Yuri-chan and Rie-chan are arguing (:_;)(ノ＞＜)ノ Someone please give us a live report on the two of them at the Fukuoka concert.

>>4 It’s annoying to say they’re arguing without permission, phone poster. Go somewhere else.

>>1 Let’s remain unchanged. It’s fine even if it’s an awkward way of loving (乙).

>>4 Rather than arguing, it’s more like Yurippe (Yuri Nakamura, vocals) is angry.

I got post 8!

>>10 Thanks for your hard work. To everyone at posts 959, 978, and 996 in the previous thread: could you tell me whether you were discussing the upper or lower video in >>10, and roughly what time it was?

They were saying they couldn’t tell where the chorus was.

Yurippe appeared at ZARD’s concert this year. Her top was cut quite low around the chest, but she didn’t show any cleavage, right? I think it was the most open neckline she’s worn so far.

1. 証 2. encounter 3. 迎え来る茜色の春に 4. correspondence 5. heart breaker 6. 哀しみのシェオル 7. color 8. Ninja 9. マーブルスカイ 10. 十六夜 11. スパイラルⅡ 12. Have a look for...

I heard a few rumors about them breaking up. The album has only just come out, but next year’s best-of album is already planned. Isn’t that too soon? And the tour plans are already set too, which is also too soon. And the most important point is that all of these arrangements are scheduled before GIZA’s closing. Recently, Takei released a best-of album just before closing and then disappeared.

I forgot to write one more thing. The final venue is usually in Tokyo, but this time it’s their hometown, Osaka.

And then the crows finished their long journey and landed.

What is everyone’s favorite Yurippe “recitation-style” comment? I remember there was an amazing one related to ZARD.

Breaking up because sales have fallen would be so bleak. If they really are going to break up, it should be while they can still sell records… Yurippe → retirement Azuki → lyricist Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) → studio musician The old man → director (production staff)

>>12 >>14 Thanks a lot. I don’t think that level of interaction qualifies as an argument.

If next year’s best-of tour is actually the final tour, shouldn’t they announce it from the start? After all, tickets would probably sell better if they called it a “final tour.”

Being fired and disbanding without anyone noticing—that’s the normal state of Being. They even changed vocalists without anyone noticing, lol.

>>25 GIZA wouldn’t make that kind of announcement.

>>26 It’s not impossible that the vocalist was fired for having an affair. Like a certain Western singer.

>>24 There’s no way they’d broadcast an actual argument, lol.

Why is the last day of the best-of tour on the 27th? Wouldn’t it normally be set for the 28th, followed by the New Year’s countdown? Could there be some kind of FC (fan-club) event?

Could they be adding a drummer as a member?

They’re going to lose fans.

Kurose joins GARNET as a member.

…The breakup talk again. Nana: Don’t break up~ If they’re just being this sulky, it would make sense…

>>31 As long as it isn’t Kurose.

Yesterday Yurippe clearly said, “Next year is the closing of ten years” (閉め). I definitely didn’t mishear her. I could understand “the milestone of ten years” (節目), but… what does it mean? It’s a mystery ← (for some reason I can’t type that character)

You probably misheard her.

Ah, yes, you misheard her.

Maybe it wasn’t 閉め, but 締め.

>>22 Is this Yurippe’s recitation-style comment about ZARD? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xa2IhCHIkBM&rl=yes&hl=ja&gl=JP&warned=True&client=mv-google

I don’t even want to think about GARNET breaking up… I really hope they can continue for 20 years like B’z!! If that happens, the old man will already be a grandpa over 50, though.

If Yurippe goes solo, I’d really like her to try enka.

The keyboardist AZUKI Nana, who is almost too beautiful (AZUKI Nana, lyricist).

Yurippe~

I remember Yurippe appeared at this year’s ZARD memorial concert. I heard that after coming onstage she sang only two songs, left, and then came on again. Did she bow when she left the stage?

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>41 There are plenty of people who remain active on the front lines after turning 50.

There was breakup talk at the five-year anniversary too, and nothing happened, so they won’t break up this time either. After all, it’s their tenth-anniversary year. Rather than breaking up, it should be a year full of happy news. March 29 might even be Hitoshi and Yuri’s marriage announcement, lol. They rehearse together every day, and they might even go home together afterward. There’s no way nothing is going on.

Stop talking about breaking up! What would a GARNET member or a newcomer think if they saw this? Think about that before posting!

I don’t know whether they’ll break up, but it does show that their business situation is that dangerous. GARNET CROW sells the best in GIZA. Everything else is garbage. GARNET CROW should just transfer to ZAIN in Tokyo. I hope GIZA goes under soon.

Anyway, those two really suit each other!! What kind of voice would a child of Yurippe and Mochi have… (￣ー￣) I’m looking forward to it.

I haven’t read it, so I’m not sure, but is “Rainy Soul” connected to No Longer Human?

>>48 If Yurippe and Mochi really had something going on, they’d surely keep it hidden. There are often scenes like this: Yurippe says she and Mochi did something together (rehearsed, went yakiniku, and so on), and then Mochi corrects her by saying the staff were there too. What exactly is Yurippe trying to do? lol

>>20 Last year’s livescope ended in Osaka, where they announced 百年の孤独.

>>51 I heard they have absolutely no contact privately.

>>53 She wants to sleep with Mochi. Though they probably already have.

Please give me a simple summary of what’s in the concert program!!

>>46 Go to the manga board, Nable.

>>48 Mochi is nothing more than a gofer she uses for work. By that logic, there’s no way the two people who traveled privately together, Yuri and Nana, have nothing going on either (ry.

>> “There are often scenes like this: Yurippe says she and Mochi did something together (rehearsed, went yakiniku, and so on), and then Mochi corrects her by saying the staff were there too.” You people are definitely virgins in real life, lol. Surely Yurippe is just acting spoiled toward the boyfriend she truly likes. It’s probably the kind of feeling that says, “I was waiting for you to propose, but you’ve been so cold to me lately.”

Is Hitoshi the one who was released from the Yokohama team?

Sloppy oral sex.

I often hear about people e-mailing the old man, but I’ve never heard of anyone e-mailing Mochi. Could it be because the two of them are already together, so they don’t need to e-mail each other? On Mochi’s radio show before, they said questions were sent by e-mail through the manager. So when did Yurippe and the others exchange e-mail addresses?

>>60 >>60 But isn’t the other person married?

>>63 I heard that when they were in Hokkaido, Mochi also received a text message with a photo of food. Rather, why didn’t she send it to Nana? They’re supposed to be the closest.

Okamoto Mochi’s dick and Yurippe’s pussy, smacking and slapping, rubbing fiercely against each other. Just try to imagine it.

>>53 We don’t even know whether that staff member was really there. It’s suspicious that Mochi is trying so hard to smooth things over, too. Is he saying it to avoid causing misunderstandings, or knowingly insisting that the staff were there even though it’s false? Still, Yurippe seems like the kind of person who says things offhand without thinking. Otherwise, she’s acting spoiled toward Nana.

>>65 Didn’t Mochi go to Hokkaido? By the way, when was this?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm7190736 Yuri: “Hitoshi has become dependable.” DJ: “It feels like the distance between the two of you has gotten smaller.”

>>67 If you think about it normally, of course there would be staff at a studio rehearsal. I heard that for the yakiniku outing, Yurippe pleaded with the manager to make it happen.

Yurippe… please calm down. ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡

>>67 These are two people who were close enough to plan a trip to a deserted island together. Seeing their cold attitude at this concert, I can almost imagine the phrase “acting spoiled.” Hmph, in any case, I had fun hanging out with Mochi and the others.

When you think about it calmly, where exactly is this deserted island? If tourists can freely come and go, then it isn’t really a deserted island, is it?

Mochi is actually married to Miu Kitazora, right? Isn’t that so? lol

>>74 I don’t think they’re married.

The deserted island where Yuri and Nana washed ashore has 30 men and two women…

Arguing is proof that people are close… maybe. Yurippe and Mochi feel like they’re dating. With music as their profession, where else can they meet people except at work?! Yurippe’s outfit at Yokohama BLITZ yesterday looked mature and was very cute~. Could Nana-san be a vegetarian…

Given AZUKI’s personality, I feel like she would say in advance, “I’m not in the mood to talk today, so don’t throw the conversation to me.”

If you think about it normally, I think each of them probably has a different partner. Mochi in particular gives me the impression of having a quiet girlfriend.

Yurippe is actually desperately hiding her murky relationship with Nana. But poor Nana, being ignored by Yurippe as if she doesn’t exist.

>>78 She looked really lonely yesterday.

>>79 Come to think of it, maybe they’re actually married and have simply kept it private. Yurippe used to wear a ring on her left ring finger…

>>72 This time, I feel like Nana was the one at fault… Yurippe has never acted like this before, so she must have encountered something that really made her angry. I think GARNET has lasted ten years because Yurippe is the only person who can handle Nana. Somehow, Nana doesn’t seem like the kind of person who is simply selfish and does whatever she wants…

Everyone argues sometimes. Stop making wild guesses and just quietly watch over them. Time will solve everything.

( ^ω^)ﾉ “This pick won’t fly out. It’s hard to flick it away, you know.”

The meat was cooked; it was just burned.

> “Something that really made her angry” Could it have been tonkotsu soup…

>>87 I’m dying, lol.

I’d kind of like to hear a Yurippe solo with a different arranger and lyricist, and an atmosphere completely unlike GARNET CROW.

Mochi… he wasn’t very dependable at first, but he’s become dependable lately. 　　　　They’re only a year apart, so they get along. 　　　　He’s unusually gentle for this industry and doesn’t look like the cheating type. 　　　　In any case, he graduated from Doshisha University, one of the prestigious Kankandoritsu schools. 　　　　Her old-fashioned parents would probably be pleased too. 　　　　And most importantly, they have fun rehearsing together.

Indeed, whenever Yurippe talks about Mochi, she keeps saying “it’s so much fun, it’s so much fun,” which sounds a little like she’s acting spoiled. I don’t know whether she’s acting spoiled toward her boyfriend, toward Nana-san, or toward someone else. If it’s directed at Nana-san, I wonder whether she’s angry because everyone was busy and he was the only one who did no work, or because Nana-san, who is always saying “Yurippe, Yurippe,” easily left Yurippe out when something fun for herself came up.

>>89 Ah—my eyes are already filling with tears!

>>90 He’s perfect as a foil (ry. Sorry, Mochi, lol.

Yesterday felt incredibly sluggish and disorganized. Are they really going to put something like that on a DVD…?

The argument was over who got the Jagariko potato snack.

Nana probably hurt the inside of her mouth eating Jagariko, which is why she didn’t want to talk.

That sluggish, disorganized feeling is GARNET’s true talent.

If they include it, it should be one of the two Akasaka dates.

By the way, were they filming with cameras? I couldn’t see anything like that at all from the seats on the second floor. So I’m guessing this tour won’t get its own video; instead, they’ll probably release a separate video of the best-of tour.

I think I saw something like a camera on the right side toward the back of the first floor.

>>100 There was one, near the seat where I was sitting at the time. The front camera lost focus last time, causing a fatal mistake, so I really hope they get it right this time…

It’s fine if they don’t make this year’s livescope into a DVD.

If they’re going to include it, the scale should be larger. I’m guessing it’ll be the first Akasaka day.

They removed the cameras on the second Akasaka day and sold additional seats.

I hope they give us more close-up shots.

>>60 You’re really perceptive. >>64 I’ve never heard that rumor. Writing things like that without any basis could constitute defamation, you know.

How far did yesterday’s A (fan-club allotment) numbers go? I was in the A-1000 range, but there were still quite a lot of people behind me waiting to get in.

Ah… what am I going to do with this hat… I bought it on impulse… there’s absolutely no way I can wear it out normally… That cost me 4,000 yen…

That money will become funds for Yuri’s Okamoto (Hitoshi Okamoto) expenses. It definitely wasn’t wasted.

>>107 Even I, in the 1200 range, thought I was pretty far back, but there were still lots of people behind me. It was easily close enough to see from there… though assigned seating really is better…

Just consider it a wedding gift for Yuri-chan and Okamoto’s future child, lol.

Mochi already has a wife named Miu Kitazora.

