Offal.

Idol-style three-version sales incoming━━━ヽ(ヽ(ﾟヽ(ﾟ∀ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ∀ﾟ)ﾉﾟ)ﾉ)ﾉ━━━!!!!

So I'm gonna have to buy two copies of the same CD...

>>1 Thanks for the thread.

>>1 Namida no Yesterday-otsu"ー

Otsu!

Otsu!

>>1 Otsulocks

Release March 1-otsu!

I'm buying all three! (Birthday: June 12, 17 years old)

>>11 Mochi, nice age-fakingｗｗ

How's Yurippe gonna promote it? Is she gonna tell us to buy two copies of the same CD?

I'm happy just thinking about getting to see all three of Yurippe's covers at once...

Did you forget Nakamura's title?

>>986 Track list?

>>16 It's listed as the track list on the Shinseido site.

18ii Yuichiro

DVD contents: PVs for "風とRAINBOW," "涙のイエスタデー," and "もう一度笑って" Will the "もう一度笑って" PV be the full version?

>>19 Where'd you hear that?

>>20 http://www.shinseido.co.jp/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Catalog.woa/wa/detail?r=GZCA-5125

>>21 Oh, thanks!

The contents are kinda lame, the regular edition's enough for me.

Please buy two copies of the same CD.

If the cover art's different, you're buying all three, right?

>>25 If I got three different posters, I'd buy three.

Hmm, buying it just for "もう一度笑って"...

If you spend over a certain amount at the concert venue, you get a poster. So just buy one normally, then pick up the others at the show.

Huh? Only three PVs? Isn't that kinda few? If they wanna boost sales, it'd be nice if they didn't just change the covers, but also went on nationwide radio again or did some promo appearances~ Guess that's not happening~

How many songs will be on the live version?

>>29 Yurippe and Nana used to pop up on the radio now and then. They're probably not gonna do TV appearances for an album, either.

As a Marginal Man fan, I'm curious if "Mr. Holiday" is gonna be story-like.

"もう一度笑って" is the one they mentioned by name on the radio, right? Looking forward to it.

PLEASE SMILE AGAIN

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Sorry I'm late. The 2007 releases popularity ranking is in. 1. 廻り道 2. 世界はまわると言うけれど 3. 一番素敵だった日 4. 彼方まで光を 5. 涙のイエスタデー 6. この手を伸ばせば 7. GO FOR IT 8. 風とrainbow 9. Argentina

>>36 >Sorry I'm late. >The 2007 releases popularity ranking is in. >2. 世界はまわると言うけれど >5. 涙のイエスタデー > 8. 風とrainbow >9. Argentina These are the only ones I like... I'm not into この手を伸ばせば.

Yuri-san really is beautiful...

Are there a lot of people who aren't into この手を伸ばせば?

>>38 Nice ID. GCaN GARNET CROW azukI NANA As a commemorative gift, how about Yurippe's handwritten autograph?

廻り道 was miles better than the rest. It really moved me.

この手を伸ばせば and 廻り道 are both traumatic for me. They remind me of my ex...

When do you think the next live's gonna be?

>>39 5. 涙のイエスタデー 6. この手を伸ばせば 8. 風とrainbow I'm not into この手を伸ばせば's style. It's way over-the-top and catchy, and that's a problem.

廻り道 has been my favorite of their recent stuff, too.

>>43 Going by the usual pattern, probably mid-to-late May. But ZARD has a string of lives then, so they might squeeze it in early May, or it'll probably be in the hot weather after late June. Anyway, Yurippe's listed first in the member intro on the official ZARD live site (ahead of Hayama). Maybe Yurippe appearing at the memorial live is mostly to promote Gane.

But I really like 風とレインボー´･ω･`

Huh?

>>47 Me too. Especially the piano.

>>36 7. GO FOR IT It ranked surprisingly low. Got blown out by 一番素敵だった日, huh. By the way, where'd you get the info?

I'm not into この手, either— >It's way over-the-top and catchy, and that's a problem. That's exactly it. さよならとたった一言で is the same for me, so I don't like that one either—

I can get totally absorbed in この手を伸ばせば, just bliss out to it. But only when I'm feeling hyped and in good shapeｗ

Maybe I'm lucky that I can think any song is good. Is that what they call the power of being oblivious?ｗ

廻り道 really got me. Guess there's a masterpiece hiding behind the double A-sideｗ

I don't like この手を伸ばせば either, but I absolutely love さよならとたった一言で. この手を伸ばせば has gotta have something besides being over-the-top and catchy.

I've only listened to この手を伸ばせば about three times.

I feel like a lot of GARNET CROW fans—especially Yurippe fans—are also Natsuki Kato fans.

In この手を伸ばせば, I love the part just past the four-minute mark where Yurippe gives this cute little "Hey!" shout. Makes me glad I listened to itｗ

>>57 I really like Natsuki Katoｗ But what does she have in common with Yurippe?

>>58 Totally agree! There are "yeah"s and "hey"s in other songs too, but hearing that just makes my heart go dokyun.

I like Natsuki Kato too.

Her face and vibe aren't even similar.

>>57 What made you think that? I like her too.

I just started listening to GARNET CROW recently. What does "La La tu lu Rah Ta" in クリスタルゲージ mean?

Don't think. Feel it.

Was there some meaning to it? I think they said something about it in an interview...

I vaguely remember hearing it had something to do with Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix.

>>36 Figures it was 廻り道. I like it too. Runner-up for me is 彼方まで光を.

>>47 Yamamoto "KID" Norifumi, otsu. >>57 You talking about me?

Seriously, GIZA's such total shitｗｗｗ Only three PVs on the DVD? They're gotta be kidding! When you think about how Hamasaki gets full PVs for every track, even avex is better! I'm fine with just the regular edition.

Whoa, ¥7,000 for Gane as it is now is rough!! Yeah, shadier sales tactics really do go hand in hand with the music, huh~

>>57 How'd you come to that conclusion? I'm one of them too, but you nailed it and freaked me out.

Ah, sorry for bumping.

Why are there so many Natsuki Kato fans? I don't even know who she isｗ

>>57 Yeah, I like her too. Funny, huh...

It's not even about liking her—I'm a fan just because we're from the same place.

I don't particularly like Natsuki Kato, but she's from Yurihonjo City. Is that why? ...Nah, never mind. Quoting her official site: "Plain but cool, cute to other women, and a frank, no-nonsense type." In a way, that might be pretty close to Yurippe's image. For Yurippe, this is just my personal take, but I love how she's a little dark and cool, cute most of the time, and has a bit of an S side.

Oh crap, I'm from Akita, lived in Kansai for a while, and now I'm in Tokyo.

What are you, a rolling stone?

713 Name: 陽気な名無しさん sage Date: 2008/01/26(土) 11:21:38 ID:wfuT74sH0 Okamoto doesn't have any especially difficult phrases or particularly improvisational riff ideas, but his unobtrusive, careful playing is great. It's understated, and that's what makes it good. He gets a great sound on the recordings, too. Even with distortion, it's really smooth and restrained, and suits Gane's guitar sound perfectly. Way better than Watanuki, who's awful and can't keep a steady beat but still tries to hog the spotlight. 721 Name: 陽気な名無しさん sage Date: 2008/01/26(土) 16:35:04 ID:wfuT74sH0 Rock flavor is basically shit. Doesn't matter if Hayama does it or Oga does it—it's all shit, seriously. It just doesn't suit Gane at all. 723 Name: 陽気な名無しさん sage Date: 2008/01/26(土) 18:33:38 ID:wfuT74sH0 You idiot, Gane isn't suited to guitar-driven arrangements in the first place. What's the point of arguing whether Oga or Hayama's shit? Whoever does it, it's the same. Anyway, Hayama and Oga are completely unnecessary for Gane's style. 726 Name: 陽気な名無しさん sage Date: 2008/01/26(土) 18:42:10 ID:wfuT74sH0 Okamoto's enough, right? It's not like they need to bring in Oga. Sure, he's played on some stuff, but did the early style really need Oga's guitar?ｗ That's what I mean—Hayama and Oga don't belong in this style. 728 Name: 陽気な名無しさん sage Date: 2008/01/26(土) 19:21:40 ID:wfuT74sH0 Hayama and Oga can go play flashy backing parts and bends somewhere else. Gane only needs the understated Okamoto.

In Pass Para, Mochi said he struggled with the gut-string guitar, and with the riff on 一番素敵だった日. Those comments really don't sound like something you'd expect from a studio musician...

Natsuki Kato's great, huh... I wanna be sandwiched between Yurippe and Natsuki...

You can be sandwiched between Mochi and the old guy instead.

You'd be happy with Mochi and the old guy tooｗ

Yuri Nakamura S-ish beauty, doesn't act cutesy, Yurippe (Nana), otaku-ish (music) Natsuki Kato S-ish beauty, doesn't act cutesy, Yurippe (Shokotan), otaku-ish (anime) You guys aren't into lolis, right?ｗ

>>85 Mochi's the one who's into lolis, after all.

Mr. Oga?

What's an automaton? http://live23.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/liveetv/1201340003/

But Natsuki Kato's profile is weirdly Nana-like: Leo, AB blood type, 168 cm, cosplay, early riser, skiing, likes women (?)

Shit threadｗ

Saida Sai's diary It's easier to write something malicious January 26, 2008, 23:07 I'll write this down, if only for my own records. Basically, I want to write about the good things in artists. Honestly, I'd rather write pieces so glowing people could call them puff pieces. But writing something malicious that anyone can see is malicious is actually easier for a writer. Criticism, attacks, slander—just jotting those things down on a whim can hurt someone. But apart from that, there are times you have to write something malicious even if it turns the readers' ill will toward you. Unfortunately, if I'm going to write to that extent, I'm prepared for that too. And that's fine; there's no need for ordinary people to understand it. To put it simply: From now on, Saida Sai won't go easy on people who don't play fair. I won't accept staff who can't put themselves in the audience's shoes. I don't need selfish artists who don't understand how hard the staff work. I don't need fans who leave artists isolated, either. If I ever start telling the general public nothing but the truth, like a journalist, I think that could become a much bigger problem... After all, I've got 25 years' worth of stuff piled up... Even so, I still want to go through life looking only at the good side of artists. Even though people change as the years go by... (ー＿ー) http://mixi.jp/view_diary.pl?id=695771304&owner_id=2343723

I get the feeling a lot of GARNET CROW fans—especially Mochi fans—are also fans of Taka Kato.

So the handful of Okamoto fans are Taka Kato fans? What's the connection?

48 days till Furui leaves the band.

Looks like GARNET CROW might do the theme song for the Conan movie. There weren't any unreleased songs on ZARD's tour. Maybe B'z is the one to watch.

B'z just did that with ゆるぎないものひとつ not too long ago, though.

