>1 Thanks. Official site: http://www.garnetcrow.com/

Even though Aika Ohno is better at singing and composing, why doesn't she sell...

Leaving singing ability aside, it's hard to say who's better at composing.

So Aika Ohno was the same age as Yurippe... I mean...

Looks-wise, she's miles ahead.

However you look at it, Yurippe is above average in looks. And she's a virgin. You guys are asking for too much, aren't you?

Don't "whiteout" and "Clockwork" sound similar?

The mysterious one is Ohno-san. Her blog is funny and playful, totally unlike her appearance.

>5 Her singing and looks can go toe-to-toe with Yurippe's, but singers are ultimately judged on looks. And when it comes to looks, Yurippe is miles ahead.

Come to think of it, I've only ever seen Ohno-san's face in the image on the official site's front page. Someone upload a picture where you can actually see her face.

>13 I saw her at the ZARD memorial concert (Fukuoka show). She looked about her age.

>13 http://hisazin-up.dyndns.org/up/src/85124.jpg http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=c6U9v3NGwRI&fmt=18

>15 Ah, this... Even as a Nana loyalist, I have to admit Yurippe wins by a mile.

>15 She's gross.

I want to have sex with Yurippe. Where should I go?

There's a Yurippe lookalike at a high-class Yoshiwara brothel. It costs 80,000 yen, though. I went on Christmas Eve. (^O^)

Maybe I should go to a soapland too...

http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=video&file=Gcup01.wmv The vibe is pretty similar.

I'm already crying, as someone who loves Ohno-san, right from the start. I never expected a GARNET thread to start talking about looks.

The gorilla talk is off-topic.

Kaori Mochida's voice is shot, and Ayumi Hamasaki can't hear either and her body is falling apart. Being signed to Avex Trash means getting used up and thrown away like a slave. Yurippe is lucky she can record and do live shows at her leisure with GIZA.

>22 Don't worry. In terms of how entertaining their diaries are: Aika Ohno >>>>>>> an impassable wall >>>>>>>>>>> Yurippe. I don't think looks are all that matter. That would be boring. Even Yuri-Nana would be disappointing if all they had was looks.

Nakamura and Ohno are both excellent composers. They must be making a fortune in royalties.

I like both Ohno-san and Yurippe.

Yurippe likes kimchi hot pot.

Let's talk about "whiteout" and "Clockwork"...

I want Yurippe to splash miso soup in my face.

Cold nights make you want to listen to "naked story," don't they? ♪

What's this about the diaries being entertaining? lol

At the end of "pray" at Ninnaji: "With tenderness in my heart, in the gap that creeps closer Stealing my footing, the pray of silence passing by" I can hear two versions of Yurippe's voice layered together... You can clearly hear the difference in particular on "itoshi-saa" and "seijaku-noo." It doesn't seem like they layered Yurippe's chorus vocals underneath during this live, so is this evidence of retouching...?

>33 That caught my attention too.

>33 They must have done something to that part, lol. The "pray" part sounded unstable during the actual live show, I think. Her voice seemed hoarse.

>35 You went?! Lucky~

Is there any song you'd like to hear Yurippe sing with her current voice? For me, probably "Timing," "Trans・Trap," "whiteout," and "dreaming of love."

"Towa ni Nemure," definitely.

"Natsu no Owari no Nagai Ame" -> 2003 SMAP -> 2002 So it wasn't plagiarism, right?

>39 They don't sound that similar. Saying that would be defamation, wouldn't it?

>40 I'm sorry. Please don't sue me. Sorry.

>33 I tried listening to just the audio (I extracted it). Most of the songs were pretty unstable and a long way from the CD recordings. Maybe the aura of Ninnaji was just incredibly strong.

But the first half of "pray" was good.

Yurippe singing elegantly in the wind during "Mizu no Nai..." is so cool.

They should set up fans or something for indoor live shows too. Maybe pump in some dry ice as well.

>42 >Maybe the aura of Ninnaji was just incredibly strong. That might be part of it, but maybe Yurippe's vocal adolescence ended and she developed an adult woman's voice. I've heard this year's live shows were good too.

Related thread: ▲ Hitoshi Okamoto part.5 ▲ http://mamono.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/compose/1207385161/

>33 Thanks for the insider leak. Must be nice having so much free time.

Ohno's probably better at composing. Yurippe specializes in minor-key, slow-burn songs, so they don't appeal to the general public as much.

Well, if you measure composing ability by sales, there's no way to win.

There's no need to compare them so deliberately. If you like a song, that's all that matters, right? I just like the songs Yurippe makes.

Ohno-san and Yurippe each have their own strengths. It's not simple enough to compare them and say one is better. I love them both, so I just listen to whichever one I feel like. What's wrong with that?

>47 Thanks for letting me know.

The person with amazing composing ability is Ai Otsuka, though.

The person with amazing composing ability is Kida Taro, though.

The person with amazing composing ability is Mr. Hitoshi Okamoto, though.

Changing the subject, what lyrics from GARNET songs so far have stuck with you? For me, "Uzai" from "For south," and "I'm an oni" from "Kakurenbo."

>57 "Disappear." No, I'm not saying >57 should disappear.

>57 If you die, you don't have to live.

>54 Ai Otsuka — NISSAY commercial http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=BHvHG-TQ_nw&feature=related The Beatles — "Here, There and Everywhere" http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=q1ufDdiK9xY The chorus melodies are way too similar.

>58 You gave me a scare for a second, lol.

>60 I see.

>57-59 You guys are so messed up, lol. Mine is "Mirage." I like the philosophical image in the words. And the way Yurippe happily sings the "There's always danger of falling~♪" part is great. (･∀･)

>57 "Dawn comes sooner than you thinkkkk, it coooomes!"

>57 The entirety of the lyrics to "Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu Keredo." They comforted me when I was depressed.

>63 Which song is "Mirage"?

http://en.akinator.com/ It guessed Yurippe on the first try and freaked me out, lol.

It gave me phimosis surgery.

That's an ad, lol. Press the play button on the left and answer the questions.

What is this? I don't get it.

>67 This seems suspicious. Could it be a site whose purpose is collecting usernames, genders, and ages?

>66 "Holy Ground." "Day by day, slipping beyond the mirage~"

>67 It guessed Yurippe for me too. Pretty fun, lol.

I uploaded it to Rina's board. Someone upload the calendar, please.

>57 The staged documentary.

>67 It really guessed her, lol. I answered about 35 questions, partly because I couldn't understand the English.

Eighteen-year-old girl.

Yurippe's beauty is abnormal.

Yurippe's beauty is the pure beauty of a virgin.

>72 Ahh~ I see. I searched with Lyric Get, but it didn't come up, so...

>57 It hits me so hard I can't move.

>57 The "YO!" in "For South" and the "Ahan" in "Kōfuku na Pet." Though they might not count as lyrics.

Ahh, I only now realized how much I regret buying the sixth album without the PV collection...

>57 In "call my name," the part that goes: "In the days I walk with you, keep layering coincidences until turning them into the wheel of fate~" There's a heart-shaped ring in the PV—do you think it's related to that?

The lyrics to "call my name" are god-tier overall. >64 I'm dying, lol.

>74 Thanks for uploading Paspara. It's a total broadcast-disaster reel, lol.

>57 In "Wasurezaki": "I keep putting a stop to things like love and romance~" It's a long line, but this part, lol.

>57 From "Kimi Tsure": "Because I want a relationship (ai) that never ends, I feared happiness deep in my heart." (Sorry if I got the kanji wrong.) That part. Reading the lyrics actually moved me. Kudos to Nana for making 関係 be read as 愛.

"If every day heading toward tomorrow without you is all just... like a way to kill time, even the blue sea I loved so much will never shine again~"

>57 I also love the second chorus of "Meguri Kuru Haru ni." But they skipped it at Ninnaji...

>89 Damn, that one hits me hard too. I really do like a lot of their lyrics, lol.

"call my name" is good no matter how many times I hear it. My family doesn't understand it, though, lol.

>92 I don't get why they don't understand it either.

"If you can still see the wishes you have more than enough of, I'll give you the time I have left."

This is a very late question, but is the sixth album being called "LOCKS" just a pun chain of 6th -> rokusu -> rokkusu -> LOCKS? Or is there another reason?

Looking at this, it really makes me appreciate Nana's lyrics all over again~

>95 That's right, so why are you asking now?

>95 ●The album title this time is a word that makes you curious about what kind of work it is just by reading it. How was this title decided? None of your previous album titles were just one word, were they? Nakamura Yuri (hereafter Nakamura): The album titles have gradually gotten shorter with each release, haven't they? (laughs) This title was decided when the album was beginning to take shape. Last year was our seventh anniversary since debut, so we had many opportunities to meet everyone outside of the production process, and we ended up holding a live show at Ninnaji. By having so many opportunities to interact with everyone, we wanted their hearts and our music to remain connected forever... So we chose the title with the feeling of being "locked together." It also plays on "roku," meaning six, since it's our sixth album. (laughs)

>95 The official explanation is: to firmly connect GARNET CROW and everyone else. Lock on to your heart! But the real origin was probably the pun you mentioned. That's exactly the sort of thing those members would do.

The winner of the 1959 Arima Kinen was Garnet. It was the first time a filly won. There's your trivia for today.

I watched the Ninnaji DVD. Yurippe was so captivating that I ended up really liking songs I hadn't liked that much before, like "Fantasia" and "Kimi Saru."

She's so much older than me, but she's adorable...

How can I lick Nana-sama's pussy?

Could GARNET CROW be handling the Detective Conan opening starting January 19? Mai Kuraki is releasing an album, and B'z probably don't have a new song yet.

>101 "Futari no Rocket" felt fresh too. Probably because she was actually projecting her voice, lol. "Cried a little" was so shocking it could almost pass as a new song.

>88 Oh, I love that one too.

Oh no! The Detective Conan anime is about to end! Get GARNET a theme song while there's still time!

>107 Huh? Isn't it just moving to a different time slot?

>108 It might end. It's a bit up in the air, lol.

I want another Tales tie-in. Maybe it was because of the release week, but DEEN debuted at number six on Oricon...

>107-109 The Mystery Tour is happening in Toyooka next, and its answer episode will be broadcast on TV, so cancellation has been avoided. At the moment, a time-slot move looks likely. Source: ttp://www.nnn.co.jp/news/081218/20081218010.html I'm debating whether to buy the DVD. Do you think I should?

Aren't the lyrics to "CANDY POP" great?

Maybe it's because the author of Conan got divorced.

Do we even need Conan anymore? The tie-ins don't really change the sales numbers these days. I don't know about the movies, though.

I'd rather have one live-action Conan than three anime Conans. Though that's absolutely impossible.

>57 Naked as a jaybird, naked as a jaybird, up into the sky~

Does GARNET have a stockpile of songs right now? Even if they don't, I hope they take their time making them...

Hurry up and release the next album already!

Girl Next Door rules!

>89 I was curious what song it was, so I searched through the indie album, then went through the singles one by one starting with "Mysterious Eyes" and checked the lyrics, which took quite a while. If I can't recognize a song I like immediately just from seeing the lyrics, I guess I haven't listened closely enough yet.

>120 You own every single?! Lucky~ I'm a fan only since last year, so I have about eight, orz.

I bought "flying" because I wanted to hear "Cried a little." It's a really good song.

Even though I want to hear the B-sides, none of the CD shops near me have any singles. Stupid idiots! By the way, if I start the fan club enrollment process now, it takes about a month to complete, right? Hmm? But don't you get the Ninnaji mini photo book as soon as they confirm your payment?

>121 I'm a fan since this year, so I have three singles, a multiple of three albums, and one best-of. (´･ω･｀) There's always someone with less.

>121 I've been a fan for about five years, but at first I only bought the albums. Then I bought the first DVD and a bit of "Jewel Fish" played, which caught my attention. I thought, "Then I have to hear the B-sides too," and collected them all. Now I'm so hooked on GARNET that I take a same-day round-trip highway bus from Matsuyama to Osaka just to attend their live shows.

>125 How old are you?

I buy my singles online.

>126 Since this is an anonymous board, it's probably better not to ask that. Unless you need to know for some reason.