Apparently they argued in the dressing room after the show. (#＾ω^) “What the hell do you want!! Hey! How dare you ignore me! What the hell do you want… Tell me clearly! Hey!” 　　　　　 “Why didn’t you throw the conversation to me? Why, hey!” (｀･ω･) “Why do you keep saying ‘hey’? You damn woman!” (#＾ω^) “Why do you keep saying ‘hey’? You idiot!” (｀･ω･) “What is it, hey!” (#＾ω^) “I told you not to ignore me, hey!” (｀･ω･) “It’s because you don’t do any work! You damn woman!” (#＾ω^) “I’m busy, hey!” (｀･ω･) “Hey…” (#＾ω^) “What?” (｀･ω･) “Get out of here! Hey! GARNET doesn’t need someone like you, you damn woman!” (#＾ω^) “You said it, hey.” (｀･ω･) “Yeah, I said it.” (#＾ω^) “Don’t take back what you said! You!” (｀･ω･) “Same to you, hey. Hurry up and leave, you damn woman!” (#＾ω^) “Fine, I understand… Don’t take back what you just said, you hear me? Since you said it, you understand?” 　　　　　 “It’s real, you know. It’s real, you know. Hey, it’s fine if I’m not here anymore, right? Hey, hey?” 　　　　　 “It’s too late to regret it now, you know. Do you understand? Do you understand?” (｀･ω･) “You don’t need to tell me to understand, hey!” (#＾ω^) “Are you really going to quit, hey?” (｀･ω･) “Ma’am, hurry up and get out! You damn woman!” Nana (AZUKI Nana, lyricist) gets into the car. (;￣_￣) “Ms. AZUKI, are you really going to quit?” (#＾ω^) “It won’t be long (until I quit).”

About Yuri and Mochi: from Yuri’s point of view, it might not be impossible. But from Mochi’s point of view, it feels like Yuri isn’t an option at all.

>>113 But Yuri and Nana still went home in the same taxi, right? lol

>>114 Rather than impossible, it’s more like there’s no chance, lol. Given their positions.

Yuri and the old man… mumble mumble.

Actually, Yuri and Nana are in a lesbian relationship. This is all an act to keep people from noticing.

Why not just have a friendly foursome? Guest performer Cowboy Kurose can be the sex worker for release.

>>118 If that were the case, they’d hide the fact that they traveled together too, lol.

It feels like Yuri and Nana’s closeness has been declining as Yuri entered her thirties.

Yesterday, Yuri kept talking with Mochi and the old man while standing with her back to Nana-sama. Is this bullying? It was heartbreaking to watch Nana-sama standing rigidly for no apparent reason.

The old man also chatted happily with Yuri without realizing what was going on ← he can’t read the mood. Mochi chatted with the three of them while occasionally glancing at Nana-sama and sometimes throwing the conversation to her ← he can read the mood.

>>121 Yuri inviting Nana-sama to a deserted island? That was last year, wasn’t it?

I heard the two of them looked quite close at the recent fan-club event.

You’re still talking about this? lol She turned the microphone 180 degrees away, so I thought she simply wasn’t in the mood to talk at all. When someone threw the conversation to her, the microphone made a “whirr” as she turned it, which got a laugh too.

On the day of a show, every passerby around the venue looks like a GARNET fan. Let’s give this phenomenon a name, lol.

>>126 I always thought that microphone was for picking up the keyboard sound. By the way, doesn’t GARNET have too much MC? It’s boring anyway, so just saying hello at the opening and encore would be enough. That way Nana-sama’s mood could stay peaceful too.

There’s no problem with making guesses and worrying over nothing. More importantly, it would be better to stop asking Nana-san to sing. She really looks troubled by it. I think it must be painful for her to refuse in front of the fans.

Nana, be at peace.

Whenever Yuri talks, Nana usually has a drink in her hand. No wonder Kurose drums with an expression like he’s about to ejaculate.

GARNET fans have the same mindset as idol fans. They think “singing > accompaniment,” so whenever something happens they shout for Nana-sama to sing, and when discussing the show, they pay more attention to the MC than the performance. Even if yesterday’s show was poorly received, this is too abnormal.

>>132 Was it bad? (｀・ω・´) The performance, I mean.

Nana-san should play the flute. Then Yuri-chan can play the recorder.

You’re only saying now that GARNET fans are fundamentally idol fans?

Isn’t GARNET an idol group?

>>133 Hint: drums.

Miss Azuki on the regular-edition cover looks a little scary. Why don’t you just become my wife? Your son is welcome too.

My little guy won’t go soft because of Nana-sama.

>>137 Ah… Mr. Kurose really is the same as ever…

I want Nana-sama to jerk me off so badly.

>>132 GARNET is completely unremarkable as a live act.

Give us some! Love, that is!!

No, however you look at it, Mochi and Yuri are already together, right? That level of intimacy is different. Wasn’t Yuri saying that what she was practicing was guitar? Could she be planning to make her debut during the Hitoshi & Yuri segment or something? Rather than Yuri and Nana arguing, could Nana simply have been in poor condition? Conversely, maybe Yuri was taking care of her. It didn’t seem that serious.

Mochi, who had been treated as a joke since the early days, has finally seen the light… His guitar solo also got a longer slot, which feels good.

>>146 If anything, he seems the most pitiful now, lol. It feels like Yuri is using him.

I want to ride a bicycle with Miss Azuki. Then do some naughty things in a meadow.

I feel like Nana-sama was much more popular than Yuri in the early days. I wonder what it was like then. It’s interesting how the relationship among the four is clearly reflected in the music.

>>149 I can’t think of a single song that reflects the relationship among the four. You don’t mean the lyrics, do you?

>>147 Mochi is the only member who can put up with Yuri’s selfishness. If Mochi weren’t there, GARNET probably would have broken up long ago—

>>151 As long as the old man is still there, it’ll be fine. If it were just Yuri and Nana, it would feel pretty dangerous… Even if they get along, their personalities and the directions they want to pursue feel fundamentally different. Mochi accommodates Yuri’s activities, while with the old man around, Nana doesn’t look out of place either.

>>150 Hmm—not so much the songs themselves as a change in their style. In the older songs, you could hear Nana’s feelings being conveyed through Yuri’s voice, but recently they feel like songs centered on Yuri. Nana-sama’s colors seem to have moved far into the background~. It feels like they’re gradually becoming a band rather than functioning as a unit.

You can divide the albums’ styles into 1, 2; 3, 4, 5; 6, 7 like that.

It’s important that the old man has seniority and is older.

If GARNET were reduced to just two people… (´･ω･) “Miss Nana will be doing activities too, right?” ( ^ω^) “Sorry, I’m making tonkotsu soup that day.” (#´･ω･) “That’s work, isn’t it?” ( ^ω^) “My job is writing lyrics.” (#´･ω･) “I’m doing that too.” ( ^ω^) “There’s nothing for you to do.” (#´･ω･) “Because if you don’t do it, sales will…” ( ^ω^) “Don’t worry about it.” (#´･ω･) “I can’t believe this… grumble.” ( ^ω^) “What are you getting angry about?” (#´･ω･) “That’s it! I can’t do this anymore!” I feel like it would turn out like this.

>>152 When all is said and done, everything works as long as the old man is there. While Mochi and Yuri eat tacos and show off their affection, the old man is working, working, working. He even sends yakiniku e-mails while he’s working, lol. Even GARNET☆RADIO has become Nana’s spokesperson, lol. We really have the old man to thank, lol.

>>157 > While Mochi and Yuri eat tacos and show off their affection More precisely, it was when Yuri had Mochi and the manager stand side by side, lol.

If Nana-sama’s role is basically just writing lyrics, that would be pretty serious. She still looks beautiful playing the keyboard as always, but lately I can’t feel the understanding between her and Yuri, which is a little sad. I think Nana-sama can make the music and lyrics sound much more appealing simply through her manner, so I hope she can take the stage in a good mood.

>>152 The old man is quietly dependable, isn’t he~ The fact that they’re made up of reserved people who don’t really like being in the spotlight has created a unique power dynamic~. They can make unreasonable demands precisely because they’re teammates. Yuri is lucky. Ms. AZUKI has become GARNET’s version of ZARD…

>>154 After listening to the latest work, hearing “世界は―” from the sixth album hit me unexpectedly hard. When it was released, I wondered why they were saying something so pessimistic at this point.

The old man’s era is finally about to begin!

Has Kurose become more emotional and started drumming more dramatically because he’s been criticized so much?

It’s impressive how you can argue this much based only on guesses about dating and breaking up. Anyway, let’s look forward to this year’s tour, the New Year’s performance, and the best-of tour.

This only shows that they have a lot of activity planned for the next six months. Announcing the next tour before the current performance tour is over is strange no matter how you look at it. If it only means they’ll pause activities starting next April, that might actually be good.

I feel a little sad.

I remember Yuri appeared at this year’s ZARD memorial performance. I heard she sang only two songs after coming onstage, then left and came on again. Did she bow when she left the stage?

I’m feeling “oka-mochi.”

At this point Mochi is somehow holding the key to GARNET… Hang in there, Mochi, and don’t break up, okay?

You’re imagining all this about the love lives of people you barely know. Honestly, it’s disgusting. If you care that much, why not promote them to the people around you and make GARNET CROW a mainstream band? Then, like GLAY or PUFFY, the weekly magazines would investigate everything in detail for you, lol.

>>170 Have ZARD or Kuraki ever had dating-related reports published in the weekly magazines? Is this your first time dealing with Being? Relax.

>>165 Is Yuri getting married in April and taking a honeymoon leave or something?

The most likely possibility is AZUKI Nana leaving, right? She could continue supplying lyrics.

It really is possible that Nana-sama will quit. How frightening.

Could Nana-sama have a child…?

Was that photo-book-like thing released for the fifth anniversary any good? What kind of photos of Yuri-chan were in it?

>>174-175 Indeed, being treated like an idol may already be making her miserable.

It feels like things could go in the direction of a hiatus, Yuri moving to Tokyo for solo activities, and GIZA effectively breaking up. It’s already unnatural for members of the same group to live separately in Tokyo and Osaka. Yuri takes over ZARD’s role.

>>176 She does have “Nanatsu no Ko.” After all, they’re GARNET CROW.

>>177 That’s one to preserve forever.

>>179 GIZA breaking up is, realistically, possible. B’z and ZARD (although they’re no longer with us) were originally with different agencies. Kuraki moved to Northern. Ueki moved to Avex. Maybe they haven’t decided what to do with GARNET CROW yet. With four members, it’s certainly harder to make a decision.

>>176 The possibility of her having a child is the lowest, lol. She travels alone like that and stays home all the time. I feel like she’s really grown tired of GARNET… She has said things like everything runs in seven-year cycles and seven years is the limit of her activities, orz. Yuri’s attitude may also be an expression of her complicated feelings toward Nana.

I don’t remember clearly, but didn’t Miss Nana say at a Tokyo fan-club event that she always wanted to do GARNET and was looking forward to performing? Am I remembering wrong? Maybe because they’re nearing their tenth anniversary, everyone said some rather serious things. GIZA effectively breaking up doesn’t feel like a far-fetched idea either. Could they be arguing over whether to move to Tokyo?

Could something have changed between the fan-club event and this tour…? It happens to be when the company’s first-half results are being released… It’s possible that people who want to think positively and people who don’t got into an argument.

GIZA couldn’t make any real profits in the first place, could it? GARNET is the best seller in GIZA, but even STAY sold less than 23,000 copies in its first week…

I sensed that the atmosphere between Yuri and Nana was strange in Yokohama. Could Nana have said she wanted to quit because of activities, various hassles, and so on, making Yuri angry? ＞ Nana

I really wish they could move to a label outside Being. There might still be somewhere willing to take them. GARNET basically plays, sings, and handles everything themselves anyway.

>>188 Even if somewhere were willing to take them, they’d probably only take Yuri, right? The way they promote them would definitely change too, and Nana would probably disappear of her own accord.

>>189 I think they have commercial value precisely because they’re GARNET CROW. The group name matters too. After all, GARNET’s popularity isn’t supported by Yuri alone. Regarding Nana-sama, that theory feels very possible. How frightening, orz.

>>190 I don’t think another label would want GARNET CROW as a whole. At most, Yuri might be taken on for her singing and composing abilities, and the old man for his arranging.

Songwriters who can’t write lyrics don’t sell.

I think Yuri and the old man would be fine. Mochi probably wouldn’t work outside the Being system. As for Nana-sama… she’s just too difficult to use.

>>191 If that were the case, I think it would be even less likely that anyone would want Yuri alone.

If Nana were to transfer, I imagine she’d quit outright, and she also looks like she wants to escape GIZA anyway.

I didn’t notice until I heard it on the radio, but “夏の幻” really has a lot of key changes. The keys of the first and later choruses are different.

The only one who could probably be taken on based on ability is the old man. Yuri is the kind of person who only works because GARNET CROW exists; if she worked behind the scenes, her personality would be too strong. If put in front of the audience, she also seems difficult to control. For Miss Nana and Mochi, if they were motivated, they could probably continue doing small behind-the-scenes work using Being’s connections.

Yuri and Nana shouldn’t break up this group no matter what happens. If they still want to remain musicians.

>>193 If she worked entirely behind the scenes, Nana-sama should still be useful. After all, she’d only have to deliver lyrics. As for GARNET CROW itself, they could move to somewhere like Northern, where Kuraki is, and I think they’d have plenty of ways forward. But if, in the course of GIZA breaking up, they were asked what they planned to do next, it wouldn’t be strange if Nana were considering retirement.

>>191 It’s not that simple. It isn’t limited to Being: the reason there are so many labels is connected to copyrights. It’s so rights can be sold off in pieces while something is selling well. Conversely, if something isn’t selling, would anywhere want it?

