乙　THE WAY

How was it overall compared with last year’s live?

With just one word: 乙.

【GARNET CROW livescope 2009 〜 Yoake no Soul 〜】 Friday, October 2: Nagoya / Zepp Nagoya (OPEN 18:00 / START 19:00) Monday, October 12 (holiday): Yokohama / Yokohama BLITZ (OPEN 17:00 / START 18:00) Sunday, October 18: Fukuoka / Zepp Fukuoka (OPEN 17:00 / START 18:00) Thursday, October 22: Osaka / Namba Hatch (OPEN 18:00 / START 19:00) Friday, October 23: Osaka / Namba Hatch (OPEN 18:00 / START 19:00) Friday, October 30: Sapporo / Zepp Sapporo (OPEN 18:00 / START 19:00) Saturday, November 7: Sendai / Zepp Sendai (OPEN 17:00 / START 18:00) Tuesday, November 24: Tokyo / Akasaka BLITZ (OPEN 18:00 / START 19:00) Wednesday, November 25: Tokyo / Akasaka BLITZ (OPEN 18:00 / START 19:00) Lawson Ticket ttp://l-tike.com/d1/AA02G01F1.do?DBNID=1&ALCD=1&FWDT=%83K%81%5B%83l%83b%83g%83N%83%8D%83E

I wonder how many people will show up in Kawasaki today... I’m going to Nishinomiya, so I’ll be waiting for your report.

>1 Yume Mita Ato Otsu At yesterday’s Nagoya live, did they properly sing the line in “Argentina,” “Don’t make me say I’m feeling miserable”?

乙ッサーン

Ahhh, Tokyo lost the bid... My plans to watch javelin at a stadium with Yurippe after she’d become a grandma have been ruined.

>13 She wouldn’t be a grandma by 2016ｗ

>13 Push the plan back four years.

The live was awful. They kept readjusting the volume, but it was still just noisy. And the drums were annoying.

The person who promised to go to Lazona with me tomorrow still hasn’t emailed me! I guess a promise made on 2ch was only a promise on 2ch... So I’m going to do my best alone.

For the sake of future shows, we should mention the drums in the questionnaire. I don’t know if they’ll actually reflect it, though. If someone says during the live that the drums are too loud, surely they’ll adjust them, right? Is David-san not handling it anymore?

Maybe it would sound less pointed to say, “We can’t hear AZUKI-san’s playing.”

They used up the thread in a week. Even though the album release and tour start overlapped, it’s been a long time since the thread moved this fast.

>19 I wrote that in the questionnaire at the FC’s Than9festa in Osaka, though...

Sorry, I messed up the anchor in >21. 　>21 was a reply to >18.

That was the worst live I’ve ever been to. I don’t know if it was the venue, but the sound was echoing like crazy. When they asked who was attending a live for the first time, quite a few people raised their hands, but I doubt they’ll ever come again... Every live I’ve attended up to now was satisfying, but this one was awful. Just awful.

Quite a lot of people go alone, so it should be fine. I’m going alone with no problem, but inviting someone who doesn’t like GARNET would be kinda mean.

Forget the FC event, the drums were insanely loud last year too... How did it come to this...

Someone posted somewhere that the real deal starts in Osaka, and they were right. Just think of this as a public rehearsal.

>23 That venue was bad. This was my first Gane live, and I was satisfied. I want to go again right away!

>16,23 >They kept readjusting the volume over and over Is this for real? Weren’t they doing a rehearsal?

I wanna see pictures of the merch. Is it true there’s no pamphlet?

I’m worried about where I’ll be standing. I’m 159.3 cm tall, so put me right at the front, okay?

>29 There is a pamphlet. I think it was 3,000 yen.

>30 I can’t believe I’ve encountered a dwarf here...!!

Come to think of it, this is their first time doing a record-release tour, right?

For tomorrow’s Kawasaki event, you don’t need an admission ticket if you’re only watching the free live, right?

>36 That’s right. And since it’s a free live, you can do whatever you want.

In about twelve hours, I’ll get to meet Yurippe’s boobs, huh?

>28 Seriously, the acoustics are different when there are lots of people in the hall and when there are hardly any.

It was a great live.

The merch was expensive. The set was 15,000, the cap 4,000, and the MFM special issue 2,800...

For GIZA, there’d be no point in touring nationwide if they didn’t make money off merch.

I watched the Hello Sadness PV, and did Yurippe put on a little weight? No, if anything, I prefer her like this, but her upper arms looked pretty sturdy (maybe it was the clothes...)

I’ve had enough of the Okamoto corner already. Are the drums still loud?

Looks like we’ll be standing for three or four hours straight. Gotta go easy on the water, huh.

つ Pampers

There’s no screen around the drums?

Test

>44 Is Okamocchi really that bad? I think he’s pretty good, though. As for the drums, I dunno... I think lowering the volume on the mic picking up the drums would take care of it, but I thought his facial expressions were really uniqueｗ

>19 didn’t go to Nagoya, right? I’m curious what it was actually like there. I seriously hate not being able to hear the keyboard. I like Nana so much I bought tickets for both days. I’m not even joking, I want to wear hearing aids...orz

Maybe I’ll email them through the official site and ask them to change the drummer because he’s too loud.

I’m gonna wear a Goo.N Super Big diaper and go. I’m worried, after all. It’s my first time standing for three hours straight, too.

The drums would probably sound the same no matter who played them in that venue. The annoying part was how he dragged things out weirdly after the song ended, making it hard to know when to clap. Everyone around him had already finished playing, but he kept drumming like it was a solo. You’re not an official member... Also, Furu-i-san and Okamoto-san were gesturing to the staff to “turn it down,” and even calling staff onto the stage to give them instructions. The volume did change right afterward, but they couldn’t fine-tune it, so the sound was still all over the place. That’s not what professional performers should be doing. What a letdown.

>53 Well, it can’t really be helped at first.

>49 If anything, they don’t need a mic on the drums at all. The natural sound is more than loud enough.

Drums getting loud is the same for every band at live houses. It was the staff’s mistake.

I was around the fourth row from the front, and I thought the drums coming through the speakers were loud too. The high-pitched ring of the snare rim was harsh. Feels like the PA could balance it out by cutting that. I think the drummer is good. He rarely messed up with the backing tracks, and the heavy groove on STAY made the song even better. Very professional. But I think I prefer Marvin Lenore’s stability. Everyone was making all kinds of gestures during the middle section. Yurippe kept touching her in-ear monitors too, so she looked like she was having trouble singing.

Was Yurippe’s voice coming out well like last year? Did she mess up any lyrics?

I’m going to Kawasaki too. I went to the Kyoto event last month as well, so the live is my main reason for going, but once I’m there, I’ll probably feel like buying a CD to get the postcard tooｗ

The backing track was so loud that I can’t be sure, but in the middle, I felt like her pitch went sharp sometimes. Her singing on STAY was really good, though. So Yurippe was probably as good as last year. I was completely in a trance toward the end, so I don’t know. And my memory of the lyrics is shaky anyway, so I can’t say for sure...

>58 She sounded great. I was blown away during STAY.

Wait, they’re not going to sing Eririn at the live? That song is the best...

Hold upｗｗｗ Do the four GC members read 2ch all the time?ｗｗｗｗ http://anchorage.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1235049082/863 By the way, the post above is from 10/1. Anyone who went to Nagoya yesterday will surely get it.

Well, if I were GARNET CROW, I’d probably be too curious not to look...

Anyone buy the pamphlet? What were the cover and contents like?

Looks like there’s a Tenkaippin ramen place in Kawasaki. I got a free ramen coupon on Tenichi Day on 10/1, so I’m gonna eat there before heading to the venue! Sorry if I’m reeking of garlic. Though I guess I’ll have to apologize to Yurippe for thatｗ

I wonder what time today’s free live will end. My Yokohama live tickets arrived, but I wasn’t home, so they left a delivery slip. Would it be okay to choose delivery after 7 tonight?

Seriously, rain again today?ｗ Mochi, I’m counting on youｗ It rained in Kyoto too, didn’t itｗ Taking an umbrella is such a painｗ

Ah, I’m gonna have the mail delivered tomorrow morning after all. Today was supposed to be the day I went out to buy an iPod touchｗ

Just finished calling the post office. I’m off to Kawasaki!

>63 I have no idea what you mean. What’s this about the 10/1 post? Give us more details, please.

>71 Apparently there were already 20 people holding spots at 9.

>72 It means the 2ch post was made before the live. Finally found the landing point. But looking at the album’s overall level of completion, I think it’s their best. There isn’t one song that makes me go “This is it!”, but the album has no major ups and downs and is highly polished. I see it as the first GARNET CROW work where they smoothed out the individuality of each song and tuned everything together really well. GH03 and Nana-sama said something along these lines. The phrase “landing point” is practically word-for-word.

>64 A show I worked on has been broadcast nationwide every week since this year, but I’ve never looked at the related 2ch thread. (Honestly, I’m really curious, but I’m scared of how they’d tear it apart.)(´･ω･`)

At the live, Yurippe asked Nana-san a question and then immediately went to get a drink. When I saw Nana-san say, “You’re not planning to pick up my comment, huh~,” I thought these people really are close. The thing I hate most is when a group I like breaks up after a fight, so I hope they keep going like this forever. But this live was...　　　　　　　　　　40 points (?)

>74 Seriously? This is a first. Though it might just be an insanely coincidental match.

>74 The person who made that post is Nana-san.

>74 Both Nana-sama and the poster copied one of Yurippe’s comments. (I don’t remember whether she actually made a comment like that, though.)

What everyone was saying was “a feeling of landing,” not “a landing point.” It’s a phrase Mochi has used over and over in all kinds of placesｗｗｗ Seems like she said it at a Fan Festa or something too, so it probably wasn’t one of the members.

It’d be a shame if the rain got heavier at today’s Kawasaki show... I wonder what things are like there now.

Huh? It suddenly cleared up... How’s Kawasaki? @ Tokyo

What are you doing with your bags and stuff? Would they be out of the way if you put them by your feet? I’m weirdly worried about little things like this(´･ω･｀)

I’m curious what kind of differences they’ll bring out between Kawasaki and Osaka.

What kind of venue is Nishinomiya Sky Gardens? Do you watch standing up?

Has Kawasaki already gotten crowded?

I’m in Oimachi right now~

This is my first time going to Kawasaki. I’m in Yokohama now; I wonder if everyone’s already there? I’m nervous since I’m alone;

>87 Looks like we’re on the same train.

>88 I think it’ll be fine even if you’re alone. I’m alone too, and I’m sure there are lots of other people by themselves. I’m still in Kamiooka, though. I wonder if there are already lots of people there.

>89 Seriously? (^-^)b

シャー

Yeah, probably.

Admission tickets for the event are apparently still available☆ Everybody hurry!!!

Oops, wrong threadｗ

Are you alone? Wanna go together~?

>74 At the fan event I went to on 9/19, Mochi said something like how they’d made a great 7th album with a feeling of landing (like having both feet firmly planted on the ground). You’re just overthinking it. I think the “landing point” in that 2ch post meant that after repeatedly experimenting with all kinds of things on albums five and six (new challenges in a good sense, losing their way in a bad sense), they’d finally found somewhere to stop.

I’m alone anyway, so whatever, but I’m 15 years old.

From Kawasaki: It started raining ／(^o^)＼

Sorry. We’re way too far apart in ageｗ

There are way too many peopleｗ I can’t see.

I wanna go to Kawasaki. But it’s kinda far.

There are so many people~ Eighty minutes to go, huh. And it’s raining. I’m killing time somewhere.

ﾋｯﾋｯﾋﾋｯﾋｯﾋﾋｯﾋｯﾋ

>98 Maybe you’re not looking anymore. Are you a high school freshman? Being alone in the rain is rough, huh.

There’s a keyboard. I wonder if Nana-sama will come.

>106 I thought so too. Is she coming?

>105 I’m in my third year of middle school. Yeah, it’s pretty rough~

Furui-san or Nana-san, one of them is bound to come.

I’m alone too.

The guitarist is Oga-san~

Music Freak is really goodｗｗｗ I wondered if I should pay for a collection of free papers, but I’m so glad I bought itｗｗｗ

One of the family? behind me talks like a total otaku, and it’s annoying... On top of that, they keep loudly saying stuff like “Nana otaku and old-guy otaku won’t comeｗ” and “Mochi otaku will desperately comeｗ”

>113 There are actually a lot of Gane fans who talk like that in real life. Whenever I’m lining up at a live or event, there’s always someone having conversations like that in front of or behind me...

Okamocchi suddenly popped out of nowhereｗ

>112 The MFM ZARD version was pretty decent too. I’ll buy it at the next Yokohama BLITZ show.

I can’t see through this umbrella aaaaaaaaaa

>85 You can get a good idea by looking at ttp://nishinomiya-gardens.com/sky.html If you go early, you might be able to sit down. If there aren’t any seats, I guess it’ll be standing room in the space beside or behind the stage.

The umbrella lol

Behind the stage? That’s brutalｗ

So basically, it’s already startedｗ

>118 Thanks. I’m thinking of going right when it opens to secure a seat, but is staying there for four hours from 10 to 2 too rough...?

I saw the real Yurippe for the first time. She’s cute.