The singles came out at a pretty fast pace, so if you became a fan recently, collecting them all at once must be tough. Though the total spending isn't any different from people who collected them from the beginning.

I'm a five-month fan too... But then I think, "It's only been five months?" Anyway, I want the old singles.

>130 If you want them, buy them! Or bring up a topic here like, "Which B-sides do you recommend?" The bored people here, myself included, will kindly answer you, so start collecting whichever titles or lyrics catch your interest!

I barely listened to "Crier~" because I could never figure out what they were singing. The instant I looked at a lyrics site, it shot into my top five favorite B-sides.

The early B-sides are high quality, so you really should listen to them. My recommendations: Jewel Fish (B-side of Last love) Yuudachi no Niwa (B-side of Spiral) Float World (B-side of Boku Darake no Mirai) Yasashii Ame (B-side of Kimi o Kazaru Hana o Sakasou) Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi (B-side of Kimi o Kazaru Hana o Sakasou)

The B-sides are way too good, lol.

>133 "Boku Darake," lol.

I can't believe such a cute girl composed "Stopped Clock~". My opinion of her just shot up.

>136 How old are you? Sixty? lol

Composer extraordinaire Yuri Nakamura.

Singles from before "Rai・Rai・Ya" are pretty hard to find, so the other day I used a one-day transit pass and wandered around Book Off, GEO, and places like that, lol. I visited about ten shops, and managed to buy three: "Crystal Gauge," "Mysterious Eyes," and "Kimi to Iu Hikari." I'm glad I found "Mysterious Eyes," which I thought I wouldn't—especially since it came with the obi and a Conan card.

I was surprised to find "Mysterious Eyes" in an old-book store I entered on a long shot. I got it for 100 yen, was so happy that I went to karaoke.

Yurippe is eternally 17.

Wouldn't they have some on Yahoo Auctions or something?

I have a bunch of singles I bought just to get posters at live venues. Could I sell the unopened ones for 500 yen on Yahoo Auctions?

>143 No way, right?

Don't buy used ＞＜

GあRNぇT くROう

>145 Why?

Virgin is best!

If you go to Animate or Sofmap, they normally have the singles with anime tie-ins in stock.

>149 kwsk.

You don't have to go out; you can get them right away through Amazon or some other mail-order service. You should be able to buy them even without a credit card. And even if they're used, they're usually pretty clean.

Just as stated. When I went to Animate the other day, they had a pretty complete selection of Conan and MÄR CDs.

(^。^)y-~

[Gendai] "Singer Too Beautiful": GIZA artist Yuri Nakamura rumored to move to Avex; Nikkan Gendai says the music industry's talent shortage is severe. http://mamono.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1230599525/

>147 Used purchases don't count toward the artists' sales. If there's no other way to find it or you don't have the money, then it can't be helped, but new is best if possible. If you only want to listen to the songs, you can download them from BGV too.

>155 Yeah, yeah. If I'm buying it anyway, I want the money to warm the members' pockets.

Are the lyrics to "The Most Wonderful Day" erotic?

I bought the first-press edition of "Hyakunen no Kodoku" brand new.

>131 Thanks. But almost all of GARNET's B-sides are good, so there's no need to ask for recommendations, lol.

>159 That "almost" is bothering me.

I was just exaggerating, so don't worry about it.

>155 Either way, it just becomes GIZA's profit. The members don't see any of it.

Even at GIZA, the royalties do go to the actual songwriter.

Even if a store doesn't have it normally, they can order it for you. As long as you have the money, you can complete the collection in a week. >57 "I'm wishing that you will be happy, please don't forget."

Profit matters, but the number of copies sold matters too. Many drops make a river. Having the same CD circulate used over and over is a real waste. Buying at a live show and going for the poster might be a good idea too. Though who knows when the next one will be, lol.

Well, mine's used, lol.

>154 Links like this are always the "you've been fooled again..." routine, so I'm not clicking it. (`･ω･´)ｼｬｷｰﾝ

Random question: Do you like "Kyou no Kimi to Ashita o Matsu," "picture of world," and "WEEK END"? I was just wondering.

>168 I do d=(^o^)=b

>168 What do you mean? They're just god-tier songs.

Good. I hadn't really seen many positive opinions about them...

Isn't "pow" pretty highly regarded?

I've only ever seen positive opinions.

>170 So in the end, every song is god-tier, isn't it? lol

What about "wonder land" and "lose feeling"?

>168 I love them~! Especially "Kyou no Kimi~" and that "saa-a, yay-yeh~!" part—they sometimes suddenly start playing in my head and make it impossible to work, lol. >175 What do you mean? Just god-tier s(ry The lyrics to "lose feeling" are godly.

This is a pretty good fan site.

>143 Do you get a poster if you buy a CD at a live show?

Way too many GARNET fan club members join just to resell the newsletters.

>179 Those people aren't comrades, lol.

Fan club newsletters, live tickets, fan-club-exclusive goods (calendars and so on)... If you sell all of that, you can make a decent profit. There are plenty of idiots willing to buy it too.

Before I die, I want to go to the Ninnaji live one more time, even just once. I'll go to work early, finish everything before quitting time, and head to Kyoto as soon as work ends. Under the susuki grass and half-moon, surrounded by the scent of historic temples and shrines, Yurippe welcomes us with, "The sing-together corner~." While we're learning our team's part, Nana and Osan keep the rhythm on tambourines (seriously, we're grateful). Once the actual show starts, everyone gets lost in the singing, pretending they know the lyrics even though they only half remember them. But before I can hear the whole thing, I start getting sleepy around "Holy ground," and my vision gradually whites out while I wave my glow stick. I don't want to let go of the light on the stage where everyone is, but eventually I lose consciousness... And then I want to die.

Watching Kohaku, I saw people waving glow sticks and it reminded me of the live show. It also reminded me of Yurippe's passionate performance of "Boku Darake no Mirai" at NHK Hall. Anyway, have a great New Year, everyone. m(__)m

See you all next year!

I'm ringing in the New Year with the Ninnaji DVD~

Everyone, it's goodbye until next year.

So, what should I listen to for New Year's?

Ninnaji freaks are sooooo annoying!!

>187 Garnet shopping.

>189 So that's what you went with. Since it's the end of the year, and it's a relatively upbeat song, I'm planning on "Secret Path."

>182 Yuri: "In this place where I sing, I won't let you be taken to the dark kingdom."

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, and best wishes for the year ahead.

Yeah, yeah, Happy New Year, Happy New Year.

The Loneliness of "Happy New Year."

How do you draw a fortune slip again?

>197 Type !omikuji!dama in the name field.

Happy 2009!

Mistake.

>198 Thanks.

Test.

Happy New Year, Nana-sama.

Happy New Year, and please take care of me this year.

I'm late, lol. Happy New Year~ lol.

Happy New Year, and best wishes for the year ahead.

Poo~!

Is this how it works? I'll continue supporting them lukewarmly this year too.

Haaappy Neeew Yeeear~

I wonder if the DVD commercial will come on CDTV? Are they not airing it anymore? If they ran it now, they could probably expect to gain more fans...

I messed up.

Happy New Year~ I hope we get to hear some neo-acoustic-style songs this year...

Happy New Year~

Happy New Year~

I messed up.

Happy New Year~ For some reason, when I think of New Year's, I think of the third-album arrangement of "Yume Mita Ato de."

Late to the Happy New Year party.

Test.

Just testing the waters by saying I'd like to see Yurippe dressed as a shrine maiden.

My first masturbation material of the year was Nana-sama. Phew...

Test.

>221 I messed up, orz.

May the world someday be wrapped in gentle light...

May I find happiness...

>221 lol.

>223 Nice work, hypocrite.

It's finally 2009. I hope the members are careful. Osan: main unlucky year Yurippe: year before her unlucky year Mochi: directional misfortune

Nana-san is in her zodiac year!

>227 How did you know?

The other day I finally bought the fiber-looking CD. Glad it came with a karaoke version. The Ninnaji live was the best! I wish I'd been on Furui's team.

They were selling a "Kimi'nchi" CD for 100 yen.

>231 I don't think my house has ever sold any GARNET CDs...

>231 Ah, I get it. It's short for "Until I Reach Your House..." Finally figured it out.

>227 I'm in the year before my unlucky year too, same as Yurippe. Yurippe is much older than me, but it still makes me feel kind of connected, lol.

>227 Nana's in trouble too. Women have two cycles of unlucky years in their thirties. This is Nana's second main unlucky year. Yurippe is probably in hers too, since she's 33 by traditional age reckoning. Degree of danger: Yurippe's unlucky year >>> Nana's unlucky year

Yurippe (her voice) and Nana-sama (her looks) both had long childhoods, so maybe their unlucky years arrive later than they do for ordinary women?

What happens if you check GARNET's birthday as March 29, 2000?

>237 Unlucky years are a concept designed for natural persons. They don't apply to groups.

The new Conan opening is apparently by Mai Kuraki. GARNET's Detective Conan movie theme is starting to feel like a real possibility.

Wait, I feel like I saw that the movie was going to be Aiuchi...?

>240 You might regret getting your hopes up...

One was in the bed by the window, and the other was in the bed by the door. Both were bedridden, but the man by the window would tell the man by the door what he could see outside. "The sky is blue without a cloud today." "The cherry blossoms are blooming." "The swallows built a nest." Thanks to those conversations, the two of them spent their remaining days peacefully despite being close to death. One night, the condition of the man by the window suddenly worsened. It looked like he couldn't reach the nurse call button himself. The man by the door reached for the call button. But he stopped his hand before pressing it. "If that guy dies, I'll be able to see the view outside the window for myself..." Thinking that their lives were both nearing the end anyway, and wanting to spend even a little more time in peace, the man by the door pretended to be asleep and let the man by the window die. The man by the window died just like that. After happily moving into the bed by the window, the man by the door looked outside and saw a bare concrete wall.

>241 Aiuchi probably won't get it. She just did it two movies ago. (；ﾟДﾟ) Strong contenders for the Detective Conan movie theme song: 1st: Mai Kuraki 2nd: GARNET CROW (first time) 3rd: Naifu (first time) It's about time GARNET got picked, seriously.

Kuraki's releasing an album, so probably not. Given the timing, I think GARNET has a shot, thoughhhh.

Dark horse: Miho Komatsu.

>245 According to the Conan thread, the new opening is apparently by Mai Kuraki.

>247 Already covered. >240 We're talking about the movie now.

>246 I'd be thrilled if that happened.

ZARD.

>246 Is it all loose down there?

>251 Abbreviation for what?

>251 What does "gaba-gaba" mean?

Her pussy, obviously.

2009

I was remembering the days when I became a fan.

>243 So Nana and Yurippe are incredibly beautiful in PVs and fantasies, but when you meet them in person, they're ugly old ladies and you're disappointed, right? I get it.

Yurippe and Nana are the type who look even better in person than on video.

Okamochi is Hosshan. Nana-sama is Manami Honjo. Osan is Norihiko Machida. Yuri is a kokeshi doll.

Yurippe is Mai Yuki from the gravure scene. They look way too similar, lol.

By the way, this is the person: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3796091

>260 There are certainly some similarities, but it's not like they're "too similar."

If they were manga characters: Nana → Pyonkichi Yurippe → Q-taro

Nakamura, Azuki, and Furui—and who was the other one again?

>258 That's already wishful thinking.

No, Gane in person is beautiful. Compared to the audience, even Mochi looked beautiful, lol.

I don't know about in person, but Yuri, Nana, and Osan look just as cool in pictures and videos. As for Mochi, she can stay a being that only exists in (recent) jacket photos... Mochi's photo magic has become god-tier lately, lol.

Regarding the large number of videos of Rie Sugatani being uploaded: http://jp.youtube.com/profile?user=fukahiresugatani&view=videos

Don't call me Sugatani Rie~! (pouting)

Tears' Yesterday♪

I like azuki bars, I do (`･ω･´)ｼｬｷｰﾝ

I wanted to ask about the lyrics: Is "Jewel fish" a traffic accident? Is "Endless Desire" a plane crash?

>272 I didn't make that kind of association. Well, interpretations of lyrics are up to you, though.