I just hope Nana-sama (AZUKI Nana, lyricist) hasn’t lost her motivation to write lyrics. The keyboard doesn’t matter (though maybe it does); once your spirit for writing lyrics breaks, it seems impossible.

I just hope Nana-sama hasn’t lost her motivation to write lyrics… The keyboard doesn’t matter (though maybe it does); once your spirit for writing lyrics breaks, it probably won’t work.

I thought it hadn’t posted, but it did. Sorry for the consecutive posts.

If GIZA went under, everyone except the old man (a joking nickname for either Hitoshi Okamoto or Hirohito Furui, the older member) might be in danger. Even if Yuri moved behind the scenes, the GANEOTA (GARNET CROW fans’ self-designation) would probably support her for a while. Nana doesn’t seem that attached to the music business, so she probably wouldn’t rush.

I went to Yokohama BLITZ the day before yesterday, but personally I didn’t feel particularly concerned… For now, let’s see how the next Fukuoka concert goes—. (By the way, what was the atmosphere like at the Nagoya show before that?)

>>205 I was so concerned that I kept staring at Nana-sama. Because I was worried.

>>205 The staff are probably watching this too, so they’ll probably pay attention at the Fukuoka show.

If STAY doesn’t reach 30,000 in its first week, will they break up or transfer?

I absolutely can’t imagine GARNET CROW breaking up!! And if the members all went their separate ways, it wouldn’t be GARNET CROW anymore!! If the staff are reading this, I really hope they don’t consider breaking up!! If we’re just overthinking it, then I’m truly sorry…

Nana said in Nagoya, “Let’s go to the Kawasaki event, lol,” but in the end she didn’t come.

>>209 If they break up, I’d guess the reason will be Nana-sama.

>>206 I was on the old man’s side, so I probably didn’t see Nana-san very much… (By the way, after entering, the left side—the old man’s side—felt relatively empty.)

Did something happen after the Nagoya concert…!? What about the people who went to Lazona? Especially those who received postcards directly!! Was Yurippe less energetic than usual…? Did anything seem unusual?

>>208 I don’t think so. If they stopped activities at those sales numbers, then since the time Kuraki transferred, GIZA would have no singers left who could be active. The members were each behind-the-scenes staff on their own, so there are ways forward, but if even one member is absent, GARNET CROW is over.

The mischievous and adorable Yurippe, the naturally airheaded Nana-sama, the noble prince Okamocchi (Hitoshi Okamoto), and the god-handed Mr. Furui (Hirohito Furui). It takes these people to make the group called GARNET CROW (つω;). If even one person leaves, there’s no one in this world who could fill that gap…

Why not take a year or two as a period to recharge? Maybe things aren’t that simple.

Nana said she’d go to Kawasaki and then stood them up. Could that be why Yurippe is angry?

There haven’t even been critical comments directed at the members… You’re no different from Johnny’s fans, though I don’t really know much about that.

I think it would be a sign of the end if they still forced themselves to act close at Fukuoka.

“Oh, I’m planning to quit GARNET CROW and become a monk. In the mountains, with the sea still at the foot of the mountain…”

My first GANE concert is four days away. I’m getting nervous.

If Nana (Nana-sama, AZUKI Nana) quits, the number of fans will definitely plummet—aaaaah!! GIZA knows that, right!

Seriously, who is everyone’s favorite member?

>>223 Nana-san. I like her lyrics, and I also like how her behavior is shrouded in mystery, lol.

If Being plans to tamper with GARNET… With only Yurippe, their marketing approach would be difficult. Yurippe + Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) appear on television frequently and create a second ELT… Then the two of them move to Tokyo and begin activities next autumn. Mr. Furui is freed from GARNET’s restraints and can focus on production and arranging work in Tokyo. And Nana would…

>>221 Same here (･∀･)人(･∀･). But I caught a cold, so it’s touch-and-go whether I can go… I have to get better!

I’m on Team Yurippe. Yurippe’s cuteness and singing voice are both god-tier (*´∀`*). When she spoke in Nishinomiya, I couldn’t even look directly at her face.

No matter what, we’ll probably only be able to see them in their current form until next year’s anniversary concert. Otherwise, there’s no explanation for these strange things: holding a fan-club event before the tour and announcing the next tour before the current tour begins. Something is clearly wrong.

I just want to say one thing. Nana-san won’t stop because of depression. Because for her… Oh, the doorbell rang.

Ahhh— I’m so preoccupied with GARNET that I can’t study at all!

But, but… Yurippe said on the radio that she wanted to hold a concert on the stage of a fireworks festival, and even at Byodo-in’s Phoenix Hall (ﾋﾞｮｳﾄﾞｳｲﾝﾎｳｵｳﾄﾞｳ). She really said that!! With GANE reaching its tenth anniversary, their range of activities will expand even further!! Breaking up!! Absolutely not…!!

If Nana-san says she wants to quit, let her go ring a gong.

If Nana quits, she’ll become a cosplayer again. I hate that.

Everything would be solved if Yurippe and Nana went to a deserted island together.

Vocals: Yurippe Gong: Nana-san Violin: Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) Bass & keyboards: the old man

>>232 No, it would be better to give AZUKI the reason of making wave sounds.

>>230 Studying is pointless anyway, so think about GANE instead.

What did it feel like when a group under Being broke up in the past? The marketing, tours, and so on. If it’s similar to that, maybe it really is possible. By the way, even though this is their seventh album, there hasn’t been much Nana-related hype, has there?

>>238 It ranked seventh in its first week, lol.

Didn’t Mai Kuraki also decide on a Budokan Halloween concert, a countdown concert, and so on in the middle of a tour? Isn’t GANE in the same situation? And it’s GANE’s tenth anniversary. Let’s hold lots of special activities!! GANE will make a big splash in 2010, then return to its usual slow-paced space from 2011 onward, right? GANE debuted on March 29 (that’s the date, right?), so they’re holding concerts consecutively… Anyway, let’s all get excited about GANE’s tenth anniversary!!!

Anyway (とりま), lol.

Ever since I bought STAY, I’ve been listening only to this. It’s not that there’s anything particularly special about it, but before I know it I can’t listen to anything else. I usually listen to metal, actually…

I was thinking, the tour brochure is a little suggestive too.

As long as this thread keeps getting posts, that’s all that matters.

What is this? Are there no calm fans here? Why are you talking as though GIZA breaking up or the group disbanding has already been decided? As for the argument, if it’s secondhand information, you have to listen with a grain of salt just to keep your sanity. Speculation based on facts is fine, but the fantasies have gone too far.

About how many people can sit in each row at this concert?

Nana-sama was probably late for soundcheck, and then didn’t attend the pre-meeting for the MC. Once, when she was asked about Yokohama, she said something like, “Yokohama… Yokohama… isn’t anyone going to prepare a topic for me? lol.”

>>245 Speculating is fun, right? Yurippe herself never stops fantasizing either.

Don’t get so worked up over this nonsense during the daytime on a workday. Go to work…

>>249 From your tone, you sound like a student or a housewife.

>>247 It was probably like that.

Instead of spending your free time writing this nonsense, why don’t you offer your love to Yurippe, you people?

You people have a lot of free time in the middle of the day. Go to work!!

GANEOTA’s power of imagination is deeper than Yurippe’s cleavage.

STAY ～夜明けのSoul～ *7 *1 *22,802 *22,802 36 *2 **3,885 *26,687 I hope it can at least reach 30,000, but it feels a little difficult.

I can’t concentrate on work today because I’m worried about GANE. By the way, I found an interview with Yurippe and Nana-san around the release of the second album on an overseas video site. Yurippe kept sneaking glances at Nana-san while talking, which was incredibly heartwarming, lol. They also had more chances to appear on television back then. The Yuri-Nana broadcasts were wonderful…

Maybe it’s all part of Yurippe’s calculation.

I really wish JGM would release a compilation too. And make Garnet Time into a DVD or something.

>>257 Trick the fans and the thread builds itself~♪

Something caught my attention at the Yokohama show. Hasn’t Yurippe always worn a ring on her right ring finger?

“Jump, jump, jump~♪” When Yurippe started jumping while singing that, she was so cute I thought I was going to die. I really wish I could have watched from the first floor.

(´･ω･) “I had a fight with Nana-san in Yokohama~. We’re planning to make up in Osaka♪” >>260 (´･ω･) “At Yokohama she was wearing rings on the middle fingers of both hands.”

>>262 No, it should have been the left middle finger and the right ring finger.

>>263 Now that you mention it, I think that’s right. Could they have been given to her by the boyfriend she went bowling with?

“Jump, jump, jump~♪” When Yurippe started jumping while saying that, she was so cute I thought I was going to die. I really wish I could have watched from the first floor…

>>261 Why did I write the same thing twice… I guess staying up for 40 hours makes your brain bug out. Good night.

“Jump, jump, jump~♪” When Yurippe started jumping while singing that, she was so cute I thought I was going to die. I really wish I could have watched from the first floor.

“Jump, jump, jump~♪” When Yurippe started jumping while singing that, she was so cute I thought I was going to die. I really wish I could have watched from the first floor.

You bald idiot, shut up.

>>266 Why were you up so late? lol

No matter how anxious you get here, nothing will change. If you can’t spread the word even by proselytizing, then just quietly buy CDs. Why not send GIZA a joint letter, lol? “Please don’t let GARNET CROW break up!” GANEOTA are beyond saving, lol.

Anxious? Aren’t we actually enjoying the process? lol

>>271 That would actually be a pretty good way to take action. It’s because of things like this that people grow stale (mocking them) and say GANEOTA act all high and mighty.

The scumbags who wait outside after concerts should go die.

I’m really looking forward to the Osaka concert (*´∀`*). I heard that on the 22nd we’ll get to see a version of GARNET CROW that we’ll never see again. What exactly are they planning? (lol)

All four of them will dance.

They spend every night together until late. When they take little trips out of town, they eat dinner and breakfast together too. It’s no wonder romantic feelings develop. After all, they’re spending much more concentrated time together than before.

>>275 They’ll perform with Kyūton.

>>255 They used to reach 100,000 without even trying.

It wasn’t without even trying.

>>277 Even further than “the two of them privately staying somewhere alone for a few nights”? Oh right, Nana-sama is a woman, lol.

>>277 Bands apparently often act separately, actually.

>>282 It was an in-store event.

Okamocchi (Hitoshi Okamoto) changed guitars starting with the fan-club event, right? What brand of guitar is it?

It’s about Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) and Yurippe, right? But my impression is that those two had been aware of each other much earlier. Maybe one of them unexpectedly confessed and they started dating, which made Yurippe a little giddy. It reminds me of how my older sister used to be…

Which GARNET fan site is the most active right now?

Mori.

http://trunumber.ninja-web.net/stay7th/ I found it recently by following links. The Flash work is pretty nice. The design doesn’t lose to the official site either.

Honestly, Flash stuff is just annoying… By the way, using images without permission isn’t good, is it…

>>285 When a woman is beautiful, she has all kinds of trouble too… I’ve had my share of hardships as well (´･ω･｀).

>>290 Does “GARNET has hardships” mean what I think it means? lol.

>>290 “…”

>>290 Want to do it? (やらないか)

Jealous of >>290’s beauty.

For the first Akasaka day, what number would the queue ticket be around if I bought a ticket now?

Reported for using images without permission.

I haven’t read the earlier posts. What happened to Nana-san?

>>290 I’m another one who has suffered.

I’ll probably be a virgin for the rest of my life.

I only acknowledge strawberries.

I remember that Yurippe (Yuri Nakamura, vocals) appeared at this year’s ZARD memorial live. I heard she sang only two songs after coming onstage, then left and came on again. Did she bow when she left?

>>301 She did bow, but nobody was looking at her cleavage. Everyone was there to hear ZARD’s songs, so nobody paid attention to that kind of thing. That’s all.

I went to my first live on the 12th, and Nana (AZUKI Nana, lyricist) really did seem a little out of place. I thought they would pass the conversation to each member in turn, but they skipped her completely. Thinking about it now, it was probably scripted. They must have agreed in advance to skip her, so I don’t think they were fighting.

But this time the merchandise was all stuff nobody needs.

Yuri: “Let’s all wear the sparkly hats and match as a pair.” It’s nice to be invited like that, but I can’t quite do it (lol).

It’s a shame I can’t wear it outside normally.

>>306 As long as you throw away your sense of shame, there’s nothing you can’t wear! Come on, put on the hat and go out!

Walk around while singing songs like Hallelujah, and your sense of shame will fly away immediately.

Walking outside while listening to Hallelujah will put you in a good mood (^ω^).

>>290 A little chubby—thanks for your hard work.

Is ID:aKpLPc5VO a man? A woman? Or a transvestite?

If Takashi Matsuo saw Nana as she is now, would he recognize her as the Sugaya of those days?