Umbrellas are so annoying aaaaaaaaaa

They should just ban umbrellas...

The water dripping off the umbrella next to me is hitting my face aaaaaaaaaa

Lucky everyone who’s at the venue~ I wanted to go too(´・ω・｀)

Are they singing STAY? It’s only one or two songs, right?

No sentimental songs so far.

I’m happy they even did an encore.

Fukuoka show tickets shipped　Report　Still waiting?(・∀・ )っ/凵⌒☆ﾁﾝﾁﾝ

◇ Previous thread GARNET CROW part.216 http://keijiban2.forums-free.com/garnet-crow-part-216-t207.html

Could someone tell me the setlist?

Yume Mita Hana wa Saite Stay Mysterious Eden

The Kawasaki event is over. Yurippe’s hand was so warmｗｗｗ Yurippe was on piano.

>135 There was a handshake event?!...

Nana-san didn’t come... I was secretly hoping she would, though.

Handshakes are prohibited.

It’s in numerical orderｗｗｗ People in the 100s are gonna have a rough time.

From what I can see while waiting in line, Okamochi is casually shaking everyone’s hands www His smile is dazzling wwwww

>139 ﾉｼ People in the 100s.

>135 Did Yurippe sing every song while playing piano? I’m jealous of everyone who lives near Kawasaki... They should hand out event tickets in the countryside too.

I looked next to me and there was someone in the high 300s. The wait is gonna be brutal.

>139 I bought it at the venue, so I got number 453＼(^o^)／

Everyone who went looks like they’re having fun! Sorry to cut in with something random, but I’ve got worries of my own, and my brain’s hard drive was low-capacity to begin with, so it feels like it’s about to explode. My head hurts until I solve them.

>142 Yume Mita Ato de and Hana wa Saite— were sung while playing piano. She only played piano during the instrumental break in STAY.

Does Okamoto do the vocals on Mysterious?

>147 No.

Event report. Around 1:15, Okamocchi appeared. About five minutes later, Yurippe appeared. Public rehearsal (Koyoi Eden) At 2:05, the event started. 1. Yume Mita Ato de 2. Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete 3. STAY 4. Misuai Encore: Koyoi Eden Yurippe’s voice wasn’t coming out at first, but she finished strong.

I listened to LOCKS and Towa Bare, which haven’t gotten very good reviews, and they’re unbelievably great. This album knocked me flat, and I like them even more now.

How did the passersby react?

>151 Quite a lot of people were watching from the walkways equivalent to the second and third floors. Yume Mita sounded like the high notes were difficult for her, but STAY was absolutely incredible.

>150 You’re a true Gane fan.

There are people lining up over and overｗ I forgot to shake hands, orz

Additional info for >149: After the live ended before 3, Yurippe and Mochi sat down with their backs to the audience and took commemorative photos from the stage. After that, they started handing out postcards. Handshakes were prohibited, but lots of people did shake hands, and you could say a word or two.

>153 You make it sound like criticizing the work means you’re not a real fan.

Far left → 3rd Left-wing → 6th Center-left → 7th Center-right → 4th Far right → 5th Non-political → 1st, 2nd

STAY was insanely good. I got goosebumps. The event is still going on.

I’m starting to look forward to tomorrow’s Nishinomiya Sky Gardens(*´∀｀*)

Yurippe casually going back to the keyboard and tinkling away during STAY’s instrumental break was so cuteeeeeee. The idiot behind me kept using his phone and it was so annoying. I almost beat him up in the bathroom.

I was staring at Yurippe’s chest and missed my chance to talk to her, orz

>149 Oh, thanks. This will be useful for planning my trip to Nishinomiya tomorrow.

I said, “I love you, Yurippe,” and she replied, “Wow, thank you~”(´-ω-`) So moe. When it came to handshakes, the ones who went for it won. I got a proper handshake with both of them.

>156 No, it’s just that we had the same opinion, so I got happy and blurted that outｗ I don’t actually think criticizing something means you’re not a real fan.

The live just ended, and now they’re doing events one after another... Is Yurippe okay...?

>165 Yeah, it’s worrying. I hope Yurippe doesn’t catch swine flu.

You guys, there’s a Kawasaki Awa Odori going on south of Kawasaki Station.

>163 Jealous of the handshake~ I said, “I’ve been supporting you since middle school. I’m looking forward to more wonderful songs,” and Yurippe said, “Oh, really~ Thank you.” That alone was more than enough, but she was so cute in person.

What’s your favorite song on STAY~Yoake no Soul?

A passing middle-aged lady compared the person to Mochi’s left with the panel and muttered, “They look pretty different.” That’s because that person wasn’t Nana-sama.

The first time, I was near the front, so I didn’t shake hands. Then I watched what was happening, and tons of people were shaking hands!! The second time, I went for it. I took a commemorative photo too, so it turned into an awesome event.

>166 True. They’re already tired, and shaking hands with a bunch of random people seems like a good way to catch something. Not just Yurippe—everyone, wash your hands.

Don’t shake hands with my Yurippeヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Have a Yuriny before shaking hands.

How many people are there in Kawasaki? I think it was over 10,000 for Kuraki’s event, right?

What do the postcards look like?

>176 The album cover. A B

I’m thinking of buying STAY at Nishinomiya Sky Gardens tomorrow. Do you think the first-press edition will already be sold out?

The postcards are the two versions from the limited album editions. The pink and orange ones. They’re higher quality than the ones they handed out in Nihombashi and Kyoto.

>178 There should be plenty.

Thanks for the setlist. What was Eden like? Did Yurippe play piano?

>170 That cracked me upｗ You mean the staff member whose hairstyle is the only thing that resembles early Kuraki, right?

They’re selling it. The event tickets won’t sell out.

The people around them must be saying, “Who’s that?”

What time did it go until? I wish I’d gone.

>173 I agree. The audience has terrible manners. I hope they let her wrists rest for tomorrow’s piano performance in Nishinomiya. I went to the “Hana wa Saite~” event in Nihombashi, Osaka, and there weren’t any shameless idiots trying to shake hands.

I spotted GIZA’s representative creep-otaku director H. SASAMOTO (mixi name: Sasamocchi) at the venue again todayｗ

What was Yurippe wearing?

That event was good enough to charge money for. I wanted to hear Mysterious Eyes.

I compared the 1st and 7th album cover photos, and cracked up at how little everyone had changedｗ Mochi’s gaze was even exactly the sameｗｗｗ

At the very end of Koi no Aima ni, the guitar(?) sound shifts to the right. Is it supposed to be like that?

Honestly, it felt more fulfilling than the fan event. I wish they’d put everyone on stage at the fan event too and hand out something like signed postcards.

Even though they said, “Please refrain from shaking hands,” the first seeded participant, the person in a wheelchair, shook hands anyway. The official number one was a guy around fifty. He’s someone I see as a rival in all sorts of ways. I lost to him again.

Is Thomas not there?

They should say handshakes are prohibited instead of “please refrain.” They’re so strict about the no-photography rule, but they can’t protect the artist’s body? It pisses me off.

But you could take as many photos as you wanted from the second floor. I really should’ve brought my 428. I did manage to capture Yurippe’s cold stare between handshakes with a compact camera and teleconverter, though.

I wanted the staff to slap the hand of anyone shameless enough to force a handshake.

I don’t like them enough to go to a live, but there happened to be an event nearby today, so I checked it out. There sure are a lot of male fans. The age range was pretty high too, which surprised me. The vocalist was unexpectedly airheaded and cute.

I couldn’t go today, but if they told you, “Please refrain from shaking hands,” then as fans we should follow that properly. They probably said it because of things like the flu. If someone asks for a handshake, the members can’t exactly refuse.

I wonder if anyone’s going straight to see moumoon after this.

Is the Kawasaki event still going? Are there any CDs left??

>201 It ended more than an hour agoｗ

I’m getting nervous about tomorrow... When I’m standing in front of Yurippe, I might only be able to say some cliché line like “Good luck,” and nothing else(つ△<*)

>202 Figures... I’d been looking forward to it forever and even held off on buying the album, and then work had to come up on a day like this(;_;)

ttp://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20091003-00000159-sph-ent Apparently there were around 5,000 people... And their ages are displayed loud and clearｗ

>204 Since you couldn’t make it to this event, why not send a request through the official site saying something like, “Please hold another event sometime”? I think the staff really do check those kinds of fan opinions.

>198 In Nagoya it was about 7 men to 3 women, and there were lots of middle-aged and older people too. So Kawasaki was like that as well, huh（・∀・）.

There are pictures. ttp://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/entertainment/news/20091003-OHT1T00159.htm

Yomiuri Group, GJ.

>208 She’s so cute dressed like Heidi! Okamocchi got cut off the picture!!

Glad the rain stopped. I wish they’d ban umbrellas...

I was moved seeing Yuri-san at the live.

Someone please answer >191...

There’s no way there were 5,000ｗｗ

5,000 people actually showed up? I wonder how many stickers they handed out.

Yurippe and Mochi are only one year apart in age, huh.

I just got to Lazona. There’s no trace that Yurippe was ever here(T_T) >206 I’ll email them asking them to come to Lazona again.

I was moved seeing Yurippe and Okamocchi in person for the first time(*´∇｀*) I was incredibly nervous when getting the postcard, but I somehow managed to say “Good luck”(´・ω・`) It’s not exactly close from my house to Kawasaki, but I hope they hold another event at Lazona.

5,000ｗ I didn’t go, so I don’t know, but were there really that many?ｗ

Does Yurippe get a new tambourine for every live?

5,000 is half the fixed-seat capacity? That’s amazingｗ

Today’s album chart: *1　Ayaka *2　Backstreet Boys *3　Madonna *4　Mariah Carey　*5　MiChi *6　AI *7　The Beatles BOX　*8　Superfly *9　GARNET CROW 10　Arashi

At first, Mochi’s mic wasn’t live. Yurippe apologized for mixing up Yokohama, saying, “On the 12th at... Zepp? Sorry, Yokohama BLITZ.” “Akasaka BLITZ is November 24... (looks at the staff, like, is that right?)” Once, a speaker suddenly let out a piercing squeal, and Yurippe froze with an “Oh!” look on her faceｗ A moth flew in while she was singing, and she flinched. So cuteｗ

>215 It felt like there weren’t even 1,000 peopleｗ The attendance numbers at events like this are usually massively inflated, so don’t believe them.

I think Audrey’s event had 12,000 people.

>208 Too cute(*>∀<*) Yurippe really does look great with a ponytail!!

Maybe that number included passersby too. If so, it could be about that many.

Their ages are listedｗ

32 and 33, huh.

Looks more fun than the fan event... I’m jealous.

>223 She’s so cute. She said, “There are only two of us today, but the tour has all four of us, so I think you’ll be able to enjoy it four times as much.” I was thinking, “Not twice as much...?” The vocalist is so cute.

Reading >223 and >221 together, Yurippe is starting to seem incredibly airheaded.

Their agesｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Seriously, with this “5,000 people” thing, they must’ve counted all the passersby in the area too...

Apparently there were 5,000 green flyers. The bug that had landed on Yurippe landed on the old guy in front of me during the handshake event. I wanted to catch it and take it home. After shaking hands, I went to the bathroom, but every stall was occupied, and there were even people waiting. It was full both times. What the hell were you guys doing?

>230 It was their first acoustic show in a while, so it was really good. The chorus of Stay gave me goosebumps. I even went around for three postcards, and it was more satisfying than the fan event.

ID:tZDBrXpEO That’s just too sad...(ノД`)

I don’t know the capacity of the Kawasaki venue, but if 5,000 people really showed up, won’t Nishinomiya Gardens’ Sky Garden be in trouble tomorrow?? I went there before, and the viewing seats alone can’t hold even 1,000 people. Even if they don’t use the viewing seats and use all the space in Sky Garden, wouldn’t 5,000 people cause a crowd-crush chain reaction? I took a picture around the stage, so here it is for reference (virus-checked). http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/Sc/so/42087 (Sorry, PC only. It’s from a several-generations-old phone, so please forgive the image quality.)

>237 Thanks! I’d never been there, but it looks like a nice place.

So the theory that Yurippe was born in 1977 was right after all.

>181 Eden only had Okamocchi on guitar. Yurippe said they hastily rehearsed it for the encore. Since Eden was also played at the public rehearsal, I assumed it was part of the main set.

For those going to Nishinomiya tomorrow, what time are you going to secure a spot?

She’s so cute you’d never guess she was 32. Even if she’s technically an older lady by age, Yurippe is still moe.

They wrote “(32)” on the entertainment board. Is it really okay to reveal that without permission?

>241 Not sure if this helps, but Kawasaki started at 2 p.m. At 10 a.m. it was the second row, and even at noon it was around the fourth row. Feels like people who weren’t fans started gathering once Yume Mita Ato de began.

You guys, I refrained from shaking hands, but I guess the ones who did came out on top. They also played Futari no Rocket at rehearsal. The show on the 12th might be rough: the old guys’ body odor and bad breath were awful, and the fat guys smelled too, so I’m worried whether I can last three hours. Please observe basic etiquette; you can prevent this stuff by going to a drugstore. I’m not joking, it’s basic social common sense. Your company tells you this kind of thing too, right?

