“Rhythm” was playing at BOOKOFF today. What is going on?

Masterpiece.

I thought the previous thread, which was difficult to display, had finally been buried, but this one is becoming difficult to display too... You should be banned by now, NEET.

You should use a dedicated browser by now.

I am using one, but it is still very slow, NEET.

Please ignore them...

What kind of thread is this?

Songs that become more enjoyable the more you chew on them.

This is a good direction.

GARNET CROW is finished.

We knew that a long time ago.

GARNET CROW is beginning.

GARNET CROW is standing still.

What exactly is supposed to begin?

Breakup.

I saw Yurippe appearing on a radio program at Mugen. She has pierced ears. She really did it—and she is wearing a ring too.

Then GARNET CROW is finished.

>>40 Is it another ring on her left ring finger?

She needs to go that far at least, or it would be bad.

They are the kind of band that stays in your heart, like dried squid that becomes tastier the more you chew it.

A group with the flavor of dried squid. Salty.

>>42 It is on her left middle finger. But here...

>>40 Are you talking about the Kansai appearance? I remember she was not wearing one at Spain-zaka.

Are you sure it was a piercing? These days there are more ear cuffs with elaborate designs, and many people around me choose ear cuffs rather than getting a piercing now.

It was a “piercing,” though it did not say it was in the ear. The ear? Or maybe the lip...

Visual-kei Yurippe... I am laughing.

Visual kei is truly finished, so there is nothing to laugh about.

Have the deletions started?

Yurippe is cute on *Entertainment* and *MU-GEN*.

She has been wearing them for a long time, has she not?

What exactly do you dislike? Suspecting she is married? Thinking she is delinquent?

It was Nana, not Yurippe, who had a piercing before. But Nana's hole seems to have closed up. By the way, I am really bored too...

GARNET CROW has an air of being nearly finished.

That is true. Their music also has an air of being finished.

You stink.

If they are going to end, I hope they release one powerful, impactful song at the end. I do not want it to end halfheartedly like this. Still, as long as the regular 10,000 fans stay with them, they probably will not end.

The mass-market trajectory: 5th → singles continue the *MÄR* tie-in, affecting the overall unity of the next album → 6th, no worse than the previous one, moves toward singles and mass appeal → used in an anime, gradually losing even the dark coloring → fans lose trust in the production → 7th has originality, but may have exhausted its ideas and becomes easy to tire of → even the dried-squid metaphor no longer matters → if darkness is what people want, there is music with noise, gothic metal, grunge, and modern taste → 8th becomes bloated, and the songs become poor → sales slump; forget surpassing the previous album → fans leave in large numbers → ...

He is obviously a hater, so why does he know so much about the *MÄR* tie-in continuing and the fifth album being aimed at the mainstream? lol It would be cute if he criticized them without knowing anything, but researching every detail before hating is truly disgusting. lol And he is doing it during a holiday weekend. What a pitiful hater.

I do not know whether he is a hater, but I do not see a problem with commercialism or mainstream appeal. That is what pop music is.

Just look at all of ID:J/yDpN/30's posts. They are nothing but negative opinions.

>>62 Try to understand how foolish it is to bite at such a pitiful hater. (＾＾) You cannot accept or ignore even the negative opinion of an anonymous nobody. (＾＾) Are you really that afraid of your beloved GARNET being criticized? I do not get it... Well, I am not saying you are forbidden to take an exclusionary attitude. (＾＾) >>64 I do not know about the person posting in the middle of the night. I only opened 2ch around 11. (＾＾) Then I went out with friends in the afternoon and only just came back. (＾＾)

So it really is you... lol

I am speechless at these halfhearted people lately. Though I suppose they suit GARNET as it is now.

Hoimin switches between using a fixed name and removing it.

He must have forgotten to change IDs. lol An idiot and trash fixed-name poster whose self-conversation has been exposed. lolololol

His stupidity is written all over his face. lol

These people cannot even read a sentence. (＾＾) They saw my reply and immediately called it self-conversation. (＾＾)

>>71 No, that is not what...

>>70 This is genuinely impressive. Honestly. (＾＾) It shows how low the level of this thread and this board is. (＾＾) At first they desperately replied to posts made from a critical, negative position, and the very next reply was “His stupidity is written all over his face.” The previous reply had just exposed their own disgrace, and the next one says “His stupidity is written all over his face.” That is probably what a real idiot looks like. (＾＾) lol I think the regulars here should treasure someone like this. (＾＾) Apart from the Bansalō board, I do not think you would find another idiot like this; he is a rare specimen. (＾＾) lol Ah, this is fun. (＾＾) I will escape before that kid who keeps yelling “self-conversation” arrives. lol I am going to read Higashino's *Henshin* and *Tegami*, which I just bought. Goodbye, everyone. (＾＾)

>>72 Huh? Read my reply to >>65 carefully. (＾＾) Someone as smart as you should understand it, right? (＾＾)

>>69 I remember Yukio's connection is the kind that cannot change IDs.

Higashino's *Henshin*... Is that not the novel I read yesterday? lolol

Is it more interesting than Kafka's *The Metamorphosis*?

>>77 Those are completely different things, are they not? lol Can you really compare them? lol

Yurippe's piercing was from the radio appearance on October 15, right? I heard that when she traveled, she forgot the charger for her digital camera and bought a new one locally. lol Was she traveling with Azuki?

My family watched Saegusa and said, “Is that the same person who plays piano in GC?” Well, I suppose that is how it looks if you are not used to them.

Not a single fixed-name poster in this thread is decent.

Does the ZARD *What a beautiful moment* DVD feature the old man called God Hand?

>>82 He appears a lot, wandering around while playing.

As expected of the old man.

Let us all praise the old man.

God Hand.

He has a huge penis.

>>87 Hey. lol

Oh, he appears? The old man, God Hand!! And he is really energetic too? Then I am going to Amazon now.

[A long excerpt from the lyrics of “Yukibotaru,” describing winter streets, loneliness, a snow firefly, and longing for someone who is still alive.]

What song were those lyrics from again?

“Hotaru Yuki Jidai.”

91: Yukio ◆cXPIJRknUY, November 1, 20:49:11 Someone said in this thread that there are people who understand things like tension chords and modulation. (Well, perhaps only one or two in the old threads.) Mr. Yukio seems to have rather questionable knowledge after all. lol I was surprised that he interpreted the first track of GARNET's new release as having a dark-ambient, decadent feeling. (・∀・)/~~~ Can someone explain tension chords and modulation? Also, does anyone know whether this release uses a lot of programmed drums, only a few, or none at all?

I feel that the old man's arrangements have started to become monotonous lately. I know simplicity and the same old monotony are different things, but perhaps I am speaking beyond my expertise...

In this day and age, arrangements as brilliant as the synthesizer in the chorus of “Himawari” or the intro of “Marginal Man” exist nowhere except among Being-affiliated arrangers.

People here really like using the word “brilliant” so casually...

Because their education and vocabulary are poor, they cannot express anything except “brilliant” or “crap.”

http://www.ntv.co.jp/best-artist/

So, is there anyone who can answer the question in >>93?

>>96–97 2ch... or rather, internet newcomers? Is this not pretty normal?

>>100 I mean people use phrases like “gets better the more you listen” and “masterpiece” far too often. Other GARNET threads say things like that all the time too.

>>100 The internet should have age and intelligence restrictions.

The guitar tone on the indie-era album is so good. “Futari no Rocket,” “Eien ni Nemure,” and “A Crown”—why do they not use that kind of sound anymore? The rhythm-section sound is great too.

That is what a masterpiece is. This is when you should use the word.

>>99 There are no credits for it in the production list of the regular album. ...So I assumed every track used programmed instruments.

>>105 You can still hear the difference, right? Correct. Hmm... I am a little happy and a little disappointed. I had hoped to bait the one or two people here who pretend to know everything. lol

>>103 As for “Futari no Rocket” itself, I still prefer the first-album version. The bass and drums were recorded with real instruments. The instruments and the song's development fit together very well. >>104 Agreed. People should not say “masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece” at every opportunity.

Anyone who has not even read Dante's *Divine Comedy* should stop lecturing everyone as if they understand it.

There do not seem to be many GARNET songs with especially prominent bass. Maybe “flying”? It feels like the whole Being/GIZA camp is like that.

lolololol Are you talking about Dante's *Divine Comedy*? lol

>>109 “Nakenai Yoru mo.”

>>111 Oh, right.

ID:uCh5Cyx00 Who do you think you are?

ID:JntuzySX0 Who do you think you are?

ID:ariUmAaL0 How old are you?

Me, of course.

I really want to somehow bring GARNET CROW and ZARD here! Does anyone have a good idea?

>>113 Were you actually trying to address >>108?

From now on, GARNET CROW will soar freely across that wide sky, that universe, and that sea! With a rabbit...

Please vote. http://ranking.rulez.jp/choice/index.html

>>113 Bae Yong-joon-sama. People have almost forgotten him lately...

The song after “Sen Ijou no Kotoba o Narabetemo” on the first album is amazing. I only rented it and recorded it onto an MD, so I do not know the title.

>>122 “Candy Please.”

>>122 “Idea no Suisō.”

>>122 “Miraifu Lovers.”

Is this thread broken?

>>123 That one is actually correct. And then you ask, “Is this thread broken?” ... lol

Is my dedicated browser malfunctioning? On my side, >>123 is displayed as >>60. I was not asking whether the reply to someone else was broken; I was asking because the display itself looked broken.

>>127 (probably?) It became 63 on my side too. I think several replies are missing somewhere. The same thing happened in the previous thread.

>>122 “Wonder land.” This thread is something else...

It sounds like there will be a new backing musician for the live shows. Hitoshi Okamoto said so on the radio. Could it be a violinist?

There is no need for a violinist. Is someone being replaced? It sounds like the electric guitarist other than Ōga may be changing.

Strings are still necessary. Adding real strings to a song like “Yumemita” would be beautiful and work well.

I have a feeling it will be the person who appeared in the “Maboroshi” music video. No, not Nana in black.

That person looks as if they participated in “Maboroshi,” but actually did not.

>>132 Wait, lolol—is that not Mochi? lolol The acoustic guitar player is Shimeji, though.

If anything, Ōga is less necessary. That piercing sound is so tiring.

When I saw >>132, I thought, “Oh, who is that?” Then I saw >>136 and burst out laughing. lololololololol

However you look at it, Mochi is necessary.

Apart from the yuri-related part of GARNET's female following, Mochi's looks are basically what supports it.

Really?

Rather than his looks... perhaps his character? His voice?

I vote for the character. Most importantly, Mochi's role as the person everyone picks on supports this thread in its own way.

I have always thought Mochi's voice sounded a little like Giants pitcher Koji Uehara.

I will tell you honestly, Imagawa-chan: a fake mustache will not grow.

What do you all find appealing about GARNET? >>1>1>1

This is my first time attending Mochi Night. Is the sorting number the same as the seat number?

>>144 Oh, wow. You really noticed that. We can use this.

Good morning. >>147 It is your admission number. Basically, the whole venue is standing-room only.

Think about it—there is only one month left until the live show. This year is almost over too.

Tell me “Maboroshi's” first-week sales and ranking.