>268 First time seeing her... It's got that "whoa..." kind of vibe.

>268 Is the person shouting "Rie-saaan~" at live shows a fan from back in that era?

>268 "The day before yesterday's job was at Mister Donut, saying 'Welcome!'" Was AZUKI working part-time at Mister Donut during her student days, lol?

>274 I've gotten pretty used to seeing her by now, so sometimes I actually prefer Sugatani to Nana... orz

Mochi is desperate so Yurippe will take her in. That's why she licks the feet of S-dom Yurippe every day.

Of course even Mochi would lick some feet, lol.

A weirdo showed up first thing in the new year, lol.

Mochi is boiling Yurippe's nail grime and drinking it.

Mochi needs to boil the nail grime of both Yurippe and Osan and drink it.

>268 This is... I'm going to take my time looking at it.

I wanna lick Yurippe's feet after they've gotten all sweaty inside her boots (；´ω｀) I wanna splatter cum all over those sour-smelling feet.

>268 So Nana-sama used to have monolids back then.

Despite the bad image quality, she clearly looks double-lidded to me.

>268 Nana-san doesn't really look that different whether she was a teenager or in her thirties.

I'm visiting my hometown right now and can't see it, which sucks. Will it still be there by the time I get back?

>268 She must have dressed in cosplay and slept with all sorts of men, lol.

Yurippe hasn't done pillow work, right?!

>290 If she'd done that, she'd definitely give off that kind of vibe, so don't worry, lol.

What a relief. If Yurippe weren't a virgin, I'd lose faith in humanity.

Yurippe's virginity was taken by Nana-sama ages ago.

If it was Nana-sama... I guess it can't be helped...;

Japan has been abandoned. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20090102-00000510-san-soci

You guys, don't go spouting whatever you want about Yurippe being a virgin and Nana-sama doing pillow work, lol. Insult Nana-sama and I'll fucking kill you.

Pour some hot water over it.

Serious answer: Sugatani = Nana-sama?

I had a New Year's first dream about marrying Yurippe, so I'm a winner ★

>298 Newbie?

I wish they'd just make it clear already whether it's Sugaya or Sugatani.

>299 Me too.

Before drawing an omikuji at my first shrine visit of the year, I told myself, "If I get daikichi, I'll be able to marry Yurippe someday," and then I actually got daikichi. I'm a total winner.

>301 She clearly introduces herself saying, "Good evening, I'm Rie Sugatani," though...

>304 Oh, really? thx

Yurippe is a virgin!!!!!!!!!!

Yurippe has huge tits.

Unfortunately...

Nana-san, that's awful. She's a mother of one these days. Women are scary.

Nana-san was more feminine back then. Did meeting Yurippe turn her into more of a manly type?

>289 > >268 > She must have dressed in cosplay and slept with all sorts of men, lol. Depressing...

So that's why she became a lesbian, huh.

Yurippe, the femme fatale who captivates both men and women.

AZUKI is crazy about Yurippe because she doesn't have the grimy, sordid stuff you often see in showbiz. Yurippe's virginity is something AZUKI envies.

There probably is something to that—the charms Yurippe has that AZUKI-san doesn't.

Mochi's appeal is his smirking face and virgin vibe.

Mochi is the soft, pudgy type.

>316 Mochi had a full-on social life in college and seems like the type who'd make moves on young girls, so I don't get a virgin vibe from him at all.

Nana-san really does feel like she's seen nothing but the ugly side of the world.

Does Mochi sing backup on "Mr. Holiday"?

Now that their singing ability has improved this much, I think they can proudly appear on Kohaku this year. A Kohaku with Ai Otsuka and Yurippe would be the best.

>322 We think alike.

Mochi failed Kyoto University and went to Doshisha Engineering. Nana-san went to Kyoto University Literature. Yuri-san went to Kwansei Gakuin Literature. Osan went to Meiji Gakuin.

Those are some seriously impressive academic credentials.

>324 > Nana-san went to Kyoto University Literature. If that were true, it should've been talked about back when she was the talent Rie Sugatani. Must be a different university. > Yurippe went to Kwansei Gakuin Literature. I've heard she graduated from Kyoto Prefectural High School, then Giza Creators School.

If Yurippe graduated from Kwansei Gakuin, doesn't that mean she debuted while still enrolled?

The indie period would have been while she was still enrolled, but wouldn't her debut have been around right after graduation? I have heard she graduated from university, though I don't know which one.

>309 For real?

Other than Mochi graduating from Doshisha University, there are no sources for any of this, right? Also, wasn't Yurippe working at GIZA before the band was formed? So maybe she didn't graduate from university after all?

Do you really care that much about academic backgrounds?

Doesn't tree-atter me.

Yeah, it doesn't. She's got the track record, after all.

Could someone post a link to Okamocchi's thread?

>47

Thanks. So it moved over from the indie board, huh.

>326 Yurippe is from Kyoto R High; the vocational school part is correct.

Yurippe was Komatsu's junior, so wouldn't that make it Kwansei Gakuin University? It wouldn't be strange if her debut had been decided while she was still enrolled.

But Yurippe had been composing since high school, right? It's not like she was in a band, so I wonder if she was stockpiling songs to offer to other people. Good thing they got good lyrics and arrangements and were able to sing them themselves.

But Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Kaori Mochida, all the same age, are successful, while Yuri Nakamura and Aika Ohno are totally unsuccessful, huh.

With looks like that, being a Kwansei Gakuin graduate too would make her way too perfect.

>340 Those two are composers, after all.

By ordinary people's definition, Yurippe is a singer, right?

I don't look up to people like Amuro, Ayu, and Mochida—tattoos, plastic surgery, smoking even though they're singers. Even if your income is high, if your spending is high too, you can end up like Komuro at worst. I'd rather have someone like Yurippe steadily making great songs and entertaining her fans.

>268 AZUKI-san hasn't changed a bit~ This woman definitely used to do tons of naughty stuff, right?

Actually, Nana-san's very existence is obscene. Whether she gets you off is a separate matter, though.

AZUKI-san seems like she had already tasted life's bitter and sweet before joining GARNET CROW. Yurippe gives off the image of a sheltered, naturally airheaded rich girl.

Nana-sama was seriously lucky to meet Yurippe. A bard-like life must be happier than a life of cosplaying to please men.

Yurippe has the looks, class, and virginity, plus a privileged musical environment and talent. Isn't she a born winner?

That expression mixing calculatedness with a slightly troubled look is irresistible. Actually, she hasn't changed much from now. She's really grown into quite a woman.

The light called Yurippe.

>349 But she probably didn't get this far on talent alone. It's precisely because she works hard where no one can see.

>351 "Light to the Far Side." So that's what it meant...

Are Nana-san and Yurippe dating? I saw them holding hands on M Sta before and thought it was the real deal.

http://x70.peps.jp/garnetnana/nbbs/?guid=on&cn=7

Have any of GARNET CROW's songs ever appeared on an intro quiz?

>356 It wouldn't get the crowd going. Even if you gave the answer, people wouldn't know what it was.

No way.

If a GARNET CROW song played in an intro quiz, I'd recognize it in an instant and excitedly blurt out the answer, lol.

『Da-da-da-da-da-da-da…』 Ding! "Too early! (ﾟДﾟ)"

Yurippe is insanely adorable ☆

I kept thinking the intro to "whiteout" sounded like something~ I just figured it out. It's "Happy days?"

Why is Yurippe so cute?

>345 > >268 > AZUKI-san hasn't changed a bit~ > This woman definitely used to do tons of naughty stuff, right? > orz

>362 Ai-chan's?

Is Nana-san cute? Isn't it kind of cringe?

Nana is past the age where you can call her cute, isn't she? There probably aren't many people in this thread older than Nana.

>354 She's not a lesbian, but apparently holding hands calms her down. Apparently if she doesn't hold hands, she gets so nervous that she pees herself. Because she's a virgin. It's a famous story among people in the know.

>365 This is the GARNET CROW thread.

>368 Is that made up?

The only part that's right is Yurippe being a virgin.

Mochi and I are fellow cherry boys (^O^)

Me too, lol.

Not just a cherry boy—I've never even held hands with anyone. I can't even look a girl in the eye while talking to her, so I can't help it.

>371 Even that is questionable. I can't exactly say she's not a virgin, either, but we should probably stop talking about this, since some liar always shows up and starts making things up.

Chaos Rod.

The members are on the radio. They said they'd like to do fan events and a countdown event this year. Nana-san said everyone should come in costume for the events.

>374 You must be a total creep, right?

A mirage, lol.

They revealed that the person in the mysterious black cloak was Nana-san.

>378 No, there are plenty of good-looking guys like that too. It's hard to say whether >374 is good-looking, though...

Mochi said on the radio that Nana-san wants to hold a countdown live, but is that for real? lol

The old guy's deep voice was lovely. Yurippe had a Kansai accent. Why doesn't she speak in Kansai dialect? It's a local Kansai radio show, after all.

Apparently she said she wants to dress up. Please don't make the audience come in costume too. Do "dress-up" and cosplay mean the same thing?

Recently there's been one person who keeps wanting to bring up Ai Otsuka's name. Does she have anything to do with GARNET CROW?

The "Spiral" on the best album is apparently the Sports version, but was anything changed from the single?

>387 The singing style is completely different. It's easier to make out, or something... but I prefer the single version.

>387 The vocals on the Sports version have a kind of boomy, live-recording echo and stand out more than the accompaniment, so it has more presence and impact. Compared to that, the single version is more subdued and blends into the accompaniment. You can tell right away if you listen to them side by side.

Oh, so there was that much of a difference. Thanks, I'll listen more closely.

The vocal take on the Sports version feels closer to the way she sings now. It's a little gritty, but a steady, powerful singing voice. The single version feels like early GARNET CROW: a fragile but gentle, cute singing voice. I like both.

Hand-drawn Yurippe http://aki.cside.to/gallery/graffiti/020703.jpg

>392 Her boobs are way too big. This isn't Yurippe.

>392 It plainly says Claire Redfield all over it.

Hey, has anyone managed to translate the English at the end of "Yuudachi no Niwa" that isn't printed on the lyric card? I jotted it down from a lyric comment on Niconico, but I'm bad at English and don't understand it... Translation sites spit out gibberish too, so please translate it for me.

I think it's fairly easy English, and you should be able to translate it if you know the idioms. It's a short passage, so if you look up the meanings of the words you can mostly figure it out. But I'm really busy right now, lol. Somebody else, good luck.

I guess I'll pull out a dictionary for the first time since I was a student, lol.

That said, I'll give it a shot: Like the falling love "Like falling out of love"

What wanna one ?. It's the summer rain. When he is calling like. Like the falling love. Look a part in away. Move the shiny away. It's the summer days. The lyric comments on Niconico and a certain blogger's comment are exactly the same. So that was the person who wrote it... This English part hasn't been officially released, right?

What wanna one ?. It's the summer rain. That's summer rain. When he is calling like. Like the falling love. Like falling out of love Look a part in away. Move the shiny away. It's the summer days Those are summer days

Look a part in away. Look! Play that part again, lol.

In that case, wouldn't "Look at the part again" be better?

At least it looks like they're working on a new song, so that's a relief. If we're talking about a song where you can't tell where the chorus is, that's "U." The thought that something as tricky as that might be coming has me hyped. Recording at this point probably means the single after next, or a B-side. At the farthest, it could be a candidate album track for the seventh album. Can't wait!

>293 Since it was Nana-sama, she probably treated her gently, so that's reassuring. I wonder where she got it from... Imagining Yurippe bright red, enduring the pain and embarrassment, is just too much.

Which single is "Yuudachi no Niwa" a B-side on?

I actually kind of like "U."

>405 "Spiral."

>403 More than "U," it has to be "lose feeling." The shock of hearing it for the first time was the biggest. "Mizu no Nai..." also gives the impression that the entire song is a chorus. For a single, maybe "Maboroshi." I don't know much about music, but I hate it when they connect a different song at the chorus.

Nana-sama's English grammar is a total mess, so translation sites are no help.

>408 Like "Mayonaka no Shadow Boy"?

Translation sites are useless even when the grammar is correct, lol.

Here, take this: Translation Konnyaku.