During the talk, Okamocchi said LOCKS was Caesar salad, and this time was beef tendon stew. Yuri-san and Okamocchi both responded to everyone properly, which made me happy. People going to Nishinomiya, enjoy yourselves too.

Oh, another thread has been started. This one was quick. 【Music】GARNET CROW holds a live commemorating the release of their new album “STAY~Yoake no Soul~” http://yutori7.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mnewsplus/1254561640/

>243 That’s what I thought too, but don’t post it here either.

>237 The population sizes of the Tokyo metro area and the Keihanshin area are different, so I don’t think it’ll reach 5,000. Still, thanks for worrying. I’ll be careful not to fall off Sky Garden.

>241 I can’t reveal my strategy.

>250 Same here.

If you wear an HMV shirt, you’ll make it to the very front whether you want to or not. I got a blown kiss from the second-floor seats today too.

>246 Were they talking about food againｗ

>246 It’s funny, but since we don’t know what Caesar salad and beef tendon stew represent to Mochi, I don’t really get what she was trying to sayｗ

At the Kyoto event, Okamocchi was also asked what his impression of Nana was, and he said, “Like the weather in England.” (Meaning changeable and hard to pin down.) What a unique comparisonｗ

>234 Do you mean the “Ichimonji” below? ttp://www.petippai.com/insect/catalog/061.html No, when I first read it, “Ichimonji” only made me think of a person’s surname (like Hayato Ichimonji), so I thought some pervert had shown up.

They deleted the agesｗｗｗ Guess it was a bad idea after all.

The umbrella hell during rehearsal had me wondering what to do, but I’m just glad it cleared up. That’s all that matters.

The ages are gone. Too late now, though.

↓ Event report ttp://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000053697

Either the person in charge saw 2ch, or they saw the post below on Yahoo! ttp://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20091003-00000159-sph-ent October 3, 2009, 6:14 p.m. “Neither of them has made their age public, but they went and did it.”

According to Nana-sama, curry and stew are apparently in the same category.

What was Yurippe wearing today? Was her neckline really low?

>263 Cleavage-kun, go look at the old logs and the linked page. Don’t be so lazy.

Just look at the news like a normal person.

>264 Even looking at the linked page, her arm is blocking it so I can’t tell. Please tell me. How was it?

>260 There are quite a lot of people.

>260 Thanks for telling us. Yurippe is cute!

>260 This again. What an incredible lineup...

Someone’s wearing a Hacchan T-shirtｗ

I can tell how low the neckline was from >260. Could you see her boobs, or cleavage, when she bowed and stuff?

>260 That’s an insane crowd...

The guy in front of me was in the picture too, but I wasn’t...

How many songs do they sing on average on the tour?

>274 01 One Hundred Years of Solitude 02 Smile Once More 03 flying -MC- 04 ON THE WAY 05 Hello Sadness 06 Rhythm 07 Into the Sunny Sea Without Water -MC- 08 Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete 09 Rainy Soul 10 Go For It -MC- 11 Our Future Alone 12 Mysterious Eyes (Okamocchi) -MC- 13 Stay -MC- 14 Yume Mita Ato de 15 Nora 16 Naked Story -MC- 17 Doing all right (singalong) 18 Tears of Yesterday 19 Koyoi Eden no Katasumi 20 Argentina 21 Fall In Life ~Hallelujah~ Encore 22 Hibi no Hotori -MC- 23 Futari no Rocket 24 Spiral

I was standing in line and some weird woman cut in front of me and yelled at me. It was my first time seeing this, but while it wasn’t everyone, there sure were a lot of creeps.

Yurippe’s features looked kind of sunken, didn’t they? Up close, her makeup wasn’t sitting very well either. She was cute, though.

How many people did Yurippe shake hands with today? Anyone who went should have a rough idea.

>276 I bet you were the biggest creep of allｗ

The numbered tickets went up to 500. It lasted about an hour, judging by the ticket distribution time.

>277 Her features really were quite deep-set, huh. And she was definitely thin.

ID:4/2MPvtXO Gross...

>280 Did most of the 500 people shake hands?

Maybe around a third shook hands. Also, a few people just ignored Okamocchi.

Man, you really are gross~

Even estimating conservatively, 90% shook hands. There might even have been double-digit numbers of people who completely ignored Mochiｗ

Being’s group, huh. Sounds like things are pretty tough for them. During lives, they come to the venue later by taxi to help out. Maybe they’re different departments; it seems like GIZA is divided into all kinds of sections. Apparently there are group companies within GIZA too. Around August this year, Being Group was recruiting employees. Apparently some employees had quit.

>286 Seriously!? What should I do in Nishinomiya tomorrow... Should I hold back after all?

>241 I’ll arrive by 6 at the latest.

They had two short breaks in between, so it must’ve been pretty tiring.

>288 At most half of them violated the no-handshake rule. I didn’t shake hands, but I was glad I got to have a little conversation. The people who talked for a long time had a staff member reach out and stop them.

>291 I see, thanks. I guess I’ll just have a brief conversation too.

“Maybe around a third” and “even conservatively, 90%” are completely different. Which one is right?

>282 The way your tone changed in >279 is incredible.

Yuri-san and Okamocchi didn’t give perfunctory responses, so I was a little moved. Anyway, people in Kansai, enjoy Okamocchi’s talking too. Be sure to check out the rehearsal too!

Honestly, there haven’t been many days since the first tour date, so I wish people wouldn’t tire Yurippe out... Ah, Mochi tooｗ

>276 >I was standing in line and some weird woman cut in front of me and yelled at me. Maybe she was being mean because she was attracted to you.

I watched from beginning to end, and it definitely felt like the people who didn’t shake hands were the minority. But everyone has their own impression.

When having a brief conversation, should you avoid topics they haven’t made public themselves, like their age or what school they went to??

>284 At the Osaka Nihombashi event, I accidentally ignored Mochi. I must’ve been dazed from the excitement of receiving a present directly from Yurippe.

The lady hosting the event kept repeating “Please refrain from shaking hands” while handing out the postcards, so it was hard to do it, and the whole atmosphere was telling you not to. I wasn’t thick-skinned enough to go that far.

I get that everyone wants to touch her, but if you really like her, show some restraint. Those idol handshake events you see on TV look brutal. What if Okamocchi gets tendonitis during the tour? The staff who couldn’t stop people are at fault too.

>299 That’s obvious, isn’t it? You really don’t get it?

・A live in Kawasaki ・It became an article almost immediately Can we assume Dentsu is backing Gane now? Now that Kuraki’s big job is over, is Gane going to be all over TV next?

>303 Well... things like Mochi’s school are practically public knowledge too. Anyway, I’ll hold back.

According to >171, “the second time” means there were two chances to shake hands?

>305 >Mochi’s school If it’s her university, that’s public information. >306 They bought two albums, right?

>307 Ah, so that’s what it was! Thanks.

At first they didn’t say handshakes were prohibited, so I shook hands naturally. Partway through, it became “No handshakes due to time constraints...”

Someone said they were going to look at Yurippe’s boobs. Did they actually get to see them in the end?

>304 I don’t think they’ll be on TV nonstop, but it does feel like they desperately want to make money off them, with multiple versions and increased exposure.

You can’t tell the number of people from the queue numbers. It seems they assigned numbers separately for each store where the albums were bought. Weren’t there more than 50 people in the initial numbers 1–10? Toward the end, it was only people who bought at the venue, so if the numbers were consecutive, the number equals the headcount.

Around what time did rehearsal start in Kawasaki? (Surely nobody was taking pictures during rehearsal, right?)

If Nana-san had appeared at today’s event, we could’ve found out her age...

>312 About how many people did Yurippe shake hands with?

9/30 GARNET CROW (album / +DVD / 3 versions), Sayo Kurihara (album), GIZA JAZZ compilation (album) 10/07 Chicago Poodle (single) 10/14 B’z (single / +DVD), BREAKERZ (Budokan live DVD) 10/21 Rina Aiuchi (single / Conan / +DVD) 11/11 Slash feat. Koshi Inaba (single), BREAKERZ (single / +DVD), Aya Kamiki w/ TAKUYA (single / Kamen Rider / released by avex) 11/18 B’z (album / +DVD) 11/25 Yuka Saegusa IN db (album / +DVD), SaaSaa (single) December: BREAKERZ (album) TBA: Naifu, Yuki Okazaki (JAZZ)

>314 The theory that she was born in 1974 is the strongest. It’s probably right. This is kind of an unspoken understanding around here, so there’s no need to pry into it. >315 Probably around 1,500–2,000 people...

Do CDs sold at the event count toward Oricon and such?

>318 They do, since it was HMV. Now that I think about it, I’ve spent 20,000 yen on albums... And I still have the live to pay for.

>319 Thanks.

Probably around 1,500–2,000 people... Is that for real?

When Yurippe takes commemorative photos with fans, she usually presses right up against the person next to her, but this time she kept a fair bit of distance, maybe because it was Mochiｗ

Yurippe shook hands with 1,500–2,000 people? How many hours would that take?

>323 At five seconds per person, that’s 166 minutes.

I’m going to Nishinomiya alone from Kobe tomorrow. Are there many guys going alone?

>335 Quite a few.

There haven’t been many songs using falsetto lately.

>327 Yeah.

>313 Read the old logs before asking.

The thread is moving way too fast...

I wonder if handshakes will be okay tomorrow, orz >325 I’m a woman going alone too. I’m wondering if I’ll stand out going in by myself at a place like that.

Does Yurippe maybe shake hands with both hands? If she uses both hands, it would feel like your hand was being wrapped up.

Kawasaki: Rehearsal around 13:30–13:40 Futari no Rocket Koyoi Eden no Katasumi They lightly did Mysterious Eyes too, and Yuri-san and Okamocchi had a bit of talk.

>332 Some people got both hands, and some got one. It’s luck.

>331 When you go to events, have you ever worried about someone who was alone? That’s what I mean, so there’s no problem.

Yurippe touching a guy’s hand with both hands is kinda erotic. Getting touched with both hands would make your heart skip a beat.

32, 33, 36, 42.

Have any of the guys here had their hand shaken with both of her hands?

Maybe offer your left hand.

Come to think of it, when Yurippe and Okamocchi were leaving, some guy in his fifties was caught taking pictures and got into an argument with the staff. No photography, people~

>260 Yes! I’m in the picture!! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime keepsake. I’ll blow it up and put it on my wall. There were so many cameras, so maybe the official site will post it too.

>260 I can’t save the picture...

>340 There was someone like that...? Also, right before rehearsal started, when Okamocchi came out, someone tried to take a picture, right? The staff stepped in front of Okamocchi and warned them. >341 Lucky... I was on the left, so there wasn’t even a chance of me appearing, not even just my hand, orz Come to think of it, weren’t there staff filming with something like a handycam too?

>341 Congrats. I was at the edge, so no luck. If I’d known, I would’ve gone to the middle.乙

More than 350 posts in one day? How crazyｗ That’s rough for us phone users...

Nana lives in Kansai → the nearest airport is KIX → what flights leave KIX around 1:05? I Googled it wondering about that, but couldn’t figure it out. Well, if the flight at the beginning of “Hello Sadness” is domestic, would it be Itami? But judging from the “I wonder if we’ll meet again someday” part, it seems like an international flight → departing from KIX. Where on earth did the person the protagonist misses goｗ?

>343 There was. A handycam. At first I thought the woman with the single-lens reflex camera was official, but she was also shooting from the Sports Hochi News angle, so maybe she was press. >342 You should be able to save it normally with “Save As.”

>346 Planes aren’t allowed to take off from Itami late at night.

>347 I get the feeling the official photographer was using a digital camera.

>The theory that she was born in 1974 is the strongest >It’s probably right >This is kind of an unspoken understanding around here, so there’s no need to pry into it What’s with this confidenceｗ Are you an AZUKI Nana researcherｗ

After shaking hands with Yurippe, I rushed straight to the bathroom! What I was doing in there is a secret.

The Nagoya show on the 2nd was my first live, and I still haven’t come down from the excitement... Whenever I listen to any Gane song, I get emotional thinking, “I heard these people’s music live.” GARNET CROW is amazing.

>350 >Are you an AZUKI Nana researcherｗ Maybe they are.

>351 You didn’t do anything before the handshake, did you!?(`ヘ')

>353 Well, if that’s true, I’d like them to submit a paper.

らげ is gonna show upｗ

>352 I’m still excited too. I’m listening to my music files now with the track order rearranged to match the Nagoya setlist.

I wonder if らげ will ever come back~

After I go to Yokohama BLITZ, my autumn will be over(´；ω；｀)

>357 We’re the sameｗ Putting the songs in live-show order is such a great idea! Thanks, I’m going to try it too.

>354 I’m a gentleman too. I won’t cause Yurippe any trouble.

Starting with the sixth album, they’ve been adding bonus extras like DVDs and alternate-version CDs to the first-press editions. You can see hints of an intention to make us buy two or more copies—is that company policy? Do the members know about it? If they’re doing it knowingly, it’s kind of sad. I feel like a fish being lured in with little bits of bait（金∀金）♪ I’d rather they made them separate products and released them all together.

For this live, I really wish they’d projected the lyrics on a screen like last year. I barely knew the new-song lyrics by heart, so I got a little flustered. ...Ah, projecting the lyrics would create a different problem too...

Isn’t the multiple-version sales thing just the company making the decision on its own?