“Maboroshi” 06/09/25 — #7, 13,357, *13,347. For questions like this, ask here and someone will answer 100% of the time: http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/music/3914/1146756395/l50

>>152 Thanks. I know this kind of question is annoying, but I am not going to reflect on it. Thanks anyway.

> I am not going to reflect on it. You are certainly good at biting the hand that helps you.

Not that it matters, but total sales are exactly 1.16 million copies.

I have been listening to *THE TWILIGHT VALLEY* constantly lately, but I watched the first live DVD again after a long time. The early songs especially are unbelievably good.

The early period was practically divinely inspired.

>>93 I do not know whether you were baiting people or genuinely thought that, but I do not think an ordinary fan needs to know music in such detail. I remember thinking something similar before. In one of Yukio's replies—I do not remember whether it was actually his—there was talk of tension chords, and someone replied that it was looking down on people. I wondered, “Was I being looked down on?” I do not even know what a tension chord is, but I do not think not knowing prevents anyone from enjoying music. Of course, if someone claims to love music but does not even know what a melody or riff is, that is somewhat troublesome. But you do not need to know chords too. At the end of the day, it is just music; there is no need to take it that seriously.

>>158 Hey, what kind of reply is that? (＾＾) lol > At the end of the day, it is just music; there is no need to take it that seriously. Wow. (＾＾) lololol That interpretation really jumps a long way. (＾＾) lol I have to tilt my head and wonder why that reply summoned such a long response. Listeners certainly do not need to understand basics such as tension chords, diatonic chords, relative and parallel major/minor keys, or darkening and brightening. I am not interested in them myself either. (＾＾) But still... (＾＾)

Wow, it gets dark early. (＾＾) The government office where I work is close to home, but give me a break. (＾＾) I am not good at driving at night.

Oh, so he is a civil servant.

The number of replies does not seem to be growing much... (＾＾) I will disappear from here for today. (＾＾)

I just thought of this: would a tie-in with *Kekkaishi* not suit them? Its horror atmosphere would be better than the *MÄR* tie-in.

I am probably the one who started talking about tension chords. It was when Cloudberry Jam came up, right? But that kind of thing is completely unnecessary for listening to songs. I only use theory when putting music into words. Still, people should know a term like “riff” to some extent... and perhaps that is not really theory.

Is *Kekkaishi* not an Avex show?...

>>165 Being/GIZA got that slot. Ratings fell below 10%, so Avex let it go.

lol It is completely a GIZA slot now.

I hope a GARNET CROW song is chosen as the theme song for Yomiuri TV's *Kekkaishi* in the future! GARNET's dark image fits the anime's horror atmosphere perfectly. I just sent this message through the contact form on the official website.

As expected, you people really like anime.

>>168 Nice work. lolol It makes me happy under the illusion that my suggestion was adopted. Your initiative is no worse than Nana's. Still, I was only joking when I suggested it, so I feel a little guilty...

>>168 Please say it in Japanese.

test

The provider's restriction has finally been lifted. It was frustrating not being able to write how I feel about Yurippe. I love you, Yurippe.

Which song did everyone vote for in the official questionnaire? I voted for “Rusty Rail.” I wonder if the votes will be widely scattered.

I was torn between “Rusty Rail,” “Kiiroi Tsuki,” “Kakurenbo,” and “Marginal Man.” In the end, I voted for “Marginal Man.”

>>164 Also, on this board people should at least know “backing” and “arpeggio.” (＾＾) Was it “Himawari no Iro”? I do not want to see painfully stupid replies like “The intro to that song is beautiful; it has a pretty synth arrangement!” I saw someone write something like that on a website while acting very knowledgeable. (＾＾) It would be fine if they simply said they did not know, but the way they speak as if they are unquestionably correct makes me cringe. (＾＾)

I was torn between “Rusty Rail” and “Kakurenbo,” and finally voted for “Kiiroi Tsuki.”

I was torn between “Rusty Rail,” “Rusty Rail,” “Rusty Rail,” and “Rusty Rail,” and finally voted for “Rusty Rail.”

I was torn between “Rusty Rail,” “Kiiroi Tsuki,” “Kakurenbo,” and “Marginal Man.” In the end, I gave up and did not vote.

I am not saying they should stop using programmed instruments, but I wish they would stop using the same unchanging programming. It does not just lack impact; it gets tiring to listen to.

I agonized over it too and ended up not voting. I struggled over the fifth-album category as well, and over which songs from the older catalog to list. lol

I still do not understand what is good about “Yellow Moon.” It is sharp and grating. I was torn between “Rusty Rail” and “WEEKEND,” and finally entered “WEEKEND.” Writing something too long would be cruel to Yurippe, but since they are GARNET fans, there will probably be many long essays.

Because I want to hear it at the live show.

Yurippe is not going to read them one by one. No way.

[A long promotional post praising Rina Aiuchi's vocal power, looks, stage presence, melodies, dance-pop songs, ballads, former-model background, and cute anime-like speaking voice; it links to a live track called “Rainbow” and the album *Be Happy*.]

I really do not understand people who do not see what is good about “Kiiroi Tsuki.” A masterpiece like that cannot be written casually.

[ASCII-art post.]

Why is no one mentioning “Anywhere”? I have not encountered a depressive song this good in a long time. It is so depressive that it makes you lose sight of the meaning of your own life; I think this is the first song I have heard like that. I think traveling during this season while looping this, “Rusty,” and “Himawari” endlessly would be wonderful.

If you want depressive songs, listen to old underground folk or Joy Division. GARNET's depressive songs sound almost like “Happy Birthday.”

Oh, wow! Underground folk is my specialty! For depressive songs, I recommend Takashi Nishioka, especially his solo work.

I think Nishioka and Nana have different kinds of depression.

They cannot escape bad tie-ins, their sound keeps getting sharper, and their tone has changed since their debut. That is all.

Is there really anyone whose voice never changes from their debut? And the people who keep saying “sharp, sharp, sharp”—are they listening on a cheap 5,000-yen stereo? “Sharp, sharp, sharp”—are you Keronpa?

It is impossible for there to be absolutely no change, but with people like Kazumasa Oda, Porno Graffitti, and Keisuke Kuwata, I do not think you can hear a difference after just one listen.

>>194 You cannot assume a 5,000-yen stereo is necessarily bad, but GARNET's songs really do sound different on a good stereo. On a track like “Mizu no Nai...,” the piano's high notes and the lingering resonance of the drums are especially beautiful. I auditioned it on a DENON stereo at an electronics store and was genuinely moved. For some reason, the clerk looked suspicious, though.

The advance leak is here. lololololololol “Kaze to RAINBOW” — lyrics by AZUKI七, music by Yuri Nakamura, arrangement by Hirohito Furui. [Long leaked lyrics excerpt: a sensual, dreamlike song about a “metal heart,” tropical emotion, chasing wind and rainbows, hot kisses, sea breezes, drifting passion, and searching beyond a closed heart.]

I have been meaning to say this... the *MÄR* effect is amazing.

>>197 Those lyrics look like they only have a verse, a bridge, and a chorus.

>>197 Did you write those lyrics?

Terrible lyrics.

Even the staff on Saegusa's side would put a stop to this.

Every song made for the *MÄR* tie-in is awful. It is about time they returned to their old direction.

I will post this one too. lolololol “Nocturne Desperate” — lyrics by AZUKI七, music by Yuri Nakamura, arrangement by Hirohito Furui. [Long leaked lyrics excerpt about moonlight, a lover leaving the city, waiting on frozen ground, nightmares, overflowing hatred, and a nocturnal madness that continues across generations.]

>>204 Did you write those lyrics?

>>200 No. I found the lyrics and title on an overseas GIZA fan site and reposted them as-is. lolololol

No wonder the Japanese is so strange. lol Or has Nana finally started forgetting Japanese too?

That Kagehoi person only started listening to GARNET recently, so why does he know even the obscure song “Himawari no Iro” and read impressions on some website?

>>208 “Himawari no Iro” is on the fifth album. That is all you can expect from someone looking for a fight.

[A long off-topic list arguing that Japanese hip-hop, often dismissed as DQN music, includes many highly educated artists, naming rappers and their universities. It ends with an anti-right-wing slogan and a long string of laughter.]

Good morning. Tokyo advance reservations have started.

>>208 That is probably a forbidden topic. lolol

>>208 I thought he was a new character played by one of the administrators.

The notable thing in the second “Kaze to...” music video is Yurippe shaking a maraca throughout the chorus. lolol

> You said “Himawari no Iro,” right? This part feels fake, or at least strange. lol Even if you cannot remember the title, would you not simply say you forgot it? Why pretend not to know? And did you not read impressions on some website too? There is no way you could forget the title. lol I think people should know at least what a riff is, but even if “arpeggio” is off-putting, music can still be enjoyed.

There has been a particularly aggressive idiot here since yesterday. lol If you do not want to take music that seriously, then do not reply. lol And do not write a long essay about it.

Yurippe is the universe.

[Quoted the earlier “mass-market trajectory” post and the replies accusing its author of being a well-researched hater, followed by Kagehoi's lengthy self-defense and mockery.]

I do not know much about the anime called *MÄR Heaven*, but as long as the lyrics are not especially strange, I do not care that much. >>252 >>252 >>252

The dedicated browser seems to be malfunctioning and has mixed in something strange, but ignore it. The repeated >>252 is extra.

Looking forward to >>252.

A gigantic direct insertion just arrived.

Shimeji 222.

>>223 You idiot~

I only just learned that “Himawari no Iro” was not first included on the fifth album. By the way, I have only recently become hooked on track 6 of the first album; I do not know its name.

Yurippe is this world.

>>225 “Koisuru Betty.”

Is it “HAPPY DAYS”? Oh.

>>213 I thought so too... The tone of the review is exactly the same. However, one of the administrators has zero interest in male artists' work, so I do not think it is the same person. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00005F31R/sr=8-8/qid=1162904100/ref=sr_1_8/250-1531749-6526603?ie=UTF8&s=music [A comparison accusing Yukio of copying an administrator's review: both describe clear blue skies, vivid green trees, twilight, warmth, nostalgia, sadness, and the important things modern society has lost.]

Speaking of that administrator, please do something about those ridiculous genre classifications. lol What is Kishimoto supposed to be? J-pop and dance, right? lol

Stop this mutual exclusion between similar people. It is ugly.

The new GARNET CROW is born! Mami Miyoshi and Makoto Miyoshi are confirmed to be joining!!!!!!!!!!!! Please look forward to it.

Glow Lamp again...

How many hours will Okamoto Night last?

Good morning. >>234 Probably under two hours. If the MC gets lively, it may last longer, but without improvisation it should not be possible. lol

Shiori Takei, new single “Like a little Love” Lyrics: AZUKI七 (GARNET CROW) Music: Akihito Tokunaga (doa) Arrangement: Satoshi Kobayashi On sale today from GIZA studio.

Go, Shiorin!

>>224 It feels like a Porno Graffitti song.

>>238 Do not confuse it with pornographic photos.

Exactly. That would be insulting to pornographic photos.

>>240 This is not the place for you.

“Pornographic photos” is *poruno-gurafu*; *Porno Graffitti* means “pornographic graffiti.” But the fact that Porno Graffitti is crap has not changed.

Exactly. Apart from the dirty name, what other merit does that stuff have?