>>277 That’s generally how it is. And it’s Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto), who is especially prone to misunderstandings, lol. In that situation, any man would misunderstand. Once on Music Focus, Yurippe wore something like a black cardigan. It was so obvious that I nearly died laughing (lol).

>>270 I heard I might not live long, so I’m trying to stay awake as much as possible (lol). I do my best to stay awake while working.

>>314 Not getting enough sleep is actually bad for your health. Hang in there! (ノД`)

You must be too excited to sleep because you get to see Yurippe. I understand.

Yurippe’s makeup and clothes have become more glamorous lately. She’s probably styling herself according to Okamocchi’s preferences.

By the way, entry was delayed at the Yokohama show. The staff announced, “Due to readjustments, entry and the opening will be delayed.” Could Nana-sama simply have been very late? Meanwhile, Yurippe was busy with promotional activities and so on… And the show began in that uneasy atmosphere…

Enough with the fantasies, lol. You’re making up too much nonsense. There’s no way we can know what really happened anyway. Just keep it in your imagination…

If I have a number in the 400 range, around what time should I get to the venue?

Does the person who keeps writing “cleavage, cleavage” have some meaning in leaving a space before “sage”?

Speaking of the ZARD memorial live, in 2007 Yurippe came onstage and stayed there until before the encore without leaving. In 2009, did she also stay onstage from her entrance until before the encore?

>>318 |；´・ω･｀|ゞ “Sorry, everyone. Since I’d come all the way to Yokohama, I wanted to have the full Chinatown feast.”

>>320 Arriving at the same time as the doors open should be fine. You might have to wait a little.

The people writing all these fantasies are actually the more optimistic ones.

We talk about it because we care and because we’re anxious. It won’t die out because it’s something everyone wants to discuss. It’s not really a topic that needs to be handled cautiously just because they might not get along. We don’t know the truth anyway, and talking won’t accomplish anything, so saying “don’t talk about it” feels a little tone-deaf. If they were at B’z’s level, it might constitute spreading rumors… If you don’t like it, don’t read it, or talk about something else. And while we’re feeling anxious like this, AZUKI Nana may well be thinking, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I could produce my own oxygen too~?”

>>325 That’s me. Maybe Nana-sama was simply late and Yurippe was upset about it. Rehearsal was delayed, so Nana-sama couldn’t rehearse the MC section. It includes a little wishful thinking, but it seems plausible, right? If they were really on bad terms, they would at least pretend to throw the conversation to her. So it probably isn’t discord. She’ll properly throw the conversation to her at the Fukuoka show… unless she was late because she stopped for tonkotsu ramen?

Would people jokingly ask her something like, “Ms. AZUKI, you’re particular about tonkotsu, aren’t you?”

>>328 I’d bet 10,000 Belika that Yurippe will throw exactly that topic into the MC. She might even add, “You chose tonkotsu over me.”

Miss Azuki once wanted to become an actress. You people are going way too far with your own imagined versions of her.

Rename her TONKOTSU Nana.

http://dailynews.yahoo.co.jp/fc/entertainment/classical_music/?1255573151 Will this affect GARNET CROW?

>>332 It probably won’t have any particular effect. B-ING also built the Dojima River Forum. The tenth-anniversary event should be at Grand Cube, right?

Everyone going to the Fukuoka show, start practicing “Doing All Right” now.

>>325 Exactly. No matter what happens, GARNET’s music won’t disappear!

Still, I was thinking that things like keychains could be made a little cooler. Are they economizing on merchandise development costs too?

>>322 In 2009, she sang “止まっていた時計が,” then bowed deeply before leaving. It’s impossible that entry at the Yokohama show was delayed at that time because of equipment adjustments. Rehearsal probably ran long, or someone was late and delayed rehearsal. Was it Nana-san? The microphone was also angled 180 degrees away during the MC. Maybe she had said in advance, “I’m not in a good mood today, so don’t throw the conversation to me.” Even if so, it was probably only that Nana-san and Yurippe started the actual show in an awkward atmosphere because of that late arrival. I think people are overthinking it. The fat old man in a staff T-shirt behind the stage curtain was also dancing enthusiastically to the rhythm, so the atmosphere probably wasn’t bad.

Was Yurippe and Mochi wearing matching pink outfits a bit, or was that during the encore?

It was a bit. Yurippe was wearing black the whole time.

If they show excessive, lovey-dovey friendliness in Fukuoka, that’s a danger signal.

>>337 Even so, Nana-san looked pretty lonely. Could Yurippe have yelled at her?

Are there supporting musicians this time?

Kurose, Karita, and Mr. Ohashi.

Why doesn’t this tour have a big screen? They had one through last year…

To save money!

Rather than saving money, it’s just unusual for a live house to have one of those…

Yurippe, a slim 165 cm beauty, is the best!

Yurippe is so tall!

It’s about time for priority reservations for the New Year’s Eve live. I’m planning to travel from Kanto to attend, so I want to find out early whether I’ll be able to get a ticket.

Transportation gets more expensive at the end of the year, so why hold a New Year’s Eve live?

It feels quiet without Oga. I’ve only seen him at GARNET CROW lives, but he always looks like he’s having fun, and I like him.

Have they become unable to write a song that surpasses “夢みたあとで”…?

Does the song “アルゼンチーナ” have anything to do with Argentinians?

They were captivated by Argentine football supporters. Boca Juniors’ home ground, La Bombonera, is truly amazing!!

>>350 Go tell Nana, who came up with the idea.

What country is Miss Argentina from again?

Question for everyone going to the Fukuoka show! Around what time are you going? Is it better to go early after all?

(´･ω･) “Don’t make me say several times that I’m in a terrible mood~♪”

>>356 A Spanish dancer.

Yuri: “You should have realized by now that repairing things is impossible!?” Nana: “(´；ω；｀)”

Yurippe usually wears Wacoal underwear, right?

>>337 In 2009, she sang “止まっていた時計が,” then bowed deeply before leaving. Were the stage lights dimmed at that point? The lights also seemed to be dim when she came onstage.

Yurippe looks a little strange if you look closely.

(#´･ω･) “What did you say, you bastard? Look in the mirror before you talk.”

Anyone looks strange in the face if you look closely. For ordinary people, it would be practically paranormal.

Oga looks disgusting if you look closely.

People used to say the same thing about him many times in the Komatsu thread.

>>367 The criticism of Oga in the Komatsu thread was especially memorable when it came to arranging, lol.

Mochi was also criticized harshly in the Ueki thread, lol. And fans of Kuraki attacked him over a certain song too, lol.

You’re talking about arguments and Kuraki and all that… Go search the lyrics to STAY. It’s Duras. It’s The Lover (L’Amant). As someone from the same generation as Nana-san, who is nearing 40, being told “still here” would make anyone cry. Don’t you understand that feeling?

The only thing I remember about the film The Lover is the Lolita erotic scene.

>>361 The underwear is somewhat interesting, but what I’m more curious about is which brand of pantyliner she uses.

>>372 A long time ago there was also someone who said they had e-mailed to ask… ………Was that you?!

“ON THE WAY” and “恋のあいまに,” which I didn’t like much at first, have finally grown on me the more I listen to them. Now STAY has become the first GC album where I can listen to every track without skipping any.

I skip only “夢のひとつ.” I’m such an outlier.

Before that, don’t skip the “no” (の).

>>373 I only asked once, but I didn’t get a reply. Even so, I still don’t have the courage to call and ask.

I absolutely love “花は咲いて、ただ揺れて.”

>>375 “夢のひとつ” is my favorite song on this single, though.

Yurippe wears Wacoal underwear. She takes care of her pantyliners with Sarasaty.

Yurippe would look great in red see-through panties (^ω^).

If they made Yurippe’s pubic hair into a first-run bonus, would it sell a million copies?

Collecting a million pubic hairs would be too much work.

There’d be no way to tell whether they were genuine. Just pluck Mochi’s hair and stick it on.

I’m surprised to find that quite a lot of people have songs they don’t like in GARNET CROW. I like all of them, so I never skip anything. Even if I shuffle the more than 120 songs I own, I like every song that comes up. It’s the best, lol.

>>385 You’d probably skip the remix versions, though.

Furiously masturbating with pubic hair in hand, only to discover it’s actually Mochi’s hair—that’s the punchline, right…

It’s always the untalented ones who criticize people incessantly.

As a single it isn’t bad, but considering the album’s flow, I always find myself wanting to get to Hallelujah quickly.

Didn’t Yurippe say it was Triumph? She said she doesn’t care much about coordinating the top and bottom.

Is the microphone used for the tour wired? I’d like to see Yurippe running around without a cable once in a while too.

The flaw of “夢のひとつ” is that it’s too much of a model student.

Doesn’t Yurippe have no pubic hair?

Regarding “夢のひとつ,” in the latter half of the chorus you can hear what sounds like the Windows error sound you get when you accidentally press keys where there’s nothing.

There are three days left until the Fukuoka live. So far, it doesn’t look like we need to worry about a typhoon.

>>394 I really can hear it, lol! What sound is it exactly?

It’s the sound of Mochi undoing a bra clasp.

Please tell me exactly what minute and second it is.

Around 1:57–1:58, I think.

It’s only for an instant, so you won’t hear it unless you listen carefully.

Walking down the street~♪ 　　＼　|　／ 　　― Θ ― 　　／　°＼ 　　　 ('A`) 　　　 ノヽノヽ 　　　　 　くく

Not “bon,” but the “pepon” one, right?

>>402 Yes, yes. The one that sounds relatively light and cheerful.

>>337 In 2009, after singing “止まっていた時計が,” she bowed deeply and left. Were the stage lights dimmed at that point? The stage lights also seemed dim when she came on.

People masturbate to Yurippe (Yuri Nakamura, vocals), but nobody masturbates to Azuki. She looks beautiful at first glance, but she has no sex appeal.

Yuri → vulgar Nana → holy

>>376 When you download it from iTunes, the title appears as “夢ひとつ.” Of course, I corrected it myself.

Hiruta was always touting symbolism too. Good or bad, if you can’t break free from symbolism, you can’t start applying for JEF. You can’t have someone with feet that stinky at the core forever. That’s why Ejiri is truly no good.

This album: Hello Sadness ⇒ like 百年の孤独 ⇒ okay 花咲いてただ揺れて ⇒ like Elysium ⇒ like Doing All Right ⇒ dislike ON THE WAY ⇒ like Stay ⇒ dislike 日々のほとり ⇒ dislike 夢のひとつ ⇒ like Hallelujah ⇒ okay Rainy Soul ⇒ dislike 恋のあいまに ⇒ dislike

>>408 Agreed.

>>409 That’s almost exactly like me. People here rate it highly, but personally I think it’s a subtle album… I hear that if you don’t like Rainy Soul, you can return it to Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto).

No one can make an album that satisfies everyone.

Applications for tickets to the Fukuoka show close in 17 minutes. What should I do…?

Hallelujah sounded amazing when I listened to it after leaving work!

>>412 Doesn’t everyone like hairless?

There are so many contrarians in this thread.

The annual MFM subscription is 4,200 yen, right? Are you all applying? Is the paper format the same as before?

The tickets are gone＼(^o^)／ …Huh, Pia is still alive. I guess I can only buy one there.

I set LOCKS aside and bought the album without even listening to the singles, and it was so good it scared me.

>>405 The realm of Nana-sama (AZUKI Nana, lyricist) is beyond even imagination.

>>404 I looked at this thread again. Asking twice in such a short time—you’re quite a devoted fan. Even though it was standing-room-only, GARNET CROW fans didn’t push or shove, and didn’t force their way in. I was moved by that in Yokohama, so I’ll answer you, lol. Because there was a screen showing video, the lights stayed on until she finished bowing and turned back to face the front. When the lights dimmed, it felt like she started walking toward the side of the stage.

>>351 Oga Ken is confirmed to be alive and well in Mai Kuraki’s �Ith live currently airing on NHK-BS.

Nana’s pussy is too good, lol.

Has AZUKI-san never worked as a talent? With that beauty, I think she could have been a fashion model too…

>>424 She worked as a talent during university. Search YouTube for “Rie Sugaya.” Apparently she also worked as a model afterward. Unfortunately, though, I haven’t found any photos or images of that side of her.

>>425-san Thank you for such a thoughtful reply m(_ _)m. I searched right away… she feels like quite a B-grade talent… I started supporting GARNET CROW precisely because I fell in love with AZUKI-san’s poetic world, so I’m a little shaken…

>>426 > She feels like quite a B-grade talent… Precisely because of that, she understands the dark side of people’s hearts and the artificiality of the television world.

Sugaya was cute, though, wasn’t she? lol

I see. I feel like I understand the origin of AZUKI-san’s poetic world now. Maybe the bitterness of that period is what made her dislike appearing on television or at events.

Yurippe, stop playing Dragon Quest all the time.

>>430 Can you see Yurippe’s cleavage while she’s playing Dragon Quest?

>>380-381 >>390 The top and bottom are a matching set. There are surprisingly many frilly styles, too (^ω^).