>409 So the grammar really is a total mess? Well, English is hard, so it can't be helped...

Is the ending of "Yuudachi no Niwa" a sentence structure that doesn't actually exist?

For me, who had fallen in love, the voice of my beloved calling to me was like rain falling on a summer day. Everything looked different, and everything began to shine. That was something that happened one summer day.

"part in away" is incomprehensible... This isn't an idiom either, is it?

Most songs probably fall into one of these categories: 1. Stretching out the note before the chorus — e.g. "Yume Mita Ato de," "call my name" 2. Building up the gear A → B → C — e.g. "flying" 3. Going into the chorus without giving you any warning — e.g. "lose feeling," "Maboroshi" 4. Forcing it? — e.g. "Nakenai Yoru mo Nakanai Asa mo" The songs I dislike are concentrated in category 1, but there are lots of songs I like in it too, so it has nothing to do with my personal preferences.

The top Kohaku ratings belonged to Shuchishin. So now we don't have to get all gloomy about popularity and stuff anymore.

"Like the falling love"—shouldn't it be "like falling in love" rather than "like falling out of love"?

>419 Correction: "falling in love" → "like falling in love"

GARNET CROW has no glamour. The big guy with the sunglasses looks like a magician. The other short guy looks like a NEET. Even the band name sounds like some kind of special move.

Ah, sorry... What was I saying about heartbreak...

>421 Yurippe and Nana are the glamour, though. But age-wise, it's already too late.

>421 I like them because they don't compete on glamour. That's why I hate Avex.

>415 The prose is pretty, but maybe you took too many liberties with the translation.

The one who looks like a NEET graduated from Doshisha University's engineering department. You really can't judge people by appearances.

Turning down the winner's path to a high income and chasing your dream of becoming a guitarist—that's pretty damn inspiring.

I mean, anyone who bashes Mochi despite him being highly educated and basically a young nobleman is just jealous.

Osan and Mochi are company employees, right? Did academic background matter when they were hired?

Rather than glamour, their gravitas has been incredible lately.

You guys are really good at English! But "part in away" is still a mystery... Is "Everything looked different" okay? I wanna ask GARNET CROW directly!!!

In "I like a dream" from "Natsu no Maboroshi," "dreams" would be grammatically correct, but maybe it's intentional. And I suppose you could translate it as "I who am like a dream."

Ah, "I who am like a dream" doesn't work, huh.

This morning, there was someone who looked like Nana-san on the JR Biwako Line New Rapid bound for Himeji. Could it have been her? She's from Shiga Prefecture, right? Maybe she was heading back after visiting her hometown. By the way, she got off at Kyoto.

If she's dressed all in black and acting suspiciously, it's Nana-sama.

Was Nana-san alone?

>434 Sorry, that was my older sister.

What was the original track order for the fifth album?

Can someone upload Paspara, please~

Wouldn't it be "like to fall in love"?

Is there some reason why the arrangement of "Yuudachi no Niwa" is almost exactly the same as The Police's "Every Breath You Take"?

Yeah, alone. I think she had a gray or black coat, a black? scarf, gray pants, and short black hair. It really might have been Nana-san.

It might have been Nana-san. I saw Yurippe in the Kyoto Station subway once before. She was wearing a mask.

>441 Is that arrangement of The Police's "Every Breath You Take" on YouTube? I found the normal version, but...

>439 Someone uploaded it to Niconico.

>443 Does Yurippe usually wear her hair in a ponytail? Or only when she appears in public?

>445 Thanks for the info.

Whoa... Yurippe's insides are warm, nari~

It'll be coming by email soon anyway. GARNET CROW new single "MALICE" 01-MALICE 02-Polaris Signal 03-過ぎ去りしあをき日々 04-MALICE (instrumental) Theme song for the Detective Conan movie "The Raven Chaser" Congrats, you guys, on your first Detective Conan movie theme song, lol.

"Kurudashi" is just my trademark phrasing, lol.

Is that for real? If so, that's two movies in a row with their theme song.

Malice Mizer is here ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!

MALICE = malice? That's what it means, right?

You're really passionate about music. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=9G4TcwyTLHc&feature=related

If that's real information, >449 is Mochi.

>446 It was a transformation from a ponytail into a bun. Leopard-print jacket, sneakers with gold stripes, and a gold bag. The jacket was one she'd worn in some PV.

So when's the release date?

What is that, she looks like an Osaka auntie.

Do we have to wait around four months?

Isn't >449 just the kind of fake rumor people make around the time of a Detective Conan movie screening?

>458 Maybe she was matching everyone around her so she wouldn't stand out on the streets of Osaka?

>460 Judging by the nine w's at the end, I guess that's what it is. MALICE must be expressing his own intentions.

>462 That is seriously overthinking it. I couldn't help laughing, lol.

In Paspara, Yurippe said she's recording a song right now—the one Nana-san said she couldn't tell where the chorus was. I really want to hear it.

>458 Not "like" an Osaka auntie—she's already an Osaka auntie in name and in fact, so it wouldn't be wrong to call her that. And she was wearing a mask then, right? If so, couldn't you barely see her face??

>465 If you love Yurippe, you should be able to recognize her just from her eyes and the area around them. Well, apparently there are lots of people who look like her, so I can't rule out the possibility of mistaken identity.

Identify her by the mole on her neck.

>467 Lots of people are wearing scarves and the like this time of year, though. Are you going to say, "Excuse me, could you show me your neck for a second"?

I recognized her by her eyes.

>448 It's warm inside Yurippe too (^-)v

So they're not including an instrumental of the B-side...

CG Yurippe http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/4FF9D030-7345-418A-A08D-7715294ACFB3/0/ilmintv08_img01.jpg

Which GARNET CROW song has your favorite intro? Mine is "picture of world."

I like "Hare Tokei"~

"Yuudachi no Niwa" and "Yonde Watashi no Namae."

>475 "Yonde Watashi no Namae" (lol) is a song Osan really likes, after all.

>473 "in little time."

>476 Huh? Osan? Who's that?

>473 "Before the Rain Starts Falling."

>478 Furui-san.

>480 You like Furui-san? That's the first I've heard of it!

>473 "Yuuzuki yo."

Mochi's diary.

For those using the 2009 calendar, do you tear off the pages and use it that way?

The homepage had "Happy New Year" written above the GARNET CROW section before I even noticed. Is this also part of the website improvements Furui-san mentioned?

>485 Maybe the staff who heard Furui-san's words hurriedly changed it when they went back to work, lol.

So this is the winter song GARNET CROW thinks of, lol?

>479 It's cool, right? I like it too! But it's not GARNET CROW, lol.

>487 What are you talking about?

>485 But didn't something similar happen last year too?

>489 I think they're talking about "Yume Mita Ato de - light in ......," the song that plays first on the official website.

>491 I see. Thanks.

>473 "Kakenukeru" is the obvious choice.

When we're talking about the best intro, I can't think of anything but "Haru Matsu Hana no You ni."

"wish★" is a ripoff of DAIGO.

The one whose intro I thought was good was "Saigo no Ritou."

The intro that gets me all excited and in the mood is "Naked story."

The one with the coolest intro is "The beginning of This Is the Last Love Song goes~♪"

The intro to "Lining Up Fibrous Words" is pretty great too!

>499 Agreed, lol. This one is the strongest. And the shiver-inducing feeling of "Maboroshi" is irresistible too, lol.

The intros to "in little time," "Kakenukeru Bokura," and "Mizu no Nai Hareta Umi e" are all cool. I also like Float World's floaty feeling. Flying's intro that comes rushing toward you is good too.

It's insanely underrated—it's ranked below 1,000 despite being an incredible song.

Speaking of which, haven't we forgotten "Wasurezaki"?

I like the intro to "Love is a Bird."

In "Saigo no Love Song," ﾁｬﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗﾗﾝ　ハッハハ〜ハ〜ン 　　　　　　　　　　↑that chorus is incredible.

>505 I know what you mean, lol.

>505 Stop translating it weirdly. You remind me of the guy ages ago who translated "Mysterious Eyes" as "Mystery Eyes."

Probably "Kakenukeru Eien~." Yurippe's wriggly dance to the rhythm is irresistible.

Last Love is Last Love, you know.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.

>479 This is the only one I can't figure out what song it is.

>479 ...ZARD?

>512 Correct. Ding-ding!

>513 What do you mean, "ding-ding"? lol

As the ZARD fan who said "it's cool" earlier, I feel a little weird saying this, but it's off-topic, so let's stop. Personally, hearing the intro to "Kimi no Ie~" makes me feel incredibly at ease, lol. I also like the intros to "Endless Desire" and "Trans Trap."

For you guys who don't believe it: つ 【GARNET CROW's new single chosen as the theme song for a Conan movie for the first time!】 GARNET CROW will release the new single "MALICE" this spring. The new song will be the theme song for the popular anime Detective Conan movie "Detective Conan: The Raven Chaser." GARNET CROW has previously provided songs used as opening and ending themes for the anime, but being chosen for a Detective Conan movie theme is a first. This release, which perfectly fuses the movie's dark world with an eerie atmosphere, is scheduled to come out in three versions. In addition to the standard edition, First Press Edition A will include recording footage—showing the members working on everything from composing and writing the lyrics for "MALICE" to arranging it—that they're showing fans for the first time. First Press Edition B will include the new song's promotional video. As GARNET CROW grandly opens 2009 with a movie theme song, they'll surely remain impossible to take your eyes off this year too. ※Track list and price TBD GARNET CROW's new single "MALICE" scheduled for release this spring.

Anyway: × Movie theme meeting ○ Movie theme song Just testing the waters by pointing that out.

>516 You mixed plain "da" style with polite "desu" style. You should start by studying composition.

>518 It's a repost, so I don't know what to tell you, lol.

>519 Then show us the source.

・The crucial movie release date isn't stated. ・It's unclear whether it says "will release" or "scheduled for release"—the wording is ambiguous. Information value: 0 points.

Even Yumi Shizukusa can appear on MUSIC JAPAN, huh.

>503 The Conan ending that's being rebroadcast here right now.

>516 How do you pronounce the song title?

It's "Malice," right? But the sentence "being chosen is a first attempt"—what kind of Japanese is that? It makes the whole thing hard to believe.

>525 Thanks. So it's pronounced "Malice"...

>516 Didn't they proofread this before publishing it? It's nothing but weird parts.

"Perfectly fuses the dark world with an eerie atmosphere" also makes me go, "Uh... really?"

If >516 was really written by a journalist, that's beyond wage theft, lol. It's the level of journalist who'd get fired before a temp worker.

I think this announcement is way too early.

>516 Of course it wouldn't show up on Google, lol. It hasn't even been announced to fan club members yet.

>530 It's already a foregone conclusion, so it doesn't matter, lol. At this point, once Mai Kuraki was chosen for Conan's new opening, it was decided that GARNET CROW would do the theme song. B'z being chosen: 100% not happening. The gap since their last time is still too short. Naifu being chosen: basically impossible. Mai Kuraki can't release one album and two new songs all at once, lol. Therefore, GARNET CROW is the only artist who can handle the theatrical version.

>531 Of course it wouldn't show up, lol. It hasn't even been disclosed to fan club members yet. They'll probably send an email to G-NET members sometime tonight.

Of course no FC member could know about a conclusion based on your own personal speculation, lol. Enough in this thread. Go cause a scene wherever you like—on a fan site, Mixi, whatever.

All the text on the homepage has turned into □, so I can't read any of the text... The site itself displays fine, though. Does anyone know why?

>535 Try setting it to: Page ↓ Encoding ↓ Auto-select

So which is it, fake or real?

>449 The B-side is already decided there...

If this is real, then >449 must be staff or something. They just want to brag, "My info is fast, right~?" Otherwise, it's simply a lie. So probability-wise, it has to be a lie.

Even if the chances of GARNET CROW being chosen are high, we won't know until it's officially announced. Let's wait patiently while listening to a legendary Paspara episode. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5756183 http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5756222

>536 Thanks. But it still doesn't work, orz.

What was everyone's favorite GARNET CROW song from 2008? Mine changes with my mood, so it's hard to say, but maybe "もう一度笑って." Though "love lone ster" is hard to let go of too.