Because they are demons.

This embarrassingly painful habit of putting down other bands is not good. (・∀・)

Stop it, everyone. Porno Graffitti's second album *Extreme* is a masterpiece!!

Is Pia's pre-reservation first-come, first-served?

Yurippe is the world.

At Mochi Night, roughly what admission number reaches the front of the stage?

—God Hand Hirohito Furui quotes— He pronounces “car navigation” as “kan navigation.”

Probably up to number 200 million.

>>249 If it is not a single-digit number, you have no chance.

Ah.

I listened to “Yūdachi no Niwa” here and got an erection. Now I want to hear the real thing. Though I feel I have heard the same guitar rhythm in Western music. ttp://www6.ocn.ne.jp/~pebble/midi/yudachinoniwa.html

>>254 Here: http://www.haoting.com/musiclist/ht_76552d2c4cf6eb88.htm

Even among fans, the guitarist and guitar playing are completely ignored. With “Yūdachi no Niwa,” the highlights are really the lyrics and the comfortable piano melody.

Yurippe is more important than anything in this world.

>>255 !!!!!!!!!!!! By the way, the outro is not just the guitar; even the backing vocals are basically an exact copy of The Police. Conclusion: GARNET CROW is brilliant. Hirohito Furui is brilliant too. Even if someone said it was a song that sold 1.5 million copies in 1993, I think a few people would believe it.

“Chara-chara-chara... chalan! cha-cha-chan! chan-cha!” That part really gets me.

Saying it had an effect just because Nana wrote lyrics for Takei is ridiculous. lol That is such simplistic thinking. Exactly.

Come to think of it, there used to be a “Yumemita Ato de” Flash animation.

It looks like the fifth album drove quite a few fans away. Rest in peace.

Does anyone have any news about God Hand Hirohito Furui?

I wish this awful *MÄR* would end already...

【Yuri】GARNET CROW 03【Nana】 http://music5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1122031082/l50 To the flooders: there is an infuriating fixed-name poster in this thread. Come cause trouble there.

Yurippe is the best.

Yurippe is the universe.

Flooders, go die.

http://lib.verycd.com/2005/10/18/0000070149.html I do not know how to use it. There are so many things I want to see. orz

>>249 At Pan Kōjō: Numbers 1–4 are definitely front row. Number 5 is safe. Number 6 can get there as long as you are not pushed out. Number 7 is questionable. Numbers 8–9 are basically hopeless, unless you are part of the gang; then you can reach the front. In the 10s, people cut in using their special tricks. Majin, Shioriina, aki-hamamatsu, and their followers all go to the front. In the 20s, who can still reach the front? Regardless of number, some Uto otaku is in the center of the front row. Still, some people dawdle or deliberately do not move forward, so it is not always exactly like this.

I want to worship Yurippe.

I thought “Hashiru Yuku Made Zutto” suited this season, so I casually listened to it and got hooked. It has also been a long time since I heard it, but it really is an excellent song. This is what GARNET is supposed to be.

Sorry, I forgot to use sage.

I have started hearing the intro of “Rusty Rail” as the sound of a railway crossing. Let us replace the sound at every railway crossing in Japan with it!

>>288 It sounds not only like a crossing, but also like the monotonous rhythm of a train.

Good morning. Today is MFM distribution day.

Shiori Takei, “Like a little Love” — lyrics by AZUKI七 (GARNET CROW), music by Akihito Tokunaga (doa), arrangement by Satoshi Kobayashi; on sale now from GIZA studio; Oricon daily debut #31 → now #36. >>290 It was already out yesterday.

Takei is finished.

Stop posting Takei reports.

>>291 I like Takei too, but stop promoting her everywhere. It is unbearably annoying. Everyone thinks so except you. Whether you become disliked or whatever does not matter to me, but I cannot stand you dragging Takei down with you.

>>294 That post was made by a Morning Musume member. Who could it be?

>>294 = disgusting Morning Musume otaku.

[ASCII-art joke: “Another patient has escaped from the hospital,” aimed at >>294.]

>>291 I bought several copies of Morning Musume's “Aruiteru.”

I thought Takei's second album was terrible, but it was surprisingly good after I listened to it.

I love you, Yurippe.

Before I knew it, I reached 300 for Yurippe.

300 points for Mr. Haratai.

I do not think I should listen only to the fifth album, so I listened to the third today. I have previously paid attention to the bass in “Nakenai Yoru mo” and “Only stay,” and the guitar in “Crystal Gauge,” but today I suddenly became interested in the bass sound of “Crystal Gauge.” You can only hear it if you listen very carefully. My fussy way of listening made me feel a little perverted. Has anyone else had this happen?

......No.

I only gaze at Yurippe.

“Crystal Gauge” is a miracle... No, a masterpiece that happened to be born.

>>303 You are an idiot. What is fun about listening to programmed instruments?

>>303 > You can only hear it if you listen very carefully. My fussy way of listening made me feel a little perverted. You were not thinking “my way of listening is a little perverted”; you were thinking “my way of listening is so special and impressive,” right? Good luck, narcissist.

Jealous of >>303's popularity.

It feels as if various sounds have been mixed into the noise of a railway crossing.

When you say something like >>303, people attack you. >>307 is barely over the line too.

If you reject programmed instruments, then the only “live” elements in GARNET are Mochi's guitar and Yuri's vocals. Most of the old man's parts are also programmed samples entered in real time. Given Azuki's playing ability, there would be little point in bringing her into the studio to perform.

If you equate programmed instruments with weightlessness and say they are unnecessary, how could you listen to GARNET? Are they not essential to the first album's songs and the more fantastical tracks? If real instruments were thundering through “Crystal Gauge,” it would no longer be “crystal.” For band-like songs such as the *MÄR* tie-ins, I think real instruments should be used. But if they use real instruments halfheartedly, I would rather they program everything from the beginning. I find Hirohito Furui's bass lines interesting. It is the drums that are the problem...

If they use real instruments, they need a drummer among the members. And the two of them are keyboard players anyway. There would not be much point in making the keyboards live either. One could play piano and the other something like a celesta or harpsichord, and two keyboard instruments would be acceptable, but the range of tones and resonance would still worry me. The old man should occasionally make sounds that do not depend on drums. If he uses them, they should do more than merely keep the beat.

>>302 Mr. Haratai died.

You all know a lot about music.

But it looks like you are only showing off your knowledge...

>>317 But I am only using extremely simple words...

Knowledge? (＾＾) Come on... (＾＾) I would like some strings too... (＾＾) I am not demanding real strings as an extravagance. (＾＾) >>314 > They should do more than merely keep the beat. Sequencers, rhythm machines, and DAW systems have developed enormously, but I have rarely heard programmed drums used to make a rhythm that is not monotonous. (＾＾) Could you explain specifically what kind of sound you want him to make? (＾＾)

Hoimin has become a pure GARNET fan now, has he not?

>>319 As long as the drums do not play in a rigid, mechanical way, that is enough.

[A playful fan-fiction-style profile portraying Yuri Nakamura as extraordinarily considerate and capable, AZUKI七's ideal partner and “wife,” beloved by other Being artists, and formerly an indoor person who vowed to become more outdoorsy after receiving only one birthday e-mail.]

Kagehoi's character seems to have changed from the beginning.

He is a civil servant, after all.

>>319 Remove your fixed name and I will tell you. If you are not interested enough to do that, go study percussion.

>>325 What a stubborn little lordling... (＾＾) If I remove it, can I look forward to a reply with some actual content? (＾＾) I am serious. (＾＾)

◆ Please completely ignore posts by the filthy fixed-name poster. If you respond to him, you are equally pathetic. Is it fair to assume that anyone who reacts to a fixed-name poster is engaging in self-conversation?

“Anywhere” is number one. Hearing Yurippe say something like that gives me a little hope for the future.

It is not absolutely certain, and there may be newcomers, but treating everyone that way is not necessarily bad. Ignoring them is best. >>322 I did not know the last two lines either.

Okay.

When I think of a PS3 as equivalent to fourteen months of rent, I cannot bring myself to buy one.

I forgot to grab 11/11 11:11:11. Orz

Deleted.

>>322 What is that? A joke? I started laughing for no reason. lol

[A surreal, grotesque parody about Yuri being a coward, Nana dying young, and a woman claiming to be Nana's lover asking Hitoshi to treat her as Nana.]

Boring.

Yurippe is the pillar of my heart.

The new thread is up; come join us again! 【The strongest in this world】Yurippe is so adorable. Eighth Worship Thread【Beauty】 http://music5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mjsaloon/1163243650/

I saw the regular edition of *Best* at HMV for the first time today.

I am interested in GIZA. Among Rina, Yurippe, and Yūka, which artist is the cutest, has the strongest volume, the prettiest high notes, and the most power? Could you tell me? Also, which album do you recommend? If there are songs you like, I would like to hear those too.

>>340 You know the nicknames so well, yet you come here to ask this. I do not understand your intention. Why pretend not to know?

Everyone, ignore this.

I listened to the latest album and was surprised that its overall quality was higher than expected. It really is good... I only recently became a fan, but now I want to go to a live show too.

>>343 A live show... It will be difficult to get tickets now except through auctions.

Shimeji 345.

There is less than a month left until the live show. I am getting excited. Give me a high-speed special one-day show.

>>344 That is not true. There are still tickets for Osaka, and Pia is still holding an advance lottery for Tokyo. You can still get one if you simply buy it.

>>344 >>347 Thanks for the information. I already have other live shows filling my December, but I will consider whether I can go. I definitely want to go on the next tour.

>>347 How can I get one of the remaining tickets? As someone who missed the purchase, I cannot pretend not to hear this.

>>349 Go to http://t.pia.co.jp/ and search for GARNET.

There are not many left for Osaka either. GARNET is pretty popular.

>>350 I did not know sales had resumed. Thanks.

November 30, Okamoto NIGHT, GARNET CROW at hills Pan Kōjō — up to number 33. Yahoo Auctions listing: bidder “thebackhorn_kizunasong” is highest bidder, 24,000 yen, quantity 1, last manual bid at 2:25 a.m. on November 11.

I am the person from 340. I just got home, and phone keys really are difficult to use. Regarding “You know the nicknames so well...”: people post this level of information both here and elsewhere. It is strange to be treated as suspicious for that alone. I am a newcomer and simply wanted to try asking. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I also want to know things that cannot be found by searching online. I heard multiple posts are not allowed, so I started with what interested me most. If that is acceptable, what albums do you recommend, and what songs do you like? I thought a well-known site like this might give me more candid opinions, so I am asking everyone.

>>354 Anyway, kid, go away. If you insist on advice, go to a fan site. The 2ch rule for newcomers is to lurk for six months. If you cannot follow that, do not come here.

He looks polite at first glance, but his combative attitude makes me think he has adolescent syndrome.

Why did you change IDs?

I can only love Yurippe.

I am the person from 354. > The 2ch rule for newcomers is to lurk for six months. I really have been lurking properly, and I am old enough to go to live shows alone without a companion. This year I have attended around ○○ shows, though unfortunately none were GARNET. I did not come here to argue or cause trouble. > Go to a fan site. Those sites are nothing but praise. I thought this place would let me hear both the good and bad sides. > Why did you change IDs? It is my second phone.