Is the tour microphone wired? I’d like to see Yurippe running around with a wireless mic once in a while too.

It’s wireless. Okamocchi also appears on both sides during the second half.

Anyway, congratulations on taking seventh place. But 22,800 copies is down from the previous album… Did you all buy it properly? I haven’t bought it yet, so I’m going today ノシ.

Yurippe’s Dragon Quest IX: 1 Yurippe Superstar Back row 2 Okamocchi Paladin Back row 3 Mr. Furui (Hirohito Furui) Sage Back row 4 Nana Minstrel Front row

For the previous album, I bought two each of the A edition, B edition, and regular edition. This time I bought only one each of A, B, and regular. At least that’s three fewer copies from me… I overwhelmingly prefer this release, but my enthusiasm for GARNET CROW has dropped a little.

I can finally listen to the new album. Stay is so good~~ oh man… it’s so good~~~~~~~~~~~~, right~~~~~~~~~~~~.

>>421 The neckline was cut quite low. Didn’t you see her cleavage when she bowed?

On the two-disc DVD from the fifth-anniversary concert, how many minutes of the concert were included on the concert disc?

Rather than Mochi’s solo or a Hitoshi & Yuri combination, I’d rather hear even one GARNET CROW song as GARNET CROW. Also, the MC feels too long.

Mochi’s solo was enough. Seriously, if Mochi gets a solo, then the old man or Nana should get one too. The old man would be fine, but Nana would immediately develop her unwillingness-to-do-it condition… The harmonies should originally have been sung by Nana too, but she’s so stubborn that she absolutely won’t do it. As for Hitoshi & Yuri, isn’t that already what the current GARNET CROW is? lol

>>442 Mochi’s segment is important rest time for Yurippe.

A keyboard solo by the old man would be nice too… always.

>>417 I’m debating whether to apply. It used to be free, after all, and now it costs 4,200 yen a year.

I almost got hit by the old man’s out-of-control Porsche. His driving isn’t very good.

>>446 I’m dying, lol. Out of control, seriously? lol.

I asked a girl I like to go to a concert with me, but she turned me down. I worked up the courage to e-mail her, too (´・ω・｀).

>>448 I think she would have happily come if it were RADWIMPS or Arashi.

She might have gone if it were an Okamoto Night.

>>448 This time I invited a coworker who isn’t a fan to the concert, but I was worried throughout the entire show… (Would she find it boring? I didn’t want her to see me getting carried away.) I think it’s more convenient to go alone or with GARNET CROW fans, so you can let loose and enjoy the concert. (・ω・｀；)

There is nothing GARNET CROW cannot do. Even Cowboy Kurose acknowledges them as the 21st-century world standard. GARNET CROW is the global benchmark for 21st-century musical solutions! Come, too, and become a favorite of this era in Nana-sama’s garden of lyrics! On this 2ch board, there is a tendency for immature people who haven’t understood Yuri’s sacred singing technique to casually belittle Okamoto and Mochi while setting aside their own incompetence. But no matter how loudly the immature ones shout, GARNET CROW’s value will not decrease. Rather, this is the perfect opportunity to show the world the greatness of Furui, the king of arranging. I’ll say it again. There is nothing GARNET CROW cannot do! If GARNET CROW has a limit, that is the limit point of human civilization.

At the very end of this video, where Nana-san bows, I was wondering: Is Nana-san a little bald? lol The crown of her head… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VImSCSqQL8Y

Whenever they hold a concert in Kanto, I invite a friend who isn’t a fan, but I give her the latest album first so she can listen to it beforehand, so I feel like she enjoys herself every time.

>>448 Exactly. I can’t enjoy myself when I have to worry about the other person, so I’ve decided to go alone.

GARNET CROW is pretty convenient to attend alone too.

>>421 The neckline was cut quite low. Didn’t you see her cleavage when she bowed?

>>426 I completely fail to understand what there is to be shaken about.

When did their sales tactics become this sleazy?

Having limited and regular editions may be unavoidable in this era, but I really wish they’d stop releasing two limited editions of an album.

Rather than sleazy, I think it’s interesting that you can choose the version you want.

Haven’t the details of the countdown concert been released yet? Do you think I can go even though I’m a minor?

I’m a little worried about what time I’ll get home after the countdown concert ends…

Can you go out at night starting at age 18?

>>453 She’s not bald… That level doesn’t count as bald!!!!!

>>464 I feel like high-school students can’t. From the police’s perspective.

Around the summer or autumn of the year before last, I wrote here: “Even if they release a limited A (with DVD), limited B (with photo book), regular first-run edition (with sticker), and regular edition, I’ll buy them all!” And then they really made limited A and B. Maybe it’s my fault. Sorry. But I was talking about singles at the time, so I never expected them to use it for an album…

>>457 It wasn’t much, but I saw soft-looking cleavage.

Speaking of the concert, do you think it’s better to stand toward the front on the old man’s side, or a little farther back but closer to the center?

>>409 What the heck is “Irizi”? lol.

Ijiri Okamoto.

>>469 For the Yokohama show, the Furui-san side might be better. Okamocchi’s “Doing All Right” solo was performed on the Furui side, and both Furui-san and Okamocchi threw picks. Maybe you’ll get to see the fruits of Okamocchi’s pick-throwing practice in Fukuoka. If you like Nana-san, the Nana-san side is better. Anyway, it’s a lot of fun. Go experience it for yourself!

I’ve been a fan for nine years, but for some reason I stopped buying CDs starting with “世界は回るというけれど.” I still went to the Yokohama concert, though… Are there other people like me? By the way, in the latter half of the “夢のひとつ” PV, Mochi steals Yurippe away, leaving Azuki looking sad…

>>472 At the Yokohama show, I was a little toward the back and high up on the old man’s side. Surprisingly, I could see Yurippe in the center of the stage very clearly. But during the second half, when Yurippe sang while moving left and right, the closer she got, the harder she was to see. (Because the people in front all stood on tiptoe, so I couldn’t see at all—.)

Haven’t the details of today’s radio appearance been released yet?

I didn’t know they were appearing on the radio today… Why does the official news always come out at the last minute…!! Tell us earlier…

>>453 I’ve thought that for a long time. But when you look at her up close at a concert, she’s just someone with soft, somewhat thin hair. Nakamura-san has an incredible amount of hair and looks cool. I want to make a wig out of Yurippe’s hair.

>>473 Yurippe is dejected beside Ijiri, while Azuki watches from the shadows of a pillar.

Does Yurippe have something like a vibrator? Or does she take care of it with her fingers?

>>477 Is having a lot of hair what makes someone handsome…? What a novel opinion. Azuki-san’s hair is extremely soft and limp. Still, it looks cooler and sexier when it’s short like on the “世界は〜” cover, so that’s good. When her hair gets long, I feel like a sense of heavy female karma faintly shows through… somehow…

>>421 The neckline was cut quite low. Didn’t you see her cleavage when she bowed?

I learned about GARNET CROW through “flying,” but for some reason at first I thought the person wearing blue (Nana) was responsible for backing vocals.

The “flying” cover makes her look like a boy, after all.

Is nobody listening to today’s radio show? Is it another Hitoshi & Yuri pairing?

Even when Yurippe and Mochi appear, they say roughly the same things every time, so it’s boring. GARNET CROW has become very commercial too.

Yokohama, then Fukuoka? I’m a little worried about Hitoshi-san.

>>482 I wrote 483 before seeing your post. Somehow we both ended up talking about “flying” at the same time.

So there were two radio appearances? Even though I could have listened to both… I had no idea. But it was probably Yurippe and Mochi again anyway, so never mind.

>>486 Are you talking about Tamura?

>>448 I wanted to ask a girl I like too, but she works in healthcare and can’t travel far, so I gave up. If only they held a show in the city at least~ (´・ω・｀).

fvgf

For those who have been to Zepp FUKUOKA, what are the lockers like in terms of number and size? I want to thank the friend who helped me get a ticket, but would giving them a gift before the concert be a nuisance? I’m considering giving a small souvenir snack… Would it be okay if I gave it after the concert instead?

There’s no woman I like more than AZUKI Nana. That’s why I’m going alone. I never wanted anyone to accompany me. I want to concentrate all my energy on Nana. Sometimes I find it a little unfortunate that I end up caring about Yurippe herself.

You’re going to give someone something just for a ticket? lol. What kind of thought process is that? lol. She doesn’t need snacks, lol. Buy her merchandise instead, lol!!!!!!!

I think the hat will be especially popular.

>>492 I found something like this (・∀・): http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1224024042

I’ve bet my whole life on Yurippe too. That’s precisely why, if she betrays me, I’ll never forgive her.

At the concert a few days ago, during either Eden or Spiral, she moved around the stage while spinning, and Yurippe’s long hair, hanging loose, floated and swayed. It felt fresh~.

Yurippe’s bangs are naturally curly.

If this is post 500, someone will announce the radio details.

If this is post 501, Yuri will extend Spiral without permission.

Since the Yokohama concert, I can listen only to GARNET. But CD recordings still aren’t satisfying enough… I want to hear that concert impact.

>>485 I didn’t really want to say this, but GARNET has treated it as work from the beginning.

I know why Yuri can’t date you people. It seems people from the future are interfering. Here’s the source: The various failures and problems preventing CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) from operating are supposedly explained by a theory that the forces of the universe are preventing the Higgs boson from being produced. This theory was proposed by Dr. Holger Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and Dr. Masao Ninomiya of Kyoto University’s Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (in an abstract of a paper posted on arXiv.org). According to the study, the Higgs boson that the LHC is trying to produce is so unacceptable to nature that it is prevented by reverse time. They hypothesize that the LHC’s production of the Higgs boson is being prevented by the future through reverse causality. The two doctors began proposing this theory around spring 2008, and reportedly looked back on the LHC failure that autumn as “a strange event that makes us unable not to believe in the validity of our theory.” They also believe that the American Superconducting Super Collider project, which was canceled in 1993, was inevitable as well. It’s like traveling back in time to kill your own grandfather, so to speak. Dr. Nielsen said, “According to our prediction, every device capable of producing the Higgs boson will have bad luck.” http://slashdot.jp/science/09/10/16/0229216.shtml

Speaking of the Yokohama concert, almost nobody around me clapped during the transition from Rhythm to “水のない晴れた海へ.” It had that kind of atmosphere throughout…

Is the Namba HATCH concert scheduled to be permanently preserved on the 22nd?

Isn’t it just repeating things they did at the fan event?

Several parts of the concert MC repeated things we had heard at the fan-club event, so it didn’t feel fresh. I think there was no need to force the MC that much.

They’re planning to perform “恋のあいまに” acoustically.

Thanks for your hard work, everyone involved.

I want to buy a ticket. Can I get one at Lawson?

>>511 I think the 22nd is right. It looks like there are still tickets. http://l-tike.com/pc/d1/AA01G03F1.do?rsvFlg=0&txtEvtCd=52491&txtVenueCd=59323&srcID=AA02G01

>>499 It feels like only her bangs are straightened with a flat iron.

>>496 Thanks! That’s very helpful.

I want to kiss Yuri’s mentaiko.

Let me be harsh about this concert: it feels like they didn’t rehearse enough. Even the setlist—もう一度笑って, Argentina, 涙のイエスタデー. They’re doing things they’ve already done again??? That’s how it feels. Could Yuri and Hitoshi have been so busy with promotional activities that they couldn’t prepare in the ideal condition?

Yuri’s lips look like Anago-sensei’s…

>>516 I think Yuri, Mochi, and the old man all worked hard. The problem is that Nana-sama lacks motivation, lol. Recently she often doesn’t even participate in interviews.

The setlist really is similar to last time. Maybe they were too busy with back-to-back events. Could there be some hidden circumstances with Nana-sama…? She’s always been quiet, but even during Lock On she only spoke after swinging the microphone stand around once, lol.

>>516 Leaving “もう一度” aside, Argentina and 涙の are both suited to a fast-paced sprint toward the end, so there’s no problem with them, right? More than that, Yuri absolutely loves getting excited and singing along with everyone, so I think the real problem is that too many audience members don’t get excited or sing along.

Everyone already knows Azuki is a total free spirit, so they’re just gently letting her do as she pleases. Concert rehearsals are basically Azuki’s nap time.

>>512 Can I buy it at Lawson using the machine?

This may be an old topic, but the chord progression in “Elysium” on the new album sounds exactly like T.M.Revolution’s “Thunderbird.” Am I the only one who thinks so? It’s unavoidable that things sound somewhat similar these days, but if the songs are similar, I wish they would make one where you could clearly feel, “This one is the masterpiece,” with a huge difference. Unfortunately, that Rose Tribe guy’s song actually sounds better.

I heard Nana once said, “I hate concerts.”

Yuri… wear a miniskirt or hot pants sometime~//

>>520 However you look at it, Yuri is the one who got it wrong. Most of the audience came to listen. It’s embarrassing; I hope she’s noticed by now. Keeping the MC to a minimum, not making the audience sing along, and simply singing properly to the end would make it more enjoyable than it is now.