I'm into Natsuki Kato, Erika Toda, and Yui Ichikawa.

Seems like piano(?) is the focus of this Conan movie, so maybe Miguel-san could arrange the theme song? The old guy'd be great too, of course, but it's been a while—I wanna hear him again.

>>81 Maybe it's just not a style of playing he's used to. Even studio musicians have things they're good and bad at.

I think the hard part wasn't the difficulty of playing it, but coming up with the phrases.

The world's five greatest guitarists: Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Hitoshi Okamoto

GARNET CROW new album! "Locks" 1. 最後の離島 2. 世界はまわると言うけれど 3. 風とRAINBOW 4. doubt 5. この手を伸ばせば 6. midnight circus 7. 裸足のまま走る大地 8. MAKE ME FREE, MAKE ME MAD 9. 涙のイエスタデー 10. もう一度笑ってほしい 11. Mr.Holiday On sale March 12: GZCA-5124, GZCA-5125, GZCA-5126

I thought he just wasn't good with acoustic guitar in general. Oga played acoustic on the first album, and Yurippe said at the Twilight Valley live that Okamocchi was relieved when まぼろし ended.

>>102 Is this legit?

>>102 Where'd you get this? >裸足のまま走る大地 Isn't that a lame title?ｗ

>>102 LOVE IS A BIRD is missing. Also, isn't it もう一度笑って, not もう一度笑ってほしい?

>>105 I bet Azuki-san runs barefoot across the earth.

>>100 That's part of playing, too, though.

>>91 Classic Saida—so damn cringe.

Breakup concert footage 約束の場所 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU-lU9fJC-8&NR=1 遠影 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRg7D7L9lvs My Gift to You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDmdRsVntyM&NR=1 November 7, Hikone City Culture Plaza / 148 seats Man, hardly anyone showed upｗｗ CHEMISTRY (・ー・) is done for.

I wanna freeze Yuri's white pee into shaved ice, then pour Nana's yellow pee over it and eat it as lemon ice.

Is it just me, or is the official site not loading? It tells me to update Flash Player, but I've already got the latest version.

>>112 It works fine for me.

What do you think 最後の離島 is gonna be like? Is it a remote island, or someone leaving an island? For some reason it makes me think of blue bird. I'm a newbie, so this is my first time waiting for an album in real time. I'm so excited.

>>102 Seeing a list like this gets me hyped. I love Please, Forgive Me, so I'm looking forward to MAKE ME FREE, MAKE ME MAD.

>>106 Where'd you hear about LOVE IS A BIRD?

Good morning, I said!

>>58 She says it before the chorus in ブルーの森 too, right? Like I said before, that voice at the end of 僕らだけの未来's chorus gets me all worked up. Hearing it really makes me realize Yurippe's a grown woman.

She's not just grown—she's already in her thirties.

>>118 You mean that "haa" (looks kinda lame when you write it out...)? Yeah, it's great~

>>117 Morning, Yurippe!

People looking at this thread are also looking at: [Acoustic guitar] Advice before buying an acoustic guitar 21 Mochi's influence is something elseｗ

For some reason, my image of "Mr. Holiday" overlaps with "社員 on the beach." Or is it just me?

>>123 Why Porno Graffittiｗｗ

>>123 If anything, it's more like Geronimo.

There used to be a choir song called "Mr. Morning."

The official discography still hasn't been updatedｗ How long are they gonna keep 世界はまわると言うけれど as the phantom single?

I used to like Porno Graffitti, but now I'm all about GARNET.

Nana's handwritten autograph is up for sale on Yahoo Auctions ��(￣口￣)

>>116 I saw it on Mixi.

>>129 Anyone could write something like that if they copied it. There's no proof she actually wrote it, so it's sketchy.

>>131 But if it was faked, why make it Nana's?

That's exactly what the seller's counting on.

>>133 I see. Feels like if you ran into Yurippe on the street and said hi, she'd be like, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry right now."

If it were real, would someone really start the bidding at 3,000 yen? If you were such a big fan you'd go up and talk to her, I don't think you'd let it go even for 30,000. Looking at their past sales, they've also sold two autographs related to Mai Kuraki. Can you really get Mai Kuraki's autograph that easily?

Suspicious!

>>135 Mai Kuraki's are easy to get. They were handing them out at her fan event the other day. You can get one waiting outside, too.

>>135 Maybe they're not that big a fan? Maybe they set it at 3,000 yen because of her name recognition.

>>138 You mean they had her sign it just to sell it? Poor Nana-sama(´・ω・｀) ...Though she doesn't seem like she'd care.

I wouldn't sell it if it were me...

Yurippe, y'know... She's beautiful, huh.

Nana-sama, y'know... She's so damn handsome. I really like Nana-sama. Does that mean I have the "Aah!" kind of vibe?

Sorry, I'm a newbie. What's "Aah!"?

>>143 Your first time here, huh? Relax.

>>142 You're not seriously agonizing over it, are youｗ But yeah, she is handsomeｗ

>>143 Just stay the way you are, pure and innocent.

>>144 No, that reply's not right. Getting blocked has me going through withdrawal...

>>147 Men need guts! Try anything and everything!

>>148 Wanna do it?

Somehow this conversation's turned into something Nana-sama would enjoy.

>>139 Doesn't seem like they even understand the value of an autograph.

Hey, you guys, this is the main thread. Take it to Pink, the pink board.

That said, a yuri thread would be off-topic too.

Is Nana really that cool? She's always all over Yurippe, acts bored on the radio without reading the room, and talks about herself. I don't think a genuinely cool person would do that stuff. That magazine comment about "not liking female artists' voices," too— I'd get it if Nana only wrote lyrics for Gane, but she doesn't seem to think about how female artists must feel getting lyrics from a writer who says she hates her own voice. It's not "free-spirited"; she's just got middle-school syndrome or is a kid. I like Gane and I'm not a hater, but honestly, I can't stand this vibe of "Nana-sama's a weirdo, so she can get away with anything."

Exactly. The ones at fault are Nana fans making up their own fantasies.

>>154 Isn't "cool" mostly about how she looks, though...??

>>154 That's just because she doesn't fit your idea of cool. I don't think the people calling her cool are taking it that seriously. Probably just that she looks cool, or that she speaks her mind → has a breezy attitude → she's cool. Something like that.

>>154 Calling her cool is half a joke and half about her looksｗ Sorry for the long post. >Always all over Yurippe—I think Yurippe's the one who touches her more, like holding hands. >Acts bored on the radio without reading the room—fair enough. >Talks about herself—does she really do that much? If anything, the problem is she won't answer even when askedｗ >That magazine comment about "not liking female artists' voices" She probably wasn't expecting to write lyrics for Saegusa back then, and it was just a matter of personal taste, not like she was deliberately going after anyone, so it didn't really bother me... But when I hear Mochi say "That's rude" during the Hello! Project commotion, it makes me think she has a proper side to her too. Well, it's not that she gets a free pass just because she's a weirdo— I guess it's just that I (and everyone else who lets her off the hook) like Nana-san. If Nana-san started giving textbook-perfect answers, I might stop being a fan.

If Nana-san were just some totally "normal" woman who talked about being in love all the time, I wouldn't be this much of a fan either, no matter how good-looking she was.

Sorry for the double post. >Talking about herself What does that mean?

You guys are taking the bait way too hardｗ

It's for Nana-san, so I was happy to bite...

One thing's clear: ID:OZgAvJF/0 is creepy.

>>118 Her "hey" in ブルーの森 is cute. I wanna shout along with Yurippe again at a live. And "saikurin yeah!" too.

When's the next fan-club newsletter coming? February?

Yurippe~

If you mess up "Locks," it sounds like "sex." What if someone says it wrong?!

Someone's got my computer right now, so sorry, replying from my phone. >>158 As for the female artists thing, she came in as a lyricist, so I think that was totally predictable. She couldn't exactly say, "Let me only write lyrics for male artists." It's not so much talking about herself as, like that salmon story— she'll keep going on about some old topic on her own terms, even when it has nothing to do with the main conversation. Of course, I get that some people think that's part of her charm, but there are so many fawning opinions that I wondered what it looks like objectively. At her age, it seems like she's desperate to show off, "I'm so weird!"

Well, she admits herself that blurting out irresponsible stuff without thinking it through is one of her flaws.

Sorry, one more thing. Even if she wasn't deliberately taking a shot at anyone with that magazine comment, she could've known other artists might read it. "I wonder what AZUKI, who wrote my lyrics, is like?" → checks the magazine → "...So she hates my voice too..." Wouldn't that be pretty sad?

I dunno if being too honest is a good thing, but I doubt the people around her care that much. On GT, Nana took a personality test and got "optimistic; even when you mess up, people forgive you with a laugh." Yurippe seemed to agree with the resultｗ

Are Yurippe and Nana-sama dating? Just imagining it gets me all moeｗ

>>172 Take it to the yuri thread, the yuri thread.

>>170 First off, 男前 primarily means handsome, good-looking. That's how most dictionaries define it, right? Saying she doesn't like female artists' voices would be bad if she singled someone out, but she didn't, and it hasn't become an issue. Maybe she said it jokingly. Don't be so sensitive—go to sleep. Nana-sama's handsome.

>>172 The theory that Nana's got a one-sided crush.

>>173 Heard this was the yuri thread, so I came flying over from the local pride board.

>>175 That's so moe~

>>167 Don't worry. Yurippe seems surprisingly clueless about sex, so she probably wouldn't even think of the word "sex".

>>168 >>170 Yeah, she might be a bit thoughtless. What we ordinary folks say about disliking someone's voice or saying they can't sing doesn't carry the same weight as when she says it. Like >>169 said, maybe everyone knows that and just doesn't bring it upｗ Her not reading the room is one of those things that's both a flaw and part of her charm. I guess I like her because she's interesting, on balance. But if she were deliberately trying to act weird, wouldn't she be way too weird for that? If it were all fake-cutesy, I might be put off too.

>>174 I wasn't really talking about whether she's handsome; I was just criticizing Nana's words and actions getting blindly praised. And I don't think her face is particularly masculine, either; I think she has a cute, feminine face. As for her voice, sure, it may not turn into a big problem, but the only people who'd be happy to hear her openly say "I hate it" in a public magazine are the blind Nana fanboys.

Maybe Nana's actually totally normal, and we're just making assumptions about her. She's human—of course she cries and screams, laughs till she rolls on the floor, and talks shit about people too. Maybe it's just the fans building up this "she's Nana, lol, she's a weirdo" image. Or maybe she just hasn't fully grown up yet?

Didn't refresh, so I hadn't seen >>179.

I don't think Nana's unusual tastes are something she's deliberately putting on. But desperately insisting on them no matter the time or place is something a middle-schooler or a kid would do.

She probably just wanted to praise Yurippe's voice and said it without thinking. I don't think she meant any harm. She's just a little dumb.