How was Yurippe’s piano? Was it an event with just Mochi and Yurippe, without any support members?

I don’t know if it’s still listed, but around 2002, an artist directory had the birth dates of all four members. I think Yurippe was born in 1974.

Huh, there was a “Nana was born in ’74” theory up above... My memory’s fuzzy, so I might be wrong. What about Yurippe...? Whatever.

>367 It’s ’73—no, ’77, right?

Kurose looks like he’s going to heat things up even more. Make it stopｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>362 This bundled-sales crap is outrageous. But it’s company policy. There’s no way they could release multiple versions without the members’ approval.

>366 >368 is right. There was an age leak yesterday evening. Go read the old logs.

I messed up... >366, it’s ’77.

Even if you don’t approve of the multiple versions, you still buy them, right? In other words, the sales side wins.

>357 I’m doing that too. There are lots of things I want to say about Nagoya, but just getting to see GARNET CROW was satisfying enough. Still, maybe because they performed in one of those all-standing venues, I felt Yurippe was forcing her voice too much. And the drums really should’ve been preprogrammed by God Hand beforehand.

May my dick not turn into Nana-sama.

Yesterday’s live was easy to listen to, which was nice. It was powerful even without drums, and I think that kind of sound is good. They debuted as a neo-acoustic act, after all.

For anyone who went to Nagoya, was 80.0 available at the merch booth? Also, about how much was the strap? I want to buy merch, but I’m broke...orz

Why don’t they announce the merch? Are they not even trying?

>377 I was hoping for it too, but it wasn’t there. I don’t remember how much the strap was. >378 Maybe the strategy is to make people buy because of the venue’s fuiinki (for some reason it won’t convert)? Like, don’t let people plan aheadｗ

When LOCKS came out, I was short on money, so after agonizing over it I bought the version that came with the Ninnaji live DVD. Then they released the Ninnaji live DVD separately later...(泣) I wanted to see Nana-sama’s wink during Tears of Yesterday on TV, orz

>379 If you can’t convert it, read over what you wrote more carefully.

>381 http://society6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/gline/1193054078/

>381 Waitｗ

>377 The strap was 800 yen. I didn’t buy it because personally I thought the design was...ｗ I would’ve wanted 80.0 if they’d had it...

Yesterday’s event article was on docomo’s i-channel. I was so happy I saved a screen memo of it.

Apparently there’s a thing lately called deliberately serious replies, but this one...

The intro to Stay sounds like some other song, but I can’t remember which one.

>387 Call my name?

>388 Sorry, I meant Mariah Carey’s “I’ll Be There.” Though it doesn’t seem that similar after all.

I kept thinking the chorus of Hello Sadness sounded like something, and it turned out to be B’z’s Splash. I can finally restｗ

>389 I see. Glad you figured it out. I actually thought it might be Call my name too and listened to it again, but something felt different. The moment I first heard the intro to Stay, I was sure it sounded like the intro to some GARNET CROW song... I still can’t remember which one, and it’s driving me crazy, orz

>390 Ah... it really does sound similar. Like a sense of speed, or that rapid-fire, breathless feeling...

Hibi no Hotori The chorus sounds a tiny bit like “Like I Went Back to Being a Girl.” But once you start bringing up stuff like this, it never ends.

To put it extremely bluntly, all Japanese pop music is a rip-off of Western musicｗ

But I feel like a lot of Gane melodies sound familiar, like I’ve heard them somewhere before. If I say that, people will probably tell me to get my ears checkedｗ Or maybe the songs I heard somewhere were actually Gane songsｗ

Japanese pop is pretty forgiving about everything except stolen lyrics. Lyrics are dangerous because paranoid old people will sue right away.

Even though they name the live tour after the album, do they not actually play every song from that album? They didn’t play Haru Matsu~ during the TWILIGHT VALLEY tour either. Elysium and Koi no Aima ni feel like pretty central songs, though.

>357 Me tooｗ I still haven’t come down from the excitement. At GARNET CROW lives, I want the drums to use programmed drums, effects, or electronic drums to recreate the CD sound. The parts synced to the backing track were too quiet, weren’t they? The little call-and-response vocal phrases are important in GARNET CROW songs, aren’t they? Having us sing them to recreate it is fine too, but I’d rather have the CD sound reproduced like at Ninnaji.

About how many hours did yesterday’s event last? What time did Yurippe finish handing out the postcards?

To everyone going to Nishinomiya: Please directly tell Yurippe, “We don’t need Kurose.”

Starting with Friday’s live, I’m going to see GARNET CROW three days in a row.

>397 What!? So the list posted above was the actual setlist? How could they leave out these two songs, which are probably among the most popular on the 7th album?

About how many people were lined up to receive the postcards?

There were Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, and maybe some Brazilians too.

Kawasaki: 13:30– Rehearsal 14:00– Live & talk 14:35– Encore 14:45– Postcard handout ~16:00 Commemorative photos, end Everyone going to Nishinomiya, have fun.

Was Yurippe using a corded mic? Didn’t it make moving around difficult?

>405 If the postcard handout lasted 80 minutes, and you figure ten seconds per person for talking with Yurippe and the others, does that mean around 480 people were lined up to receive them?

Yurippe sang, played tambourine, and played piano while moving around. I think more than 500 people received postcards. Nishinomiya is probably going to be an even bigger madhouse.

>408 Did the postcard handout finish around 4 p.m.?

>402 They even went as far as making a PV for it. Maybe they’ll change the setlist partway through the tour.

>402 How could you know what’s popular after only three daysｗ Besides, even if you knew, it’s not like they could change it.

>405 Am I reading that schedule right? The postcard handout ended at 4 p.m.?

>408 >237 Apparently GARNET CROW isn’t very popular in the Kansai area. I think 100 people showing up for postcards would be a good turnout.

So what time did the postcard handout actually end?

>402 I told you, the core of STAY is Stay, Hibi no Hotori, and Rainy Soul!

Right around 4 p.m. sharp!

You should take part in the event starting with rehearsal. I was surprised by how friendly Yurippe and Okamocchi were. They’ll probably talk about the weather tooｗ Those going to Nishinomiya, please ask Okamocchi what “LOCKS is Caesar salad” and “STAY is beef tendon stew” mean.

>415 I can let Elysium go, but Koi no Aima ni is the album closer, so I still can’t accept it being left out. Though I’m not going to the live, so there’s no point in getting madｗ

There are, though—tickets are still being sold!

Gardens itself opens at 9, but Sky Garden doesn’t open until 10... The wait is going to be painful.

They must already be staking out spots by now.

I’m near the Hankyu entrance until 10.

>420 People are already lining up. Can we get as far as the Sky Garden entrance yet?

What’s the situation in Nishinomiya right now? I’ll arrive in about twenty minutes.

>347 You’re an idiot. Are you a junior-high kid or something? That bean-tank woman is obviously the official photographer. There’s no way Hochi would stick around from rehearsal through the end. And didn’t she check the pictures she took right away on the PC in the media seats to the left of the stage? Those are the official photos being distributed. The other random cameras were just for that person’s memories or records.

There are unusually many women here... Maybe just under twenty.

This morning I found a Sports Nippon article on Yahoo about Lazona mentioning Yuri Nakamura (age undisclosed)^^;

>425 I’m not >347, but >And didn’t she check the pictures she took right away on the PC in the media seats to the left of the stage? Couldn’t they also have been checking the copyright with the newspaper’s office? Magazines check later which photos they’ll use, but newspapers get confirmation from the person in charge on site.

>425 >bean tank I haven’t heard that term in ages. Are you old, >425, or has it recently come back into fashion...?

Oops. × the newspaper’s office side ○ the newspaper checking with the office side

Sky is open now. You guys, don’t run through the fountainｗ What a chaotic sceneｗ

>432 There are a lot of energetic kids here, huh.

Sorry, I messed up the anchor. >432 → >431

Everyone dashed as soon as Sky Garden openedｗｗ People were way too desperateｗ It’s freaking hot...

>434 It’s like the Fukuo race at Nishinomiya Shrine. Could you tell us roughly how many people are taking part in the race?

There are about 30 people here now. There are still plenty of empty seats. There’s a high percentage of women at the moment. A lot of them are pretty “intense.” There seem to be some older guys too, though not many.

>370 Apparently artists don’t have the right to decide whether CDs are sold or not. http://plusd.itmedia.co.jp/lifestyle/articles/0606/12/news005.html The article says there was an artist whose fans got angry when a CD containing old recordings was sold. Once they’ve transferred the copyright, maybe artists can’t go against the company’s decisions.

>436 Thanks for the live report. When you say “intense,” what exactly is intense? Their level of GARNET CROW fandom, the color of their clothes, their makeup? If you don’t mind, please tell us.

>437 Thanks for pointing that out. If they’ve transferred the copyright to the company, then you’re right. But in Gane’s case, it’s normal for the members’ photos to appear on the jackets and lyric booklets, so I think the members’ approval would still be needed for things like that.

>428 You’d understand if you’d seen yesterday’s sceneｗ The bean-tank woman is definitely official—she had an official badge. If your theory is right, then the Hochi photographer was that old guy with the compact cameraｗ

I spotted Saida-san.

>439 That may be true about the photos... We don’t actually know what the members themselves are doing, after all. Everyone going to the event, have fun for me too(´;ω;｀)ﾉｼ

>441 So does that mean she’s the MC?

>440 Well, unfortunately I wasn’t there yesterday. I just noticed something that caught my attention while reading the posts.

>442 Thanks. I’ll have a great time.

Saida! Saida!

How many people are there now? I’m almost there.

Saida, don’t come out.

>444 I guess a low IQ makes your imagination run wild. It’s 2ch, so don’t worry about it too much.

>427 Is adding “(age undisclosed)” so deliberately a little snide?

The equipment is steadily being set up... 70% women 20% old guys

>451 Thanks for the live report. There are a lot of women, huh. Are we going to hear “Okamocchi, recently popular with women!” again?

There are several people with compact digital cameras. Are they planning to take pictures? There’s an old guy right next to me fiddling with a white digital cameraｗ He even has a screen protector on the LCDｗ

>453 There are way too many people who don’t know about publicity rights.

We don’t need reports about the old guy, Saida, or Oga.

>455 If you say that, nobody will want to do live reports anymore.

>390 Definitelyｗ It also sounds like a deep kissｗ

The GC cap worn by the old guy in front... It has absolutely no styleｗｗｗ ...Is that merch from this tour!?

Forget Yurippe—give us more details about Saida-san!!

The merch being tasteless is business as usual, so don’t worry about it.

Were there strings in Nagoya?

Pictures of this tour’s merch: http://imepita.jp/20091004/432361

Saida-san has retreated. Mic check in progress... Mochi and the others are probably eating lunch around now.

If I pulled my hand back at the moment I was supposed to shake Yurippe’s hand and casually stuck out my dick instead, would she grab it?（´・ω・｀）

Yurippe, stick a thumbtack to your hand or something.

>462 The design and everything this time is pretty half-assed, isn’t itｗ

There are still open spots at the venue. There aren’t any good seats, but you can see the stage perfectly well with the naked eye. If you don’t care about the viewing seats, there’s still plenty of room. Anyone who can come now, go for itｗ Looks like it’s nothing like Kawasakiｗ (In other words, there aren’t many customers.)

>462 乙 Once again, the merch is way beyond anything I expectedｗ

Maybe 200–300 people right now. It’ll probably increase as the start gets closer.

>465 Gentlemen don’t do that, you know?

http://www.tvlife.jp/news/ph_091003_04_001.php I can’t save the pictures...

Mochi’s here! He strummed the acoustic guitar for a bit and then left. He’s ridiculously skinnyｗｗ

>472 It’s nothing but creepy otakuｗｗｗ I’m dyingｗｗｗ

I bought it at the HMV inside and got a number in the 200s. How many minutes am I going to be waiting?

>472 Why not take a screenshot?

Rehearsal’s over! Futari no Rocket Eden (with crowd hype, making everyone sing things like “Spark!”) Futari no Rocket Same outfits as yesterday.

>473 At Lazona Kawasaki, there wasn’t even a single cheer when Mochi came outｗ There was applause and cheering when Yurippe came outｗ

At least say something like “Okamoto-san!!” (>_<) They’ve both been working hard for three days straight...

We should start a Saida chant.

Someone’s doing both Kawasaki and Nishinomiya back-to-back. Impressive.

This is the first I’ve heard about their ages. So Yurippe and Okamocchi are almost the same age. It makes me think even more that they’re such a perfect couple~ They seemed really close on the radio too. That’s what I thought today.

Seriously, show some restraint with the handshakes...

>483 Apparently people in Kansai have better manners.

>482 My non-Garnet-otaku friend who came to yesterday’s event with me said the members looked like they didn’t get alongｗ

>485 It’s not that they don’t get along. Tell them they just don’t click.

Maybe because they were talking about dividing up the work?

Same outfits as yesterday. Doesn’t that get smelly?

That makes it even better.

>488 Yurippe doesn’t sweat(´∀｀)

The event is happening right in front of me, and instead of the usual manual-like service you get at a convenience store, they put real feeling into every single interaction. This is my first time at an event like this, and I’m very impressed. I also saw Yurippe up close, and she’s beautifulｗ

>427 I bought the paper. Instead of “Yuri Nakamura (age undisclosed),” the newspaper says “Yuri Nakamura (undisclosed).” I cracked up.