>542 Maybe "Mr. Holiday."

I'm digging Mr.~

"First cry."

>542 Probably "Short Summer." Personally, there wasn't any huge hit.

Yurippe said there's a little easter egg in "Shiawase na Pet," but what does she mean? She said you'd know if you listened all the way to the end...

♪

>542 "Love is a Bird."

>542 Repeating it, but I still have "Short Summer" on heavy rotation, lol. I'm usually an album-track person, but maybe there wasn't a song on the sixth album that I got really hooked on.

>542 "Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu keredo." Because this is the quintessential GARNET CROW song. It really has to be a ballad.

What are they singing in English after the third chorus of the indie-era "Kiminchi"? And if you can, please answer >547 too...

>542 "Futari."

They're saying GARNET CROW is being chosen as the Detective Conan movie theme song. Is it for real?

>542 It was a topic in the Yuri-Nana thread too, and "Love is a Bird" and "The First Cry" seem to be popular. http://mamono.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1220156951/654-671

That nationally beloved artist group GARNET CROW is finally becoming a pachinko machine! Featuring a popular battle mode and an incredible Spiral% continuation rate! Return some incomprehensible thing to the heavens! CR GARNET CROW

When Osan takes off his sunglasses, the jackpot mode starts.

When Yurippe takes off her clothes, it's Special Fever mode, lol.

"7" "Boar" "7" = jackpot.

The single "Yume no Hitotsu" leaves absolutely no impression on me. Isn't its chorus the same as "Yume Mita Ato de"? The titles are similar too.

Huh? Isn't it totally different?

"Yume no Hitotsu" has basically the same key as the simple "Yume Mita~," but it keeps modulating throughout the song. I think the melodies are different too. Since similar instruments like piano and acoustic guitar are prominent, it only seems like they have the same atmosphere.

This year's Detective Conan movie is by U-ka Saegusa.

>563 If it's Saegusa, I'm not going to see the movie. Anyway, there's no way—Saegusa, seriously... She just did it as a duet in the movie before last.

Saegusa just did it recently, so there's no way.

>542 Maybe "Secret Path."

They'll play "Graduation" (composed by Yurippe) on Detective Conan, deshi~ (o^-ﾟ)db(^-^o)

Did you guys go to Sugatani Shrine?

>568 Of course.

So when is the 2008 live DVD coming out? The first night in Tokyo would be nice. The singing was great, and I want to see Yurippe's wry smile again when she dropped an earring or something, lol.

>570 Hey! Put the "-ppe" on it! The first night was good, but I want to hear "Garnet Shopping" from the second night. I wonder if they'll cut the MC again.

I attended the second night in Tokyo, but were cameras rolling on the first night? They were rolling on the second night.

No, apparently it really is Saegusa. It would be her first time under the Saegusa name, and apparently it's an advance single for an album coming around May or June.

>573 What's the source? There's no way. Even if it's her first time under the Saegusa name, she just did a duet recently. If this is true, I have to question the producers' sanity.

Hey-ppe, lol.

I just hugged Yurippe.

So what happened with the "Raven Chaser" theme song thing?

U-ka isn't doing the theme song, right? "Golgo 13" is already set.

I'm Yurippe~♪ (in Sanpei's style)

Aya Kamiki is another possibility.

This was the situation in the Conan thread (before Mai Kuraki's new opening was decided): Front-runner: B'z Reasonable choices: GARNET CROW, Mai Kuraki Dark horse: Miho Komatsu Out of the question: U-ka Saegusa, Naifu

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4835853

>580 If it were Aya Kamiki, it could be a Mochi song or something... lol He provided a lot of songs for her albums, after all.

Aya's fans have been saying they want Okamoto removed from the credits.

Yuri: "Ah, they're shooting right now—the jacket photo shoot has already started." Furui: "Yeah." Yuri: "About Azuki-san..." Nana: "Yeah." Yuri: "She said something really shocking about the photo... that you couldn't tell where the breasts were." Nana: "No way, she said that?" Yuri: "And Okamocchi said, 'Huh, did that person even have breasts?'" Mochi: "Did I say that?" Yuri: "You did." Nana, Furui, Mochi: "What!?" Yuri: "You did." Furui: "Wait, what did I say again? Say it one more time." Nana: "Should we sort it out? lol" Furui: "Listening to this, you're a really bad person, aren't you?" Mochi: "No, I'm an incredibly bad person." Yuri: "You three are awful." Nana: "You're talking about the photo I said I really liked, right?" Yuri: "Yeah, yeah." Mochi: "I heard that too. I really like it, though." Nana: "That's right! We have to emphasize that." Yuri: "I really like it, but I can't tell where the breasts are." Nana: "You mean the one where you thought the whole thing was breasts, right?" Yuri: "Ah, you thought the whole thing was breasts?" Nana, Furui, Mochi: "Right, right, that's what we meant."

>584 Who do those people think they are, lol?

I am the person who loves Yurippe the most in the world.

I am the person who most wants Yurippe to love me in the world.

I am the person in the world who looks the most like Yurippe (lol).

Yurippe's cuteness is abnormal. Yurippe's cuteness is abnormal. Yurippe's cuteness is abnormal. Yurippe's cuteness is abnormal.

>585 Nana: "Then from now on, let's ask, 'Where's the waist?'"♪

>585 Nana: "If you look from the top and think, 'Is that a breast~?' then, 'Huh, is this also a breast~?'" Yuri: "I see, so it wasn't that you kept thinking, 'The breasts never show up~.'" Nana: "I was wondering which one ended up being the best part." Furui: "Yeah, when it's 'this part is good too, this part is good too'... So in those parts... maybe trim down the waist a little..." Yuri: "Is that actually helping or not?" Mochi: "It isn't, right? It just sounds like you're joking around." Yuri: "But AZUKI-san gets told that a lot, huh." Nana: "No! Not a lot! This is the second time! Out of the hundred-plus times in a sexual sense, this is only the second!" Yuri: "No, there are a few more. There are a few more~" Furui: "I think the issue is probably 'which one is the breast,' right?" Mochi: "It means it wasn't an easy-to-understand arrangement like the ones all over town, right?" Yuri: "But being told you couldn't tell where the breasts were... that's really, really upsetting." Furui: "No, I get it, I get it." Nana: "Then next time, let's ask, 'Where's the waist?'"

>592 We posted the same thing.

You guys are gross, lol.

The TV appearance is confirmed.

>596 Apparently one of the members is going to be on the radio on Sunday too.

>596 >597 Where did you hear that? I haven't gotten an email from G-NET either.

The Detective Conan movie is apparently GARNET CROW.

Shitty thread.

If you listen closely to Nana in Paspara, she responds to almost anything about Yurippe, but completely ignores anything about Osan or Mochi like she couldn't care less. It's amazing, lol.

When is Yurippe finally going to wet herself? I want to clean up after her.

>600 Then why are you here? You must be really bored.

Ignore posts from trash who don't love Yurippe.

>604 Got it.

To the guy talking about wetting himself...

I hope we can safely make it to the 10th anniversary and celebrate it in grand style.

>606 I'm a Machiavellian. I'll join forces even with perverts.

Paspara when the GARNET CROW members came to visit was basically a broadcast accident.

>608 Even rotten scum and maggots are important fans... Better than losing them... It's not like there's much hope of gaining more from here on out.

The thing about Nana-sama and Sayuri Iwata looking alike.

Why is the official site using "Yume Mita Ato de"? lol And it's a remix, lolol.

>611 Well, they're parent and child, after all.

>611 What about Hayami Kishimoto?

Does Natsumi Goto look like Yurippe?

Mai Yuki looks like Yurippe.

>613 Really?

Watching Guru Nai, I thought Q-chan looked like Nana-san.

She looks like Miyuki Torii.

I want to lick Yurippe's toes.

I want to kiss Yurippe.

Yurippe's intonation is weird only when she's introducing Ohga-san, lol.

>618 Hey, I like Nana, so stop saying things that kill the mood! LOL

But there are times when their way of speaking is similar. Like at the press conference when she retired.

Does anyone have a picture of Yurippe wearing that weird outfit at the public radio recording?

>625 There's no way Yurippe would wear some weird outfit. A full-body mirror-ball outfit or something would be overflowing with style...

Anything Yurippe wears becomes the ultimate masterpiece. I want to smell the clothes after she takes them off.

It feels kind of GARNET CROW-like. http://www.jra.go.jp/topics/video/vg_brandcf/asx/brandcf09_limited_dsl.asx

I had a classmate in high school who looked like Yurippe. Her vibe was similar too, lol.

The ETV special was good.

>621 That's way too obvious.

ttp://www.casa-web.jp/salon/staff_sinjuku/inadomi.html Doesn't she look like Yurippe?

If anything, she looks more like Mikitty.

I can't believe the G pendant was designed by Yuri Nakamura too...

>628 That's someone else's song.

>632 The nose is the weak point.

Yurippe: "I'm just the kind of face you see everywhere, lol."

You occasionally see inferior versions of Yurippe, both in showbiz and out on the street.

Which Yurippe is the cutest in the PVs? Personally, I think the one wearing the white hat in "Namida no Yesterday" is the cutest.

>639 For me, it's "Crystal Gauge."

By far, the black hat in "Timeless Sleep." For the pretty-looking one, "Yume Hanabi." For Nana-sama, "Yume no Hitotsu."

>630 Did anything related to GARNET CROW show up?

>639 "Love Lone Star" is good.

>639 "Koisuru Koto Shika~," lol. Other cute gestures are in "Hare Tokei," "Naked Story," and "Aomori!" For the pretty-looking ones, "Crystal Gauge" and "Sanctuary."

>644 Where can I watch the PVs for "Aomori" and "Naked Story"?

You could see a tiny bit of "Naked" and "Sanctuary" on the third DVD, but I wonder if the full versions are available somewhere. I've never seen "Aomori" at all. I'd be really happy if I could watch them.

I haven't seen the full versions of any of them either. There are little clips on Nico. There's a thing with introductions to every song on each album. "Naked~" was played on GARNET time too, wasn't it?

Which GARNET CROW DVD do you recommend?

Why don't they release a full PV collection?

>639 Obviously, "掴君及揺."

>651 >掴君 That's some pretty violent wording.

"掴君及揺" = "the time to take you away has come"?

Yurippe is so cute that a PV collection would sell like crazy if they released one.

I went to Furuhon Ichiba and Fukatsu Shobo to buy a GARNET CROW live DVD, but they didn't have it... Is GARNET CROW really that niche?

>648 Probably "first live scope" and Ninna-ji. I only own those two myself, so I don't know about the others, lol. 1st → You can see a youthful, natural Yurippe. Super cute as hell, lol. Nana-sama plays the flute! But the singing is a little unstable... Ninna-ji → Yurippe sings great and the outfits are cool as hell. She stands out more for her beauty than her cuteness. Osan on guitar! ...Mochi? Same as always.

>652 I thought it meant "Holding you, and swinging."

>654 They have both new and used copies on Amazon.

It's "Holding You and Swinging."

We overlapped...

>656, 658 Ah, so that's it. Turning it into kanbun gives it a completely different image. So 及 = "and"?

Happy New Year.

Yurippe, please punish me♪

Is there a PV for "Holding You and Swinging"? If there is, please point me to it.

I want to lick Yurippe's bare feet all over.

Nana and Yurippe are nothing but objects of sexual desire.

"call my name" is a masterpiece. This is GARNET CROW at its very best, I think.

I'm getting horny. Should I do Yuriny for the second time today? I get more excited when she's wearing pantyhose than when she's barefoot. I want to tear the pantyhose while sniffing their scent and carefully licking her all over.

I played some early songs ("blue bird," "Jewel fish," "wonder land," "Yuudachi no Niwa," etc.) for a friend who said he hated GARNET CROW, and he said they were pretty good. Apparently it's the thick vocal tone he doesn't like.

Isn't it a matter of vocal technique rather than the voice itself? Her natural voice is thin.

New song in the spring. Live DVD of the Tokyo show scheduled for release. —Mochi

>669 Ah, I see. >670 kwsk

New song in the spring (Detective Conan movie theme song)

>672 Really? Unrelated, but I wish GARNET CROW would do the music for a cocoa commercial sometime soon.