>>181 I can totally picture her laughing till she's rolling on the floorｗ

>>183 Has she actually gone out of her way to insist on anything?

>>186 That's exactly what the "I hate it" comment was.

>>187 Saying "I don't like high-pitched voices" isn't especially weird, is it? It's not like it's >desperately insisting on them no matter the time or place >something a middle-schooler or a kid would do. Anyway, it's true she doesn't think things through.

>>183 Yeah, maybe she's a little clueless. Sorry, I'm kind of a blind fan, so I take "kid" as her having grown up without losing that childlike side. She might be annoying if she were around me, but luckily she's not... >>185 Trueｗ

>>187 (´･ω･`) Okay, I get it now.

The yuri talk here is obviously a joke, c'mon...

>>188 She said, "I don't like female artists' voices, haha." And there are plenty of artists with high-pitched voices, and plenty of people who like them. It's not about whether that's weird or not; it's childish to say it publicly without thinking about how the people reading it will feel. Well, since even Yurippe's fan says to drop it, I'll leave it there. No matter what people say, if you like Nana-san, that's all that matters.

>>192 >"I don't like female artists' voices, haha." >It's childish to say it publicly without thinking about how the people reading it will feel. If she said that after thinking about how the readers would feel, then she's one gutsy lyricist. Honestly, it might fit her pretty well.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Sorry, I get what you're saying, but we're probably just going in circles, so let's leave it there. By the way, Mochi apparently said on the radio about the album, "There's no particular concept; this time it's evergreen," or something like that. What does that mean? Anyone hear it? orz

This place is so pointless.

Late reply, but Mai Kuraki's autograph really isn't worth muchｗ Miyuki's pass case has Ms. Kuraki's handwritten autograph! ttp://mo-on.com/image/img/ui2292649001_25.jpg

>>195 Furui and Okamoto, thanks for all your hard work—now be buried forever. Leave the rest to me. Come on, let's begin. All Night Nippon Evergreen When Nakamura dances and I write the lyrics, a new era of songs is born. Sakamoto in place of Furui, Matsumoto in place of Okamoto, leading the jewel-fish dawn. All Night Nippon Evergreen

>>195 Maybe he means the color? 1st → yellow, 2nd → blue, 3rd → burgundy, 4th → white/purple, 5th → orange, so the 6th → green.

Sounds like there was a whole argument, but the band's been going for almost eight years now, so it can't be serious enough to wreck their relationships, right, Nana-sama? Wasn't this whole thing dragged out because ID:8zZUBbGuO called her middle-school syndrome and a kid, which pissed off Nana's fans? If you'd just softened it to "a little childish," maybe it would've been fine. But I'm the one dredging it all up again, sorry. Forget I said anything. >>197 Who's Miyukiｗｗｗ

47 days till Furui leaves the band.

I looked up "evergreen" in the dictionary. It says "an evergreen tree." Below that it said "a timeless masterpiece." And below that, "eternally youthful" and "someone who never grows old." Is that Nana-sama?ｗ Is she gonna bottle up her youth too?ｗ

What does "evergreen" mean? We don't say that in Americaｗ That's what Marty said.

Didn't expect Marty's name to come up in this threadｗ

Marty was cool ten years ago, though.

In 泣けない夜も　泣かない朝も, there's this rap-like bit that sounds like "ganeppen goes radio." What are they actually saying?

"Your face is all rubbed raw"—I haven't listened to it in ages, so I don't remember too well, sorry.

At my sister's funeral after she died of an illness, my relatives caught me fondling her breasts and masturbating. Ever since word spread through the whole family, it's like I was never born.

Necro chaosｗ

Is the old guy changing careers? Is he gonna start selling cars in April?

I heard he's going to work full-time at the GIZA Creators School.

Morning—better late than never.

If nobody replies for five minutes, Nana's my wife. Nana—wait for me!

(´･ω･`) Not on my watch.

Noooooo...........

If nobody replies for five minutes, Nana's my wife.

Not happening.

↓If someone replies within 30 seconds, Nana's your wife.

I'll take Yurippe.

If nobody replies for five minutes, Yurippe's my big sis. Yurippe, hnnngh...

>>221

Another wild title this time... What's "Mr. Holiday" even meanｗｗ

Whoaｗ "Evergreen" showed up in my serotonin bookｗｗ

Yurippe looks impossibly cute on the Please, Forgive Me page.

It's gonna be lonely when the old guy's gone.

The old guy'll always be in our hearts, so it's all good.

If the old guy leaves, Mochi's gonna stick out even more, so I think he'll fade out too.

If nobody replies for five minutes, Lady Yuri is my queen.

I'll rent it. Listening probably won't make me want to buy it. Maybe it's goodbye. Maybe it's "oh well." Maybe it's their last CD. It's faded. In other words, I'm bored. Guess I've had my fill.

By the way, does the company buy the members' instruments?

If nobody replies for five minutes, >>229 is null and void.

There's no way to get the 2008 calendar anymore, right? I joined the fan club at the end of the year...

>>232 Good job! Yurippe belongs to all of us.

>>230 ...What does someone who goes out of their way to post that even want people to say? "I'm bored," "I'm not buying it." And? That's all I can think.

They just wanted to say it. Let's just let it go in one ear and out the other.

And? I'm the one going, "And?" here!

>>199 Nana said last year in Pass Para that she was "rooting for green" as the album color, so maybe that's how it got pickedｗ

>>235 Maybe they wanted people to agree with them? Like, "Actually, I feel the same way"...ｗ

>>237 Why are you getting so worked upｗ

Anyway... Yurippe sure is beautiful...

When she was younger, anyway...

There's nothing wrong with watching her mature, is there?

She was a beautiful girl when she was young. Now she's a beautiful woman. Yurippe's the best.

Yurippe's gotten so handsome.

If we're talking handsome, I'd say Nana more than Yurippe. They're both beautiful, though.

Anyway, I was blocked before, so I'm only saying this now: Why release the album in three versions? They could've done a regular edition, a first press with a DVD of a few live recordings or PVs, and a separate Ninnaji live DVD. That would've avoided hurting their image. If they keep pulling moves like avex and Johnny's, fans are really gonna keep leaving. Are the people at GIZA such a bunch of incompetents that they can't figure that out?

They wanna get it as high up the charts as possible. They even picked the release date for that. http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/release/A/6/jp/ Let's just buy two copies and think of it as buying a DVD.

At least it would've been nice if the three versions were: ・First press with PVs for the singles ・First press with a deluxe booklet ・Regular edition They could've released the live as a standalone DVD.

Even with two DVD versions, they'll probably be the usual half-assed 15-minute DVDs. If they were including almost two hours of footage, they'd sell it separately anyway...

Come to think of it, Gane just doesn't seem like a band for Deluxe first-press editions! PVs included! Live footage included! ｗ

Add a Mochi strap and it'll sell.

Some people like me are happy to get three different Yurippes all at once, so isn't this a good system where you can buy as many as you want? (´･ω･`)

>>250 There are only three PVs, so the Ninnaji stuff will probably be chopped up into about 15 minutes too.

They're gonna do the usual thing where you get a poster if you buy a CD at the live venue anyway. Just get one on release day, then buy the other two at the Tokyo and Osaka shows. They always have two kinds of posters.

I'd want one if it were an AA Mochi.

Choose-your-own school lunch.

>>255 (´･ω･`) Azuki Zero?

I'm new here, but is Furui really leaving the band?

Just hypothetically: Old guy leaves → GARNET breaks up at the same time 　↓ They become a trio 　↓ Mochi doesn't fit in → Mochi fades out or moves behind the scenes → Yuri and Nana Those seem like the only two options.

46 days till Furui leaves the band.

Looks like he just wants attention.

Who's keeping an eye on the snowfall updates?ｗｗ

People looking at this thread are also looking at (ver. 0.20): ▽▼BEING GROUP▼▽::166 [Being Group] [Japanese music] Please tell me!!

I can't sleep 'cause I keep thinking about Yurippe(´･ω･`)

>>260 If they became a trio, they'd probably end up like GO!GO!7188. The women there are close and the guy sticks out. And they tease him for being fat.

What's everyone's favorite cover photo?

>>250 That's probably how it'll go. Like on Countdown TV's album previews, they'll just take little snippets of different songs and make it about 15 minutes total. I'm disappointed GIZA doesn't get the obvious point that the Ninnaji live DVD is only worth buying if they release the whole thing. In the end, they only care about short-term sales...

Unlike other live venues, Ninnaji didn't have recording or filming equipment, so maybe they didn't get enough footage to sell. Still, I think it'd be fine to sell it as a fan-club exclusive. If they only made as many as people ordered, there wouldn't be extra costs. Though I guess they can't manufacture such a small number, so they could sell whatever's left at the live venues little by little.

>>268 Agreed. Probably not much different from Yahoo or GyaO. Two first-press editions at ¥3,500 each is one hell of a rip-off.

I like the songs, but isn't the vocalist's tone and singing awful...? I thought they were an indie band...

It's not awful.

Well, I guess you can't get an honest opinion on a fan thread...

The first-press edition's cheaper on Amazon.

>>273 Sorry my reply wasn't what you were hoping for.

>>273 Come on, if you didn't like her voice, you wouldn't have become a fan in the first place. I'd say that goes for any artist's fans...

There's a god here. Check out these two user IDs. http://namidame.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/kouri/1200929154/309-311

>>276 Nowhere did this guy say he's a fan. For example, I became a fan because I was drawn to the old guy's arrangements, Nana's lyrics, and Yurippe's melodies, so even now Yurippe's voice and singing aren't that important to me. Though I do think it wouldn't be Gane without Yurippe's voice. There are all kinds of fans. Anyway, there are so many regulars lately—it really feels like a fan site compared to how it used to be.

>>278 No, no(´･ω･`) what I meant was, since this place is full of fans, you'd obviously get agreement for saying something like >>271, so >>273's post was ridiculously childish.

↑ ×"you'd obviously get agreement" 〇"you obviously wouldn't get agreement" But can you really like a band if you don't like the singer's voice? I've liked YUKI since her Judy and Mary days, but the change in her voice over the last couple years put me off, and I stopped buying her stuff entirely.

Nana: "Why are you guys fighting over something so stupid? I love all of you, y'know."

Nana doesn't talk like that.

The Ninnaji live's gonna air on SkyPerfecTV, but they're not showing the whole thing, right? Was it an hour?

>>278 Your reading comprehension is awful.

>>282 Shut up and go back to Nana-sama hnnngh-ing.

>>280 Are you me? I loved Judy and Mary too, but I haven't listened to much of solo YUKI. Part of it is that TAKUYA's guitar isn't there, but lately YUKI's voice has gotten kind of weird, and I've lost even more interest. Isn't YUKI in her late thirties now? Why's her voice changing at this point?