Move forward, go go—GARNET CROW! (lol) Give us your love!! (lol) Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh), oh-oh-oh-oh! Heisei!

I think the atmosphere of a concert is important too. What counts as good is a matter of personal taste. Personally, I want them to create a dreamy atmosphere. There’s no need for songs made solely so people can jump around, dance (and look uncool doing it), have everyday conversations, or sing together.

Then write it on the survey! You’re so noisy!

I’m not stupid enough to state my personal preferences in an official setting like a survey. Where else could I say that kind of thing if not on this crappy forum?

>>526 I don’t think she got it wrong. Yuri would be hurt if you put it that way… Actually, I think everyone had a great time. When all is said and done, people who don’t want to be rowdy can sit and listen, while others want to get excited with Yuri. I don’t think everyone is like >>526. Isn’t that freedom a good thing?

They’re only talking about a “concept tour” now, but GARNET has never had a consistent concept. Now the otaku with incompatible tastes are quarreling with each other, so I suppose this is a debt coming due. People who became fans because they were drawn to that high artistry will feel out of place. That’s all.

>>525 If she wore a miniskirt, she’d definitely wear safety shorts underneath. Her standards on that front are an iron wall.

Huh?! Looks like you don’t understand the essence of concerts. Yokohama was incredibly fun. Singing together was the best! Eden, Rocket, Spiral, and Hallelujah got everyone excited—it was truly the best. Let loose and have fun. It really was fun.

>>534 No, I don’t expect that kind of thing from GARNET, lol. On the contrary, I think people who can have fun that way are impressive. I imagine you haven’t listened to many bands whose concerts are the main event.

>>530 Writing it on the survey is better for the members themselves… When ten or a hundred people gather around the same preference, it becomes the fan base, right? It should be useful as material for deciding what direction their concerts should take. It’s a little difficult to write it tactfully… but the survey is anonymous, right?

Rather than a concept, I think the structure is consistent. They always gather things with ballads before and after “夢みたあとで,” which Nana sings, and then after that they launch into the final sprint. The encore also always starts with a quiet song and ends by building excitement with Spiral. The old man probably considered the variety of fans. Yuri simply loves getting excited.

> “It ends with everyone getting excited to Spiral.” Isn’t that just a forced old routine? And in a concert synchronized with a sequencer like this one, even the number of repetitions is decided in advance, so saying things like “Can we do it one more time~?” is really awkward.

I don’t own a single CD, but I’m a little interested in this group. The atmosphere is unique.

At concerts I focus on the songs and the members’ movements, so I stand completely still like a statue.

The person who’s been saying since earlier that MC isn’t necessary definitely has no friends.

The idiots who dance and the idiots who watch. We’re all idiots anyway, so you might as well dance.

If you don’t like them, just don’t listen to GARNET or come to the concerts. You spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yen on CDs and then nitpick everything… Who do you think you are? (lol) If you want an artist who matches your preferences 100%, become a producer yourself and debut someone, lol.

Everyone asks for too much. I’m satisfied as long as Yuri, Okamoto, Nana, and the old man are there. If I could make just one selfish request, Yurippe’s concert outfits should be based on Live Sco 2008 (when she didn’t wear safety shorts).

>>533 True… I want to see Yuri’s beautiful legs.//

Are the queue numbers first come, first served?

Actually, I don’t dislike the full-body mirror-ball look either.

>>535 I’ve always thought that too. There are probably lots of anime otaku, idol fans, J-pop nerds, and brats attending their first concert. Such strong prejudice.

There seem to be a lot of people attending their first concert.

What is a standard concert actually like? For GARNET, if possible, I’d like to sit down, watch the stage, and listen properly.

>>547 I really wish all the members would do that. Then Nakamura would be the only one who looked like she was being punished, lol.

>>546 If you call Lawson Ticket, they should be able to answer everything. Try calling once. The queue numbers are first come, first served.

>>547 Fellow fan ( ´∀｀)人(´∀｀ ). (By the way, it was sparkling during the Yokohama encore.) Mochi’s look is the one I think suits Lock On best.

Exactly. The first-floor seats at Yokohama looked like they were having fun. Everyone on the second floor except for a few people looked a little bewildered. I was one of those few people.

I like the black tracksuit she wore at her first concert (lol).

>>556 Agreed! Yuri’s casual style (・∀・) is great!!!

>>555 is what I meant.

I hope she wears a plaid miniskirt.

>>555 Because you saw the green pants.

At GARNET concerts, I think it’s good to listen quietly where you should, get excited where you should, and have a balance between the two. Spiral really is the best! Let loose and get excited—it’s fun.

If you can’t get into the final song, Spiral, then stop calling yourself a GARNET fan (lol).

>>554 The first-floor seats (standing room) are for young people, right? The second-floor seats are for older people, right? I’m going to die… I’m not young anymore, yet I thought I was and bought a first-floor ticket (´；ω；｀).

You’re the one who should quit.

(´･ω･) “Add red beans to old mochi and you get zenzai.” (;■ω■) (；￣_￣) ( ^ω^)

I just reserved a ticket, but my queue number will probably be near the back, right?

The regional shows aren’t selling well at all, so any number should be fine. My Yokohama queue number was over 1,000, and I could still see normally. 500 people is probably the limit for a regional show, right?

No, I reserved the opening night at Namba HATCH. If the queue numbers are first come, first served… I’m a little worried.

http://www.garnetcrow.com/news/live.html#info20091017_1 For people going to Fukuoka.

If my queue number for the Osaka show is over 500, will I be able to see Yuri?

No matter where you stand, you probably won’t be unable to see her.

>>440 It’s a little late, but it was 38 minutes.

At a live house, height and skill at holding your spot matter more than your number.

Even if you’re in the second row, it’s awful if someone tall is standing in front of you.

I’m short… but I went and picked up my ticket (´∀｀).

I’m grateful to be 180 cm tall, but on the other hand I feel sorry for the people behind me at venues like that. Sorry for being such a blockhead.

>>572 Yeah. It was hard for me at first too, but I got thoroughly trained at a bakery.

I’m a virgin. Are there any songs you recommend for virgins?

>>577 His Voyage.

>>577 A crown.

集メルHEAVEN.

For a song recommended to virgins, it has to be “たとえば12月の夜に.” On Christmas, listening to it while walking outside among all the couples would make you cry.

トランス・トラップ.

>>577 夜深けの童貞たち.

Does the Osaka show on the 22nd have no chairs either?

>>577 花は咲いてただ揺れて.

>>571 Thank you (*´∀｀*).

>>584 If you want to sit that badly, bring your own chair. The concept this time is no chairs.

For those going to Fukuoka tomorrow: if there’s tea among the drinks, you’d better not choose it. Tea supposedly has a diuretic effect and makes you want to use the bathroom constantly. After drinking bottled tea, I really needed to go.

>>588 Come to think of it, wouldn’t it be better to pick it up after the show? Still, it’s depressing to pay 500 yen for mineral water and get something like vanadium natural water that costs 100 yen outside…

There’s alcohol too.

I’m only now reading the MFM GARNET special issue that I bought at the venue and hadn’t opened yet. This thing is great…

The best merchandise this time is the plastic-wrapped book. Second best is the cloth tote bag.

What if Azuki is absent tomorrow? We’ll just say it’s the flu on the surface.

Arson at GIZA… never mind.

Nana-sama’s pussy feels so good, lol.

>>593 If we need firefighters, it’ll be people around Aika Ohno, right?! (−ω−)

Yuri’s outfit at the 2009 ZARD memorial concert had an astonishingly low neckline. It was the third-anniversary special program on YouTube, and the neckline really was unbelievably low. I wish I could have seen it live. For those who did, what was it like? Did you see her cleavage when she bowed?

I did.

No. Azuki got the flu, but the other members were fine. Isn’t that strange? Ah—does this mean communication between them has been completely cut off?

The firefighter is Yuri’s mother.

What did Yurippe (Yuri Nakamura, vocals) wear at the 2009 ZARD memorial concert? For those who saw it live, what did you think? The neckline was quite low.

It’s my first concert tomorrow, but I’m on the second floor aaaaaah. Is the second floor really boring?

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

Mr. Holiday’s dance is so much fun. Is that why they decided to make it standing-room-only?

>>602 It’s nice that you get to sit.

Thanks. I’ll enjoy it properly.

>>602 It may not suit people who want to get really excited at a concert, but for shy people who want to watch quietly, feel embarrassed about getting excited, and don’t know how to follow the rhythm, the second-floor reserved seats (they are reserved seats, right?) are actually quite good. But since they’re far away, it may be disappointing if your eyesight is poor.

But if you stay seated, you’ll be left outside the atmosphere by the end.

Anyone on the second-floor seats who can match Yurippe’s Spiral moves is a true warrior. That must be embarrassing. I salute you.

I think the reasons they chose a live house and made this standing-room-only format are: ・Make the venues smaller and increase the tour’s regions and number of shows. ・Increase the number of shows and have the same customers come multiple times to fill the venue (even though there are no seats, lol). ・Expect merchandise revenue from fans in places that were previously too far away to visit.

My Sapporo ticket arrived, and the queue number is two digits. They must be selling pretty badly… Yurippeeeeee!!!

It’s my first concert tomorrow too. I’m really looking forward to it. But standing the whole time sounds tiring.

I hadn’t planned to go, but I won an auction at the last minute, so I couldn’t help it. Thanks for your kindness. I’m going to worship GANE at the venue.

I’m in the four-digit range for Osaka! I have to bring binoculars, lol.

How many tickets were sold for Fukuoka?

>>611 It sounds like it’ll be as fun as an in-store live. You should be able to chat with them properly and things like that.

>>616 When there aren’t many audience members, I feel a little bad~. Talking to Yurippe would be so embarrassing, lol.

You can ejaculate endlessly into Yurippe’s pussy!!

They’re selling fan-club allotment tickets at auction. Can you get into the venue with one?

>>619 For this concert, even with a ticket obtained through a fan-club allotment, they don’t ask to see your membership card at the entrance, so you can get in normally. By the way, with completely unreserved seating, the staff handling entry must have a tough job too… This time they didn’t even check people’s bags.

I don’t know what the Hitoshi & Yuri segment will do, but wouldn’t it be nice to have it at every venue? Then again, wouldn’t that mean they’d be showing off their affection?

Seeing Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) and Yuri now makes me feel that the inexperienced, innocent atmosphere of their first concert was better.

The First LIVE was amazing~. I’ve watched the DVD until it’s nearly worn out.

The effort put in will probably be: 10th-anniversary best-of tour & New Year’s Eve concert ＞＞＞ livescope 2009.

When I went to karaoke today, they played the four-person message for karaoke users.

>>614 I was in the Yokohama BLITZ number 12**, but I could see Yurippe’s expressions and so on clearly. (The old man next to me took out binoculars to watch the stage at first, but stopped halfway through.)

All right, I’m a winner in life because I’m focusing exclusively on the New Year’s Eve concert! That’s what I thought, but what if I don’t get a ticket in the lottery? What will they do at the anniversary concert, I wonder— I want to hear “fill away.”

>>626 Because it was so ridiculous, lol.

>>600 It sounds like Yurippe’s mother has some contact with Nana-sama (AZUKI Nana, lyricist), doesn’t she?

Someone uploaded the Music Station video to YouTube! It’s my first time seeing the talk segment when they sang “君を飾る,” lol. I didn’t expect them to talk so much with Tamori—

>>588-590 If it’s a soft drink, they should include a bottle holder. By the way, I wish the Tokyo show were held at Zepp too.

It’s terrible compared with Livescope 2008, lol!!!!

>>626 I was in the 1200 range too. There was an old man with binoculars nearby. So that means you were near me at the time…

I saw Yurippe singing right there so close, but it still felt much better on Yurippe’s side.

>>634 Could it be this? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lX-XsD46j-M&hl Yuzo Okusu’s Ultraman sunglasses, plus going off-key at the key moments—it killed me, lol.

>>635 Yurippe looks cool with an old-man vibe, Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) looks plain, lol, and Kurumatani is cute, lol.

>>635 For some reason, I feel like a “pyokon” suddenly pops out.

I’m at karaoke right now, and GANE appeared on the screen that plays after the selected song finishes!!! But I noticed too late and only heard, “That was GARNET CROW~,” orz. There’s a song number for “花は咲いて〜,” and an advertisement for STAY below it, lol.

There have been so many questions about queue numbers. Shouldn’t we make a template? Though I can’t do it myself…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYkf2glcgrY The recitation at 2:13 is way too much like reading from a script, lol.

>>638 You’re still at karaoke at this hour… Are you waiting for the first train? (・ω・｀；)

>>640 She’s obviously reading a script from a prompt card. Yurippe isn’t good at speaking to begin with, so it can’t be helped.

Yurippe is completely stiff in interviews without an MC to guide her.

This video makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it, lol. It’s beyond merely reading from a script, lol!!!