Ignore everything below.

Is this person not that “garnet” guy who used to post on a fan-site message board?

>>361 He is the same type, but subtly different. That guy did not have a phone.

You have never seen my face, spoken to me, or even met me, and this is how you begin? What a convenient rule for you. If you want to ignore me, fine; I will simply look down on the people here. Sorry—on some of the people here. I have nothing to say about GARNET itself, so I do not care. Amazing. I knew this was not an environment for calm conversation, but people like this really are everywhere. You cannot even have a conversation. For the record, I run a fan site, have real-life friends from live shows, and work for a living. At least speak properly. Is driving away a first-time visitor the etiquette here? Even if asked online, I would not reveal personal information, so there is no point asking. That is why I asked on a well-known site. Thank you for the short time, everyone. Enjoy yourselves with the rules you and some of the regulars have established. As long as this continues, flooding will never disappear. My condolences, and thank you.

( ´艸｀)

Set NG ID: XAtsXJNv0.

Where are we supposed to read this vertically? It is too advanced.

>365 If you use 2ch, you know that an ID only lasts for the day. If you are going to ignore me, do not post unnecessary replies. Or do you want to chat with me? On a proper fan site, not replying at all is common sense, by the way. You know that, right?

Very advanced.

Does this place attract strange people in particular?

They are simply coming over here from one side. What a nuisance.

There has always been an anything-goes atmosphere here. lol

Are you planning to keep this going? Or are you simply unable to ignore things? I already told you I had lurked for more than six months. Do you really think you are the ones who are right? I doubt it. If you want to talk so badly, go to a fan site. People who do not belong will really be blocked there, and there are administrators too. Do you even understand what this place is? I do not think so. I will lurk for a while, so speak with that in mind. You were the ones who first said to ignore me, not me.

> Are you planning to keep this going? No. You were the one who jumped in. > I have lurked for more than six months. That is not enough in your situation. After lurking for six months, you should start on the beginners' board. Did you not finish lurking and immediately start posting on a regular board? > Do you really think you are right? That is a huge leap. > If you want to talk, go to a fan site. You are the one who jumped in first. lol > Do you understand what this place is? Who should be asking that? lol > Speak with the fact that I will lurk in mind. That is an incredibly condescending tone. Summary: You jumped in voluntarily, then tried to push everyone away by provoking them. Classic attention-seeking behavior. You began politely asking a question, but the moment someone said something, you became angry and increasingly aggressive. Now you even say, “I will lurk for a while, so remember that when you post.” It is pitiful. You are clearly an attention-seeking oddball. I return your own advice: if you want to talk so badly, go to a fan site. You asked the question in the first place, so go ask it elsewhere with the same attitude. You will be attacked 100% of the time.

Stop it and look at Keiko Kitagawa's photo book before going to bed.

There have not been many posts lately, so the regulars are just tossing jokes at you for fun.

>>373 You really never learn. Is that all you have to say? Are you managing this place? How ridiculous. I do not want to be forced to start on a beginners' board; who made that rule? It is just your personal decree. There is nothing far-fetched about my point. I asked a question, then you suddenly decided to ignore me—that is the leap. Stop justifying yourselves. Are you an administrator? If not, stop acting self-righteous. I think asking whether this is how 2ch works is the correct response when things get this absurd. You claim to ignore me while responding to everything. Defending your own people is ugly, and you are the condescending ones. Summary: Who is the attention-seeker here? The internet is broad, but this place is narrow. Is politely asking a question not basic etiquette when meeting someone for the first time? You ignored a first-time visitor immediately—is that etiquette? Stop defending your own people. The ones who cannot ignore this and are clearly attention-seekers are you. Your repeated “you, you, you” in the latter half does not sound very adult either. People cannot ask questions because there are too many people like you in this kind of environment. I have never had this experience on a fan site. In any case, calm down.

Congratulations: *THE TWILIGHT VALLEY* made the monthly top ten.

All right, quietly go back to lurking.

>>378 If we respond, he will jump out again... Let us keep ignoring him. What an annoying person.

Good evening. I reflected a little, so please forgive the parts where I went too far. I had absolutely no intention of flooding the board, but it seems to have happened anyway. Sorry. Apparently I buttoned my shirt wrong from the beginning. Because I mentioned three artists, you probably mistook me for a flooder. I actually got a ticket for the December 20 live show, thanks to a real-life friend, and I am interested in Yuri's singing. I like fast songs and artists with high vocal ranges, and I think volume is especially important, so those were the criteria behind my question. Fan sites are fine, but as I said, constant praise of everything does not feel right; I feel the same way about my real-life friends. That is why I asked here. It is difficult to say much now, but that was the feeling with which I asked. I am sorry for posting things that made people uncomfortable. I will do more research myself. I am looking forward to the live show.

Is this person an idiot? [Quotes the entirety of post 376 and mocks it.]

I meant Nam, by the way. I cannot wait for Onitsuka to return. Even if an old man like you uses “yo” in every sentence, I know people will say it is not cute. But I have always wanted to try it once. It actually feels good. I have nothing special to write, but I keep writing. It has become a beautiful piece of pointless prose. How embarrassing... Still, I feel that giving up here would be wrong. I have been busy lately and keep asking myself whether this is really what I should be doing. How empty. Before I knew it, it became a long post. [The same “yo” refrain and self-mocking prose is repeated a second time.]

[A long off-topic post alleging that the debut single of abingdon boys school, especially the coupling track “Fre@k $hoW,” deliberately references al.ni.co, Show Wesugi, and Wesugi's cover album “SPOILS,” noting that it shares a December 6 release date. Links to Oricon and the band's website are included.]

That “garnet” guy's writing style is incredibly recognizable. lolol Every post makes me angry... He has come back recently, but he should have stayed gone. Middle-schoolers should not come to 2ch, idiots!

>>384 I am 100% sure that person is not garnet. The impression is different. The type is similar, though. Post-return garnet does not feel like that. If it were pre-return garnet, a post like that would not feel strange.

Just ignore annoying posts from outsiders.

This is getting rather interesting. lol

>>384 Exactly. Are you stupid? It is so easy to bait people here. Posts on 2ch are not meant to be believed, especially claims about the other person's background and content. You people seem very concerned with rules. Did you think I would not come back? Now I can write whatever I want. For the record, I am not ga○net. If you knew even a little, you could tell from more than just the impression. What a bunch of idiots. Also, is revealing usernames the culture here? If so, rule-like statements have no credibility. I will come by whenever I want and write whatever I want. This is 2ch, after all. I understand now: the reason this became a disturbance lies with the people on this board.

>>386 An outsider? Do you mean regarding GIZA or GARNET? Either way, it does not matter. You do not know whether I am an outsider; this is only a text exchange. Imagine whatever you like. >>387 Shall I make things even more interesting? The regulars here cannot ignore anything.

This is really interesting. (・∀・)/~~~ Is ID:XAtsXJNv0 arguing with the regulars? Apparently there are quite a few talented people here besides Mr. Yukio. lol

Living as your real self, as you say, is not easy. Do not give up everything just because there is one thing you cannot do. I dedicate this poem to you. >>390 “Regulars” only means some of the people who talk about GARNET here. This is the largest forum, so I did not get replies from everyone. Most people are probably lurking. Only a portion of the painful regular otaku actually post, and they twist the facts for their own convenience. I asked a question, and the second reply decided to ignore me. It is absurd. GARNET is unfortunate to have fans like this; I cannot help sympathizing.

Wow, the usual GARNET thread is back!

>>391 “Regulars” means the people who talk about GARNET here. That is all. (・∀・)/~~~ Leaving aside your nitpicking, if you have a question, why not ask it in another thread or in the GARNET thread on the Japanese-music board? Since it concerns GARNET, I do not think you need to insist on asking it here.

[ASCII-art raid from another board: “I came from the car board to kill the filthy fixed-name poster.”]

The nasty man with the beat-up car next door apparently destroyed himself, and I am delighted from the bottom of my heart, drinking champagne soda and thinking it is karma. Apparently, according to leaked conversation, he wrecked the car in a self-inflicted accident and had no money, so he is returning to his hometown. Now that he has no car, he rides a junk motorcycle that looks as if he found it somewhere. Soon we will have nights when we can sleep peacefully. Pack your bags and get out, even if it is one day sooner. People who play music at high volume will eventually be punished somewhere.

What is this thread? Are all GARNET CROW fans like >>391? Disgusting. ☆

>>391 That is just a tiny minority of deranged fans. (＾＾)/

>>393 That would be fine too, but there is also the ID issue. >>396 When did I say I was a fan? I only came to ask because I was interested. Are you a GARNET CROW fan? > Are they all like >>391? Were you referring to the whole group? There are ordinary fans too. How boring. Go watch GYAO instead: http://www.gyao.jp/music/

>>397 As I said, I never said I was a fan. I read everything. > I am interested in Yuri's singing. That is what I wrote, is it not? Are you an idiot?

All right, calm down... This is a place to talk about GARNET. Do you understand?

>>400 Of course I understand the situation. But do you understand the context? After I apologized once, this is what happened. >>380 On a fan site, once someone apologizes, people do not keep pursuing them like this. The difference from a fan site is probably whether other people are watching. Here, because no one is watching, people keep attacking. There is no need to reveal real usernames either. I am not bored, so I will come back and write when I feel like it. After all, people write things like “Oh, he ran away.” Writing or not writing is my choice.

[ASCII-art bear meme: the bear grabs and eats >>401.]

What kind of direction is this thread taking? There seem to be more and more threads like this lately. 2ch is approaching its final days too, I suppose.

I am speechless at the person who keeps bumping the thread... He definitely does not work for a living. lol It is clear that he is an attention-seeker, so ignore him completely. Otherwise he will never disappear.

The ZARD thread feels the same. People say to ignore troublemakers while responding to them. They say ignoring troublemakers is best, then respond again. It is not that they cannot ignore them; someone is preventing people from ignoring them. The B thread, ZARD thread, and Kamiki thread may all be the work of the same person.

There is only one possible conclusion.

>>405 You understand perfectly, do you not? That has nothing to do with me. Pretending to be an attention-seeker for fun is tiring. If you want me to leave, then do not respond to me. That is difficult here because there are too many idiots—people like >>404. How many more times will you post “ignore him” while continuing to post? You know how many people are desperate for someone to cause trouble and respond to them. Truly honest people would never post; they simply hope I will get bored and leave on my own.

Honestly, I have not been here in a long time and cannot understand the situation. Can someone summarize it in three lines?

I went out to buy something, and when I came back the thread had become this interesting. lol >>407 I do not mind you staying here. Watching you bait the “idiots” you talk about is rather entertaining. (・∀・)/~~~

Neither the idiots nor the baiting is entertaining.

For those who cannot resist and cannot ignore him: Think of the deadpan manzai style of Toro Salmon and imagine yourself as the deadpan half. Would that not work?

From here on, let us ignore him elegantly. Someone bring up a topic.

Yukio is to blame.

>>413 Strongly agreed.

While cleaning my room today, I found a Pocket Biscuits CD and listened to it for the first time in ages. I think GARNET CROW's atmosphere has something in common with Pocket Biscuits. It was a project group, but it sounds surprisingly good after all this time.

[ASCII-art prayer: “May terrible misfortune befall Yukio...”]