GIZA really only has Conan and unpopular anime, huh...

>674 So?

Doesn't that suck? You should've figured that out by now.

>1 Boobies.

Could we get a commercial or something? Catchy song → TV appearance → profit.

By all means, a commercial for an innovative computer that fits in a jeans pocket.

>679 Why? Are you after the butt?

>679 It's Sony, so obviously it's going to be YUI...

Yurippe has total otaku-girl vibes, doesn't she? So moe.

Yurippe feels a little sheltered from the world. Nana-sama too—actually, she seems pretty damn world-weary.

>683 That doesn't make sense. Did you misunderstand the meaning of "world-weary"? Look it up in a Japanese dictionary.

In Nana-sama's case, she's detached from worldly society. It's about time she gave me a peek.

>684 Let me correct that to: Nana-sama seems out of touch with the world.

>685 ○ In Nana-sama's case, she's detached from worldly society. >686 × Nana-sama seems out of touch with the world └→ As a subjective opinion, that's not wrong, but objectively speaking, it is.

After seeing nothing but the rotten side of humanity in showbiz, AZUKI-sama chose to become a celestial being.

So is the new-song information actually true?

Is a DVD release of livescope2008 definitely happening?

>687 I don't think "a person who seems out of touch with the world" is wrong objectively either. You do say, "That person seems out of touch with the world," right?

The waves of protest slogans~ pass on by~

▲Hitoshi Okamoto part.5▲ http://mamono.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/compose/1207385161/481

Please put the pre-live show on DVD too.

It's amazing she's managed to live without any trouble with responses like that. Is it Yurippe or Nana herself who thinks charm alone is enough to get her forgiven?

If she's cute, everything is okay.

I really want to hear Yurippe, now that her singing has improved, on DVD. Bring on the livescope2008 DVD!

Has the boom of translating the story of "Yuudachi no Niwa" already ended...?

>695 She doesn't need to suck up and live like ordinary people. Because she has talent.

Talent (lol).

"Mawari Michi" is a must-listen on livescope2008.

It's Yurippe♪ http://homepage2.nifty.com/tabbycats/img04/327.jpg

>650 >653 Only believers think that. Too bad!

Sorry, but I think there was an older song that started: ♪ "With this unreliable half of me~ / making everyone run, lost in it~" I forgot the title. If anyone knows, please tell me...

>704 "Tonsil Spiral."

>702 If anything, she looks more like Nana.

Is "Futari no Rocket" on "first kaleidscop" different from the single version?

>704 As >705 said. Though I have no idea what the "tonsil" part is supposed to mean. The lyrics are actually: ♪ "The unreliable leaf boat / making it race across the water's surface, lost in it."

Yurippe: "Sorry, my diction is bad, lol."

>704 As >708 said. Also, "tonsil" is a mondegreen of "I'll take a chance." By the way, the lyrics are: ♪ "This unreliable half, you know / Let the crimson streets race across the water's surface."

Thank you, everyone! Now that I know the song title, I can finally go look for the CD.

Yahoo 712.

Fortune King's cha♪

Azuki SEVEN.

>701 Did you go?

Nana is being called a jinx over in the Aya Kamiki thread.

I listened to "Spiral" for the first time in ages. It made me cry from nostalgia. It may have been an unusual song for GARNET CROW, but I want them to sing it again.

I'm glad GARNET CROW is a self-sufficient artist group. Even if they get a little repetitive, it's much better to keep listening to work I can be satisfied with. I'm tired of people endlessly whining about disliking songs they provided to other artists.

Nana-san and Yurippe don't need to provide songs to anyone else until GARNET CROW disbands. I want them to keep all the good stuff for GARNET CROW.

I'm Aiuchi, but please give me a song.

No-ppe.

Cheap-ppe.

I'd like Nana to provide a song once in a while. Her work for Takaoka was really good.

>715 I went to both days of the Tokyo show. I also saw Yurippe and Nana-sama hug for about three minutes on camera on the second day in Tokyo. My seats were close, so I was thrilled. Some people left immediately after it ended, but I guess they had a long way home. They must have been in tears when they heard about it.

>723 There's a jinx that whenever Nana-sama provides a song, the recipient disappears... FOV, Soul Crusader, Daikoku, WAG, Uehara, Kishimoto, Takaoka, Takei, and Mochi, lol. Apparently Yurippe is the only one who's safe.

>725 Takaoka's releasing a CD tomorrow, right? Mochi hasn't disappeared either, lol. DEEN too, even though you didn't list them. Sayuri Iwata is doing reasonably well as an actress too. I don't know whether Takei ever made an announcement, though.

>726 I didn't know about Takaoka, lol. By "disappears," I mean their activities stop or become drastically reduced even if they don't officially retire. Mochi's solo career hasn't had a release in years either, lol.

Mochi was lacking in ability as a vocalist to begin with.

>727 If that's the case, then even more of the artists Osan arranged for have disappeared. And he actually participated seriously. Recently, Kyoko Shiraishi, lol. And Osan's solo career...

I'll write another song for Yuuka-chan, deshi~ (o^-ﾟ)db(^-^o)

Sorry for pork-slicing the flow, but whenever I search online for GARNET CROW CDs, the "Rhythm" single often comes up. Then I start pointlessly imagining what the B-side would have been and what the jacket would've looked like if it had actually been released, so I wondered if there was anything we could do about it. What would happen if I ordered it? lol

>729 When did Osan ever have a solo career? lol

By the way, did anyone send in the entry postcards for "Hyakunen no Kodoku" and "Ninna-ji LIVE"? When are they supposed to arrive? Or have they already arrived and I just didn't win...?

Is Yurippe one of the better singers at GIZA?

Around lower-middle.

Nana's way of speaking is kind of gross...

GAZA...

It feels like a waste to use the fan club calendar. You can't use it without tearing the pages off, but tearing them off feels wasteful too. I think the ring-bound one like last year's was better. Are you guys going to use yours after all?

>738 I looked at it once on the day it arrived, and it's been sitting in the box it came in ever since, lol. It's too precious to take out.

※ Instructions for using Yurippe 　Please handle gently when using. 　Rough handling will make her hurt.

>736 That's obvious as hell, and Nana knows it herself, which is why she just quietly works as a lyricist. Don't complain about Nana, you punk.

>739 Same here. I haven't even opened mine... and of course I haven't opened last year's either...

>739 >742 Are you guys even GARNET CROW fans? The duty of a true fan is to buy at least three: one for admiring, one for using, and one for keeping, obviously...

Indeed.

>743 When it comes to a calendar, I feel like the display copy and the usable copy are the same thing... Unless you're going to bukkake on it (etc.).

>732 About three years ago. If you Google "Hiroto Furui imagination," you can still download it.

By the way, did anyone order LOCKS tour goods through G-NET? The calendar apparently arrived at the end of the year, but the tour goods still haven't arrived, right?

>743 Use plastic wrap, you punk!!!

Is Yurippe 159 cm tall?

>748 That defeats the point if you use plastic wrap. Do you chew gum with the wrapper still on it?

>747 No, mine arrived ages ago.

>751 So yours already arrived. I'll wait until the period listed on the application form for now. Thanks!

>752 Mine hasn't arrived yet either. What is the deadline, anyway?

>753 They say shipments are scheduled to go out from mid-December through the end of February. If it still hasn't arrived around mid-March, you're supposed to contact G-NET.

Speaking of lyrics provided to other artists, is there anyone besides me who's always waiting for a self-cover by ZARD of "The Stopped Clock Has Started Moving Again"? I was thinking that while listening to "wish★."

I want a cover of "The Stopped Clock Has Started Moving Again" with Nana-sama rewriting the lyrics and Yurippe singing it.

>756 Are you insulting Izumi, you bastard? (#ﾟДﾟ)ｺﾞﾙｧｧ!!

I went all the way to Yodobashi Camera to buy the Ninna-ji live DVD, but they didn't have it, orz. Where am I supposed to go to find it?

>758 Ebisu-do.

>756 A cover would be fine, but once Nana-sama rewrites the lyrics, it isn't "The Stopped Clock Has Started Moving Again" anymore. I like ZARD and GARNET CROW equally, so I'd feel conflicted if they did that. I'd hate it if the reverse happened too (ZARD provides the music → GARNET CROW writes the lyrics and sings it → ZARD does a cover with changed lyrics...).

If they ever release a collection of all the coupling songs, I want every song included. Otherwise it feels like some songs are being treated unfairly, or like they're ranking the songs, which I don't like. But even excluding the remixes, there are about 40 songs now... Even at the minimum, it'd have to be a three-disc set...

The sing-along for "Love is a Bird" at Live 2008 was the best. It moved me so much.

>759 Sorry, I feel weird about ordering things online.

>761 Then there'd be no point in releasing singles.

If Nana-sama rewrote the lyrics, wouldn't it become "The Clock That Was Moving Has Now Stopped"?

>764 Then after they disband.

>766 Don't fuck around! Actually, I don't really understand the need for a coupling-song collection. You could just make your own compilation. If it were a coupling instrumental collection, though, I'd want it.

Sorry, I went too far.

People saying they want a coupling collection probably just don't own the songs and want them bundled together. Honestly, there's no benefit for the artist. Besides, GARNET CROW already gives fans a service by putting a few well-regarded coupling songs on their best album...

>769 I own them. I just want them rerecorded in her current voice, and a PV too, if possible...!

The first GARNET CROW song I ever liked was "Mikansei na Neiro," so I was surprised when I read the liner notes and found out it was a B-side.

>770 My ideal would be: release one more single this year, then an album, and do an album tour. After that, release two or three singles by the end of this year or early next year, then release Best 2 and a PV collection on the 10th anniversary of their debut next March...

>767 I'd be happy if instrumentals came as bonuses... But I don't think a collection with no vocals or lyrics would have much demand for GARNET CROW.

I want a collection of shelved songs. Limited to fan-club members: songs that were scrapped and should never have seen the light of day. Yurippe says there are quite a lot of them—scrapped songs and scrapped takes.

>773 There is someone here who wants a band score, though.

Someone on Nico did that, but I'd like violin-arrangement collections or jazz-arrangement collections. Not remixes.

If Yurippe reaches 40, her throat will probably hit its limit, so breaking up within ten years is realistic. But before that, a breakup because Yurippe gets married and has children, with everyone focusing on behind-the-scenes work, seems even more likely.

>774 They probably won't release them precisely because they aren't satisfied with those songs themselves. But I'd like to hear them, lol.

>777 Ah, 777 got taken! I'm annoyed, so I guess I'll go listen to Kuraga for no particular reason. ﾉｼ

Unrelated, but "Futari" has a pretty interesting arrangement.

>775 Apparently a band score is impossible. There are too many notes, so it would end up as thick as a phone book.

Imagining Yurippe giving birth got me hard.

>782 I get the feeling maternity clothes would surprisingly suit her, lol. She looks like she'd be bad with pain (´Д｀). She's so thin, so childbirth would be rough...

She apparently powered through a broken rib without saying a word, so she'll probably be fine. What worries me is that she seems like the type to bear the pain all by herself.

You'd have to bear it yourself, lol.

Lots of people fantasize about Yurippe, but are there really people who go as far as imagining her giving birth? lol

Did everyone enjoy themselves?

(´ゝω・`) She keeps tripping over her words.

>781 For real? Professor Furui is amazing. Of course the sound would be rich and heavy.

If anything, I wish I'd been born from Yurippe.

>787 Maybe Yurippe is a 2ch user, lol.

"Atsumeru Heaven" is a dark chapter.

Nice try, newbie.

I've been listening for seven years and I'm still a newbie. Nice job, me. The songs and lyrics are great, though... The next single: "The Truth Is Always One." You wouldn't want that, right?

>794 Personally, I like that.

I imagined Yurippe singing "On that bowed back~" and thought, surprisingly, that it could work.

>781 That's amazing... I wonder if they could make it as a made-to-order hardcover, with a photobook included... Would it end up being an encyclopedia?

They don't need to transcribe every single note. A reasonable number of parts for synth, piano, guitar, bass, and drums would be enough.