I kept waiting and got to see it one more time! They were talking about STAY, and Yurippe asked the other three for recommended tracks. The old man recommended ON THE WAY, Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) recommended STAY, and Nana-san (AZUKI Nana, lyricist) said everyone should listen to 日々のほとり and relax, lol. Yurippe herself didn’t say anything… It was really fun to see, lol. >>641 I was simply spending the whole night at karaoke, lol.

Sky・Blue is such an incredible song. Though hardly anyone says so.

There are really a lot of great B-sides. Only “jowel fish” and “たとえば12月の夜に” are genuinely amazing. All the girls I played them for in the car went out and bought the single.

My first concert…! I’m already getting nervous. To everyone going to Fukuoka, I look forward to seeing you!

For now, let’s kill some time in Tenjin. Does anyone recommend a ramen shop?

At their first concert, it was here that Yurippe cried. After an MC saying something like “Thank you…,” she couldn’t sing the second verse of “夢みたあとで.” She finished it together with the audience. I remember it was nine years ago.

Were the seats at the 2009 ZARD concert at Dojima River Forum those pipe-frame chairs? Or were they like ordinary concert-hall seats? For example, like the seats at Festival Hall.

>>650 It was six years ago. Fukuoka was the final show.

>>649 Oogiya Ramen.

I’m getting nervous about my first GANE concert.

They’ll release a best-of album around the tenth-anniversary concert, but before that they need to release a major tie-in single and appear on television.

>>649 Shinshin.

>>634 It’s not that it was bad… but ZARD really needs to be performed by ZARD herself. Well, impressions vary from person to person.

>>650 I’d like to hear more details about what happened then m(_ _)m.

Does everyone go straight home after it ends?

>>650 Sorry, I remembered it wrong. So Fukuoka was the final show. Even though it was on the first floor, there were pipe-frame chairs. The stage was very simple. But there was no strange shouting or hype-man behavior. Rather than being quiet, the audience watched with bated breath. The whole show had a feeling of “You can do it!” I was surprised by the silver sequined outfit in the recent DVD. Yuri’s fashion sense has always been unique.

The Fukuoka group is heading out! I hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy it properly! And give us a live report afterward!

Only a few hours left! I’m so excited♪ Today I’m going to forget everything and enjoy it wholeheartedly! I’ll write a live report after it ends.

>>646 Well, it’s pretty popular. I like it too. GARNET CROW popularity poll: http://changi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/vote/1170067607/

>>646 It’s the second track on my personal best-of, lol. I love it!

>>646 I like it too. An ordinary person couldn’t write words like “doing a backflip.” For some reason, whenever I hear this song, I picture a bus traveling along the coast of Kamakura.

The application form for the New Year’s Eve concert hasn’t come out yet, right?

The application form for the New Year’s Eve concert hasn’t come out yet, right?

>>666-667 There, there. It hasn’t come out yet, so don’t worry. 　What a troublesome child you are.

>>666-667 I’ve already received mine.

I arrived at Zepp, but I came too early. I keep seeing men with backpacks here and there. Why is the backpack rate so high? lol

>>669 Really? Tell me the details~.

Backpack, glasses, T-shirt, towel around the neck, lol!!!!

>>671 It’ll be mailed with the next issue of the fan magazine anyway, so wait patiently.

Four days until the Namba concert!! I can’t wait!!!!

>>674 Apparently it’s been canceled.

>>675 Explain why.

>>675 You’ll be charged with obstructing business for saying that!

>>671 There are also people on 2ch who trick others and then chuckle to themselves, “Heh heh heh heh heh.” 　Everyone, be careful.

Sorry, but how many hours does the show last? If it ends before 8:30, I won’t be able to get back to Kansai…

>>679 If everything goes smoothly, it will end at 8:45. If you leave around the encore, you should barely make it.

>>679 If you ask it that way, people may think, “Who can guarantee what time it ends?!” So I think it would be better to ask: “Could someone who attended the Nagoya or Yokohama show and remembers roughly what time it ended tell me for reference?”

I didn’t notice that >>680 had already answered. My apologies.

I wonder if they’ll sing Elysion? ＞＜

(´･ω･) “The chorus recording is a・very・CROW・memory.” (´･ω･) “Eh, Sakai-san is…”

>>672 Should I imitate the GANE-otaku fashion too? I already have glasses, so I’ll buy a tacky backpack and a towel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkdDKh2rxtk Why is Yurippe in a bad mood in this? Is it because she isn’t standing in the center?

>>684 You should let her off the hook by now~ lol.

>>686 Could it be because the other two were too excited? After watching that, I like Yurippe even more.

>>687 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aa34Vw_QvI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4YC-IVLCns I forgive her.

>>686 Was this released on DVD?

There are so many people. Even all the ordinary passersby nearby feel like GARNET fans, lol!!!! Why is that…

What does the horse on the concert merchandise sticker mean?

>>686 All three of them should apologize to the Beatles, lol.

>>692 Red Desire.

There seem to be lots of men who look like the kind you’d see in Akihabara… Is number 150 considered near the front?

>>692 They’re all horse-sized.

>>680 Huh? Is it really that long? It lasts two and a half hours… Thanks very much. Surely Fukuoka won’t be the only shorter one here.

>>691 Someone mentioned this before too. Let’s give the phenomenon a name.

>>697 It gets longer every year, and there’s no way it starts at 6. It might run past 9.

The staff are probably watching this too, so Yurippe and Nana-san should act normally at Fukuoka today.

My younger sister and her three friends, plus my four friends, don’t know GARNET. ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡

Results of a survey among people around me: Woman, 30, lives in Fukuoka / (×) — Doesn’t know them Woman, 29, lives in Tokyo / (〇) — Knows them Man, 25, lives in Tokyo / (◎) — Haven’t seen them much lately Man, 31, lives in Tokyo / (△) — Can’t tell Romania from Montevideo

More importantly, when is the next fan magazine coming out?

How is entry in Fukuoka? Was it delayed? Is it still delayed?

>>698 “Yurippe’s curse.”

Does Namba HATCH have a parking lot? Or is there one nearby?

Miss Azuki arrived in a Lancia with Kyoto plates.

>>707 That’s fake news, right?

Oh, the Lancia with flight capability?

Hey, it hasn’t started yet. There’s a staff member in front who looks like Rakkyō Ide staring at me intensely, so I’m about to turn off my phone!

Question: Do people with backpacks keep wearing them, or put them on the floor? Do they use lockers? At the live shows I usually attend, some people occasionally leave their bags on the floor, which is dangerous…

Which row are you in counting from the front (or back), and which side are you on? If possible, please tell me your queue number too!! It’s for reference, so I can know, “With this number, I can probably watch from around here”…

Regarding Azuki’s car, it’s strange how someone posts fake information every time.

>>702 When did you hear that? lol The fourth person is made up, right? lol

>>712 It’s fine if you answer after the show. I’d be extremely grateful if you can.

At this time, Yurippe is probably singing something like “A hundred years of~~ solitude~ ah~♪”

>>712 The queue number only determines when you can enter using that number; it has nothing to do with “where around here you can probably watch.” After all, everyone wants a different place. Some people want to watch from the front, some want to watch from the slightly raised step in the middle, and some probably want to watch from the back. The first floor is completely unreserved, so you can watch wherever you want.

>>714 It isn’t made up~. (To answer seriously, the fourth person is a senior coworker.)

>>718 Hasn’t that senior coworker’s time stopped…?

>>711 Seriously, wearing a backpack in a live house is a nuisance to other people. At a GARNET show there isn’t much pushing, but it’s still bad to keep wearing it. I’ve never heard of anyone putting it on the floor. Polite people put it in a locker.

As expected.

Sorry, I posted that by mistake.

It wasn’t a backpack, but at Yokohama there was someone carrying a huge Boston bag over his shoulder. He came to the front and was a bit of a nuisance. No luggage allowed in the concert venue, seriously!

Bringing a Boston bag is unbelievably stupid.

>>724 Ah, so that’s someone who has already received the New Year’s Eve concert application form.

Namba starts at 19:00. Around what time will it end? Also, do you eat dinner before or after the show? I’m an after-the-show person.

9 p.m.

If your queue number is near the back, you probably won’t be able to use the lockers inside the venue. I recommend putting merchandise and bags in coin lockers at the station or nearby facilities that stay open after the show. >>726 I’m controlling my weight right now, so I’m an eat-before-the-show person. Normally I’m the type who goes home and drinks slowly afterward.

>>726 For some reason, eating ramen at a restaurant after the show has become a routine for me, lol. I eat ramen, quietly soak in the afterglow, and then go home. If you see a teenage girl eating ramen alone at night, that’s probably me, lol.

>>726 My stomach is easily upset… (tears). Before the show I plan to eat something simple, like a rice ball, then afterward I’m going to have a proper feast!

>>717 Thank you for the excellent advice. Then I’ll narrow the question down and ask people who want to get as far toward the front as possible.

Backpacks make you look like a gross otaku man, so don’t bring one.

Your face hasn’t changed anyway, so you’ll look the same.

>>726 The Nagoya show, which started at the same time, ended before 10 p.m. So even at the fastest, it should reach 9:30 p.m. There are lots of songs, plus the chorus practice.

I’m looking forward to everyone’s impressions (*^ω^*).

Kurose, lol. At the encore, he abruptly cut off Yurippe’s MC and started playing the song, which annoyed me a little. By the way, this show converted me from a Nana-san (AZUKI Nana, lyricist) fan to a Yurippe fan. Everything Yurippe does is unbearably cute.

It was so crowded that I went home without exchanging my drink ticket. I heard they’ll release an eighth album and a best-of album at next year’s tenth-anniversary show. (The seventh album has only just come out.) They’re pushing themselves too hard. With the schedule packed this tightly, it makes me nervous about after next spring…

Ten years… It went by in the blink of an eye…

There are lots of people connected with the industry in the second-floor seats at Namba.

>>736 > Abruptly cut off Yurippe’s MC at the encore That’s too much. Is he a little manic?

Kurose at his usual level. Too loud.

>>737 Another album… At this rate, after next spring really will be dangerous…

He didn’t abruptly cut her off; he intentionally overlapped the song intro with the MC. He’s done that several times at previous shows too.

>>737 An eighth album… That’s terrifying…

>>737 Could that bad feeling really be coming true?

Someone wrote that the leader said their schedule through the first half of next year has already been set. Nothing after that has been decided yet.

Are they releasing a best-of album next year? Those of you going to the show, please cover your cleavage as soon as possible.

Could GIZA really be in trouble? Is that why they’re releasing a best-of and an eighth album one after another?

Does it mean they’re trying to get everything out before the March closing?

Did they say they’re releasing an eighth album? Isn’t it only a single?

I don’t want them to break up.

The origin of STAY Okamoto’s tears An eighth album is already coming A best-of album in March A best-of tour decided very early Their first New Year’s Eve concert

Could the company be going bankrupt by the end of March…?

Do artists become more active before they break up?

If they have material in storage from before, they’ll probably release everything to turn at least some of it into cash.

What about Airi?

>>754 That’s how GIZA has been lately.

>>754 At least that’s how it is at GIZA.

(つД`) I only became a fan last year and just joined the fan club this year. Nooooooo.

>>752 The reason the best-of tour still has a tentative name.

If Yurippe goes solo, it would be nice if she sang enka.

livescope 2010 Final scope the Best

Changing the subject, from the audience’s perspective, how did Yurippe and Nana-san seem with each other today? Was the setlist the same as before?

>>763 Why didn’t you use sage? Are you stupid?

>>760 >>762 Don’t say such frightening things…

Okamoto’s tears. Did something happen?

No, it didn’t feel like an overlap. The timing was strange too, and Yurippe even paused for a moment. It seems like you can see Nana-san’s cleavage every time she bows, lol.

Okamoto-san has been crying often lately. Does that mean they’re really going to break up? Do you know the setlist?

>>764 You didn’t use sage either. Look carefully at the e-mail field.

That shitty Airi should retire already! Give GARNET CROW the good tie-in songs first.

The thing about Mochi crying was from the previous fan-club event, right? He didn’t cry today, did he?

>>770 Good tie-in songs: ・Detective Conan …orz

There are a lot of disgusting male fans. Groups of old men who don’t line up and keep coughing, and frivolous groups of men who come over and say, “I’m going to block the entrance now. Want to come?” There are embarrassing but overexcited old men in short sleeves and shorts. And the drums were too loud. I was on Furui’s side, but they were so loud I couldn’t even hear the keyboards. The show itself was great, though. Azuki talked constantly, and Mochi moved around a lot too.

>>769 I hadn’t noticed at all. Thanks. And sorry.

It’s Mr. Shitty Bastard! (He was bullied and then ran away in the Airi thread before, lol.)

Lasting ten years is already pretty impressive. GARNET CROW has given us wonderful music even though none of their singles has sold 100,000 copies. Thank you for everything!

Leaving the best-of aside, is the eighth album really happening…?

If the album sells a little more, the company should be able to make it through the closing.