This is a place to talk about GARNET. Take the attention-seeking elsewhere. Also: > Always use sage; a relaxed atmosphere is encouraged.

Have there still been no reports from winners of the “Koyoi Maboroshi” joint campaign?

Idiots. Why not simply talk about GARNET CROW? These one-track-minded people only see the trees, not the forest. Of course it becomes chaotic.

“MARGINAL MAN” has decided to begin working desperately from now on! We will defeat ZARD, B'z, HYDE, and Mr. Children and shock them all! The concept is “STRIKE FREEDOM.” We will energize all humanity!

Because it is self-conversation.

>>418 I had forgotten there was such a campaign. lol Winners, please report.

Why HYDE of all people...?

?

They are really going all out. lololololololololololololol ttp://gcwish.hp.infoseek.co.jp/

“Yūdachi no Niwa” is brilliant!

>>425 Attacking an individual and posting the person's website URL to attack them is despicable. Doing that on 2ch is low, and it should not be done in the first place.

The atmosphere feels unpleasant...

The messier things get, the more we should talk about Hitoshi Okamoto, everyone.

ttp://www.clubdam.com/dam/leaf/artistLeafBaseDispath.do?artistCode=7555 It is karaoke, but it is soothing.

>>425 You really went too far this time. Was it necessary to go that far? Now no one will support anything you write afterward. You have confirmed yourself as an idiot. Do you understand how despicable some people here are?

Speaking of Mochi, he said on the radio that there might be an additional show.

>>432 Really? I am glad I sent a request e-mail through “CONTACT.” But there is still no chance of them coming near me. orz

Has the release information for “Kaze to Rainbow” still not arrived?

> “If the adults' arrangements can be resolved, there may be an additional show.” That is probably what he meant. If they have been unable to resolve it since the second live show, and that is why there have been no additional shows, it feels as if they will fail to resolve it this time too and the tour will end without one... There absolutely must be an additional show. If possible, somewhere near Kyushu.

>>431 Take that provocation to the GARNET thread on the Japanese-music board.

>>435 Yes, I have the same feeling. What exactly are these “adult arrangements”? I became an adult this year and still do not understand. In any case, I will say it too: Nagoya, please!

>>437 What are these “adult arrangements,” anyway...? Nagoya and Fukuoka are major cities too, so I hope they come.

>>437 It simply means it cannot happen through their own decision alone.

>>439 So does that simply mean they cannot make money? Could they not use a smaller venue? I really do not understand these “adult arrangements.” Anyway, I do not want to travel to Osaka, so I gave up this year.

Even a live house would be fine; I hope they come... Artists in GIZA who sell less than GARNET still actively hold live shows, so perhaps the issue is GARNET rather than GIZA. Maybe it goes like this: Fans send postcards and messages saying, “Please hold a live show. (^-^)” The members say, “It is a nuisance, and it does not make much money. We do not really want to do it... Fine, then this year we will limit it to Tokyo and Osaka.” Or perhaps they simply do not like going out.

Maybe they simply want to focus on studio work.

They are a group that is better suited to listening to on CD anyway.

Someone always posts this topic.

Yurippe is supposedly busy with studio work, but if she only has to record fifteen songs, two days should be plenty. Apart from recording vocals, she hardly does anything, right? Does she not just compose by casually tapping at a piano at home and finishing in an instant? Is she actually free every day and simply living lazily?

That does not sound like something a fan would say; it is very tactless. The vocal takes may recently be done in one take, but composition cannot possibly be completed that quickly. Creating music is a long and painful job, and producing a work with four people while maintaining a certain quality must take enormous energy. If anything, the fact that they have been releasing work so frequently lately makes me want to ask them to rest a little. They seem to be doing well themselves, though, so it is fine.

Still... the *MÄR* tie-in will probably ultimately be judged as bad songs. There is no need to release songs so desperately. When the lyrics, music, and arrangement are all made to follow an anime, once you realize the music was created from the perspective of “providing a song for an anime,” it becomes impossible to emotionally connect with it. This is especially true of “Atsumeru” and “Kaze to Rainbow.” The creators themselves surely understand this. Still, having to swallow things reluctantly is probably what “adult arrangements” means.

Shiori Takei, “Like a little Love” Lyrics: AZUKI七 Music: Akihito Tokunaga Arrangement: Satoshi Kobayashi B-sides: “Atatakai Fuyu no Hi,” “Ryūsei” On sale now from GIZA studio. I hope this single sells better than Morning Musume's “Aruiteru.”

Why was the remix album canceled?

Yurippe aside, Nana must be free every day.

I think writing lyrics is quite mentally demanding for Nana, so she must be tired. People say that in an artist's work, lyrics are the most demanding, time-consuming, and difficult part. She also has to practice keyboard so her technique does not deteriorate. When you think about it, live shows are what would make Yurippe busiest. For someone accustomed to being lazy, live shows might be stressful and exhausting. It makes sense to think that Yurippe, who dislikes hassle, does not want to do live shows.

So even those avex people who write their own lyrics despite their obvious lack of vocabulary work hard, apparently. They repeatedly produce similar, childish material.

Exactly. I want to fry Nana's pubic hair and make those people drink it.

>>451 Agreed. Yurippe misses Shinkansen trains and releases are often postponed, so she is a little careless. Not being able to keep time in the first place is unbelievable.

The postponed releases also seem like a GIZA issue. “Kimi Kazari” and “Maboroshi” were clearly postponed to target a particular chart week.

Wait. Why blame Ms. Nakamura for postponed releases? I really do not understand. Is there anyone who has never been late even once? What does calling her careless accomplish? Rather, I think she is the kind of person who works hard to create and properly express her work, and I respect her for that.

You do not need to interfere so much. If she appears careless, then she appears careless to that person. To you, she is worthy of respect. That is all. I do not respect her to that degree myself, but I think she is capable.

That is true. I got worked up earlier, sorry. As long as she writes songs at her own pace without harming her health, that is fine.

There is a thread with the same number over there too. Given the direction this is taking, Yukio's side seems rather pointed. Shall we watch it?

I think Yukio is a god. About seven years ago during New Year's, I went with my parents to a monjayaki restaurant in Shizuoka City run by Yukio's family. While the three of us were eating around the griddle, Yukio suddenly came in wearing stylish Italian clothes that did not fit the restaurant. He said, “The usual,” and was about to go upstairs when the high-school students in the restaurant shouted, “Mr. Yukio!” and “Yukio, you are so cool!” He came back and it turned into an impromptu autograph session. He signed colored paper for all thirteen or fourteen customers present. When he learned the students were on the soccer team at Shizuoka Gakuen, Kaz's old school, he chatted with them cheerfully. Then he said, “See you next time,” and went upstairs, leaving the restaurant quiet. My parents and I were excited by his friendliness and handsomeness. When we finished eating and went to pay, the waitress—Yukio's sister—pointed upstairs and said, “He already paid for all of your meals today. Please come again.” I was truly amazed.

They do not even need to release singles. One album every three months would be enough.

“Kaze to Rainbow” slowed down is terrifying. lolololololololol ttp://youtube.com/watch?v=Q5VG56ZDE2A

>>460 Oh, so he is really that manly. Honestly, I misunderstood him. I want to visit that restaurant next time.

>>463 Why are you reacting to copypasta? >>462 The Ogre Version is far too slow. lol After listening to the Hamster/Ogre Version, the normal version sounds good.

[ASCII-art reaction to >>463.]

So, what do you all think about whether Yukio is actually a god?

What a garbage thread... When did it become like this?

Does the GARNET fan club not have a calendar?

No. They would sell well if they released one. Maybe this is another “adult arrangement.” lol They used to bundle a desk calendar with a CD.

Exactly like me—I am hard. Yurippe is the best.

Will they release something like a music-video collection...?

What will the opening song of the live show be? They cannot simply open with “Anywhere,” can they? The first show opened with “call my name,” the second with “Timeless Sleep,” and the third with “Kono Fuyu no Shiro-sa ni.” I cannot guess at all.

Someone please point out the mistake!

I meant “Kono Fuyu no Shiro-sa ni.” It was just a typo.

No, perhaps it will surprisingly be something like “December no Hiro-sa.”

It is an album tour, after all.

>>475 We are talking about the opening. It should be the upbeat “Bokura dake no Hiro-sa.”

“Bokura dake no Hiro-sa” should be in the second half.

Yurippe: “Mr. Ōga is coming on~~~” Audience: “Dead silence.” Yuri: “Tremble, tremble.”

They probably will not sing “Anywhere.” I heard it is difficult even to record, and how could Yurippe, who dislikes hassle, want to sing it? By the way, it is about time we got news of a new song.

Is Yurippe really afraid of hassle? That is the first I have heard of it.

Rather than releasing “Kaze to Rainbow,” I would prefer to survive for now on *THE TWILIGHT VALLEY* alone. There, I said it.

>>478 Yes. Nakamura seems like the type who gradually builds up her condition.

Just a casual guess. The posts above make that clear. >>480 They can simply use backing tracks and lip-sync.

Deleted.

Even if she gradually builds up her condition, there is a limit. Still, whether they sing well or badly, fans will be satisfied and happy as long as they can see the members live.

It is only a feeling, but I think they will perform one of the *MÄR* songs. lol

I guess “Futari no Rocket.”

No way. lol But this time it really is impossible to guess which song they will perform.

I really want them to sing “U” and “fill away.” Especially “fill away”; it feels suited to a live show. The chances are low, though.

It would be interesting if they opened with the “tee amo~” from “Yume Hanabi.” But they will probably begin with something slow, like “Maboroshi.”

That means “Futari no Rocket.”

“Futari no Rocket” is a masterpiece. The unfortunate thing is that the major-label version's backing vocals are a little too loud.

“Futari no Rocket” is a masterpiece? You are only saying that now...? That is like only now saying “Holy Ground” is a masterpiece—absurdly late.

The opening will be “Rakurai, Raiya.”

No, perhaps they will pull off a surprise and use “His Voyage.”

I want to lick a vulva. (^ω^)

Yurippe is the only pillar of support in my heart.

There really are fewer people after all that commotion. Apart from guessing the opening song of this live show, there is hardly any decent topic left.

I got 500 for Yurippe.

Test, test.

For the opening, let us do something unexpected: “Shiawase na Pet.” Have Mochi sing it, and then surprise everyone again with “Hi-Speed Special Oneday.”

Would it not be nice to sing “blue bird” with Mochi? lol That would be incredibly unexpected. lol

“Eden” is fine for the finale.

“Itsuka Mata Aimashō.”

Not that it matters, but I hope they do not release “Kaze to Rainbow.”

I hope “Kaze to RAINBOW” is included as a B-side...

Is this another Glow Lamp? lol

Maybe he added the “>” to make it look real, but it only makes it look more fake. lol

It looks like fake information. > Unprecedented speed Still, I would love to hear Mochi or the old man play insanely fast, even once.

Insane fast playing sounds great. The phrase itself has a thrilling ring to it.

If it were like Angelo's “Rush,” that might be a headache too. I want to hear Nana shout.

Nana said you cannot play that way unless you grow a thousand arms like Senju Kannon. If the old man got serious, he really might look like Senju Kannon.

When I first became a fan, I liked the female members. Now I like the men. Especially the old man...