>>283 I'm worried they'll just cram that exact same thing onto the album DVD. GIZA might actually do it...

>>286 Didn't expect to find a kindred spirit here. If anything, I think YUKI's gotten cuter-looking... How'd her voice end up like that... Sorry for going off-topic.

>>274 At that price, I'd be willing to buy the DVD editionｗ

>>288 YUKI's always been doing stuff that strains her throatｗ Being a bus guide's pretty rough on your voice too.

I'll love any voice that comes out of Yurippe.

>>289 For some reason it's cheaper than the regular editionｗ >>290 Bus guideｗ Guess it's catching up with her from when she was young... >>291 Same here.

Do people actually think indie = bad quality?

>>291 Nana-sama...?

Nana-sama and Yurippe's fan would probably get along great, as long as they only talked about Yurippe.

I'm new here. Nice to meet you. I saw someone say Yurippe looks cute on the PLEASE FOR page in the second album. What does she look like there? I don't have the album—could someone post a picture? I'd like to see the calendar photos too.

Would it be okay if I post it? I'm out right now, so sorry for posting from my phone. http://imepita.jp/20080129/674410 She's soooo cute━━ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡━━

>>297 That one's so cute! Yurippe looks like a doll. Wait, if you're out, is that your wallpaperｗｗｗ

>>297 Those lips are irresistible! Those shoulders are irresistible! 　(；´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ

>>298 Right? She looks just like a dollｗ >Wait, if you're out, is that your wallpaperｗｗｗ Yep. I change it depending on my mood that day; it's one of them. I'm not... embarrassed!

We already know Yurippe's cute. That's nothing new.

This place sure has gotten weird.

Sorry(´･ω･`)

First Press B will be 15 minutes at most, right? Considering they cost the same, the Ninnaji live might only have two or three songs... then they'll release the full version later.

>>302 Hard agreeｗ

Thanks. Yurippe's so cute. Her lips are really sexy.

>>305 You too, (ry

>>305 You're the one who (ry

>>304 There's no way they'll release the full version. Think about what happened with the Premium Live. They went to all the trouble of filming it, so they should just release the whole thing.

Yeah, this place really has gotten weird.

Anyone using a fixed handle is a newbie, or maybe a kid. They're annoying—so desperate for attention.

Was Yuri-Nana, which used to be a pretty dead thread, getting busier because this place started getting weird? It was dead back when this thread was still functioning normally, right?

I know she's in her thirties, but she's still cute.

>Back when this thread was still functioning normally What are you talking about? This thread used to have a template that broke 2ch rules, and the board volunteers complained about it.

>>305 Oh.

I wanna have some really intense sex with Yurippe.

If nobody replies for five minutes, >>316's gonna get fucked by a Chocoball.

>>317

Can we finally stop with the "if nobody replies" series? If nobody replies for five minutes, I'm Yurippe.

>>319 DONMAI

No way.

Just looking at Yurippe in >>297 is enough to make me come.

In a world overrun by cellphone addicts...

POISON

I've never been to a live before, but I wanna go next time. Where do you buy tickets? At a convenience store?

Join the fan club.

Posting to celebrate getting unbanned.

Come to think of it, Tera Newbie hasn't been around lately. The regulars still here are Cuckle, Yurippe Otaku, Die, and Kishū, huh?

I preordered the PV DVD version on Amazon. Not gonna get the live one, probably. When's the full thing coming? (･∀･ )っ/凵⌒☆ﾁﾝﾁﾝ

I forgot to buy the fan-club calendar at the end of the year, and now I'm waiting for a restock. Do I have to wait until the next newsletter?

If you complain about the three versions, they're basically telling you to go to the live. The Ninnaji show might get a DVD like the Twilight Valley tour, so don't buy the PV one. Even if you buy all three, it's only 10,000 yen—cheap for a fan. I'm not buying the regular one with nothing extra, though.

Here I am, with a face that's like a mix of Yurippe and Nana.

This goes for every artist, but aren't the covers often better on the regular edition than the first-press one?

I thought the first-press cover for Twilight Valley was amazing, though.

The Twilight Valley digest and the DVD they released later were different, though.

>>335 Maybe he meant they might release it on DVD like the Twilight Valley tour.

>>335 The Twilight Valley album DVD was from the Premium Live. But this time, the Ninnaji show is probably the only big live they've done... Anyway, the point is only people who bought it will know what's on there. If you can't or don't want to buy both first-press editions, just get one of them. As far as Gane goes, I've been buying the first press since their debut, or I can't relax. I'm definitely getting the PV first press, and depending on how it looks, maybe both.

>>333 Regular edition > DVD edition? What is this, Ayumi Hamasaki? But seriously, what's the chance they'll release the entire Ninnaji show? Being doesn't seem to put out many live DVDs. At best, they'll chop it up and put it in a 10th anniversary box someday...

Sorry for the double post. Serious question: How much of the Premium Live footage that aired on USEN or something before overlapped with the Twilight Valley first-press DVD?

I feel like there was a time when Kuraki and AiuChi were putting out live DVDs like crazy. GARNET is pretty central to Being now, so they need it to sell. I'll choose to read the three editions as a sign that the company or Gane might be in trouble. I still don't want Being to go bankrupt or Gane to break up...

Saida's writing the album liner notes♪^^

>>330 Don't steal my name! And your tripcode's even better than mine... Anyway, what's everyone's favorite album?

You're bringing up a topic that's been talked to death already...

45 days till Mochi blooms. Come to think of it, he hasn't shown up today.

Was that topic really talked to death?

>>343 For me it's Crystallize, since it has a bunch of my favorite songs.

The lyrics are embarrassing too... right?

>>343 You're annoying. Drop the fixed handle.

45 days till Furui leaves the band.

I'd like to know what got people who became fans in the last year or two into them.

Morning, Yurippe.

Seems like a lot of people here don't know what "worship" means.

>>351 ZARD got me into them.

Yeah, I can see ZARD fans liking this. I mean, GARNET CROW, lol. Some middle-school band? More embarrassing than visual kei.

>>355 They're not a band, they're a unit. Are you stupid?

I worship Yurippe's autograph every day.

>>354 Same, ZARD. I knew the old guy's name first.

356 Name: 名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。[] Posted: 2008/01/30(水) 12:24:23 ID:TWWxdHTRO >>355 They're not a band, they're a unit. Are you stupid?

All the GIZA acts are terrible.

Everything up to here was just one guy talking to himself.

>>351 ZARD got me into them too.

Nana's friend: http://p4-18ban.ath.cx/photo/1/231860/231860-218372-0-1010651-pc.jpg

>>357 Gimme that.

Nope, not giving it to you.

>>364 Get lost, you shitty fixed-handle loser. Die.

The chances of them doing the movie theme are getting lower. At this rate, looks like it'll be ZARD.

This thread's gone to shit.

I don't listen to ZARD. I used to like Mai Kuraki.

I wonder what mixes will be on this album. Probably 風とRAINBOW, right?

I used to like Mai Kuraki, but the lyrics were cheap and repetitive, so I got sick of her.

I kinda like Mai Kuraki's voice. It's like Yurippe's, just a little thinner.

>>369 I just tried it and it worked. Search "GARNET CROW Locks."

On ZARD's Request Best that came out recently, there's a song called "Photograph." Isn't Yurippe doing the backing vocals? You can really hear it in the chorus. That distinctive voice has to be Yurippe...

>>366 2ch newbies, take it to the newbie help board. Flaming fixed-handle users anywhere except the Worst board can get you restricted.

>>376 That's right♪ People in the ZARD thread like it too.

Photograph's a great song.

>>376 I think so too. The backing vocals are so nicely wistful and gentle. Yurippe sure was busy back then. Also, check out 冬のひまわり, arranged by the old guy!

>>376 I think so too. Maybe there are others if I listen more closely.

It's ¥2,975 on Amazon. Pretty cheap.

I had no idea... Maybe I'll go buy this "Request Best" thing right away.

Preordering a first-press edition on Amazon? You're quite the risk-taker.

So Yurippe sings the backing vocals on Photograph? That's good to know. I'm gonna listen to it a ton.

I became a GARNET CROW fan through ZARD. Their singing styles are so different, how can I like both?ｗ

>>380 You mean "新しいドア〜冬のひまわり〜"? It's great, has a nostalgic feel. I also really like 止まっていた時計〜, composed by Yurippe, though it's not on the Request Best. I bought the Request Best just out of curiosity, and somehow I'm gradually getting into ZARD. And I seem to like the songs I don't know at all the mostｗｗ Sorry for cheating on you, Yurippe...

"Just being by your side..." Is that the song? I've only heard it casually, but I didn't know Nakamura sang backing vocals on it. If Okamoto plays guitar on it, I wanna hear it.

I always thought 冬のひまわり was a great song, but the old guy arranged it? Amazing~

>>388 Yep, that's Photograph. I saw someone in the ZARD thread say that backing vocals were added on the Request Best. I don't know if it's an album track or a B-side, but does that mean there aren't backing vocals on the original? And then there's 止まっていた〜, グロマイ, and this one. I'm glad Yurippe's getting ZARD fans interested for those reasons.

Is Yurippe appearing at the memorial live working as promotion?

>>390 I think it's the last song on one of their albums. I didn't notice it on the original, so maybe Nakamura doesn't sing backing vocals there. By the way, does Okamoto play guitar on the Request Best?

>>377 Nice one, you shitty fixed-handle loser.

There's another Okamoto fanboy hereｗ

The people praising Mochi are just trying to make him look badｗ

>>390 Photograph is from ZARD's 1999 album 永遠, so... Feels like a collaboration across time—kinda moving. Turns out all those songs I liked back then without knowing anything were arranged by the old guy.

This is my first time here. Are you confusing me with some Okamoto fan who was here before? Okamoto's a great guy, so it's no surprise he has lots of fans, right?

Zero credibilityｗ

More ZARD and GARNET fans popping upｗ

>>392 I don't know about the guitar. I wanted to know, but the liner notes—the one place that matters—don't say anything... They should at least say if Nakamura sings backing vocals on Photograph, or if it was rearranged or whatever. I thought 冬のひまわり was a good song too, but I didn't know the old guy arranged it. This is way too hard to figure out for a CD made for fans. >>396 Oh, thanks for the info! Actually, it was in the included discography. My bad.

On the original 永遠 version of Photograph, it's not Yurippe singing—it sounds like some old guy, whoever he is.

Who do you think Nana-san's gonna give chocolate to?

I keep telling her I don't need any, though.

>>402 Nana's probably gonna get a tonｗ

Who'll get more chocolate, Mochi or the old guy? I think the old guy, though.