That guy testing the mic kept putting his mouth right on it, and they didn’t even replace it—Yurippe used the same mic, right?

They didn’t do an encore in Nishinomiya, orz They must’ve been tired from yesterday’s rule-breaking handshake assault. I can’t help feeling a little dissatisfied.

They did radio in Kyoto all day, then events and lives in Nagoya, Kawasaki, and Osaka.

>494 They said they suddenly added an encore because they saw someone wearing a live-merch hat and thought people would ask for one. But I think the real reason was that more people showed up than expected.

And some people had been lining up since 9 in the rain.

>494 Or maybe there wasn’t an encore, and Eden was included in the main set?

She was friendly to people with toddlers too. She even touched one kid’s face. I’m so jealous. She doesn’t seem to dislike children.

She likes kids. She hates otaku.

>488 The outfits are their own clothes, so I guess it can’t be helpedｗ That pink long skirt looks like the same one she wore in the Hana wa Saite~ promo.

Yesterday felt more relaxed. Today’s one really felt like a job. Yurippe saying “Thank you” sounded kind of sad.

ﾎｯﾎｯﾎ

Bee Bee Gildan’s in there.

Oops, wrong thread, orz

Where does Yurippe buy her clothes? I want the dress from Hello Sadness.

I couldn’t make eye contact with Okamocchi... But I’m glad it was Okamocchi^^;

>507 (#￣_￣) “What’s that supposed to mean?”

>507 Maybe because the person in front of me completely ignored Mochi, when it was my turn, Mochi was looking down and his eyes were darting all overｗ There was nothing I could do, so I ended up ignoring him tooｗ

Poor Mochi.

What a cruel way to treat Mr Okamoto of the world...!

So, did you tell Mochi something like, “Kurose is useless, huh”?

>509 I’m dyingｗ ...I’m dying...

>509 Don’t ignore himｗ Yesterday Mochi gave me a tight two-handed handshake. The girl in front of me was so excited that she started bouncing up and down, and Mochi copied her and started bouncing too, which made me laugh.

Being a musician is hard in all kinds of ways, huh.

I know it’s late, but what’s the second one on B?ｗｗ It totally ruins the songｗ

>516 What’s the lyric card in B like? A is forest on both the outside and inside. I get the concept, but it’s pretty ordinary. I vaguely remember someone who bought B posting that the lyric card was cool, so I wondered if the specs were different.

>517 There are skies, trees, grapes, and stuff. It’s cool, with purple and blue tones overall.

>518 Thanks. Oh, so they are different. A is trees, trees, and more trees... Every now and then there’s a lake, waterfowl, or a horse. The colors are blue-green, purple, and yellow, with a ghost-like white haze along the bottomｗ

>517 There’s the lakeside castle, Moritzburg Castle. Also, there isn’t a dick stuck into Furui-san.

Ah, I just finished work. Time to go home.

>520 I didn’t know about it, so I Googled it. A medieval German castle, huh? Pretty cool. What’s with the old guy’s dickｗ

There is a black dick above and to the right of Furui-san.

My Fukuoka tickets arrived ｷﾀ━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━! I’m in the fan club and still got number 265.

There’s barely any Nishinomiya info being posted. Is the Kawasaki side more lively? Did people get to shake hands?

I said “Hallelujah!” to Yurippe, and she replied “Hallelujah!” I also teased Mochi, “How many of that T-shirt do you own?” and it went over surprisingly well.

My Yokohama live tickets arrived, but does being in the 1200s mean I can enter 1200th? The venue website says it holds 1,400 people, so I’ll basically be at the very back, right?orz I bought through the fan-club allotment for Sendai and Akasaka, so I’m hoping for good numbers there.

Yurippe is really friendly, huh.

I went to Nishinomiya. Yurippe was cute(*^^*) The person who started the handshakes at the Kawasaki event turned out to be a Mixi friend of a friendｗｗ Show some restraintｗｗｗ >I was number 11, so I went first among my friends. >The event was basically a postcard handoff with no handshakes. I watched the people in front of me, and none of them shook hands. >After coming all this way, I couldn’t believe they wouldn’t shake hands when Yurippe was right in front of them!! >So I stood in front of Yurippe and immediately held out my hand. >She smiled at me and gave me a firm handshake. >I was so incredibly happy that my mind went blank and I don’t remember any of it. (lol) >I said one thing to Yurippe, but what I said is a secret. I can’t tell anyone!! >Okamocchi was standing right next to her, >and I thought it would be mean to ignore him without shaking his hand—would he be hurt?—so I gave Okamocchi a firm handshake too. >But my mistake was shaking his hand with the same right hand I’d used for Yurippe!! >I should’ve used my left hand~ (lol) http://mixi.jp/show_friend.pl?id=12833474

>529 Is it okay to expose them like that? The first people in line were numbers 1–10. They were already shaking hands at that point.

I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as Yurippe before.

I finally bought the album yesterday, the limited A edition. Of the recent singles, only One Hundred Years of Solitude was any good, so I wasn’t expecting much at all. But I liked almost all of the album tracks. It feels like I got blindsided... The lyric card paper is thick, and the design and photos are really nice. I want to see the limited B lyric card too.

Those of you who came to Nishinomiya: Don’t rush home—go check out the 4 p.m. show tooｗｗ apricot was goodｗｗ It was practically empty, so I got to watch from right at the frontｗｗ

>533 Is “apricot” a new song? A cover?

The TFM public broadcast has been announced to go with Akasaka too. I wonder if I’ll win the lottery.

Where’s the new song already?

Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 4　5　8　9　9 For GARNET CROW, is this album’s chart trajectory holding up pretty well?(´･ω･`)

>535 Apparently it was a single released last November. It wasn’t a cover. Still, holding an in-store live now for something released last November seems kind of odd.

>539 There was no single released last November. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” came out on 2008.10.22, but there’s no song called “apricot” or anything similar.

Why are there no Nishinomiya reports at all? Surely everyone’s home by now, right?

Today’s report. Sorry in advance for the long post. The venue itself was pretty small, so it felt quite cramped for the audience. It couldn’t compare with Kawasaki’s 5,000 people, but since it was compact, I think you could hear the unamplified voices and guitar sound up to about the second row. I think the outfits were the same as in Kawasaki. As for the chest area (I don’t know the official name), it was that shiny outfit from the previous tour. The chest area sparkled from time to time, which was moe. At rehearsal, Mochi came out first and adjusted the instruments, then went back to the green room. After a while, he came back out with Yurippe. They played Futari no Rocket and Eden at rehearsal, and got the fans pretty hyped. The main setlist was, I think: 1. Yume Mita Ato de 2. Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete 3. Mysterious Eyes 4. Stay Please correct me if I got it wrong. During the talk, they said they were full of energy because everyone had eaten yakiniku together yesterday, and made announcements about upcoming live events and things like that. As for the fans, their manners were pretty good. Nobody forced a handshake or anything, and I don’t think anyone said anything negative during the few-second mini conversations at the event. I saw Yurippe up close, and she was too cute—or rather, too beautifulｗｗｗｗｗ By the way, apricot was an unrelated band that performed after Ganeｗ

My Fukuoka live tickets are in the 200s too, even though I’m in the fan club...

It finally arrived from Amazon. I’m listening to track six now.

I couldn’t shake hands, but I did get a high five when they were leaving after the event.

>540 This isn’t really the place for this topic, but apricot is the name of a band. GARNET CROW performed at 2, and then apricot had an in-store live at 4. GARNET CROW was packed to overflowing, with standing room full an hour before the start, but the 4 p.m. show was empty. That’s why I was saying, “Don’t go home—stick around and watch this too.” Nishinomiya Gardens live schedule: http://nishinomiya-gardens.com/event091001.html

Sorry, one more thing. It wasn’t really a problem, but at one point Okamocchi’s guitar stopped coming through the speakers. Okamocchi signaled something to the staff, and it was fixed right away. Also, there were a few places where Yurippe’s keyboard and Okamocchi’s guitar didn’t line up. I know this isn’t a combination they usually perform with, but it was “obvious” enough to be disappointing. Still, getting to hear Yurippe sing while playing was really great, and it was a valuable experience. It occurred to me that Okamocchi looked way too much like staff when he came outｗｗｗ At first I couldn’t tell him apart from the staffｗ

>546 There’s no GARNET CROW report and suddenly this... An ID ending in P is pretty rare in this thread... So you’re someone involved with the band! Sorry. Our Gane otaku all went home, really sorry. Since the opening act is a band with a certain level of recognition, I’m sure people were looking forward to them too. Here’s an introduction: 【apricot】was formed in March 2006. With “Maki”’s steady high-register voice, they center their sound around piano and sometimes use bass as a lead instrument, pursuing how far they can express “poetry” and “sound,” and creating music that can “project a story” into the listener’s heart.

>393 I thought that too. I was wondering when someone would finally say it.

・Setlist 1. Yume Mita Ato de 2. Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete 3. Stay 4. Mysterious Eyes ・No encore ・During the guitar solo in Stay, she played the keyboard while holding the mic in one hand (so cool...) ・When handing out the postcards, a muscular staff member provided an ironclad guard (though it wasn’t quite that ironclad) ・They handed postcards to around 400–500 people...? ・Both of them looked happy when the other person had a child with them ・Nobody shook hands ・Nobody shook hands ・When they were leaving at the end, the guard was initially loose, so some people got high fives. (・When I asked Mochi during the handoff, “Have you lost weight?” he replied, “Thanks to youｗ,” and Yurippe said, “You’ve really slimmed down, huhｗ”)

I wonder what kind of person Yurippe is dating. In every sense, I think she must be unbearably cute.

Was Yurippe playing the keyboard during Stay improvised? Mochi made a “Huh?!” faceｗ

>551 Maybe she likes dominant, manly guys? Her past boyfriends were like that.

There it is.

>546 Ah, so they didn’t do an encore because another act was waiting behind them.

Can we get an answer to >493...

They should sell a venue-exclusive roll cake with Mochi inside.

>555 So basically, they couldn’t come out for an encore because another act was waiting behind them.

>558 So in other words, there was no encore because another act was waiting behind them.

I’ve seen the Nishinomiya Gardens live more than 20 times so far, and nobody has ever done an encore. Sometimes people perform for 35 minutes, but most finish exactly at 30 minutes. And I’m sure the artists have their own schedules too！（ｷﾘｯ

So basically, the in-store event for the unit with the same name as a Mitsubishi-made PC started at 4, which is why the mic-test guy was talking into the mic?

I wanted to shake Yurippe’s hand(´Д｀) I wonder when they’ll do another one... sigh...

Next time will be in ten years.

>550 Thanks for the report! What was Yurippe like up close??

I hope GARNET is still going in ten years.

It’ll still be going, with around twenty members.

I told Yurippe, “I bought three CDs,” and showed them to her. Yurippe said, “Three? Thank you so much~” Then she told Okamocchi, “He bought three.” Okamocchi went, “Uh~ yeah,” and, as usual, barely reacted, but afterward he said, “Thank you.” I was so happy.

I’m being hit by that empty feeling after going to an eventｗ It’s almost alarmingly badｗ

I want to ask anyone who went to Zepp Nagoya: Was Mochi’s single available at the merch booth? It’s the only GARNET-related CD I don’t have left...

I read “three CDs” as “three Saegusas.”

Would the person being told “the same guy bought three CDs” really be happy about that?

Nope~ I personally like Mochi’s CDs quite a bit, but hmm... they kind of lack star power? By the way, the album jacket says “not for sale”ｗ

I hadn’t bought LOCKS, but I found the limited A edition still being sold normally in Akihabara, so I bought it. This time I bought three CDs total, together with STAY (A and B).

Is it true the new song is titled “Miso Nikomi Udon”?

>574 They didn’t mention that at all in Nishinomiyaｗ

The rumored apricot: http://www.t-apricot.jp/index01.html

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8413528 From 21:30 onward, you can really feel Mochi’s heartfelt feelings toward the membersｗｗｗ

They’re not going to stop activities when they hit their tenth anniversary, are they? I’m really worried.

I watched the PV, and Yurippe is unbelievably cute. The slightly auntie-like expressions she sometimes makes are irresistible.

Mochi doesn’t have a roadie or guitar tech, right? He strings and tunes the guitar himself, right?

When Okamocchi came out in Kawasaki, people were chanting “Yurippe! Okamocchi!” Sounds like everyone in Nishinomiya had fun too, so that’s good.

Has Furui-san never released a CD?

>578 The way they kept making a huge deal out of each anniversary after year seven was kind of scary. What if they actually break up at ten years?

The old guy released something too, didn’t he?

The Doing all right PV is basically all Yurippeｗ They keep shoving her cute face in front of you over and over.

>571 It’s complicated. There’s no way they could be honestly happy about it. I went around three times myself wearing a live-merch T-shirt... Mochi seemed to remember that I was a quiet speaker, so from the second time on he leaned his ear toward me. Just accept the multiple-version sales as company policy, and I hope they’ll accept the feeling behind it: “I really love you.”

If Yurippe gave me a blowjob, I’d probably last thirty seconds at most f^_^;

G-NET News October 1 Fukuoka show tickets have finished shipping. If yours still hasn’t arrived by October 12, please contact the GARNET CROW Official Fan Club immediately.