Is “Nakamura” not a nickname like a silent fart? Now that she is called Nakamura, is it not about time she revealed her real name?

Is it fake news that Yurippe's real name is Yuri Inoue?

>>521 I really want Mochi to do an Angelo Rush. lolol Off topic, but Angelo-sensei's twin-guitar performance on this month's *Young Guitar* DVD is incredible.

Nana is finally naked!! ttp://022.gamushara.net/talents/data/3738.jpg

Why does speed equal fast guitar playing? That would make sense in the heyday of heavy metal, but these days when people say speed, they usually mean a hardcore BPM battle.

It looks like they really have run out of material... (＾＾) lol Still, this direction may be interesting. (＾＾)

>>528 That ended in the 1980s too.

Oh, fans listen to this kind of music too? (＾＾) >>530 Hey, I did not ask you to summarize the whole scene and give a music lecture. (＾＾) So could you explain that era in detail? (＾＾)

I predict the first song at the concert will be “Yellow Moon.”

>>531 I came to it later, so I do not know that era. Ask Mr. Yukikawa or someone. I have only heard bits and pieces of some EARACHE bands.

>>533 Exactly. It was impossible. (＾＾) You act as if you know so much. (＾＾) The people from the Japanese-music board keep biting at me here and replying with posts that clearly pretend to know more than they do. lolololol Compared with them, you really do understand. (＾＾) Still, is naming only the label without naming any specific bands a characteristic cautious answer from the Japanese-music board?

>>534 People who know the subject will understand if you say “that area.” There is no need to list every band.

An official who dresses as a woman, shows his penis to old ladies on a train, and pants heavily.

Does Hoimin really know that much about music?

Sorry to interrupt the topic... I want to go to the Tokyo show. Does anyone know roughly what time it ends? I want to catch the 10:00 p.m. Shinkansen home; is that impossible? (´・ω・｀)

>>537 He seems fairly knowledgeable. I think he knows more than Yukio, who pretends to know things. Honestly, I think he is impressive, but his replies feel provocative, so I do not like him much.

Live shows usually end a little after 8. ＞live If you cannot make it, leave before the encore.

The profile looks incredibly similar. ttp://cap.silk.to/jlab-pa/s/pa1163596624312.jpg

I like this girl too.

This show starts at 7 p.m., so it should end around 9. If you take a train leaving Nakano at 9:30, you arrive at Tokyo Station at 9:48, so you can make it just in time.

Shows often start late.

I have never seen him initiate a discussion about music. I only once saw him on another board tell someone else to talk about music first, then enjoy filling in the other person's missing knowledge. Although he seems to have extensive background knowledge, he only discussed sound and history. In real life, he is probably not someone who initiates conversation, but the type who uses bluffing to make himself appear slightly—and preferably much—more knowledgeable than the other person. I have never met him, so forgive me if I am wrong. lol If I insulted him like this, he would probably say, “You are such a difficult person,” or “Then what is XX to you?” to change the subject.

I think so too.

Baby agrees too. (＾＾)

With an attitude this bad, he is already finished as a person, whether he has knowledge or not.

>>545 > He would probably say, “You are such a difficult person,” or “Then what is XX to you?” That is not what happens, but you are right that he wants to change the subject. lol Whenever he gets close to a sore spot, he tries to change the subject. That is exactly him. (ry

You call this level of behavior bad? (＾＾) I am already being quite restrained here. (＾＾) In that case, would my replies in the BUMP thread on the Japanese-music board make people question my character? (＾＾) lolol

Not that it matters, but could you disappear? At home, everything is blocked out and I cannot understand the thread at all.

So I have been declared finished as a person already? (＾＾) lolol But in real life I am a hard-working person who gets things done. (＾＾) Sob.

>>551 Oh, really? I do not care about your convenience. (＾＾) >>549 Change the subject? What a strange thing to say. (＾＾) lolol Never mind; I should not touch this topic. Someone might post fabricated data, and responding would make me look clingy and exhaust me. (＾＾) I have work tomorrow, so Baby is going to sleep. Goodbye, everyone. (＾＾)

Why can the people in this thread never learn to ignore him?

>>554 Hint: self-conversation.

Where will the GARNET members stay during the Tokyo show?

It is about time we fought back with total ignoring. Is Hoimin KKO? There are too many similarities. KKO = CEO = Yukari = Rika = Hoimin... impressive in every sense. KKO responds to everyone who reacts to him. If we do not fight back with ignoring, he will never disappear no matter how much time passes. I want to wipe KKO out through stubborn, relentless ignoring.

Kagehoi is the same person as Paseri, Yūryō, or Vegeta, who caused trouble here in the past. You should go die already.

That person really could be the same one—Paseri, Yūryō, or Vegeta.

Are these people the legendary regulars?

If different IDs appear at the same time, it is not self-conversation, right? (Though even then, it is not impossible...) And Kagehoi and Yukio's connections should both be the type that keeps the same ID all day.

Was Noel on *Waratte Iitomo!* yesterday? You should have said so earlier... I forgot to record it.

She only appeared for about thirty seconds right at the end. The audience is always cold when foreign artists appear. It was awful.

>>576 Can someone make a version where Nana jumps out of it?

I really want to lick Yurippe's vagina after she has gone a week without washing.

Apparently she uses tea leaves or something to remove the smell even without washing, so it may not be as exciting as you imagine.

If you keep saying nonsense like that, someone might sue you for defamation.

What is wrong with that? Do not worry about the details.

Washing it with Coca-Cola will do.

This has already been posted, but Mochi is hilarious. lolol ttp://www.dr-okamoto.com/index2.html

Damn it, Rie! Rie Miyazawa! I could not get one.

The phone line was impossible to get through anyway.

I cannot get through by phone... It is over.

I listened to a CD by a foreign band called The Corrs, and their atmosphere may be similar to GARNET CROW's.

I checked Pia. Is it already sold out? lol It is reassuring that their popularity has not dropped at all.

They do not delete the AA insulting Yukio, either. lol

If you look on the bright side, probably nobody submitted a deletion request for the AA. lol

The popularity really is gone.

There is no need for this thread to exist anymore, right? The pointless replies are increasing.

Move it to the Japanese music board and it will be fine.

I want Mai Kuraki, Rina Aiuchi, Miho Komatsu, Yuka Saegusa, Yuri Nakamura, Aya Kamiki, and AZUKI (AZUKI Nana, the lyricist) to sing Ashita ga Aru Sa.

Before I die, even for just one day, I want to relive my elementary-school days: lively classes, playing outside in P.E., and playing until evening after school. I want to walk home through the sunset and the scent of sweet olive while my family welcomes me with “Welcome home.” I want to chat while watching TV, eat my mother's dinner, watch a movie with everyone after my bath, then get sleepy before it ends and crawl into bed. I would hate to leave that room, but consciousness would soon fade... and then I would want to die.

Once the live show starts, this thread will get a little livelier... probably.

Yukio is pretty handsome.

I do not know a single song on the second Miho Komatsu compilation.

Same here. To me, Komatsu is basically “the Conan person.”

I do not know even one of them.

>>646 If anything, I am more curious how you became a GARNET fan. I am basically from the Conan generation too... Thinking about it, the first time I learned Osaan's name was through Komatsu's work.

There are surprisingly many people who are uninterested even when the members provide songs. Not just Osaan; Hitoshi Okamoto (Mochi, or Oka-Mochi) has contributed too.

Even if they contribute, the musical style naturally changes from what they do with GARNET, so it is understandable that some people are not interested.

I am not interested in any of the songs Mochi contributed, either...

As for how I became a GARNET fan... What was it again? I had heard the name GARNET CROW somewhere, learned at a CD shop that their sound was distinctive, borrowed an album, and got hooked.

It is painful when someone assumes everyone's path to becoming a fan was Conan. That is such a narrow view...

I like B'z → there are no other good musicians now → I like older acts such as DEEN and T-BOLAN → I found a DEEN golden-era M-stage video on YouTube; the combination of rock and the members' piano parts was fantastic → I remembered that those people called Garnet Crow had a similarly cool style → I only knew Yume mita ato de and Kimi to Iu Hikari, so I checked YouTube → everything was a masterpiece and the arrangements were the best → compilation → Twilight → became a fan.

Come to think of it, how did I know Yume Mita and Kimi Hikari? It was probably Conan after all.

>>652 Nobody said everyone came in that way, idiot. lol But it is true that people still say, “Oh, they are the Conan people.” That is mostly a thing of the past now.

For me: I became interested because of Rai Rai A → I only knew Yume mita ato de and flying; I thought they were an anime-song act, so I kept my distance, but then checked YouTube → all masterpieces with the best arrangements → compilation → became a fan → Twilight. They can rank near the top of Oricon, so I think they are fairly mainstream, but many people around me still do not know them. Someone even said the other day, “Oh, they are the people who do Western music,” orz.

For me: I learned about them from Conan's Mysterious Eyes → heard flying in TALES and thought it was pretty good, but did not listen seriously → rented last year's compilation; although I rented it, I did not listen for months → finally listened to it, initially thought it was nothing special, but for some reason kept listening. Eventually I realized how great the band was and became a fan.

Thanks for the outsider's expert opinion.

Mother's Lunchbox: A child was ashamed of the plain, unattractive lunches their ill mother made and secretly threw them away in a school bathroom. One day the child cruelly rejected a lunch containing poorly peeled shrimp and told her never to make one again. The mother stopped, grew weaker, and died six months later. In her diary, the child found notes about how her hands trembled and she could not peel the shrimp properly, followed by “I'm sorry.”

I have not watched much Conan, but when I think of Conan I think of Rina Aiuchi or Mai Kuraki. Before I consciously started listening, I had only heard their names and had no real impression of them.

The way the chorus enters in Spiral's third verse and the synth in the chorus are absolutely incredible.

>>658 A-a professional has arrived −(　´,_ゝ｀)

>>660 Aiuchi only did about three songs. Kuraki did around ten, I think. lol

Sorry for the consecutive posts. Is the bongo-like pounding in Flying's melody only on the album version?

>>663 Really!? lolol For some reason, I strongly remember “I can't stop love~.”

>>665 I only remember Koi wa Thrill..., I Can't Stop..., and the movie version of Dream×Dream. I checked, and there are only those three.

It feels as though there should have been more. That is surprising.

Koi Suri also had parapara dancing, and I Can't Stop... was used for a full ten months.

The song that introduced me to GARNET CROW was Spiral. It really blew me away.

The song that introduced me to GARNET CROW was Kimi no Omoi Egaita Yume Atsumeru HEAVEN. It really blew me away.

The song that introduced me to GARNET CROW was For South. It really blew me away.

The song that introduced me to GARNET CROW was Koufuku na Pet. It really blew me away.

It stopped being funny a while ago.

I am hooked on His Voyage. It completely blew me away.

>>673 Your ID says “Hmm... moooo!”

>>675 “(Tii-aa) Hmm... moooo~”

>... There is no space like that here, though. lol

>>665 What about START?

Come to think of it, START is one too.

I am probably the only person whose favorite GARNET CROW member is Hirohito Furui. At a ZARD live show, he was right in front of me, and I was completely captivated by his performance.