There are at least 30 Okamoto-san fans just among the people I know. Lots of people aren't interested in GARNET CROW but have bought CDs released under Hitoshi Okamoto's name alone. He may not be well known in Japan yet, but overseas, interest in Hitoshi Okamoto is growing among music critics and guitarists. My American and British friends call me internationally almost every day asking when Hitoshi Okamoto's next release is coming out. Do you get it? His music is recognized worldwide; he's a global presence. So you should call him Okamoto-san, not Mochi.

>>405 The old guy's birthday's coming up too, so people might give him some while they're at itｗ

Nana's the one who'll be getting chocolate.

I was singing Timeless Sleep at home and Grandma told me to stop before I made the miso go bad. Yurippe's definitely gonna give me chocolate to cheer me up.

>>405 The old guy'll get a lot thanks to his seniorityｗ

>>406 　　　　　　　　　＿＿＿ 　　　　　　　 / 　　 　　　ヽ 　　　　, -‐ (_).⌒ l￣| ⌒ |　　　　　＿＿ｏ 　　 　 ｌ_ｊ_ｊ_ｊ と)　ﾉ─|　　ﾉ　　　　　　　　|　二|二''　　＿ 　　　　/ 　 /　　　　　　　ヽ　　　 　　　ノ　　　|　　ヤ　　　ｯ 　　　 〈　 ノ　　　　　　　　 |

Your singing's so powerful it can even spoil miso.

>>405 Of course it'll be Okamoto-san. He's got over a million fans nationwide, and they'll send him stuff without caring if it's a nuisance, right? I don't plan to send anything. My handsome boyfriend, who's no match for Okamoto-san, would get jealous. He says if Okamoto-san made a move on me and I cheated, he'd just have to accept it if it was Okamoto-san.

There's some weirdo here, I'm dyingｗ

How many copies of Mochi's CD did he sell, anyway? Mochi chocolate's good, huh?

Mochi's dick is tasty too, huh?

The world's five greatest guitarists: Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Jimmy Page Jeff Beck Hitoshi Okamoto

>>416 About 200, counting relatives and friends.

>>416 You're a sad person if you can only judge by sales. Who's cheered the loudest at GARNET CROW lives? You know Okamoto-san's the most popular one in GARNET CROW, right? If you ask who's the hottest artist right now, who's number one? Sales depend so much on timing and luck, so they don't prove someone isn't popular at all. You should finally understand that musicians all over the world recognize him.

>>418 >>420 Mochi... quit sockpuppeting with your phone and PC...

>>421 Huh? You really think Okamoto-san fans are a minority here? Even among the world's five greatest guitarists, Hitoshi Okamoto is in a class of his own. I wouldn't put it that way. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed. I'll be back. Good night to Okamoto-san's fans only.

>>419 If there were 200 Mochi fans, that'd be surprising, but some Gane fans probably bought it too, so there are way fewerｗ

I bought it because Nana wrote the lyrics.

>>406 LMAOｗ

Who's this Hitoshi Okamoto from the world's five greatest guitarists list? Same name as Mochi.

>>426 ttp://www.zero-dr.jp/clinic/014/cl00000693_dr0.html

No matter what, it always comes back to Yurippe being number one.

44 days till Furui leaves the band.

Yeah, exactlyｗ

Wrong thread, my bad.

Hope I dream about Yurippe.

That's it! That cheap vibe GARNET CROW has is from their karaoke PVs! Yeah, yeahｗ

ゆりオタ ◆YURIjsVbsQ I love NANA ◆AZUKI0/XK Way more annoying than Minna Shine and all. Not like they have any personality.

Morning, everyone. I'm short on time, so I'll just reply a little. >>434 Agreed. Especially that Yurippe Otaku person—so creepy. Like a stalker (lol). Anyway, Okamoto-san's album sold a million copies. Looks like the announcement was wrong. Actually it sold 6.84 million. I heard it from a very well-informed insider, so it's definitely true. If you think it's a lie, go ask the insider I heard it from. The timing was just off, so it was treated like it didn't sell—a clear example of the tragic, solitary guitarist who's down on his luck. Anyone can see that. The million-selling artists still at Being are: Hitoshi Okamoto B'z Mai Kuraki That's it, right? This isn't just my personal opinion—we should defend Okamoto-san as the consensus of this whole thread, shouldn't we?

Sorry, but the real Yurippe wouldn't call him Okamoto-san.

>>436 She wouldn't, right? She calls him "Okamocchi" in front of fans, with affection and respect, and now that people call him Mochi, Nakamura's sad too. So people who still call him Mochi should realize they're making fun of the Nakamura you like. Nakamura's truly heartbroken. She'd be sad if the "Okamocchi" she called him with affection and love got weirdly shortened to Mochi. How would you feel if someone you liked got called Mochi? Think before you speak.

What was Yurippe doing between graduating college and debuting?

>>438 Behind the scenes. She was composing too, but apparently they trained her on backing vocals and the Being singing style and stuff. It was probably harder before her debut. Back then, Okamoto-san was a full-on guitarist. He mainly did support work, but him finally getting his moment in the spotlight is proof that hard work always pays off.

First some weird fixed handles show up, then Mochi zealots. This thread's really gone weird lately.

Good luck to everyone reading the Meiji Gakuin University thread!

Meiji Gakuin has the guys from Thee Michelle Gun Elephant and Yoichi Shibuya. It's a prestigious place when it comes to rock.

Wasn't the second album 11 tracks plus two bonus tracks? Think there'll be bonus tracks this time too?

>>435 You're good at baitingｗ

My friend and I like Okamoto-san too.

Osugi-san?ｗ

Will the next album be around May next year? I used to look forward to one around the end of every year, but it seems like the timing's gonna keep slipping later.

GARNET doesn't need guitar parts in the first place. Without them, it'd be a god-tier band.

I'll rent it. Listening probably won't make me want to buy it. Maybe it's goodbye. Maybe it's "oh well." Maybe it's their last CD. It's faded. In other words, I'm bored. Guess I've had my fill.

I'm sure Yurippe isn't singing on ZARD's Photograph. There's no source, right?

>>448 Things that are like GARNET CROW without Okamoto-san: ・The Arctic with no ice ・Ramen with no broth ・Okonomiyaki with no sauce ・A future without you ・Mr.Children without Sakurai ・イルカ not singing Nagori Yuki ・>>448 not being a virgin Get it? That's the perfect comparison to show just how awful it would be. I get that you're jealous of Okamoto-san. He's got so many things you don't (lol).

>>449 Good for you☆

Yeah, today's thread has been a mess(´･ω･`)

>>450 If you only plug the earphones in halfway, you can hear the backing vocals clearly, and they sound like Yurippe. I don't have a source, but could it be her?

>>454 Thanks. I thought the voice sounded a little too high to be Yurippe, but I'll give it another careful listen.

>>453 If you read the room, this thread would be normal. Talking about Okamoto-san is obviously what this thread's about. You're new here, so you probably don't know, but there was a time when one thread got filled in about 30 minutes just talking about Okamoto-san. Lately, the embarrassing comments from the minority of Nakamura fans have really stood out. I'm talking about you. You should drop the handle. Your posts aren't even interesting, and that handle is unpleasant to look at. Use a normal name like Minna Shine or Cuckle. At least, as a Nakamura fan, I find it unpleasant.

Well, this is something...

I wonder if that guy doesn't feel pathetic typing up a long post on his phone, tap-tap-tapping away? I wonder?

Yurippe's so cute today too(´･ω･`)

>>456 "Everyone should just die." You're the weird one if you think that's "normal."

Wall of text is cringe.

I think everything'd be solved if the phone addicts disappeared.

>>460 That's normal. I think I'm more reasonable than Yurippe Otaku. As a Nakamura fan, fixed handles make me uncomfortable. Anyway, let's get back to Okamoto-san. You all think he's the most handsome man in the world, right? Everyone thinks so, right? There are way too many Okamoto-san fans in this thread.

Isn't the ZARD backing vocalist Aika Ohno? That's just my own assumption, though. Yurippe's only done backing vocals for ZARD and Yuka Saegusa, right?

So a genuine lunatic has finally moved in here. Why does this kind of person always show up on the Japanese music board?

>Anyway, let's get back to Okamoto-san. >There are way too many Okamoto-san fans in this thread. How many years have you been in Japan?

I've never loved a band this much before. Thinking the members are probably working hard right now makes me put more into my own job too. Thanks, GARNET CROW. Sorry for ignoring the flow and posting the most pointless diary-entry ever.

>>466 I'm sorry. I'm an elite who grew up abroad, you see. When I came back to Japan, everyone around me was an Okamoto-san fan. It all happened while I was away—I felt like Urashima Tarō. There were rumors overseas too that Japan had a genius guitarist named Hitoshi Okamoto.

>>468

Just ignore him.

Can someone tell me which tracks have different recordings on the best-of versus the singles?

君の家 — indie version 夏の幻 — secret version Timeless — new recording Spiral — Sports version 夢みたあとで — live recording

This is starting to look like bait, so whatever.

Don't they rerun that CS broadcast way too much?ｗ Well, it doesn't matter to me since I can't watch it at home(´･ω･`)

>>464 She didn't sing backing vocals for Saegusa.

I found out about GARNET CROW after watching the memorial live. Then I bought the best-of.

>>476 She did on Graduation, which she gave to Saegusa.

There are a lot of people who are fans of both Kuraki and Gane on Mixi and fan blogs.

>>449 >>459 Reported.

An ordinary morning in an ordinary town Wakes an ordinary sun Ordinary people in an ordinary world Keep making the same ordinary mistakes There are too many things I want to take with me, so I set out with both hands empty. Unable to protect even one thing I want to protect, if you're going to lament your own helplessness, you might as well never have had feelings to begin with. Searching for an answer we still can't see, we'll head for the last remote island, still blindfolded.

Could the ZARD thing lead to a new friendship between Yurippe and Maki Ohguro...? Probably not, huh?

Best not to get involved with Ohguro.

Seeing how things have gone these last few days, I think we should put the "fixed handles get flamed" warning back in the template...

>>482 Friends with Maki Ohguro?? No way. People drag AZUKI Nana's name into it just to have something to bash Ohguro with.

You guys are taking the bait way too easily. Don't even reply to him.

>>484 Please make full use of the ignore function.

Cuckle and Yurippe Otaku, which version are you buying?

>>487 Get lost, scum. Die. Go get killed.

Don't make such pathetic posts.

43 days till Furui leaves the band.

>>488 Huh...? I'm gonna ren...

>>488 All of them, obviously. >>489 Come at me harderｗ

>>484 How many times do I have to explain it? That became an issue with the board volunteers. What other threads ban fixed handles? Hiroyuki said banning them makes a thread too closed-off, so the admins' policy is not to prohibit them. Go ask on the Loli board or the Justice board if you don't believe me. >>489 If you keep doing that, I'll really take it to the Justice board and have them dig up who you are.

>>493 Don't provoke himｗ I'm not a fan of your handle either, but egging someone on to break the rules is too much.