There's no way Osan would do such a slapdash job.

Yurippe on the Christmas card looks like someone is strangling her with a rope from behind, like, "I-I can't breathe. Help me." That thin thing barely showing looks like a rope.

On a whim, I started listening backward from the latest single, and from around "Hare Tokei" to "Wasurezaki," there was an incredible run of masterpieces. I was even able to listen to MÄR Heaven normally, lol. I wonder if releasing the best album was some kind of turning point.

I watched the 2004 live DVD for the first time today, and "Eien ni Houmure" was god-tier. Wait, what's this rain coming from my eyes... Yurippe at the "Don't go" part really gets me. I'm a woman myself, but I want to hug her.

Hug me Tonight.

>748-750 This year's calendar has already gotten all crinkly, YO.

As an aside, a surprisingly high percentage of the GARNET CROW fans around me also like ZARD. Is it the same for you guys?

>805 I still mainly listen to ZARD.

>805 Yeah. I own the "What a beautiful moment" and "Le Portfolio" DVDs, plus the 1991–2008 Premium Box. I also went to the exhibition in Osaka recently.

About the "Namida no Yesterday" PV: the version shown on Yahoo! Video and GyaO before its release had the host guy and shots of the members walking in color, and apparently had a repeated chorus after "♪ aru you ni." Does anyone have that video? It's on Nico, but I'd like a higher-quality version, so preferably not an FLV.

>805 I like GARNET CROW a lot, but I don't listen to ZARD. I guess it depends on what you listen for. What first drew me to GARNET CROW was the lyrics and keyboard arrangements. And Yurippe's gaze, lol.

I don't particularly like ZARD itself either... But I started liking them a little more after Yurippe appeared at the memorial concert, lol.

This is just my personal guess, but people from the ZARD generation (roughly their late twenties) probably listen to GARNET CROW too. People who started listening to GARNET CROW around age twenty probably didn't listen to ZARD much, generationally speaking.

It's not so much the ZARD generation as the Conan generation.

The members say the average age of the fan club is in the thirties, so it probably isn't the Conan generation. Maybe the ZARD generation really is the perfect fit? Before GARNET CROW, I had never even bought a BEING CD.

I'm 19, but I actually went from ZARD to GARNET CROW~

>813 Maybe the average age is in the thirties because the upper end is so high? The lower end is probably teens at most. Based on my impression from going to live shows, I think people in their twenties are the biggest fan demographic.

>814 Same here! I'm 15, though. I still watch Conan without missing an episode.

I'm 20 now too, and I became a fan by going from ZARD to GARNET CROW.

>814, 817 You're just like me. Being around twenty means you're the generation of the original Pokémon games and stuff like that.

>805 I'm 14! But I'm not that fond of ZARD. I like Yurippe's voice and Nana-sama's lyrics. Honestly, I'm jealous of people who have GARNET CROW fans around them...

Your ages don't matter.

While we're at it, Nana-sama and Yurippe's ages don't matter either.

If so many GARNET fans also like Kuraki and ZARD, that probably means a lot of them came in through Conan.

>822 I didn't get into them through Conan. If anything, I wasn't particularly interested in Conan, lol. I already liked ZARD, and I got hooked while listening around to see if there were any other good artists. It was probably around winter 2003.

>822 ZARD → GARNET is a pretty natural connection, since they share involvement in everything from composing and arranging to live shows. With Kuraki, it's probably the GIZA connection.

>822 It's true that I like GARNET and Kuraki—or rather, I like Yurippe, Nana-sama, and Kuraki, lol. There are lots of people who like GARNET and Kuraki, but I feel like most of them are in it for the looks, lol. I think ZARD's songs are high-level, but I'm not interested in Sakai-san herself (age-wise...) Sorry for being a shallow fan.

>824 Yurippe provided songs to both ZARD and Saegusa, but there are so few Saegusa fans. Weird, lol.

>822 Besides Conan and MÄR Heaven, did they have any other major tie-ins? Leaving out the recent "Yume no Hitotsu" and "Hyakunen no Kodoku."

I like the songs and arrangements.

GARNET is an idol group at the end of the day. There's nothing strange about people being in it for the looks (or the body).

GIZA's whole setup is basically the idol business, after all.

Doesn't "idol" refer to something more obvious than that? Like Perfume. BEING artists have traditionally had very little media exposure. ZARD's TV appearances are practically rare footage (there were only four or five in total, I think).

>826 Since Yurippe and Saegusa are friends, GARNET fans don't really hate Saegusa (she even comes to GARNET's live shows). Strangely enough, a lot of Saegusa fans are anti-GARNET CROW.

I thought I'd accidentally opened a fan site.

>832 I've been a fan for a long time, but I've never heard that Yurippe and Saegusa are close, lol. (I know Saegusa, Kamiki, and some other GIZA girls came to the live show, but I doubt it was because they're close.) I've heard Kuraki and Saegusa say they respect Yurippe, but that's just a polite PR line, lol.

Watching the GIZA live show, I got the impression that Yurippe must be an outsider within GIZA, lol. Even when everyone gathers, she doesn't join the circle and quietly stays off to the side with Nana-sama. She seems like the type who would slip away quickly even if there were an after-party for the show.

>835 I don't think that's true. In the behind-the-scenes footage from Hot Rod and R&B, she was getting along well with everyone. I think she's the type women really like. The one who sits alone in the corner and can't join the circle is Nana, if anything, lol. She doesn't seem able to accept anyone except Yurippe, though.

There was a really cute girl standing onstage at the ZARD memorial live. I heard she was the vocalist of a band called GARNET CROW. That's how I became a GARNET CROW fan.

( ´・ω・）

The talk about Kuraki and Saegusa respecting her is probably just polite PR, but GARNET is one of the few self-producing acts in GIZA and has established a unique position. Given Yurippe's personality, she probably isn't an outsider either. If anything, Saegusa and Aiuchi are the ones who don't get along. Not just their fans—the two of them themselves seem to have issues too. Even though they've collaborated twice.

They've collaborated and still don't get along? lol That's literally Wu and Yue in the same boat. Is it because their vibes are similar?

>834 On MU-GEN, Pon and Hiromi often say that they're close. Saegusa said in an interview that Yurippe wrote "Graduation" for her and even gave her singing advice. Around that time she was kind of imitating Yurippe's singing style too. Kuraki is probably just being polite.

>839 Saegusa and Aiuchi are genuinely enemies. It's well known on the BEING board too.

>827 I think "Kasouken no Onna," "Sports," and "Tales" are more mainstream than MÄR Heaven.

>837 You know she's over thirty, right?

>841 > Pon and Hiromi often say on MU-GEN that they're close. I watch MU-GEN, but I've never heard that. > Saegusa said in an interview that Yurippe wrote "Graduation" for her and gave her singing advice. The song was handed over on orders from above, but Saegusa's singing was so bad that Yurippe had no choice but to coach her a little.

Yurippe is so kind... Is she secretly the type who takes good care of people? She gives gifts and advice to Saegusa and Iwata, artists she provided songs for. Isn't she the best? >841 The MU-GEN people also say Saegusa and Aiuchi are close, and Saegusa and Kamiki are close, so they just make stuff up, lol.

I haven't even opened the calendar yet.

>838 Your ID was almost CROW.

They didn't look like they got along when I watched the Valentine's live show, though.

Listening to "Kyou no Kimi to Ashita wo Matsu" shows just how strong Yurippe's composing ability is. The key changes are so natural, and it does it several times.

>765 All of me cried. In every possible sense... Seriously, though, I have a feeling the final chorus phrase will be in English.

>839 Kamiki and Saegusa look even more like they can't stand each other. During the Conan Festival, MU-GEN aired footage of Aiuchi, Kamiki, and Saegusa interacting outside the dressing room. Saegusa was desperately trying to catch a bug flying in front of her, while Kamiki watched with an annoyed look. Aiuchi and Kamiki seemed to be chatting pleasantly, so Saegusa stood out even more. Kamiki clearly hates Saegusa.

>852 They definitely look like they don't get along—Kamiki and Saegusa. Actually, Saegusa is probably the one everyone dislikes. It made no sense that Kuraki and Aiuchi being heavily promoted was normal, but Saegusa, who wasn't selling, was treated the best. Though lately she seems to have been frozen out.

>797 They mentioned it on last year's public radio broadcast at Aeon. Niconico: "J-AC TOP40-11/01 <GARNET CROW (second half)>" Around the 7:30 mark.

I don't really care, but BEING has it rough in all sorts of ways, huh. I'm glad Yurippe and Nana-sama are close. I'm glad everyone in GARNET CROW gets along well, one way or another.

>805 I'm in my mid-teens, but I like both of them. I like almost all their Conan songs. Sakai-san was right around forty, after all. Personally, my favorite recent GARNET CROW song is "Hyakunen no Kodoku." I wonder how old Yurippe is. Around thirty, maybe.

Somali child (left) & UN staff member (right) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/3095549064_67137eee40_o.jpg

>856 Ara essa sassa~.

So "Genzai Shinkokei" was composed by Okamocchi, huh.

How is "Watashi wa Kaze" regarded around here?

Yurippe's singing voice sounds a little like Midori Karashima's to me.

>853 Saegusa is definitely hated in the Conan thread. That rap opening decided everything. Her other songs aren't that bad, though.

>845 Yurippe giving her advice... I can totally understand if it was about composing, but when it comes to singing, I don't think Yurippe is good enough to advise other people.

It wasn't singing advice, but advice on how to phrase the vocals. Saegusa couldn't fit the notes properly, lol. Serves her right.

>863 I think Yurippe is good enough to advise people now. Did you watch the Ninna-ji live?

>805 I'm 18, and I went from ZARD to GARNET CROW too. I even went to the ZARD memorial live. But I wasn't that into them during their peak. I like their later period the best. With GARNET CROW, I'd known the Conan songs and "flying" for a while, but I didn't know they were sung by people called GARNET CROW. I gradually started listening to them through the "Stopped Clock..." connection. Age has nothing to do with liking an artist, right? >835 At Hot Rod, she seemed to be chatting happily with Aika Ohno. Ohno-san also wrote in her diary that Yurippe was friendly, so there's no need to worry, lol.

>835 Don't lump me in with you, lol.

>865 No, no—because it's Saegusa, lol.

>867 Apparently it's true that YuriNana don't attend the after-parties, lol.

>865 She just made her vocal delivery clearer; you wouldn't call that good singing. You could say she's improved compared to before, though. But with that monotonous style, only ballads really shine.

GARNET CROW is the band that disappoints you when you go to see them live.

>871 Totally agree, in every possible way, lol. But I still want to see GARNET CROW, so I'll probably go again. Especially as a Nana fan, if I miss a live show, I have no other chance to confirm she's still alive.

Quiz time! Which song are these lyrics from? "A twisted peace is being born today too."

"Flower."

>869 YuriNana are so cool, lol.

>874 Correct! I actually like these laid-back songs quite a bit. Like "dreaming of love."

The GARNET CROW video-deletion festival on Nico has begun, ktkr. orz

First day back at work, huh, GIZA?

I figured Nico didn't matter, but I went to look anyway, and there was something called "GARNET CROW Compilation." It was just a bunch of audio—nearly 20 songs, about an hour and a half—concatenated and played straight through. There were several files like that. Maybe it's not worth complaining about at this point, but seriously, they had no manners whatsoever.

>879 That kind of thing is annoying, but the audio and video you can't get anywhere else were valuable. Glad I saved them, lol. Almost all the live footage is gone, but all of Mochi's live footage is still there, which had me cracking up, lol.

I guess we have no choice but to report YouTube too. Damn GIZA, do your job.

Release the PV collection before deleting the PVs.

>880 Shouldn't you protect Mochi too? lol

I think leaving them up as samples would help CD and DVD sales more. They're even linked to Amazon ads. GARNET CROW's songs are highly addictive, after all... And as I write this, I finally understand GIZA's strategy. They left everything alone until now to let people sample the songs and get hooked. They deleted them this time to make people who still hadn't bought the CDs and DVDs buy them! Letting them stay up for a while and then enforcing their rights all at once was pretty clever.

>882 Exactly! >883 Since they're not famous yet, they decided the promotional effect of leaving them up was worth it.