He looked so happy playing that I thought he must genuinely love music from the bottom of his heart. After I got home, I learned that he was Hirohito Furui and discovered GARNET CROW, so I decided I had to hear the music made by his band.

I appreciate the sentiment, but please sage the thread for now.

I got a returned ticket through Pia. It is the worst seat, though. lol Even the returned tickets disappeared instantly...

GARNET live tickets are platinum tickets as always. It is a third-floor seat, but getting one at all is good enough.

Seeing AZUKI Nana really turns me on!

>>676 You are pretty good at this.

That is why I told you to join the fan club ages ago.

Yurippe is truth.

Yurippe is mathematics.

If they sang His Voyage on M Station Super Live, I could die happy. You understand how I feel, right?

But if you actually died, you could not see Yurippe anymore, so I would rather not.

I only realized after posting that there is a joke along the lines of, “You understand how I feel, right?” What was it again?

Oh no... His Voyage has shot into the top ranks of my favorite songs overall, not just among GARNET songs. That has never happened before. lolololol

If a momentum score above 30 counts as “dead,” then most threads on this band board would be dead too. You people are spoiled.

That is not true. Since Yurippe is a god, there should be many, many more replies.

Yurippe is my everything.

This thread was growing at an absurd rate before. Even so, I never expected one thread to last less than three weeks.

Where did Edo Zaku go?

>>701 Because most of the posts are... I think this is still better than kitchen fans spawning one thread a week.

http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/auc?p=GARNET+CROW None of the GARNET fans are listing anything on the auction site. There is something from their indie period that I want, but nobody is selling it.

>>704 You are obviously a GARNET fan yourself.

I want shaved ice made from Yurippe's frozen white urine, topped with Nana's yellow urine (it looks very concentrated) to make lemon ice.

Maybe Pasona Live will have its first overseas appearance.

If they can get tie-up deals with shows like Sunday Japon and Bakusho Mondai no Susume, could they not do one with Ota Sori too?

Yurippe is a god.

When I am sitting around thinking, I get an inexplicably unpleasant feeling about Meru. They even put her in the manga. They have gone too far with the self-insertion, though this is a little late to say.

The deeper the author's love for GARNET, the fans' hatred for the Meru author increases a hundredfold.

It is not as though having a Meru tie-up is a serious problem. It only ruined the title track of the single.

I will devote everything to Yurippe.

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g50824385 Even the back-row seats cost this much. lol Poor people cannot afford them, meow.

>>707 I have no idea what that means.

How much will this year's fan-club tickets sell for at auction? I cannot even imagine a front-row seat in Osaka. There are only two weeks left until tomorrow, so they should arrive in the mail soon.

>>714 Why not just join the fan club properly? That price is equivalent to more than ten years of membership fees.

I think this transaction will fall through. They are all new accounts or accounts with negative feedback.

jll（☆ヮ■lll < So expensive.

I do not think the tickets will resell. The new-account bombardment is too intense. Yahoo Auctions should do something about it. Early Yurippe and present-day Yurippe are completely different, which is nice. She used to feel like glass; now she feels like pottery.

Yurippe is the best.

http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e63945479 http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d67483126

If you are going to buy on auction, wait until fan-club tickets begin circulating. Prices will fall as the date approaches. Sellers should sell early.

We will thoroughly expose illegal resales and take every criminal and civil legal measure available. GIZA is serious.

It is not good to commit a crime for Yurippe.

If GIZA really means it, then I had better resell mine quickly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIlBUlUYBbI My impression after watching this is that it is incredibly old and bizarre. lololololol They normally play standing up, completely absorbed, sometimes raising one hand and playing with the other. Here they sit expressionlessly, playing leisurely and quietly with both hands. It is creepy. lol Also, you cannot tell what Nana is doing in this song. Hirohito Furui's technique looks like piano playing, but Nana is playing too...

>>727 Because it was a music show, the instrumentalists were miming.

>>728 Is that not obvious, idiot?

>>729 You knew that and still posted this reply. lolol

Yurippe is the world.

>>727 Yurippe's hairstyle here is bulky and fluffy and does not match her clothes at all, but somehow I like it.

>>728 There are live performances on music shows too, although Garnet has never performed live on one.

You can tell even through the screen. That is impressive.

Speaking of which, not only the instrumentalists but even the vocalist is lip-syncing, right?

>>735 You cannot even tell whether it is lip-syncing or live singing? Are you an elementary-school student? It is bedtime.

You are trolling, right...? You thought this line would draw someone out. I do not think there is anyone easier to recognize as live than Yurippe.

I was planning a double bait, actually...

So what are you trying to say? lol Are you saying it is not live singing? lol

Anyway, you two should first learn how to use the word “trolling.”

Looking back at the exchange between posts 738 and 739, my reply was unbelievably stupid. I am dying laughing. lolol

I have not visited in a while, but are there too many GARNET threads now? I think this is probably the main thread. Anyway, I am relieved that those weird regular nicknames have disappeared lately.

Well, whatever happens, this direction is good.

Am I the only one who thought they were still good through the fourth album?

>>744 I have listened since the first album, but I thought they were only good through the third. I looked at the Amazon reviews and laughed at how unusually high the fifth album's ratings were.

I also think they were good through the fourth. Personally, I can put the first four albums on roughly equal footing. The individual songs on the fifth are not necessarily bad, but as an album I cannot see what is good about it.

What do you think about fewer live dates and simpler PVs?

>>745 Those must be kitchen-fan hype reviews. The fifth can be called GARNET's blemish.

That is harsh.

The fifth was Yurippe's labor of love and a record she was proud of. Calling it a blemish is too harsh.

The fifth was the first album I bought, and of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, it is the best. Maybe that is because I did not hear 1–3 in real time. The first three all sound like the same formula to me.

>>750 I do not care about how emotionally invested the creators were. The 1st through 4th were high-quality works with a strong, unified worldview, but I feel this album broke that. That is why I call it a blemish. It is not slander. I used such critical wording precisely because I like them and had expectations.

People who call the fifth a blemish are just as embarrassing as mindless kitchen fans: they force their opinion on others without realizing it.

Still, I should tone down replies such as “it can be called a blemish” and “kitchen reviews.” I admit that.

Shit.

There are a few good songs on the fifth, too... But people who discovered them through the fifth or the Meru tie-up songs tend not to rate the earlier albums highly.

Once the sixth comes out, the albums before the fifth will probably all be considered classics.

>>744 Strongly agree. Even as someone who loves the first four albums, I was terribly disappointed by the fifth. The moment I heard the opening of the first track, I knew, “Oh no, this is not good.” This was no longer the GARNET I liked; GARNET was finished. As soon as the verse began, I hit stop and sold it to Book Off.

That is remarkably easy to understand.

I probably wrote that because I prefer a heavier sound. By the way, everyone, let us pray that they get on M Station Super Live!

If you can let go of your fixed preconceptions... Nana is already hinting at how the fifth should be judged.

This is a complete mess... orz. The thread has suffered because someone keeps force-feeding it duplicate posts.

>>788 Indeed.

Where are the tickets? Σ(ﾟДﾟ；≡；ﾟДﾟ)

Let us pray that they get on M Station Super Live!

Come on, tickets. I want to see the seat numbers.

>>791 They could not even appear on the regular broadcast, so I want them to appear again.

Just because you do not like it, you do not have to keep calling it a terrible work.

Let me interrupt the thread's current flow for a moment. [A large celebratory ASCII-art display follows.]

And then Marginal Man or Himawari no Iro.

The longing is so intense, so intense, so intense.

M Station Super Live is a dream within a dream. Even their appearance with Spiral felt like a miracle at the time.

In the end, Maboroshi still could not surpass Eden. If they appeared on a TV show such as M Station, maybe it could have.

And an album is coming out soon, too.

SPER?

Maboroshi was a terrible choice for a single. Airing it after the program ended, with only two weeks left until the album release, was reckless. They might as well have made it a double A-side with Eden.

>>802 Why not make it a triple A-side? “Maboroshi / Yume Hanabi / Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de,” released 2006.09.06. 01 Maboroshi 02 Yume Hanabi 03 Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de 04–06 Instrumental versions.

>>803 Would that not make them look like some random manufactured idol project? There is no business benefit either, so I think three A-sides are a bad idea.

Then: “Yume Hanabi / Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de,” released 2006.08.23, with instrumental versions; and “Maboroshi,” released 2006.09.13, with “Holy ground 〜just like a ‘dejavu’ arr.〜” and an instrumental version.

Kids are annoying.

The stupid grown-up has arrived. (lol)

>>805 The order around there does not really matter, though.

Why keep nitpicking about something that is already over?

Then bring out some new material. Or rather, please do. If there is nothing new, all we can do is dig up old subjects.

Ah.

Yurippe went on a promotional tour, but sales still did not increase. Her personal charm has faded too.

Not many people listen to the radio anyway. Even if their phones have that function, they probably would not use it.

http://music5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1155204694/432-435 http://music5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1155204694/438-440 http://music5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1155204694/443- I do not even know what to say about how this is developing.

The fan-club ticket arrived. Second floor... orz. I had been looking forward to it so much, and it is the second floor... I am really depressed.

You should feel happy just to be able to go.

>>814 What is there to say? There is not a single song on the fifth that deserves a ten.

Still, songs like Haru Matsu... and WEEKEND are polished enough that a perfect score would not be excessive, compared with the other tracks.

>>814 It feels a little awkward. >>818 Agreed. Maboroshi could also get a perfect score if you mean the single version.

Hey, hey, hey! Where are my tickets?! (^ω^)

>>814 Ah... that is pitiful. Anyway, reviews are not something to do on a message board. There are always idiots who make irrelevant comments like “The scores are too high” and “The fanboys are working hard.” (＾＾)

Oh, Hoimin, long time no see. Are you going to Garnet's live show?

>>821 >>822 Thanks for the self-conversation.

>>822 Hello. Well, I managed to get a ticket, so this will be my first time attending. Please be kind to me. (＾＾) >>823 If you keep nitpicking over such details, I will punch you. (＾＾)

What the hell is “gen-gotsu”? lol

It must be tough when you cannot change your connection. You can only do such obvious self-conversations by crossing the date boundary or using a phone.

Someone should shout “Hoimin!” and post a picture of whoever turns around.

Whenever I encounter Yurippe, I feel my soul being purified.

This self-conversing guy is really ugly. His face must be unbelievably ugly too. lolol

What an ugly little civil servant.

Everyone is ugly compared with Yurippe.

>>215 If it is the second floor of the Koseinenkin Hall, that is actually pretty good.

I would rather sit in the front of the second floor than at the back of the first.

My ID is DQN.

>>833 The front of the second floor is obviously farther forward than the back of the first.

I love and respect Yurippe.

So I was accused of talking to myself. (＾＾) Honestly, this place has either been disrupted lately or simply has no topics. Do not get so worked up. We are all grown adults (including unemployed social failures), so learn to be more tolerant, like me. (＾＾)

Let us think of ways to stop this thread from deteriorating further.

Listening to Twilight Valley at least twice a day makes me realize once again how good GARNET is.

I keep changing the members around and using them as masturbation material.

Try not to casually use words like “god” and “squid song” in your reviews. It only exposes your limited vocabulary. I was disappointed reading the old posts. We should graduate from elementary-school-level writing like “Yesterday I went to play. It was fun.” (＾＾)

There are so many songs that grow on you.