I'm gonna go flame Saida on Mixiｗ

>>494 I appreciate you saying that, but when you show up it makes it look like I'm sockpuppeting(´･ω･`)

>>497 I'm not defending you. Honestly, I don't care about you. The problem is that this was discussed by the admins before.

You're a phone addict and now you're trying to run the place...

Come on, be honest with yourselves. You're just so excited for Locks that you can't wait, right? By the way, anyone here able to watch CS?

Forget the admins. Since Yurippe Otaku's getting flamed in this thread, they should go back to being anonymous. Or move over to the Yuri-Nana thread. Fixed handles are apparently okay there. Here, we're just wasting replies by arguing about fixed handles.

>>501 So you're saying it's fine to move it to a punishment thread? If you're gonna flame fixed handles, go to the Worst board. Those are the rules. If you use the site, follow its rules. 2ch is Hiroyuki's board too—if you don't like it, leave.

>>501 Aren't you the only one flaming them?

>>478 Didn't she not? Her name isn't in the liner notes credits. People did talk about how on that album Yurippe was the only one who just contributed a song without doing backing vocals.

Here comes someone going on and on about rules. You should use a fixed handle too. I'll flame you nonstopｗ ゆりオタ ◆YURIjsVbsQ You should just hurry up and die. Why use a handle when you have the luxury of anonymity? You little brat. Bet you just learned how to use a tripcode and wanna show it off. You're annoying as hell, so die.

Is this a one-off account? Anyway, let's have some curry.

>>500 Well, that's what it comes down to. Go, Yurippe!

>>505 Your way of putting it is a problem too. Yurippe Otaku, I'm saying this for your own good: either tone it down, drop the handle, or move to the Yuri-Nana thread. You don't need to post about Yurippe every single time, do you?

>>500 I have SkyPerfecTV, so I can watch it.

GARNET CROW NEW ALBUM "Locks" track list: 01-最後の離島 02-世界はまわると言うけれど 03-風とRAINBOW-latin remix- 04-doubt 05-この手を伸ばせば 06-Dark Cinema 07-ネオンの海 08-LOVE IS A BIRD 09-涙のイエスタデー 10-もう一度笑って 11-Mr.Holiday

>>508 Because I want this guy dead. I know him.

>>505 is Saida.

>>504 She did backing vocals for Saegusa. You can tell when you listen—it's obviously Yurippe's voice.

>>511 If you know him, just tell him directly. He'll see it if you post here, right? It's not gonna feel good to read. Yurippe Otaku's behavior is pretty cringey, but yours is too.

>>514 If I tell him directly, he'll know it's meｗ I don't care if I'm cringey. I just want him dead.

>>515 How'd you figure out he's someone you know? But don't just throw around "die" like that.

Yeah, that fixed handle acting like Yurippe belongs only to them is annoying. No need to stick out in this thread. Someone recommend putting Yurippe Otaku and Furui on the ignore list.

...What, I just got dragged into some kids' fight. Do whatever you want. >>509 Lucky. Would posting a report start a flame war? I dunno, but after you watch, quietly let me know what it was likeｗ Man, I'm jealous.

Ugh, this is so dumbｗｗ

>>510 風とRAINBOW is a remix? I'm looking forward to it.

There it is!!!! 01 最後の離島 02 涙のイエスタデー 03 世界はまわると言うけれど 04 もう一度笑って 05 この手を伸ばせば 06 doubt 07 風とRAINBOW 08 ふたり 09 Mr.Holiday 10 The first cry 11 Love is a Bird http://www.cdjournal.com/main/cd/disc.php?dno=4108011931

Please be aware of this in advance. http://www.cdjournal.com/main/cd/disc.php?dno=4108011929

Thanks.

Does "rare footage" mean behind-the-scenes or making-of footage?

That Yurippe Otaku person is creepy, right? Like a stalker (lol). Anyway, Okamoto-san's album sold a million copies. Looks like the announcement was wrong. Actually, it sold 6.84 million. I heard this from an insider who knows all the details, so it's definitely true. If you think I'm lying, go ask that insider I heard it from. The timing was just off, so it was treated like it didn't sell—a clear example of the tragic, solitary guitarist who's down on his luck. Anyone can see that.

>>524 Hope they include rehearsal footage or something.

"ふたり," huh.

Who the hell is singing this?? http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2137367

What the hell are the Loli board and the Justice boardｗ

>>528 I'm really curious. I like German. The singer sounds kinda like Yurippeｗ

Long posts are creepy, right? Like those Mochi zealotsｗｗｗ

Putting 涙のイエスタデー before 世界はまわると言うけれど, huhｗ Depends on 最後の離島, but it'll still feel out of place.

Apparently it was originally a ballad, so I wish they'd included a rearranged version of that. Oh, wait, the ballad lyrics don't go "Namida no yesterdaaaay"ｗｗ

Mr. Holiday... Guess he's wearing colorful socks this time.

>>521 That fake track list was better, judging by the song order and everything.

ｗ Not many songs... I'm starting to worry about Gane's future... Am I overthinking it?

Only seven new songs on the album... I mean, there aren't many tracks at all... Honestly, it's a pain when they put out several versions with this little content.

And then, out of nowhere, they break up.

Should've been Mr. Jail instead of Mr. Holiday.

I hope 最後の離島 has the same surreal feel as 水のない晴れた海へ.

水のない晴れた海へ isn't surrealｗ It's just a normal song.

>>539 You like WANDS?ｗ

Does Hokkaido not get the Gane-Cro original CD reservation cards?ｗ Guess popularity's different from Honshu, where they hold lives.

Maybe Honshu doesn't get them either. They didn't have any for 世界はまわると言うけれど... The title 最後の離島 makes me think of his voyage more than anything. Or maybe villagers leaving a village that's about to be submerged under a dam.

Looks like Kumi Koda's made an enemy of AZUKI Nana. 【Entertainment】Kumi Koda: "Amniotic fluid rots at 35" http://mamono.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1201868645/l50

Ms. Azuki's scattering AZUKI beans on Setsubunｗ

>>546 Is this a different person from Yurippe Otaku?

Any news about the Conan movie? Theme song: GARNET CROW 　　　　VS 　　Theme song: ZARD

>>548 How about VS WANDS?

Please, at least beat ℃-ute's album.

Oh, right, there's the Conan movie. But there's no way the movie theme would suddenly be included on an album, right? It'll probably be someone else this time.

I'm shocked 世界はまわると言うけれど only sold 19,000 copies. Album sales are down too. Why?

It's an era when CDs don't sell.

>>552 Seriously?(´･ω･`) Hope the album sells well...

I'm preordering Locks. Wish they had an exclusive reservation card, but I doubt the CD shop in my town will have one. Maybe I'll just write GARNET CROW on a blank sheet of paperｗ

There's still over a month to go. Don't rushｗ

>>541 You call that a normal song?

I gotta order one CD with the Ninnaji live DVD and another with the PV collection. Wonder if the clerk will even understand an order like thatｗ

70,000 yen...? http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h54390750

>>559 I'm more amazed by the supposedly worthless tour book for ¥5,500 and the "treasure set" full of used rental-store rejects for ¥7,000ｗ Someone might actually buy the fan-club newsletters, though. Someone bid on vol. 1ｗ I wouldn't take them even for free.

>>521 There aren't many really striking titles this time... 夕月夜 and U made a huge impression when I first saw them orz But 最後の離島 and The first cry have me curious!

You say there aren't many songs, but the second album had 10 tracks total, excluding the remixes. And only six album tracks, right?

For some reason, this feels like the least promising album they've ever put out...

Well, I feel like people say that every time a new album comes out. But listening to their recent songs, I really can't get excited...

>>562 The singles on the second album had enough sparkle that you didn't feel that way. This time the singles aren't anything special, and it really feels like they're resorting to the multiple-version gimmick. If nothing grabs me when I preview it, this might be the first time I just rent it...

42 days till Furui leaves the band.

君とRAINBOW

In the Sky Blue Forest, let's look a little more for the Sky-Colored Cat.

>>562 The second album's a variety manzai kind of record. Sure, if you don't listen to remixes, it can feel a little lacking, but if 未完成な音色 had been on this album, I think it could've been a masterpiece on par with the fourth. My ranking's 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 = 5, but I'm curious where the sixth will land. Gane's fine, but Mai Kuraki's albums after her best-of haven't had many memorable songs, so I haven't been listening to her much lately. Her singing style changed too.

>>569 >variety manzai It's "variety-packed" (mansai)ｗ That's not a typo so much as you fundamentally remembering it wrongｗ —it's manzai.

If he was typing on a phone, a typo seems more likely.

Well, spring break starts today... Maybe I'll watch GARNET TIME again.

With so few tracks and such crappy first-press bonuses, they need a striking cover or they're in trouble, right? Knowing GIZA, it'll just be some random collage of four separate member photos, so I'm not expecting anythingｗ

Hey... the cover might be good, like Twilight Valley's. It's more fun to look forward to it than not, so I'll expect the best for nowｗ

I wonder if Yurippe's going to Björk's Osaka show on February 25ｗ

The Twilight Valley cover looks cool no matter how many times I see it.

>>570 There's no such Japanese phrase as "variety-packed variety show" either.

>>575 I'm curious what Yurippe will be like at the next live, for all kinds of reasons.

Who's better on guitar, Mochi or Oga-kun?

Yurippe.

>>579 Paul Gilbert >>>>>>>>>> infinite space >>>>>>>>>> every other guitarist in existence

Is the ZARD Sapporo show on 2/24 a day off?

Kuraki and AiuChi definitely had periods when they were putting stuff out nonstop. Gane's one of Being's main acts now, so they need it to sell. I'll choose to read the three editions as a sign that the company or Gane might be in trouble. I still don't want Being to go bankrupt or Gane to break up...

AiuChi and Komatsu are still with GIZA, aren't they?

Why don't they just switch labels?

>>583

http://www.vote5.net/music/htm/1201730239 Let's vote for our favorite songs on Vote Channel.

>>583 Haven't you said that before? Do you really want Gane to break up that badly?ｗ

I'm hungry... Everyone says oysters are good, but I can't do them. I eat one and throw up right away.

Another weirdo just showed upｷﾀ━(･∀･)━!!

By the way, I can't eat oysters either.

>>591 We're in this together~☆ Everyone around me says it's weird to hate oysters. In elementary school we had stew with oysters in it for lunch, so I threw mine out. Even the teacher looked at me like I was a criminal... I paid for lunch, so whether I eat it or not is my choice, right? When I said that, my homeroom teacher got mad. There was so much unfair stuff back then. Corporal punishment was totally normal too. I got whacked with a broom handle plenty of times—today that'd be a huge dealｗ

Recommend me some songs.

>>593 君と思い描いた夢集メルヘブン

Oysters are great. They're an aphrodisiac too.