They really did a beautiful job deleting everything except Mochi, lol.

I thought GIZA was pretty clueless about this sort of thing, but I guess they do actually do their job. Though it feels a little late.

>885 They wouldn't promote Mochi, who isn't even active anymore, lol. Poor guy—they must see him as completely irrelevant.

The radio sometimes reads emails like, "We're waiting for your third album," so I'm kind of hoping he might release one. Maybe that's Okamoto-san's way of making a pitch.

Mochi probably wants to make his own songs rather than just play guitar in GARNET CROW.

Yuri's precious cleavage is gone...

If you want to stimulate addiction, the "only release the first verse" strategy is probably best. It makes people desperately curious about what comes next.

>891 Watch the Ninna-ji DVD, lol.

>891 So that's what you were after, lol.

Most of the GARNET TIME and Pan Factory LIVE videos have been deleted too. Waaah ;

>895 Not just most of them—everything except the ones with Mochi singing is wiped out, lol.

I didn't know GIZA was the one deleting them.

GIZA Person A: "What should we do about Okamoto?" GIZA Person B: "Hmm... just leave him alone."

I really should've saved at least the GARNET TIME special... OTL

So glad I saved the videos~

The GT special is on YouTube too.

It's still on YouTube, though? lol

Even if it's a little late: "Love is the bird," lol.

>903 One bird.

How old is AZUKI Nana turning this year?

Probably 36. She looks incredibly young...

35.

38.

18.

Ninna-ji just hit #8 on the late-December DVD chart on JAPAN COUNTDOWN. The holy site showed up.

Mochi used to play his entire song over and over on the radio before his second album came out, then casually said something like, "I don't care about that kind of thing at all," lol.

It's harsh to put it this way, but Mochi has no sales expectations or pressure to worry about. I heard it only sold around 300 copies, lol.

Well, most people bought Mochi's CD because they wanted the poster you get when you spend 3,000 yen or more on CDs at a live show, but already owned all the GARNET CDs... So they went, "Oh yeah, the guitar guy released a CD, didn't he?" and bought it as a sort of offering.

So the reason I can't find Mochi's CD in used shops is that it didn't sell?

I really want "Namida no Yesterday" (　ﾟДﾟ)ﾎｽｨ, but I can't find a used copy anywhere...

So most of them bought it for that reason, and it only sold 300 copies...

>915 It's available on Amazon. ttp://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/offer-listing/B000QUCZIO/sr=/qid=/ref=olp_tab_used?ie=UTF8&coliid=&me=&qid=&sr=&seller=&colid=&condition=used

I'm rewatching an old M Sta, and Yurippe is so cute. When she was talking about the water purifier, she said, "It was soooo heavy," and it was ridiculously cute, lol.

>918 I know, lol. She looked so cute, all nervous and desperate, lol. Frail Yurippe is moe, lol. I can't picture Yurippe swimming in a swimsuit at all, though, lol.

School swimsuit, ﾊｧﾊｧ.

>918 Huh! She was on M Sta!? How many times? Which songs?

>915 I bought a used copy online from GEO the other day for 380 yen, lol. GARNET's singles are hardly ever sold anywhere, are they?

>921 She was on the day before yesterday. I think the song was "Kizu Darake no Mirai."

>918 It was a plastic bottle, lol.

>921 If you're talking about the water discussion, that was quite a while ago. Maybe it was around "Spiral"... No, probably not, lol. There used to be a video on Nico called something like "Comment Compilation," but maybe it's gone now. One thing's for sure: it wasn't "Rai Rai Ya."

How many times were they on M Sta?

I want to stick my dick inside Yurippe's vagina.

>926 TOKIO, calm down. SP Water Purifier Yurippe Matcha Yurippe Frail Yurippe YuriNana That's six, just counting the ones I can remember. There might have been a few more.

>927 I only just put it in your ass a moment ago, didn't I?

>928 Thanks. I've never seen any of them... orz

>923 Seriously? Did they do some kind of compilation of artists who had appeared in the past?

I remember them appearing with "Kimi Kazari," "Bokura dake," and "Rai Rai Ya."

"Yume Mita," "Spiral," "Kimi Hikari," "Bokura," "Kimi Kazari," and "Rai Rai Ya"—so six times after all.

"Yume Mita Ato de," "Spiral," "Spiral (M Sta SP)," "Kimi to Iu Hikari," "Bokura Dake no Mirai," "Kimi wo Kazaru Hana wo Sakaso," and "Rai Rai Ya." They appeared on M Sta seven times in total.

>931 It's bait.

I went to a home center today to buy a Keshipon, and they were playing the melody of "Spiral." It made me a little happy. I'd never paid attention before, but do they actually play it fairly often?

What kind of bourgeois buys a personal-information-protection stamp? Just tear up the postcard and throw it away.

>936 You hear them sometimes. I've heard music-box arrangements once at a hotel and once at a clinic. The latter was "Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu keredo." I can't remember whether the former was "Yume Mita Ato de" or "Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu keredo."

>938 Can I point something out? Both song titles are wrong...

Leaving aside the kanji conversion mistakes, were music-box arrangements like that ever sold commercially? I feel like ZARD had one, but did GARNET CROW?

The iTunes Store, duh.

What is it with people who point out conversion mistakes on 2ch?

>940 The instrumental arrangements of J-pop played in stores aren't commercially sold recordings being played as-is. It seems music-broadcast service providers like Yusen make their own original versions and play those. http://music.usen.com/modules/genre/content0015.html http://www.music-lounge.jp/spacediva/genre?g=7 http://www.nec-nexs.com/clovernet/option/sound/genre.html

>937 Tell that to my parents, would ya (´・ω・) >938 There are surprisingly quite a few. Whenever I hear one, I reflexively want to sing along, but people around me give me dirty looks, so I hold myself back, lol.

>942 They're probably just someone who started using 2ch recently. Leave them alone, lol.

I went to a diner near my house today and they were playing "Futari no Rocket." It was the first time I'd heard a GARNET CROW song playing in a place like that, and it was such an old song too, so I was shocked, lol.

>946 What an unexpectedly wild song choice. Do they still play it over the wired music services these days? Is it the manager's taste? By the way, once this job is over, I'm going to open a bar serving cocktails named after GARNET songs!

>947 If that were real, just looking at the menu would make me depressed, lol. Menu: "Yume Mita Ato de": market price "Natsu no Maboroshi": market price "Nakenai Yoru mo Nakanai Asa mo": market price "Wasurezaki": market price "With Just One Word, 'Goodbye'...": market price "Hyakunen no Kodoku": market price ← Were you only doing this so you could make this one?

A band with an average age of 40... Poor things (´･ω･).

>949 Bald old man, die.

Live!

>947 "A Light Called You": market price. Stuff like that would be cool as hell.

Yurippe hasn't been writing any good songs lately, so I can't help looking at her body instead.

Where do you look first on Yurippe's body? She isn't curvy, but she's sexy, lol.

>954 Don't say she "isn't curvy"—you'll hurt Yurippe's feelings. I thought her body looked elegantly curved in the dress at Ninna-ji.

Apparently Okamocchi took his university entrance exams in 1995, the year of the earthquake, so he really was born in 1976. If that's the case, did he repeat a year? I seem to remember Furui-san saying that Okamoto was still a student when GARNET CROW formed in late 1999.

Or maybe it was when Furui-san and Okamocchi first met???

I was curious, so I checked the fifth-anniversary book. Furui-san said, "He was a student when I met him," but it's unclear when that was. Unrelated, but Yurippe wearing a knit cap in that book looks a little like Yoko Ishino to me, lol.

Osan was born in 1967 and Mochi in 1976, no doubt about it. It was listed on the official GARNET website (though it isn't anymore).

>959 It was on the official website? I had no idea. Maybe they took it down because publicly listing only the two men was weird? The theory that Yurippe was born in 1977 and AZUKI-san in 1973 is still pretty firmly established. If so, Yurippe may still have been a student when the band formed.

Yurippe is so adorably cute.

>960 Mochi seems to have been working with GIZA while he was still a student, so maybe Yurippe was the same? It probably wasn't like a normal company where you start working exactly in April and keep regular hours. There are lots of other artists who balance school and work too.

She may have been taking vocal training and instruction during school with the assumption that she'd debut. Apparently she wrote "Yume Mita Ato de" while she was in high school, so she must have been a very promising newcomer from GIZA's perspective.

Wasn't it not high school? They said "when she was a student," but not specifically high school.

Apparently footage of AZUKI-san from kindergarten still exists too.

Last summer, I passed by a used-car dealer or something and, unbelievably, this happened: "That is~ the sunny~ clock~."

Yurippe attended vocational school while going to cram school and wrote "Yume Mita." Nana-san was a model and a race queen. She was juggling motherhood, work, and school—three lives at once.

>967 So does that mean Yurippe didn't graduate from university? If she went to university after vocational school, wouldn't she still have been a student after her debut? And what's this about her being a mother?

Yurippe's birthday is the day after mine... Well, whatever.

>968 That's why the claim that she went to Kwansei Gakuin is pretty dubious. Even if she was really low-key, there's no way it wouldn't have become a topic.

>970 Kyoto University would be one thing, but even if she went to Kwansei Gakuin, wouldn't it have failed to become a topic? I don't know how credible it is, but I've heard she was Komatsu's junior at Kwansei. >968 Just ignore it, lol.

There's also a story that Yurippe went to Osaka Prefectural Otemae High School and then Kyoto Prefectural University.

>963 Yurippe originally wanted to work behind the scenes, so she surely never considered becoming a singer at all.

>973 Even if Yurippe wanted to work behind the scenes, I think GIZA only ever intended to make her a singer from the start. When such a cute girl shows up carrying a demo tape, of course... So maybe Nana-sama's singing ability was really that poor, lol. It worked out well that she ended up teaming up with Yurippe, though.

So the innocent Yurippe, who wanted to become a director, was turned into a business tool.

A musician who graduated from a public university is pretty cool. Kwansei Gakuin would be cool too, though.

>972 That came up in the academic-background thread. Yurippe's name used to be listed among the alumni of Otemae High on Wikipedia, but for some reason her name has been removed now.

>972 If the Otemae High School thing is true, that's seriously impressive.

There is a possibility that Yurippe never went to university. If so, she would have graduated high school in March 1996, leaving a mysterious gap of more than three and a half years before her debut in November 1999. Maybe she worked as an office lady or something? That would be pretty moe too. But, well, she probably wasn't an office lady. The most realistic possibility is that she went to something like Kansai Creators Academy (now GIZA Creators School) while aiming to become a music producer. She may also have worked part-time at a fast-food place. That would be moe too. The speculation never ends, but I still like the Yurippe she is now.

979, you got it. She attended while taking a gap year. Yurippe and Nana-san already knew each other, you see. That's all I know.

>980 So is it likely that she didn't go to university?

Yurippe is so bad at dealing with people and even said she wanted to work behind the scenes, yet they went and made her the vocalist of a band. The GARNET person in charge must be a serious S.

She didn't go to university.

>982 Maybe it means they discovered her hidden talent even in that situation? I'll choose to interpret it positively. I don't know what the truth is, though.

I want delinquent-era Yurippe to glare at me... (*´Д｀)ﾊｧﾊｧ

>983 Who are you, anyway? Why are you saying that so definitively? Are you an acquaintance of Yurippe's?

>979 Yurippe apparently composed as a hobby while she was a student, so I don't think her school was music-related. She was probably just an ordinary girl attending some university or other. The real mystery is Nana-sama. How did she end up cosplaying as an elementary-schooler...

Yurippe was more of a sheltered rich girl, I'd say.

The mixer, duh, lol.

Whoa, I fell asleep watching Conan. Where's the next thread already?

I was an acquaintance.

I don't think she would attend cram school and GIZA School at the same time. If you're going to cram school, you're aiming for university, so I don't see what the point of attending GIZA School would be.

I'm Nakamura Yuri's boyfriend. Any questions?

Boring.

Yurippe only graduated middle school.

So many lies...

Give birth.

Ugh, this is nothing but fantasies. So gross... The only truth is that Yurippe is a virgin...

That's gross in its own way.