There are so many god-tier songs.

There are no “growers.” Kurige is the god-tier one. The fifth is a terrible album.

Kurige... honestly, it is pretty questionable.

An ugly civil servant snickering while trolling.

Large celebratory ASCII art interrupts the thread, declaring “Yippee!” and saying that Yurippe captured post 847; the next replies will continue with GARNET quality.

Hey, is Yurippe actually “Pe Yuri”? Is that why it became “Tye~”?

Are the people who keep calling the fifth a terrible album all the same person? lolol

I am sounding the alarm for this thread's crisis. Do not interpret it with the simplistic idea of “trolling.” You idiots who keep saying “trolling” should activate your inadequate brains and think properly. (＾＾) lol

It is almost midnight.

Another idiot is flooding the thread with duplicate posts... orz

Whatever. Let us talk about something dirty.

>850 (＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾)(＾＾) lol

Wow, it really is full of songs that grow on you and god-tier songs.

Do not engage with that idiot fixed-ID poster. lol

http://www.bloger.com.cn/user5/167046/upload/526706799.jpg

Can you no longer buy tickets?

Probably not. But plenty should appear on Yahoo Auctions.

Stop making duplicate threads.

No. I will keep making duplicate threads today so everyone knows that GARNET is the best music.

>>855 Strongly agree. As someone awed by the run of god-tier albums from the 1st through 4th, I think the 5th is god-tier among god-tier. Especially Marginal Man—the way it grows on you has reached the realm of the divine. That is a god-tier song. Anywhere, Rusty Rail, and Himawari no Iro are also great growers. The fifth is an album of growing classics. Yurippe's divine compositions, Nana's divine lyrics, Osaan's divine arrangements, Hitoshi Okamoto's divine guitar... Every aspect shows that GARNET is a band of creator-gods.

Every song really is a god-tier song. lololololol [“god” repeated many times]

Are you serious? Take it outside?

Seriously, take it outside.

I am the person from last night. The fifth is a magnificently terrible album.

Even if you grandly call yourself “the person from last night,” nobody knows who you are.

Probably some random anti-fan posting.

The decline of sensitivity.

The word “god” exists solely for Yurippe.

>>858 http://openuser.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/user/feeling_g_c? They are reselling tickets. This person is incredibly irritating, clearly buying tickets solely to resell them.

And they kept only the best ticket, first floor, row E, for themselves. The others are listed in pairs, but this one is a single ticket. lol

The ticket clearly says “resale for profit prohibited.” Did this person perhaps join the fan club several times using family members' names? Seriously, go die.

Invalidate that ticket.

I guess we can only hope to get lucky with a returned ticket.

More than that, I hope someone buys it, spots him at the venue, and posts his face.

Do not forget to post a picture of that happi-coat guy too.

Please help report yngiza for auctioning recorded program videos. Listings include a GARNET CROW special and a Miho Komatsu PV/TV-spot DVD, along with links to the seller and the Yahoo report form.

>>878 They are still doing this? It would be faster to report them directly to GIZA than to post it here.

Yurippe's beauty is criminal.

I had kept my distance since her singing style became strange, but I like this album. It has the youthful tone from their debut. Also, I think Eden's chorus sounds a lot like Nanase Aikawa's SWEET EMOTION.

This is my first GARNET CROW live. I live in Tokyo but I am going all the way to Osaka. I am going alone. I am nervous. (´・ω・｀)

I want to go to a live show for the first time, so I planned to buy a ticket at auction. But I was shocked by how high the prices are. Are they usually this expensive? Even the back of the second floor...

It is probably the highest ever, though I did not check the prices. Usually they are around face value, but the number of performances is also the lowest ever. lol

>>882 Why go all the way to Osaka? Lots of people go alone, so do not worry—well, that is “shinpai gomu you.” There are more idiots jumping around now, though, so if you are near the front, resign yourself to it. lol >>883 Maybe supply is low because the fan-club tickets have not reached every region yet. Hopefully prices will fall.

The phrase “shinpai gomu you” jumped out at me, and I thought they were talking about condoms. I am hopeless.

There are people who come alone, so do not worry. It converts directly if you read it normally. lol

>>884-885 That is very helpful. Thanks. m(__)m

>>883 I just checked, and aside from the front rows on the first floor, are they not all face value or less? Will prices rise as the date approaches?

Fan-club tickets are beginning to circulate, so seats with poor conditions will fall in price.

My fan-club allocation came back as the last row of the second floor—the worst. I am even coming from Fukuoka, so this is really discouraging.

The Tokyo fan-club allocation tickets have not arrived yet, right?

At this week's GANE NIGHT I will tell manager Mr. Saita that resales like this are rampant. I will not tolerate behavior that tramples on the feelings of people who genuinely love the music. I will not tolerate either buyers or sellers. I will demand that the relevant seats be canceled and resold. It is the same principle by which prostitution and buying sex are condemned.

Now only the tracks hold the pieces of an unsolved love puzzle. I am still waiting for the train; I do not want to drown in tenderness again.

Super Live is ruined... OTLOTKOTLOTL

AZUKI Nana's solo two-day, one-night trip to a run-down hotel. I want to make a project like that and show a completely different side of the usually cool Nana.

>>895 Performers include aiko, Aqua Timez, Ayaka, Arashi, Angela Aki, Ikimonogakari, Yuna Ito, EXILE, Ai Otsuka, ORANGE RANGE, KAT-TUN, KinKi Kids, GLAY, Kumi Koda, Kobukuro, SEAMO, Shonan no Kaze, SukimaSwitch, Tackey & Tsubasa, DJ OZMA, Aoi Teshima, TOKIO, Mika Nakashima, B'z, V6, BoA, Porno Graffitti, Mr. Children, mihimaru GT, Tomohisa Yamashita, RIP SLYME, and Remioromen. They had GARNET sing a theme for their own station's drama, and yet this...

ASCII art of a character and “null pointer.”

Yurippe, I love you.

>>893 They are not children; they know this without being told. GIZA—and most of the industry—clearly follows a policy of knowingly leaving it alone. If you truly cannot accept that, then even if ticket prices soar, propose a system that manages every purchaser, greatly increase the staff, enforce identity checks, and collect signatures from a substantial number of fan-club members. Charging ahead on emotion and preaching morality, as you do, is worse than scalpers because it only makes the issue less clear.

I grabbed post 900 for Yurippe.

The person actually carrying out the resales has finally appeared. lol Evil will be destroyed, amen.

Why Teshima Aoi, of all people...? Ghibli-style songs have more charm when they stay off television—in other words, they feel more like film songs. GARNET should have replaced her. I even imagined that they might sing Himawari...

Maboroshi ranked well, but its sales were low because it was released too soon after the previous one. Nothing could be done. Even Spiral, which rode some momentum at the time, had an atmosphere that did not quite fit.

1. supernova 2. Menuet 3. Maboroshi

Is “not fitting in” not simply because all the other Japanese pop music is garbage?

Spiral does not lose out even when compared with existing J-pop. It is not good to trash other artists.

>>903 It is common sense that a band only at GARNET's level could not sing an album track on a television special live show.

Only Yurippe can fill me.

Kaze to RAINBOW and Hana no Kisetsu sound very similar.

Please help report yngiza for profiting from selling recorded programs. The listings include a GARNET CROW special, a Miho Komatsu PV/TV-spot DVD, the seller link, and the Yahoo auction report form.

Has everyone already received their tickets?! Mine have not arrived yet. Is that bad?

>>907 No, Spiral is overwhelmingly the only solid song.

>>913 You only think that because you are a fan... It is awkward to watch someone say that their favorite artist's songs are overwhelmingly the best.

When discussing whether a song is good or bad, at least briefly explain why. That is basic adult etiquette.

Saying “overwhelmingly the best” without giving a reason will start an argument, so do not do that. And no matter how good GARNET's songs are, do not trash other artists.

GARNET is overwhelmingly better; other artists cannot compare.

>>915 Shokotan is annoying.

>>917 Thanks for the anti-fan performance.

I only just learned about the song Sayonara to Tatta Hitokoto de. lol What? This masterpiece? It makes me want to cry. lol

It really does make you want to cry, but what exactly is so funny that you are laughing this much?

Hint: >>919

I bet they have not even watched or listened to the compilation or DVD.

>>921 Sorry. lol It is just a habit. lol

At least make it sound more VIP-board-like: “Sorry lololololololol, it is just a habit lolololololololololololololololol.”

Around what year did Hitoshi Okamoto start working at Being?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnJNQWlSRag Does the person playing guitar from about 1:30 in this video look like Hitoshi Okamoto? Surely not, though. lol

>>927 The degree of that afro really does resemble Mochi. Anyway: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B2%A1%E6%9C%AC%E4%BB%81%E5%BF%97

ASCII art of a family talking about wrestling and shaking a pulp-orange drink before drinking it.

Please, someone save the Conan opening! GARNET CROW!!! Yuri-sama, Nana-sama, and divine-handed Hirohito Furui!

At this point, the Conan side almost seems better.

>>930 That rap is amazing. lol The rest is pretty ordinary, though. Still, the live thread is lively, which is good. I know this is late, but Marginal Man is painful. I thought the melody was boring and never listened closely, but when I listened while reading the lyrics, that AA came to mind and I almost cried.

ASCII art depicting Dark Nakajima appearing after Katuso stole Hanazawa-san, ending with “Isono, let's play baseball.”

I see! For “MARGINAL MAN,” what if the lyrics were by Moku and the composition by Izumi Sakai?

GARNET fans, come over here: http://ex17.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/news4vip/1164616491/

>>927 Since he is playing bass, I do not think so.

Mochi can play bass too.

>>927 For a moment you think, “Oh!?” but the face is completely different.

Damn it, my university scheduled an admissions briefing for December 6. I had finally thought I would get to see Yurippe, Nana-sama, the divine-handed Hirohito Furui, and Okamocchi live, but this happened. I really want to hear Marginal, Kakurenbo, and whatever that Rail song was.

Good morning. Two days until GARNET Night.

I hope Yurippe can be happy.

There are so few people here.

Yurippe only ever makes me feel moved.

The official site is so slow to update. I wish it would update at least once a week. Did anyone win the collaboration project? The results should have arrived by now, right?

>>944 Because this thread is unusually sluggish.

Are the live goods still not out? (　ﾟДﾟ)ｙ−~~

Indeed they are not. Too slow.

Large ASCII art of a character standing beneath a huge structure.

I dreamed that Nana died. It seemed she disappeared and then drowned... I almost cried. I should not read the evening paper before bed. lol

The live merchandise announcement is taking forever.

They do not need to sell merchandise. The scalper fans will buy it all anyway.

I love Yurippe.

>>953 I think those people make up only about one percent. If they annoy you, just ignore them. Unlike with tickets, we are not directly harmed here. Anyway, please make the next thread.

It is Mochi Night today, yet the thread is so quiet...

What should we do about the next thread? Should we use a duplicate thread for now? It will not be deleted anyway, and a new thread will probably start an argument too. Give us your opinions.

The thread is about to end, so I still want to say this. Those who understand will understand. It is fine to keep supporting Yurippe by saying “Yurippe, Yurippe,” but do not forget Mami.