People say raw oysters are especially amazing. I just can't eat them. Natto and kazunoko make me throw up as soon as I taste them too. I've got a friend who can't eat sashimi (sushi) at all, so I guess I'm better off than him.

I don't like oysters or kazunoko either, but I love natto. There's nothing else so cheap and nutritious. I mean, I can't even imagine what it's like to throw up after eating natto.

Don't get carried away by the conversation. Get into the conversation.

It's just a normal "bleeegh!"—like throwing up after holding it in as long as you can when you're carsick. The smell alone is impossible. Smells like my dad's socks after wearing them all day. I know they're nutritious and I should really eat them, though.

The True Yurippe Otaku-sama claims post 600!

>>599 Go eat some runny poop(´･ω･`)

That was closeｗ

>>601 Don't talk about poop while I'm eating curryｗｗ

>>602 >>603 Both of you cracked me up.

This thread's gone to shit. Get lost.

>>605 2ch is everyone's message board. You can't say selfish stuff like that, y'know?

You're gonna end up like Saida, just making stuff upｗ

What is this shit thread?

Yeah, it does feel like the thread started going downhill after Yurippe Otaku showed up.

This thread's doneｗ

びちびちウンチ ◆kE.rrMMb7Q ゆりオタ ◆YURIjsVbsQ 真のユリヲタ ◆YURI.ungr. Put them all on ignore and enjoy the peace! Best not to look at crazies.

Calling people crazy and then ignoring them is pretty rude. Are you a yutori kid?

Probably a yutori kid.

I came here because I heard this was the main GARNET CROW thread...

>>611 You're Cuckle, aren't youｗ

>>614 You must be imagining things.

>>613 Thought so. Maybe it's better not to engage with them too much. Reminds me of those "rage-prone 17-year-olds." They'd carry knives around and show off on TV. It was a big issue for a while.

Everything up to here was Minna Shine sockpuppeting.

Wipe out the whole thread along with the fixed handles.

>>617 You should probably stop now. Anyway, GARNET TIME really is soothing. Yurippe's "Ganbari-mammoth" is so cuteﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡

Yurippe was at the ZARD live again today, huh. Good job, Yurippe.

>>620 The version where she says "I'm Yurippe~" and does a little gesture is even cuter.

>>570 ->>571 Thanks for covering for me. If I were writing by hand, using my own brain, I'd have written "variety-packed," but on my phone I typed "variety manzai." Machines are scary. Rely on them too much and your brainpower'll drop. Even though I email my internet friends, I exchange letters with them. What's the foreign word for a letter-writing friend again?

Pen friend.

Pen friend.

>>622 I haven't watched in a while, so I don't remember. Do you know which episode it was?

No, no, Yurippe's "Get's" interrupting Nana-san's self-introduction is the best one.

Yurippe at the Yokohama show was sexy.

Thanks for your hard work again today, Yurippe.

Sexy Yurippe's got big boobs.

I'm a ZARD fan, but Yurippe was beautiful and her backing vocals were great. I got to see three-fourths of GARNET CROW.

41 days till Furui leaves the band.

>>1 Thanks for the thread.

I like Nakamura-san's voice, even if it's distinctive. It's the kind of voice that'd probably do well in Europe or America. And she's really beautiful. This is just my personal wish, but I'd like Nakamura-san to wear gym bloomers. They have to be navy blue, though.

I'm a huge ZARD fan and I went to the memorial concert. Yurippe was beautiful. Her backing vocals were great too. Thanks to the old guy and Okamoto-san for giving it your all.

Don't bump the thread, you monkey.

Thinking that people who hate fixed handles should use fixed handles themselves is pretty messed up. —Minna Shine Member Red

I didn't use to listen to much music, but I happened to see them on YouTube and became a fan. This is my first time on the music board, so nice to meet you (・ω・)ノ

So this is Minna Shine's tripcode. GARNET, please don't break up for a while. I'm really begging you. Yurippe, Nana-san, I love you. I've been listening for six years and still haven't gotten tired of them. If GARNET CROW breaks up, I might really quit my job and become a shut-in. I'll be drinking nonstop... orz And since the tripcode's exposed, I think Minna Shine should change their handle. —Despair Red

Wait... they might break up? I was just about to start listening to them...(ToT)

Anyway, come back after you've completed all 105 songs. And yeah, buy every single one.

>>640 That won't happen. Listen to them all you want. The B-sides are really good too, so listen to a bunch of them. I recommend 夕立の庭. Sorry for making you think that.

>>642 That's a relief(*^_^*) 夕立の庭, got it. I'll give it a listen('◇')ゞ

クライアー ガール is good too.

Huh?

Haven't been here in ages, and now it's turned into a chaotic threadｗ If GARNET breaks up, I hope Yurippe writes songs for other artists and Nana gets an essay column in a magazine or something.

>>646 >An essay column I'll bet sixty billion it'll be announced on the third installment, then put on indefinite hiatus and quietly forgotten.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=dkdDKh2rxtk The crowd being this dead for this song is not good.

この冬の白さに

Thanks for your support again this year.

>>650 Same to you, old guy!

I preordered the new album online. I went with DVD Type B (live footage).

>>652 You don't need to report that.

So B's popular, huh. For those of you buying only B, what if the covers and booklets were: A → Yurippe & Nana-san, B → old guy & Mochi, regular → everyone? What would you do then?ｗ Not that it'll happenｗ

>>654 No chance they'd make a cover with just the old guy and Mochi, so don't worryｗ

They really should bring back bloomers for gym class. I think they'd look great on Nakamura-san too. I hate those feminist groups who got them abolished from the bottom of my heart. Even the high school girls themselves said they were embarrassed, but what's there to be embarrassed about? I don't get it at all. Not that I want to understand, either (｀ε´)

>>654 I'd still pick B even without the bonus. It's way too rare.

Of course I'm buying them all. (Absolutely!)

>>652 Isn't the DVD with the PVs First Press B?

This is obviously some company employee trying to sway things.

>>659 Yeah. >>652 >>1

>>659 Yep. I'll record the Ninnaji Live on DVD Type A when it airs on SkyPerfecTV this month, so I'm good. It's a 55-minute broadcast, so it should be longer than the DVD.

If they included a Ninnaji making-of, everyone'd be tornｗ I don't have SkyPerfecTV anyway, so I'm buying both A and B.

Was Yuri-Nana, which used to be a pretty dead thread, getting busier because this place started getting weird? It was dead back when this thread was still functioning normally, right?

>Back when this thread was still functioning normally What are you talking about? This thread used to have a template that broke 2ch rules, and the board volunteers complained about it.

>This thread used to have a template that broke 2ch rules, and the board volunteers complained about it. What kind of template?

Rina Aiuchi's still around? I thought she'd disappeared.

>>667 Weird bone structure, and a lot of her fans are delinquents.

>>668 Her fans are delinquents, huh. That's kinda off-putting. I checked Wikipedia—she's still really active. Guess I just didn't know. Come to think of it, there was Rina Chinen too. She's totally disappeared. I hear her name about as often as Shiro Tsぶやき. Hope Gane becomes a long-running band.

>>1 ◆ Ignore trolls, delusions, and posts outing other artists. Before you go on about the template, maybe read the current one.

>>667 She's a good singer, but that company...

Ever since I bought a USB OneSeg tuner, women are all over me and the girl I like confessed to me. I even won second prize in the year-end lottery. It's all thanks to my USB OneSeg tuner. I'm gonna keep it plugged in forever. Thanks, USB OneSeg tuner!!

>>669 Chinen got divorced too. I have no idea what she's doing now. GARNET's been around seven years, so they're about to become one of the established acts. And Yurippe's a virgin, even though she's already 30.

>>673 You again. A virgin?ｗ No wayｗ

No way?

>>673 Seems like she barely works and is almost unemployed. She can't even count on her husband to support her, so it must be rough. And she's got a little kid too. She's that cute and still a virgin? That's kinda moeｗ I don't need some slut. Maybe I'll be her first guy. Though I might get too nervous to get it up. >>674 Well, you never know. Some women are pretty and just never happened to meet anyone.

>>676 Hope you get to be her firstｗ Keep dreaming for the rest of your lifeｗ No chance to meet anyone? Even we wannabe singers who've barely made it had chances. No wayｗ

>>677 Who are you replying to? There's no >>676 here.

>>677 What is this guy?

>>677 >wannabe singers who've barely made it Tell me more about this.

>>680 When I was singing amateur stuff, I never had trouble finding womenｗ With a beauty like Yuri Nakamura, she could take her pick. How does anyone even come up with the idea that she's still a virgin? Well, you can dream, but it's absolutely impossible. If she's a 30-year-old virgin, she must be into womenｗ

The fixed-handle guy's backｗ

>>681 Men and women are a little different, aren't they? When a woman is too beautiful, guys can decide she's out of their league and back off on their own. I don't care if she's not a virgin, as long as she's not promiscuous. But why are you so sure it's absolutely impossible? >If she's a 30-year-old virgin, she must be into womenｗ Even if that's true, I wouldn't mind at allｗ

>>683 Pervert! Enemy of the emperor! Traitor!

>>684 Whyｗ I'm not a pervert, and I'm no Akechi traitor with a bald orange-peel headｗ

Well, in the end, it all comes down to Yurippe being cute.

Yeah. That's the one absolute truth nobody can argue with.

So let's stop fighting over dumb stuff and keep the peace.

>>681 Yeah, yeah, you're so cool, you're so cool. Get lost, you and all the shitty fixed handles.

>>682 I knew you'd recognize meｗ Whatever, if I post it'll get messy again, so later. >>683 What century are you living in? "Out of your league"ｗ Didn't our teacher tell you to go after every pretty woman you see? No way. I can guarantee it.

>>690 Maybe Westerners are like that, but not many Japanese guys are that aggressiveｗ But you sound so sure, I'm starting to lose confidence. Then I start wondering who she'd be with.

Is Nana really that cool? She's always all over Yurippe, acts bored on the radio without reading the room, and talks about herself. I don't think a genuinely cool person would do that stuff. That magazine comment about "not liking female artists' voices," too— I'd get it if Nana only wrote lyrics for Gane, but she doesn't seem to think about how female artists must feel getting lyrics from a writer who says she hates their voices. It's not "free-spirited"; she's just got middle-school syndrome or is a kid. I like Gane and I'm not a hater, but honestly, I can't stand this vibe of "Nana-sama's a weirdo, so she can get away with anything."

But I still love Nana after all~

Maybe GARNET has a lot of introverted, otaku-ish fans because so many of their songs are kinda depressing...

>>692 You againｗ

Fan = otaku.

>>693 Nana-san'll be a mom someday and put her kid in MoonyMan diapers.

Nana-san's definitely a cloth-diaper personｗ

I grew up in cloth diapers too. Must've been a pain to wash them, though.