>587 If Yurippe opened her seductive mouth to give me a blowjob, I wouldn’t be able to hold back at all//

>587 I want her to do it while singing Wish.

Furui-san released a soundtrack solo.

How many people lined up for the postcards in Nishinomiya today?

>589 I saw her up close today, and it wasn’t just some thick, heavy-looking thing—it was a really beautiful shapeｗ “Full” is probably the better wordｗ >583 Today in Nishinomiya they said something like “a 10th-anniversary best-of tour.” When a musical artist starts using the word “best-of,” I can’t help feeling like they’re one step away from quitting.

>593 At the five-year mark, they were selling reasonably well and had settled into a stable place before we knew it, so I could just be happy about it and was genuinely glad. They also seemed to have fewer restrictions from anime tie-ins and were allowed to do what they wanted. Celebrating year seven was only natural. But after that came the whole Meru-zuke thing and the multiple-version sales. Then they started doing various things every year, like Hacchan, and it got complicated. The fact that this album was good is a saving grace.

Why were there handshakes in Kawasaki but none in Nishinomiya? Did literally nobody shake hands? When someone held out their hand, did Yurippe just ignore them? Why were today’s Nishinomiya and yesterday’s Kawasaki so different? People in Kanto got lucky.

>595 At first, even after the staff announced that handshakes were prohibited, some young guys were saying things like, “It was fine in Kawasaki, so whoever does it first wins here too!” But nobody actually shook hands; everyone just had a brief conversation and finished, so the atmosphere wasn’t one where you could really do it. I don’t know what Kawasaki was like, but this venue was small, and if you forced a handshake here, you’d really stand out. This time it had a Pan Factory kind of atmosphere, so it was nice being able to enjoy itｗ When Yurippe forgot the date while announcing the next live, fans reminded her, and during the event she said “So cute~” about a little child. It was a heartwarming scene.

>596 About how many people lined up?

>596 I think the handshake trend started with >193.

>597 I didn’t count, but the CDs they were selling ran out partway through the event, so I guess they sold out. I’d say there were more than 400 people...

>595 It just shows the difference in “civility”ｗ >596 I thought it was pretty big for a free in-store live. You call that small? \n+**[601]** 名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。 ｜ 2009/10/04 22:28 ｜ ID:Dp1m6rej0\n+>>598 I see.

>598 I see. So the first person really is important tooｗ

>567 You’re that guy from Mobage, aren’t you? The annoying guy who emails G-NET every time something happensｗ

Who was it? Who shook hands yesterday with Yurippe juice still on his hands?

Sorry for posting so many times in a short span. >600 True, Nishinomiya wasn’t small, but for an artist who’d just held a free live on the scale of 5,000 people the day before, it was way too small. The only people who really got excited this time were probably the Gane fans who were already in the viewing seats. So I couldn’t help wondering if the members were thinking, “We do tour lives in big halls and free lives with several thousand people, but today it’s only a few hundred?”ｗ

Having a high nose makes someone look good. The shape of it too. You don’t really care if a woman’s nose isn’t as high as a man’s, but it still looks nice.

Was Yurippe wearing the same outfit yesterday as at the Kawasaki show?

I can’t hold back my sexual urges. I feel like I’m about to explode.

>606 Yeah. Like I wrote above, isn’t the thing she wore under the white shirt the same one she wore at the JCB Hall show? (ttp://www.barks.jp/feature/?id=1000053698&p=1)

>604 The viewing seats overflowed, so there was no problem. The “5,000” from the previous day was also the number of flyers handed out; apparently it wasn’t really 5,000 people listening from start to finish.

Who knows whether they can fill the International Forum.

>607 Same for everyone.

>608 I watched the DVD, and it’s not the same one. When did I start acting like some kind of clothing fetishist?

>612 Oh, really? Thanks. That shiny outfit is so moeｗ

>609 I was watching from the front, and nobody got handed a flyer. I don’t think anyone around me got one either.

The person in charge should apprentice under the Hello! Project staff and learn the secrets of their ultra-fast conveyor-belt handshake events.

>615 If they did that, nobody would come to these kinds of free events anymore. People wait for hours in the heat just to listen to the music and talk for a few seconds. Otherwise they’d just casually listen to the music, call it a day, and go home.

http://speedo.ula.cc/test/r.so/yutori7.2ch.net/mnewsplus/1254561640/l10n?guid=ON Help get the entertainment-news thread lively.

If it were ultra-fast, there’d be no point in holding the event itself. Unlike Hello! Project, the handshake event isn’t their lifeline.

GARNET is an artist, not an idol. Promotion and exposure are fine, but their main selling point isn’t their looks. Their main selling point is the music.

About their ages being exposed in the entertainment-news thread.

>617’s link is dangerous. VirusBuster gave me a warning.

But if she’s 32, she must be married by now, right?

Come to think of it, Mochi once expressed “a feeling of landing” with his guitar. It’s hard to convey in writing, but if a normal strum is “jajja,” then a “jaaaan” strum is the feeling of landing. You get it when you hear it, but it’s hard to explain, huh. In Nishinomiya, for some reason, everyone laughed whenever the conversation turned to Mochi... Oh, and he said the songs in the Okamoto corner over the two Osaka days won’t change, but the arrangements will. There’ll be a punk version, but I wonder what the other one will be.

Apparently there was a high percentage of women at the Nishinomiya event. What are the female GARNET fans like? If you can, could someone who went tell me?

Kind of like Iwaki-san.

The “Gahaha!” type?

>625 This may sound rude, but among the younger ones, they seemed kind of like anime otaku. Of course, there were also normal, refined-looking women. There were practically no gyaru at all. Among the older fans, there were genuinely some “big-sister” types—not Yurippe’s exact vibe, but that sort of person—and some who looked like couples or married pairs.

I bought the album yesterday. I read the lyrics, but I haven’t listened to the songs yet. I haven’t had time. The lyrics feel much more ordinary than before.

>628 Thanks for telling me. Were there any high school-aged girls?? The image I have of GARNET’s fanbase makes me think there wouldn’t be many...

>630 There was a high school couple right next to me, and I think there were quite a few of them.

>630 There were high school-aged girls. They seemed to come in little groups or pairs of close friends. There probably weren’t many who stayed alone from beginning to end.

There were plenty of kids in school uniforms at Kawasaki too. They definitely exist.

>631 >632 >633 Thanks, everyone. School uniforms, huh... Were there any in Nishinomiya?

I went to Kawasaki, but there were so few female Gane fans—mostly old guys and otaku. Are lives always like that...?

I saw a couple groups of high school girls repeatedly shouting, “The vocalist is so cute!” But since the Kawasaki venue was where it was, I couldn’t tell whether they were fans or just passersby. I think it’s good publicity.

There are actually quite a few, huh. Got it, thanks!

Which gets you better seats, G-NET or Lawson Ticket? Is the fan club better after all?

>634 There were girls in school uniforms at the first Osaka FC event too. They were with someone who looked like their mother, so hitting on them would’ve been difficult.

The “Everyone’s Plaza” section of Garnet Scope, the FC magazine, is packed with illustrations by middle- and high-school girls.

Come to think of it, while lining up for the handoff event, a woman slammed into me. My head was so full of Yurippe that my brain wasn’t working, and I just elegantly ignored her. It probably seemed rude not to say something like “Are you okay?” But she was probably distracted by GARNET too, so whatever.

Yurippe’s a lucky woman. She’s taking over so many people’s brains.

>637 My ID is GC. Sorry for the pointless diary post.

If they release a best-of next year, I want the first-press edition to be as elaborate as the previous best-of. That would make me want to treasure it much more than the lazy option of just including a DVD of the PV collection. Give us a deluxe box and booklet.

Someone mentioned it earlier, but “Yuri Nakamura (undisclosed)” cracked me upｗｗｗ http://imepita.jp/20091005/053060

>645 What about Mochi?

Yuri Nakamura (not a virgin)

They should just make her age public already. There isn’t even a trace of that “mysterious” aura anymore.

>646 It doesn’t say anything about Mochiｗ

>649 I seeｗ Thanks! Poor Mochiｗ

They’ve known AZUKI Granny was born in ’73 for ages too.

In the space between love, flowers of life bloom side by side. Those huge boobs are Dad’s keepsake; Nana is Furui, and strong against Mochi. It’s you and me, yo—the dream Yurippe cradle.

Were there any elementary-school-aged kids at yesterday’s event?

Has Yurippe ever worn a miniskirt?

>654 She has. Watch the “Are you ready to lock on?!” DVD.

>645 I wrote that. It cracked me up. Parentheses don’t necessarily contain someone’s age, which makes it even more unnatural. Like Tsuyoshi Kusanagi (SMAP member) or Tomoyasu Hotei (guitarist). “(Undisclosed)”—what exactly is undisclosed?ｗｗ

The fan event was the one with a relatively high percentage of women.

There were lots of men and women in their forties and fifties at the fan event. It surprised meｗ Where did they discover Gane?

Hiroto Furui (God Hand)

Then we should call him jisan instead of ossan.

>638 The fan club should be better. By the way, Pia is the worst. They charge weird fees and give you bad seats. e+ and Lawson Ticket feel much fairer. I’m done buying from Pia.

How tall is Yurippe?

She was about 5 cm shorter than me, so probably around 165.

Her cleavage was well covered up.

W-Wow, that’s a 20 cm difference from me(つω｀*)

She was 6 cm taller than me, so probably around 165?

>602 And he’s actually happy that G-NET remembers his nameｗ

You’re all so tall, lucky you. I’m about as short as a dwarf, so Yurippe looks like a giant to me(´｀）

When I saw the album cover, I thought she was taller—like 168 cm? ...In reality, maybe around 160 cm?

With heels on, around 160 sounds right.

Her bust was around 83 cm.

That’s Mochi’s waist measurement.

Yurippe has padded boobs. ttp://10.niceboat.org/10/s/10ko113711.jpg

>662 It was 159, I think. Somewhere between Wikipedia and a radio show, I guess.

Feeling centimental.

What do people here think of the album?!

It’s fantastic from the very first track.

>676 We talked about that in the previous thread too, and most people were raving about it.

People are raving about it, huh~ I thought it was kind of weak, but I’ll give it more listens.

I’m stunned that there’s a hardcore fan attending every stop on the tour.

Yurippe has pretty thick body hair, huh.

>680 That’s seriously impressive. I’m unemployed, so I’m going to Yokohama, Osaka, Sendai, and Tokyo. I’m going to both days in Osaka and Tokyo.

That’s impressive too.

The singing division’s crown goes to Nakamura from Yurihonjo. http://www.sakigake.jp/p/akita/news.jsp?kc=20091005a

Hello Sadness

I just realized that “Hello Sadness” seems to be the title of a work by the French Sagan mentioned in the lyrics... Am I ridiculously late to notice this?

Rainy Soul sounds like Evanescence.

>665 Wanna do it?

>686 It is late, if you put it that way, but who cares.

My membership card and newsletter arrivedーーー!!! As befits a popular group, the membership number is in the 530,000s.

>686 Azuki said exactly that on Gane☆Radio.

I finally picked up the CD today, and STAY is god-tier. I want it to be the theme song for next year’s Detective Conan movie.

>690 The membership grew by 521,000 in three months!? That’s insanely impressive~ヽ(≧ω≦)ﾉ

>690 How many days after you paid did it arrive? Do you get the newsletter immediately after joining?

What kind of membership numbers do the people who show up in this thread have? Mine is in the 2?? range.

Wasn’t the outfit at the event stagewear? Other than the blouse, it was the same as the outfit from “Hana wa Saite~.”

I paid before Silver Week. Nothing from the other FC yet.

>695 Mine’s in the 1? range.

I forced myself not to listen until after going to yesterday’s Nishinomiya event, and finally listened to it a few times. Hello Sadness and STAY are insanely good. They say STAY came to them in a flash and was written right away, which makes it even more impressive.

The CD content is the same across all the editions this time too, right? I bought every version, so is it enough to rip the regular CD plus the bonus CD from the first-press B edition?

>697 I paid on the 4th of last month, and it’s already been a month... I haven’t heard a thing...

I just noticed there’s no joining gift. Was there never one to begin with!?

>698 How many minutes before the doors opened did you start lining up?

*5 15 14 13 11 10→10　Mai Kuraki “ALL MY BEST” -- *4 *5 *8 *9 *9＼11　GARNET CROW “STAY~Yoake no Soul~” Even with the event boost, are they hanging in there? I hope the first-week sales beat the previous album.

I like Hello Sadness, but it doesn’t feel as amazing as everyone says. Personally, I really love Stay, Fall in Life, and Koi no Aima ni.

15 14 13 11 10→10　Mai Kuraki *4 *5 *8 *9 *9＼11　GARNET CROW They swapped places with Mai Kuraki～ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

>705 Exactly! Don’t say the word “meramera” is lame!

Mai-K　Mai-K

Am I the only one who thinks Mochi might play one song as a solo guitar piece at Namba HATCH on the 22nd?

>707 Then “o-senti” is even lamerｗ

The newsletter is so thin, though. ZARD is on another level.

It’s fantastic that there isn’t a single skip track this time. If I had to pick, maybe Doing all right and Fall in Life.