Now I know firsthand how annoying fixed handles can beｗ

I wish everyone would just die.

Even as a joke, you shouldn't say stuff like that.

How long is this gonna keep going?

Forever. People like this won't change until they die.

The official discography still hasn't been updatedｗ How long are they gonna keep 世界はまわると言うけれど as the phantom single?

40 days till Furui leaves the band.

Fixed-handle nobody with zero presence, read the room and go kill yourself already.

>>707 Nope. I'm not killing myself. If I have no presence, then don't pay attention to me.

I'll share my personal best with everyone. 1. 晴れた時計 2. まぼろし 3. 夢見た後で 4. クリスタル・ゲージ 5. Holy ground (maybe that's a little too obscureｗ)

1. sky 2. Please, forgive me 3. まぼろし 4. 僕らだけの未来 5. 幸福なペット 幸福なペット has been my ringtone for ages.

What is this threadｗｗｗ The sockpuppeting is so gross—worst thread flow since Takei disappeared. Judging from what they're saying and how they're acting, it's gotta be the same guy.

1. 最後の離島 2. 世界はまわると言うけれど 3. 風とRAINBOW 4. doubt 5. この手を伸ばせば

Future guy, nice one.

I'm beat from work. Gonna sleep now. Good night (=_=)

I don't get the nerve of those fixed-handle users, sticking around when everyone hates them this much.

Saw 髪結い. It was sexy. Nana's sexy, I thought. Marry me, Nana-sama.

There's no time. I've only got a little while left to exist as a human being (aru). You know, one-twelfth of the year is already over. I can't believe I'm starting to forget things this early. Marry me.

>>716 Rightｗｗｗ It's the whole vibe that's sexy. It's weird that something like that would be at a universityｗｗ

Isn't it normal to have that at a university? I'd be put off if it were at a middle schoolｗ

Yurippe, as the leader, stopping the old guy from leaving: "You can't leave the band, old guy. Got it? If you can't follow orders, you're fired." Huh?

>>720 That's the bestｗ I don't care what it's about, I wanna get ordered around by Nakamura-san tooｗ

Could AZUKI七 actually be AZＵki†? AZ means from beginning to end. Ｕ is the universal set symbol. ki†七 represents the cross, ki is the Tree of Life, and the tenth sephira is azuki-colored, representing women and the Earth. In other words, maybe it means, "I ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, so I'll carry the cross for the rest of my life." My research into areolas is gonna take a while longer, so please be patient.

Addendum: Maybe 七 represents the seven deadly sins.

Pretty interesting.

Ｕ means union. I just wrote universal set because that's what "universal set" means. What am I even doing? Even a middle schooler wouldn't get that wrong... sorry.

That's deep... (ΘoΘ;) There might be something to it (・ω・)

Is this thread's vibe these days kinda like the old threads?

Kuk-kuru = MinshNe's sockpuppet. Using a phone and a PC, too.

Someone should send this to Mochi Radio. "What does 'AZUKI七' mean? Okamoto-san, if you know, please tell us"ｗｗ

Okamoto: "Before that, could you stop calling me Mochi?"

I think it's a cute nickname.

>730 Yurippe called you that too, y'know.

I doubt Nana thought that hard about naming herself "AZUKI七." Probably just happened to have seven azuki beans in the azuki ice pop she was eating or something. People are trying way too hard to decode the lyrics, but I think she just writes pretty casually.

>733 >People are trying way too hard to decode the lyrics, but I think she just writes pretty casually. Yeah, I thought that too. Not trying to put those people down, but she definitely doesn't think that deeply about it. Though, if the pieces happen to fit, that's pretty amazing in its own way.

You're such a bore. Don't go taking away people's desire to try to figure something out and look for answers like this.

I don't think Nana just casually writes her lyrics. I'm sure she takes her music pretty seriously. Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the fans and the other members?

I think they mean she takes it seriously, but doesn't work out every last bit of logic and consistency. Feels like she writes from inspiration.

No, I don't mean she writes carelessly. It's just that sometimes people read way too much into stuff, right? Like, she probably isn't thinking about planting foreshadowing in the lyrics and all that.

Jinxｗ But yeah, what >>737 said.

Fans could read way too much into things and end up with the exact opposite of what Nana intended. Feels about as pointless as ranking manga characters by strength.

I think the scenery Nana sees in her head is probably different from what regular people see. That's why she can write lyrics that are different and mysterious. I get it, 'cause I'm the same kind of person as Nana. Nobody ever understands me, though.

Nobody understands you, huh... I kinda get that.

So yeah, I think Nana's inspiration is exactly the talent that makes her different from everyone else. Because she's different, she can write without overthinking it, or make it sound like she hasn't overthought it. I really do love Nana ｖ Sorry for the wall of text.

>734 I think she's great at tying lyrics together, like in "whiteout," but there are so many people reading way too much into things that it kinda puts me offｗ

I think Nana would be happy that fans read into things—or just think about them in all sorts of ways. As a songwriter, she'd probably enjoy reading all the different reactions she gets. Even if someone comes up with something totally opposite to what she pictured, she'd probably just shrug it off like, "Huh, people can see it that way too~" I do think she puts some thought into her lyrics, though. Of course, she probably values inspiration too.

Maybe she starts with whatever inspiration hits her, then later goes, "Wouldn't it be more interesting if I did this here?"

Meaningless. The truth is with Nana.

What'll Yurippe get the leader for her birthday?

Maybe a hand-knitted scarf?

Half the time I can't make out what the vocalist here is singing. But she's normal when she talks, right?? Why only when she sings?? Don't just say "that's how it's supposed to be"—tell me.

>647 What is this, Hunter × Hunter?ｗ

>748 They'll hand it over unwrapped since a box costs extra, right?

350 yen ÷ 4 people = 87.5 yen per person.

>748 By the way, for Mochi they gave him one lighter "from everyone"...

Does Mochi smoke? What a brat.

Mochi should totally play the live-action GeGeGe no Kitaro.

It's a halibut.

I went ahead and preordered all three. Don't think you can keep doing this shitty business forever.

>758 Tsundere, nice one.

Gonna watch the skirt flutter in the Namida no Yesterday PV one more time, then sleep.

39 days till Furui leaves.

>760 Bury that forever.

That white dude in the PV really stuck with me for some reason.

>762 Don't reply to the shit fixed-handle guy.

"I wanna see a deeper darkness~♪ That's what I felt~♪"

http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/hayamatakeshi_livedoor/imgs/c/1/c1dece2b.jpg Photo from the memorial live, from Hayama's blog. Yurippe's so cute~ Mochi and Iwai look like twins, lolｗ

>766 I can't see Nana-sama, who should be just to Yurippe's left...

Poopoo!

>766 Where's Yurippe? I can't find her.

The woman flashing a peace sign, third from the left in the top row.

>769 She's doing those clueless peace signs with both hands, can't you see?

Yurippe's so cute she's totally out of place(´･ω･`)

Nakamura-san is by far the cutest, right?(*^_^*)

Nakamura-san's over 30 and still such a cringey person. Anyway, who's the handsome guy in the bottom right? He's ridiculously good-looking. It's amazing how he's even hotter than Beckham. It was love at first sight for me. My heart's going doki-doki ×2.

There's something in the upper left.

>775 An old dudeｗｗ

AZUKI777 ｗｗ

>766 Who's right behind Yurippe? Also, where's Ohno sticking his face out from?

>766 Yuri-san's so cute(*´д｀*)

I wanna drink Nana-sama's amniotic fluid(;´Д｀)ﾊｧﾊｧ

>780 ...Wait, do you think all women have amniotic fluid in their bellies from the get-go?

Are you seriously replying to him?

>767 She's right next to Yurippe, flashing a peace sign. She's got a great smile.

>766 Wait, is that Hayama crouching on the left side of the photo? Surrounded by womenｗ

I've been to the memorial live a few times, and every time I went, Kurose held hands with Yurippe at the end. For some reason, at Yokohama, after the show ended and they came down, he touched Yurippe's shoulder before taking her hand. That kinda pissed me off.

I'm so jealous. Anyway, Yurippe really pulls off the double peace signs.

>781 Obviously. It's common sense.

>753 What's this, splitting it four ways?

Yurippe, so cute... Really, she's adorable.

Nagato, clean out your ears and listen to what >>758 is saying. You disgrace the Omi merchants. That's all.

Yurippe really is cute. Maybe I'll make her my wife.

What a gathering of obnoxious kids.

I heard in another thread that the handsome guy in the lower right of >>766 is GARNET CROW's Okamoto Hitoshi, so I came here. I looked back through the thread and was surprised it was all talk about Okamoto-san. He's getting a lot of attention in other threads too. People were saying GARNET CROW should be a guitar-focused band, or just rename it Okamoto Hitoshi with GC. Apparently he's counted among the world's five greatest guitarists and gets attention overseas too. I really respect him.

>791 She says no.

The guitar playing in "Yasashii Ame" is so cool.

Ohga's cool, right?

Ah, so lonely. If I could just not feel lonely when I'm alone, it wouldn't hurt. But I can't help wanting someone.

Yurippe, I love you, Yurippe...

Today at a convenience store, they asked, "Want us to heat up your rice ball?" so I said, "Please warm my heart instead." She turned bright red and silently wrote her contact info on the back of the receipt. But out of habit, I tossed the receipt in the "receipt recycle" box and left.

Isn't there a GARNET CROW song with a chorus that goes "shii-ro-i kaze to nen-bu-ran" (not sure about that last bit)?

"Call my name~♪"

Then I quietly slipped it into the pocket of the guy behind you in line. The clerk glaring at you looked exactly like Kato from Zabungle.

People are lonelier than you'd think. I'm incredibly lonely too. And I can't help feeling like the high school girls passing me are looking over and laughing.

That's 'cause your face looks like runny poop＾＾

>801 Oh! I finally got it! I'd been trying to remember it forever, so this really helped! Thanks!

>805 It's "Shiroi Kabe to Rembrandt."

White Wind and Mont Blanc.

All I can hear is "Shiroi Kabe to Nemure."

(´･ω･`)つ ENT doctor Good night, Yurippe~

I'm gonna watch Tera Live on YouTube, take a dump, then hit the sack too.

38 days till Furui leaves.

Someone said before that "Last Love Song" gets used at weddings, but wouldn't "Call My Name" be a better fit? Like that bit about "the days I'll walk with you~" and so on. Though honestly, both songs seem kinda negative for a weddingｗ

I only started listening to GARNET CROW recently. What does "La La tu lu Rah Ta" in "Crystal Gauge" mean?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=ja&q=La+La+tu+lu+Rah+Ta&btnG=%E6%A4%9C%E7%B4%A2&lr=lang_ja Quite the global results for a search restricted to Japanese pages, huh?

It's not negative at all.