I love GARNET CROW(*^_^*)

Has Yurippe taken a dump yet? Come on, how long are you going to keep us waiting?

>703 4,800 minutes.

The GARNET CROW era is finally here.

>715 That’s insane! They lined up for more than three days and still weren’t first. When did number one start lining up? They must be getting pretty friendly by now, huh?

>717 Weren’t numbers 1–4 the members? I vaguely remember hearing that Furui-san was number one somewhere. Be nice to Furui-san.

>686 When I hear Sagan, I think I only know “Hello Sadness” and “A Disordered Bed,” and then I realized that’s exactly what they were talking about.

>718 I mean people other than the members. It should be Yurippe at number 2, Nana at number 7, and no number for Mochi. Furui-san and Nana seem hard to talk to.

>610 What are you talking about?

>721 The live.

>720 I don’t think Furui-san is hard to talk to. I think he’s the most sensible one. Nana, though... well.

>722 When is that? It’s not in >9. Was it the countdown live?

>724 Wasn’t that hypothetical?

Go buy the album.

I took a dump...orz

Koi no Aima ni is god-tier. On first listen, it might be tied with Call my name.

For those going to the Namba HATCH live, what numbers did you get? I’m in the 4×× range, by the way.

>724 It’s next year’s tour... Were you baiting us?

For those going to Fukuoka: What number did you get? I’m 26×.

Come to think of it, when do tickets for the countdown live go on sale? Can a middle schooler go if accompanied by a guardian?

Organizer: Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting Supported by: GIZA Studio / Being Cooperation: G-NET Planning: GIZA Studio Production: White Dream Inquiries: Kyodo Nishi-Nihon

Can the part Yurippe played one-handed at the Hankyu event be called a synthesizer?

Is there a way to join Jii-Net without my family finding out? It’d be bad if the newsletter arrived. Any countermeasures?

I masturbate in the bathroom right before taking a dump. After taking a dump, I pee too, and that washes the sperm left in my urethra away. That way, I don’t get stains on my underwear.

>735 It’s okay if your family finds out, isn’t it?

>735 Get a post office box.

>737 That won’t work at my house. It’s forbidden. My parents absolutely hate fan clubs.

Just join already!

つ A post office boxｗ

>690 >693 No way~

>739 Live alone.

Apparently you can’t get a post office box unless you have a certain amount of mail. Maybe I have to give up on becoming a member.

>690 I’m the one who posted that, and it’s true.

>687 I thought so too. I’ve been listening to Evanescence ever since Yurippe said she liked them.

Apparently one out of every 241 Japanese people is a Jii-Net member. GARNET CROW’s future is looking bright!

>745 I could believe 53,000, but 530,000? I don’t think even Southern All Stars or Mr. Children have that many. Especially when there are still people asking, “Who are GARNET CROW?”

>745 I only got my membership card a few days ago, and mine is in the 9,000s.

Could you have a friend join for you? It’d be a little inconvenient, though.

Are they in the 9,000s already? I’m going to grab number 10,000.

>751 You can’t even grab the 1,000th post in this thread, and you think you’ll get membership number 10,000? Ha! You crack me up!

Quite a few people at work who watch music shows or Detective Conan know GARNET CROW. I want GARNET CROW to spread even further and do dome tours like B’z.

>735 Just have it forwarded to a friend’s house. But then all your mail will go there.

That’s why I wrote “popular group.” GARNET CROW a popular group!? No wayｗｗｗ That’s why getting tickets is a matter of luck.

>755 It’s not “thread” — it’s “reply,” isn’t it?

>735 Come on, don’t be embarrassed. Even if an embarrassing postcard arrives, stand proud.

>754 Seriously, FC tickets and the like are sent as non-forwardable mail, so they’ll just get returned to the office.

You guys are so kind. Though people in this thread don’t seem to reply much.

I joined this spring, and I’m in the 8,000s.

>760 Eight-thousand-something?

I became a member five years ago, and I’m in the 5,000s.

Are they adding about 1,000 people a year?

>763 Count the people who quit too, dumbass!

Chiyotaikai

>764 My bad ('A`) Don’t get so mad.

As of June this year, member No. 98**

I’m in the 530,000s.

I’m aiming for membership number 10,000—かいいん (←for some reason it won’t convert).

>768 I’m already sick of that one. >769 No, it should convert lol

I paid at the Nagoya venue the other day. Hope it’s number 10,000ｗ

>761 85XX.

The 530,000s is for Arashi.

I’m thinking of joining the FC. Can you join at the venue too? Is there any difference from the usual way of joining?

>774 They’ll knock 1,000 yen off the membership fee. That was last year, but I’m sure it’s the same this year too.

>775 They charged me the full membership fee… It only meant I didn’t have to pay the post office transfer fee.

(^ω^) Sorry for the double post, it’s 777 (^ω^)

>734 It was an organ. The staff switched the tones, so I don’t think it was ad-libbed. By the way, when the two were leaving, that staff member was being called over by Yurippe while she was giving him the finger.

The reviews here seem kind of lukewarm (?), but I really like “Hibi no Hotori.”

Correction: It was “Hibi no Hotori” (^o^;

>779 Feels like most people are saying all the songs were good this time.

Has Yurippe ever worn a thong?

>735 Post office hold. You should ask G-NET whether it’s okay to put the address as “care of XX Post Office” just to be sure. . If that doesn’t work, and you absolutely want to join, you could also use a private mailbox. It costs 2,000 yen or more per month, though. For example: Private mailbox membership-based Suica mailbox service, station mailbox “Ekiado” http://www.eki-ad.com/ “Ekiado,” JR East Retail Net

>775-6 Thanks. If that’s the only difference… I’ll try doing the paperwork sometime this week!

Yurippe’s charms ①A gentle, boyish singing voice ②The playful side she shows once in a while ③Amazing songwriting instincts ④Plump lips ⑤A bashful smile

I’m happy cuz I love GARNET CROW so much, y’know.

>758 Well, of course. It’s basically a cash-equivalent item, after all.

>779 I think it’s a good song, but it feels like it’s hiding in Stay’s shadow. On its own, it’s just a perfectly good song.

You can’t tell what Yurippe is singing without subtitles, can you?

You mean “Space Fried Rice,” right? Gotcha.

Chinese restaurant “Su Paira Ru.”

>778 Thanks, so it was an organ. I love that kind of sound (´∀｀) By the way, I saw the staff member being called over too. She beckoned over the guy who looked like Kondo Masahiko, pointing upward with either her middle or index finger. Yurippe was scary.

>790 That’s Fortune King’s Char.

Scary Yurippe is moe.

For those who bought the MFMagazine reprint, be honest: is it worth buying?

>795 >112

>796 Thanks!! But unfortunately, it looks like the September–December 2009 issues won’t be included… What a shame… And there aren’t any stores near me that carry MFM…

Feeling sentimental because of the typhoon.

>798 Why though lol

The JCB show was after a typhoon too. I’m seriously looking forward to Yokohama!

Doesn’t anyone know Yurippe’s acquaintances, classmates, former students, friends, neighbors, relatives, or anyone like that? I really wanna see her yearbook photos!!!

>728 Super late reply, but I agree. One song that really makes me glad I’m a Gane fan.

>801 Yurippe’s former student? Was she a teacher before?

I have a feeling another fake is about to crawl out of the woodwork!

I wonder what Yurippe said to the staff member… It’s scary that she called him over with a finger instead of waving.

Probably something like, “It’s hot in the sun and the water you prepared is lukewarm! Get it together.” That’s what I’m guessing.

>798 I’m feeling sentimental too (-ω-) The north wind’s getting stronger—here it comes!!

So she’s a hysterical old hag, huh?

>717 Super late serious reply: the first membership number for ordinary people was 26.

S-ppe has fake boobs.

This is way late, but the queue number and seat number are different, right? I’m going alone, so I’m worried orz

So even a group with sales like GARNET’s gets pampered, huh?

>811 If it isn’t assigned seating, you should be able to watch from wherever you like once you’re inside the venue.

>801 How do you post a photo here? Tell me how.

pic imepita

>783 Ask them yourself, dumbass!

The merch details are out. That cap is wildｗｗｗ

http://www.garnetcrow.com/news/livetour2009goods.html?iframe That’s Gane for you! They casually use designs on their merch that are so embarrassing you couldn’t bring yourself to buy them! That’s what sends shivers down my spine (r/y

I bought the T-shirt and wore it home, but even a friend I ran into didn’t realize it was merchｗ I’m planning to wear it normally. Girls could wear it day to day too, I think! It’s sparkly and cute. The cap is expensive, and the design is…ｗｗｗ

There’s no penlight, huh. Let’s bring Kuraki’s.

You can’t tell at a glance with the T-shirt, but the cap…ｗ You’ll see when you look at the real thing—it’s way shinier than I imaginedｗｗｗｗ

>792 It was an organ, but specifically a Hammond organ. You know, that thing old guys use all the time. That way of calling him over left a pretty bad impression, huh. She’s so humble with the fans, but it felt like I got a glimpse of her true self—or her hidden side. If that’s the kind of play she’s into, I’d actually like to experience it.

>802 Jumping on the bandwagon: it makes me cry no matter how many times I listen to it. And the flow from Rainy Soul is great too. I’m really glad I stuck with Gane.

*1　141,949　Ayaka *2　*98,190　Backstreet Boys *3　*66,575　Madonna *4　*31,662　MiChi *5　*26,715　AI *6　*26,434　Superfly *7　*22,802　GARNET CROW *8　*19,508　The Beatles (The Beatles BOX) *9　*19,064　Do As Infinity 10　*19,003　Mariah Carey

Oh man, even GARNET CROW has finally become a bad debtｗｗｗ So the FC has 9,000 members, huh. That’s a far cry from 530,000 FC members.

The event boost kept them from falling out of the top 10.

Everyone knows Do As Infinity one way or another, but their sales are lower than GARNET’s… Who the hell is MiChi…

How do the sales compare with Towa Bare and LOCKS?

I could understand if the songs had gotten worse, but they haven’t. Is the problem Gane fans—or is the economy bad?

The merch has finally been introduced.

Pamphlet Towel MFM is good enough for me.

Yurippe updated her diary. Could someone give me a simple summary of what it says?

>833 It says, “I married Okamocchi.”

>833 Thanks for coming out in such huge numbers to Nagoya, Kawasaki, and Nishinomiya. There’s also a public radio live at FM Hiroshima on the 10th. Of course it won’t be the full lineup—the instrumental team is just Mochi, orz

By the way, the broadcast date for the public recording is the day before the Fukuoka show. She says, “It isn’t live, but please forgive me.”

>833 Okamocchi comes up three times. She says, “I hope you haven’t been feeling unwell or anything. Don’t push yourself; your feelings alone are enough.” And then, “Of course I’ll be with Okamocchi at the next event too.” Something about that “of course” rubs me the wrong way… She sounds really happy to be with Mochi.

Where is the merch introduction posted?

>830 Steadily declining to the right…

>837 Isn’t that better than them having to act together against their will?

Only 22,000ｗ That’s awfulｗ At this rate, the cumulative total will be about 30,000. Maybe it really is over.

They really lost a lot of people with LOCKS, huh…

>837 Before worrying about the fans’ health, I wish she’d worry about her own. Of course AZUKI isn’t participating this time either, orz

Where’s the merch introduction??

>825 >FC members: 530,000 Which group’s fan club is that?

>845 Probably B’z.

Wrong.

I finally listened to the album. It feels like it’s one climax from beginning to end.

This album is seriously good.

39 years old, occupation: secret society… Are Gane otaku all like this?

There are 19-year-old NEETs too.

I mean, getting beaten in the daily rankings by Mai Kuraki in her fifth week…

>845 It’s Arashi.

Final answer?

Hideo Tokoro suffers a crushing defeat.

>848 Nice one, Momotaros.

Sorry, Yuri, but Stay is pretty meh. I just don’t like songs that only belt it out in the chorus.

The new album is getting good reviews. Me… I listened to it for about a week… and it’s kind of meh…

Yurippe’s diary is still at an elementary-school level, as usual. How many times are you gonna say “I’m happy” already— I’ve heard Yurippe say “thank you” and “I’m happy” about 200 times— Use some different words—

That diary under Yuri Nakamura’s name—it isn’t actually written by her, is it?

So many people came to Lazona Kawasaki, and so many people came to Nishinomiya Gardens too. I’m really happy.

With all the other artists’ numbers dropping like rocks, GARNET is doing pretty well! MiChi and Superfly get an absurd amount of media coverage, and everyone else keeps cranking out best-of albums. Do As is below GARNET too, and so is Kiyokiba… Considering the state of the economy, this is a tough time. Oricon #7! They’re doing pretty well, aren’t they?

>862 I believe what you’re saying, but the only thing that matters is the result.

>860 I took it more as there being an atmosphere where the staff can’t point things out or proofread because of Yurippe’s boss-lady attitude.

If there had only been one edition, falling out of the top 10 would’ve been a sure thing. I want them to get a good tie-in next year. GARNET CROW for the Detective Conan movie.

I’ve liked Do As well enough since way back, but I never thought the day would come when Gane beat DAI. Even so, Gane is down compared to their previous album. DAI has really fallen off too.

>864 I think she really did write it herself in the old days. The writing was clumsy, but it didn’t feel unnatural. These days the diary is nothing but promotion, especially since the Staff Diary started—it’s impossible to tell them apart. There was even a time when the first person changed to “boku.” Maybe Azuki’s diary is so sparse not only because she doesn’t seem very diligent, but also because nobody could imitate that unique content and writing style? I think Mochi writes his own diary, though.

>866 I don’t read the other threads, so I don’t know, but without that composer guy it feels like Tomiko Ban going solo.

>Of course I’ll be with Okamocchi. Mochi is unnecessary.

Okamocchi is necessary! He’s way too funny! Seriously, he’s the best!!

They don’t go on TV either. I think sales would go up a little if they did.

Die?

>830 Nice one. That’s quite a drop.

>867 She actually said “boku”? What was the context?

>861 Nice one, AD Hori.

>874 Around September 30, I think. But that sounded like a comment from Mochi.

I’m going to write something a little cringey. Garnet Crow is the only Japanese artist I like. Whenever someone asks me which artists I like and I name them, I’m pretty often told, “Never heard of them,” and it gets me down. I write light novels (novels for middle and high schoolers), but they don’t sell much. Even when I give people the author name and title, nobody has ever once said, “I know it” (ＴｏＴ) As far as I’ve personally seen, I’ve only ever seen one person buy my book at a bookstore. But if I ever manage to write a masterpiece and it gets adapted into an anime or something, I’d beg all the members to let me use my favorite song!! I’m always having fantasies like that. Sorry for the embarrassing fantasy.

I’m a high school student—

>877 You have to give us that supposedly famous author name, or we don’t know how to react. Out with it.

What part of Kyoto is Yurippe from? Was she actually from some rural area?

The fact that it’s such a long post is already gross.

Gane otaku seem to have a lot of people like this.

>877 Go write it in your own diary.

>880 Kawaramachi (near Gion).

>877 Just say it’s a Detective Conan theme song and you’re good.

>885 Oh, really!! More details, please…(￣ー￣) I want you to tell me.

>885 No way. Gion is one big parade of phone clubs. >887 Gion is a place with nothing but scary guys and gals.

>877 How much of that was fantasy? If you really are an author, write the title. Maybe your sales will go up by a few hundred.

>888 You’re way too prejudiced. It isn’t Gion…

Arashi fans eat House curry practically every day, huh. Amazing. What are these 60 entries and 40 entries—how many is that? I only entered once. I can’t compete with Arashi fans’ spending power. Because GARNET CROW’s album sales are sluggish, Yurippe says Gane otaku should buy the tour merch set.

Shut up.

Where are there lots of people with the surname Nakamura〜?

>493 Shijo.

There are a lot of ethnic Koreans in Japan with the surname Nakamura, but surely the vocalist here isn’t one, right?

Masatoshi Nakamura, Masato Nakamura, Shunsuke Nakamura.

Norihiro Nakamura, Michael Nakamura.

>859 Hard as a rock!!

I want to stick my dick in Yurippe’s pussy.

>846 B’z doesn’t have that many fan club members. Mr. Children and Johnny’s have more. Apparently the biggest is Southern All Stars. Their numbers dropped after the hiatus, but they still have more than twice as many as second-place Mr. Children.

I want to stick a vibrator in Yurippe’s pussy.

There’s something way more important than opening up camera seats for the Tokyo show. Haven’t the Fukuoka show tickets already been shipped?

G-NET members: From winter 2002 to when Towa Bare was released in 2006 (going by the posts), there were 6,000 members. From 2007 to now in 2009, there are 9,000 members. They’ll probably reach 10,000 members in next year’s anniversary year. Considering the potential members from before 2002, before G-NET recruitment began, a huge wave joined in winter 2002, so the actual growth has been stable at about 1,000 people a year. CD sales are declining, but the number of new fan club members is steady. Interesting.

>895 If she were Zainichi, would you quit being a fan?

The membership count isn’t a cumulative total, you know. It might actually be going down. Maybe there are a lot of members who don’t buy the albums.

When you think about it, they haven’t really crashed despite being active for nine years. It’s not unusual for artists to fall to less than one-tenth, so they’re on the stable side. Among GIZA artists, GARNET is probably the only one you can call “stable” (lol).

Look at the sales since LOCKS—that’s a crash…

A lot of people really care about sales, huh. Of course selling well is better, but I don’t really care that much.

>905 I don’t know how much the number has fallen, but the fact that 1,000 new members join every year hasn’t changed since the old days. Even if 1,000 join, maybe 2,000 people are leavingｗ

That white blouse Yurippe wore at the Kawasaki and Nishinomiya events— it looks see-through in the photos, but what was it like for the people who saw it in person? Was it pretty see-through?

>906 (I forgot the exact figures, but) looking at the recent sales trends for three original albums each from Koda, Ai Otsuka, and ELT, their sales dropped by over 50% every time they released an album. (Even so, they still sell better than GARNET CROW these days…(・ω・｀；))

>907 Single sales dropped too after LOCKS came out. LOCKS made them lose fans.

Considering how little name recognition they have, GARNET CROW’s retention rate really is impressive, but the reality is that even this stability started showing cracks with LOCKS. They can’t really be compared with Mai Kuraki or ZARD, whose starting numbers were too high to begin with. Among the groups that debut and disappear these days, they’re only relatively secure.

“Becoming transparent〜 water♪” I wonder if she’s done that mysterious dance already.

I’ve stuck with them for ten years, but in the end they never got recognized by the general public. I think their lyrics and music are top-tier even by J-pop standards. The only ones I consider on Gane’s level are Rurutia and Sutoreko, maybe. Well, none of them sell anywayｗ

Maybe the fixed fans who got fed up with the multiple-purchase sales gimmick stopped buying CDs too.

>915 I’ve stuck with them for ten years, and if anything, I feel like they’ve sold pretty well considering that.

I wouldn’t have become a fan if not for LOCKS, but this album goes back to their roots, so I still feel like it doesn’t quite fit. This time, I think the quality is the best since their second album.

>917 Agreed. I never thought they’d last ten years in the first place. Is Rina Aiuchi still active? I feel like I never see her anymore, but compared to that…

That wannabe-idol Aiuchi disappeared ages ago.

GARNET’s song quality is consistently solid. Aiuchi keeps churning out crap songs. As expected, GARNET is a music-production collective.

>775 That might be limited to FC events, you know?

Looking at their single and album sales, I think the general public has recognized them.

Last year, Sakurai said in his conversation with Ijuin, “I think an album’s sales are the fans’ answer to the previous album.” (So, evaluation of LOCKS → STAY’s sales?)

STAY has way too many ballads. Ballads make it easy to mistake something for a “good song,” so you tend to give STAY high marks, but does it really surpass all their previous albums? I’m not saying ballads are bad, but having nothing but those…

Here it comesーーー!! “My Girl,” out November 11.

>924 That’s an interesting thing to say. But maybe it’s right on the money.

>925 No need to compare them. This is a good album. That’s all.

>926 Supercar?

>924 Ehhhーーー? 2002/04/24 **4th　**9 weeks　*73,010　156,410　SPARKLE~Sujigaki Dōri no Sky Blue~ 2003/11/12 **5th　*13 weeks　*45,163　*84,071　Crystallize~Kimi to Iu Hikari~

>876 Late reply, but it said “Secretary Yurippe,” so she probably just wrote it on Mochi’s behalf.

>926 You should call it “Ringo Girl” instead.

“My Girl” is guaranteed to do 450,000 in its first week. The best-of will pass 1.5 million thanks to the year-end boost. The PV collection will sell like crazy too.

“My Girl”? Is it yuri-themed?

>930 Maybe the last two remixes got bad reviews. It was funny when some radio special played only those two and then ended.

“Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete” hit my heart for the first time in ages.

The sales for the singles included on STAY are around 11,000–17,000, right? LOCKS’s lowest was “Sekai wa…” at 19,000—the first time in years they’d fallen below 20,000 cumulatively. When you think about it, not a single one breaking 20,000 is pretty damn bad. Still, I hope they keep plugging awayｗ (´∀｀)

I’m predicting the first single of 2010 will be tied to an au commercial and the Winter Olympics.

I wrote the same thing in the entertainment breaking-news thread, but they probably lasted this long because their cost performance is ridiculously good. Four people can make the songs, and they can all play to some extent, so it must be a good deal for the company. By the way, at the Nishinomiya show, the output from Okamocchi’s guitar to the speaker seemed to be acting up. Are professional music instruments really that unstable? (Well, Yurippe’s beautiful voice carried through, so it wasn’t a problem.)

>931 Yurippe said she was working hard enough for the other three, who do nothing. The old guy was working hard on the live arrangements, and Mochi is cooperative about events, but Nana-sama… wasn’t she training somewhere in Southeast Asiaｗ

I wonder what kind of life Nana-sama leads. She can’t be all that busy, so maybe she’s living the easy life. Nice…

I wonder how much the members’ annual salaries are〜ｗ

>941 A life where she reads Fist of the North Star and travels to the desert.

Nana has money too, huh… I’m jealous…

>942 They’re all different, right? TV dramas, news anchors, and so on.

>929 That songｗ So nostalgic. I liked it.

>942 Mochi… hourly wage Yurippe… daily wage, monthly pay Old guy… monthly salary Nana… annual salary

>885 Smells fishy??

Yurippe wore a top with a low neckline at the Kawasaki and Nishinomiya events. For those who saw it in person, what was it like? Was it really that low?

>924 That was the one on “Bokura no Ongaku,” right? People who stay at the top really are something else.

>949 You can’t see her cleavage. If anything, it looked pretty tightly buttoned up.

>951 That’s not what I’m asking—I mean how much skin was exposed at the neckline. Was it the kind of top that was open almost far enough to see her breasts?

Why do people like this keep crawling out of the woodwork?

>952 You could see most of her collarbones, more or less. That’s the limit of my descriptive ability with my poor vocabulary. Please go home alreadyｗ

>953 He’s been showing up for a while. He’s obsessed with Yurippe’s cleavage. They call him Cleavage-kun.

This thread is moving fast. Just like Gane’s activities.

Yurippe called the staff member over with her fingerｗｗｗ Was that onstage?

Yurippe did the beckoning “come here, come here” gesture in Mai Kuraki’s “feel fine” too.

I watched it on YouTube, but I was on my phone, so I couldn’t tell which one was Yurippe. What kind of outfit is she wearing in “feel fine”?

Yurippe is holding orange juice. There might be two versions of the PV.

That’s the kind of thing someone who used to be a delinquent does—calling people over with a finger.

>919 Aiuchi is the Conan OP now.

The next release: “STEP ~Hirusagari no Rhumba~”

http://m.mixi.jp/show_friend.pl?&id=21981160

Apparently this album has a lot of songs that are kind of meh because they recorded even more around the same time, but held back the ones that seemed single-worthy. They’re saving those for the single planned for early next year and the new songs to be included on the best-of album scheduled for spring.

I prefer the level of the songs on this album to going all-out chasing commercial hits, but I didn’t really want to hear that they were holding songs back.

ON THE WAY sounds like a ZARD song.

My guess for the upcoming release schedule: January: best-of album March: Detective Conan theatrical movie theme song April: Ura GARNET CROW best-of That’s my prediction.

Today I met GARNET CROW in a dream＼(^_^)／ Nana and Furui were playing in a river, and Yurippe was doing a live show in a supermarket. When I tried to talk to Yurippe directly, some backstage old guy made me help fold blankets.

>969 Wasn’t the backstage old guy named Okamoto?

>960 Thanks. I just watched it, and even though I couldn’t really tell, I interpreted her as the well-postured girl in a white shirt carrying orange juice.

Where on the official site is the live merch introduction? I can’t find it…

>818

>972 Click the white-background area on ttp://www.garnetcrow.com/news/live.html and the frame below will appear. ttp://www.garnetcrow.com/news/livetour2009goods.html?iframe

Thanks for the detailed explanation. But I can’t find anything called a white-background area…

I’m so addicted to the Rainy Soul disco remix that I can’t escape. What is this?

Disco? No way. Are you really a Gane fan?

Once you get hooked on a remix, you can’t escape, right? A lot of people hate them, though… I like the disco one too.

Don’t make assumptions like, “A true Gane fan has to be hooked on that song, and everyone must hate that song” (･Α･)

Discoｗ

Is GARNET CROW turning into Perfumeｗ

>977 I’m both a Gane fan and a Perfume fan.

>924 Super late reply. I’m a Mr. Children fan and watched that live, and I get what Sakurai was trying to say, but in the end, sales still seem to be affected by things like hit singles included on the album. Gane’s singles this time didn’t have much buzz, did they? LOCKS had the double A-side and the Conan opening theme, though.

Azuki’s son will be starting elementary school next year too. They’ll even be able to get the child allowance. No time to feel sentimental anymore.

I like the disco remix. It kind of feels like being in a Francfrancｗ

Hey, hurry up and start the next thread, dumbass!

>957 No wayｗ It was as they were leaving, but people in part of the audience had a perfect view.

The Oricon singles chart fell below 3,000 copies at #20 for the first time ever… From #59 onward, sales were under 1,000 copies. ttp://blog.livedoor.jp/ustan777/archives/51587674.html

>991 I was in the very center, and anyone who kept their eyes on Yurippe should have seen it.