I got out around Spiral at 8:30 and caught the Shinkansen. There was only one encore, right? Anyway, the atmosphere in Hakata was a little off, wasn’t it? Well, after all, they hadn’t come to Hakata for five years and had neglected it, so the bill came due. How can they sing “NAKED STORY” without an “yea yea yea”! It’s good that there were so many new fans, though…

The eighth album will probably have three versions: with a PV, with a remix CD, and the regular edition. As for the BEST: ・with PV ・with Live Collection DVD ・with photo book ・with remix CD ・with bonus CD containing selected B-sides ・regular edition Something like that, probably.

>>777 was posted first.

If they really are going to break up, please give us one last Yurippe miniskirt panty shot.

Adding to >>752: Only the final show of the next tour will be in Osaka.

>>760 >>762 Stopーーーー! Please stopーーーーーーー!! (´；ω；｀)

Did they really say they’re releasing an eighth album? …By the way, even if they are, shouldn’t it be after the best-of tour ends?

They didn’t say they were releasing one. They only said that new songs are being made, though they couldn’t discuss the details.

I have a feeling they’ll announce the breakup at the New Year’s Eve concert…

By then, the company will probably already be bankrupt…

Stop. Don’t say such ominous things.

They mean the next new album, different from the best-of album.

Since it started with First, wouldn’t Last make more sense than Final at the end?

After working for ten years, are they listening to each person’s individual wishes? Azuki: a New Year’s Eve concert Furui: live houses in different cities on the tour Okamoto: putting picks in the merchandise

livescope 2010 Last love song the Best

They wouldn’t announce a breakup while the tenth-anniversary celebrations are in full swing… right…? A transfer would be okay, but absolutely don’t break up!! Yurippe~ Nana-san~ Okamocchi~ Mr. Furui~

>>792 Yurippe: Turn the entire town orange.

Could GARNET be sold off to somewhere?

The pick has finally become merchandise. That’s great, Mochi.

By the way, is the eighth album really happening? And a best-of too… If they’re simply taking a period of rest, that’s fine, but a breakup would be too painful. Are they transferring from GIZA to somewhere else…?

When did they mention the best-of and the album? Was it after I left?

>>792 Yurippe: Don’t break up. I hope that’s what she wants…

>>798 Won’t everyone except Azuki move behind the scenes at Being? Azuki will take a journey alone.

>>799 You didn’t hear about it? Really?

If they break up, whose fan should I become?

Sorry, the album thing was supposed to be a secret mentioned only in Fukuoka. I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything.

It’s awful that I may never see AZUKI again. There’s no point in being alive.

The shortest gap between album releases so far was one year and one month. The eighth album should come out smoothly by the end of next year. They’re not going to break up.

Yurippe (Yuri Nakamura, vocals): “GARNET CROW, and I, Yuri Nakamura, will continue singing in everyone’s hearts.”

【Important announcement】 I hope there won’t be anything like that.

But ten years is a pretty good milestone. It’s time.

>>808 It’s fine. GIZA won’t make an announcement.

So far, every album has had at least three singles (twice). So if they release something for the tenth anniversary over three consecutive months in summer, that wouldn’t be strange in terms of the usual rhythm. Therefore, they absolutely won’t break up.

>>800 Nakamura: “I want to hold a concert at a forum.”

Yurippe will probably return to domestic life.

>>811 That makes a lot of sense.

_, ,_ 　　　　　（`Д´ ∩　＜　No no 　　　　　⊂　　　（ 　　　　　　　ヽ∩　つ　　stomping around 　　　　　　　　　〃〃 No, no! (flailing and struggling)

>>811 Three consecutive months of releases in an era when CDs don’t sell… Dream on.

She’s not that kind of person. After all, she’s a woman who still lives with her parents at 32.

Old man: “I want to make a concept album consisting entirely of original songs.” In that case, it’s possible there wouldn’t be a single.

Since it’s the tenth anniversary, release ten versions over three consecutive months: limited editions A through I plus a regular edition.

<<801 Among Being artists, apart from B’z, Mai Kuraki, and (ZARD), GARNET is probably the only one that still sells, right!? Ueki has transferred, and Airi never really fulfilled her potential… Even if they move behind the scenes, it would probably be harder than it is now.

If they really announce a breakup, let’s all paste >>815 into this thread.

If it’s the members’ own choice, there’s nothing anyone can say. But if it’s about sales, there are plenty of artists and things that should be cut before GARNET.

No one can predict what human desire will do.

>>821 Before announcing a breakup, they’d probably dissolve the fan club first. I imagine a refund notice would be mailed out.

>>819 Like AKB48.

G-NET NEWS Details of next year’s best-of concert have been finalized. 〜last scope 2010〜 With only the words “Goodbye”…〜 With gratitude to all the fans who have supported us for ten years, we want to say goodbye to you. If I received an e-mail like that, I’d go insane.

Um… could someone please give us the setlist?

Maybe it’ll happen around Christmas…

>>822 Nana-sama’s wishes (AZUKI Nana, lyricist).

>>824 I see. The first fan site and GANE★RADIO only just started recently too (´・ω・｀).

I returned safely from the Fukuoka concert.

last livescope 2010 ～A Brief Summer～

About six months after the breakup, they might release a box set containing GARNET CROW’s singles, albums, unreleased songs, and unreleased videos. In that case, it would make sense not to release the B-sides.

>>833 They’re not popular enough to release something on that scale yet.

>>817 So she lives with her parents…

You people—do you have the resolve to become Mathildas?

Nooo, the riverbank would be so cold.

For those who attended the Fukuoka concert, did Okamocchi (Hitoshi Okamoto) manage to throw his picks out? He wasn’t in good form at Yokohama and said he would practice.

livescope 2010 Final Destination

If the company had steady-selling artists like Mr. Children, BUMP OF CHICKEN, and Ketsumeishi at Toy’s Factory, it wouldn’t go bankrupt.

>>826 It makes me want to ask, “Is this really true?” (a pun on ジャマイカ / Jamaica)… If GARNET broke up, I’d go insane too.

If GIZA is in trouble, our company should take over GARNET CROW (´ω`)y-~~~.

If GIZA is in trouble, let avex take them in like My Little Lover.

Ueki went to avex, but GANE (and most GIZA artists, when all is said and done) could probably only transfer to somewhere like NORTHERN or ZAIN. In other words, even if they transfer, only the place of activity changes; the content of their activities won’t change at all. The question is, if Nana-sama refuses to go to Tokyo, it wouldn’t be strange if it led to her leaving the group or to a breakup, orz.

>>843 Thanks for your hard work. It’s hardly changed from last week.

By the way, even if they really release two albums, who said they were breaking up? There should be a limit to this kind of false accusation.

What was Yurippe wearing today?

This direction makes me feel like crying, orz. But maybe the people involved will see this, and I’ll write it anyway to convince myself. They won’t break up, right? I’ve always been a fan, but I only completed my fan-club registration at the Nagoya concert a few days ago… so they absolutely won’t break up!! I’ll continue supporting them forever and ever————.

>>842 Is it Soft On Demand (SOD)?

>>845 Does Nana-sama have deep feelings for Kansai, or some reason she can’t leave? She’s someone who can travel all over the world, so why would Tokyo be such a big deal?

Could it be MUTEKI?

>>848 A Chinese-style qipao.

Please give us a Mobsters-style look.

838 The picks didn’t fly very far. Okamocchi said that one day he wants to hold a concert at Yahoo! JAPAN Dome. Today Nana-sama was called on quite a lot during the MC.

>>849 You just don’t want to waste the money, right? lol.

>>851 She’s ultimately just a lyricist. There’s no reason for her to come to Tokyo.

In the end, she’ll probably end up at Rockza, a strip theater…

What exactly was Yurippe wearing? Was it the same as in Nagoya and Yokohama?

>>859 It suited her.

What did they talk about during the MC?

This is the first time I’ve had to sit at Zepp. In a way, it’s quite fresh.

They have people who can handle lyrics, composition, and arranging all gathered together. They should just start their own independent label.

>>861 Yakiniku Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki The best-of tour Fish

>>864 That was Yokohama, wasn’t it?

Huh, fish? (´・ω・｀)

>>767 By cleavage, do you mean she was wearing something that revealing?

>>759 Same here (´｡･∀･) 人(･∀･｡`).

>>865 Yeah.

>>867 Apparently she wasn’t wearing a bra, so people in the very front might even have seen her areolas.

>>870 Not wearing a bra is impressive. What was Yurippe wearing?

There are too many tunnels on the Sanyo Shinkansen. >>838 He threw them pretty close to the audience. He did succeed in throwing them. Also, it seems Nana-sama threw something too.

If Cleavage Guy stays quiet for a week, I’ll put a cleavage photo from the fan magazine up for you.

Cleavage Guy seems capable of learning. He used to put a space before “sage,” but now he can type sage correctly.

Could it be because Nana always leaves the top buttons of her shirt undone?

In the momentary pause and buildup at the end of a song, Kurose’s expression looks like Miclas, the Ultraman monster.

>>688 Only Yurippe uses a wired microphone. Everyone else is wireless. It seems to have been arranged that way from the beginning.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Fukuoka concert. So Nana-sama threw something too… At Yokohama, it was Furui (Hirohito Furui) who threw one.

What exactly was Yurippe wearing? Can nobody here give me a proper answer?

Why doesn’t Yurippe wear miniskirts? Could she have a tattoo on her thigh?

>>879 You’re so noisy. It was a black outfit with a very low neckline.

>>880 Probably because she doesn’t want a pervert like you staring at her.

live scope final 2010 ～Leaving this world as if she had quietly completed her mission～

So the conclusion is that the album thing wasn’t real after all—is that right?

livescope 2010 ～Add azuki beans to aged mochi and you get zenzai～

>>881 Then it would be different from Nagoya and Yokohama, wouldn’t it? There’s no point in you saying that.

>>886 Why not ask on Mixi?

Thanks for the setlist. So they’re rotating the same songs. What was Yurippe’s hairstyle like?

>>887 I can’t access Mixi because nobody has invited me. What about Yurippe’s outfit?

>>884 The album thing is real. They said the best-of and another album will be released before the best-of tour ends.

>>889 It was a black outfit with a very low neckline. You could see all of her cleavage clearly. It was amazing~.

It was my first time today, and it was the best of the best. Although there were chairs, I only watched while sitting from the opening through the second song. At the very end, they repeated Spiral about four times.

I finally understood what it means when Kurose drums with an expression like he’s about to ejaculate.

>>890 So that means it might not be an eighth album, but a compilation of coupling tracks?

He has a face that slightly resembles actor Hiroshi Mikami.

The very last show is in Osaka.

Were there chairs in Fukuoka? Could it be because the tickets didn’t sell?

>>889 As expected, you’re isolated in real life too, aren’t you? lol.

>>894 That possibility can’t be ruled out. But in any case, they’re reportedly making new songs for an album, so it could be a format of several coupling tracks plus several new songs.

>>899 I see. Thanks. I got post 900 (´・ω・｀).

There wasn’t any atmosphere suggesting they were about to break up at all, though. Why is everyone so worried?

>>897 There were chairs. Someone collapsed at Yokohama, so it may have been an emergency measure.

>>902 What was Yurippe (Yuri Nakamura, vocals) wearing?

They put out chairs? I’m tempted to suspect it was to disguise the fact that the tickets didn’t sell very well.

It was the same low-exposure black outfit as in Nagoya and Yokohama. The neckline was not deeply cut at all. In the first place, Yurippe doesn’t even have cleavage… Oh, someone seems to have arrived. Excuse me…

Cleavage Guy’s persistence is almost moving. Twilight Valley.

Come to think of it, there were fewer people on the right today, so I thought that was the old man’s side. But it was Nana-san’s side (AZUKI Nana, lyricist), and I was happy.

Nana-sama’s upward glance while reading the score is so sexy!!

By the way, wasn’t Yurippe flat-chested in the early days?

Why has everyone decided on their own that they’re going to break up? This is a tenth-anniversary year worth celebrating. Do you really think they’d break up and leave us with sad memories? What do you think Yurippe and Mochi (Hitoshi Okamoto) did all those promotional activities for? More importantly, how were Yurippe and Nana today? Did Yurippe completely ignore Nana and act as if she didn’t exist like before? I’d like to hear what the MC felt like too.

>>909 Not only in the early days—she’s still rather modest… Oh, it seems someone has come.

>>909 Current Yurippe is version 2.03.

Were the seats at the 2009 ZARD memorial concert at Dojima River Forum folding chairs or something? Or were they like ordinary concert-hall seats? For example, like the seats at Festival Hall.

The fake-cleavage disguise incident was truly shocking…

Yurippe is sexier from the waist down than in the chest. Cleavage Guy doesn’t understand that.

Have Yurippe and Nana-san made up?

I’m not trying to defend idiot Cleavage Guy, but Yurippe is quite busty in GARNET TIME #34. That Yurippe doesn’t feel like the usual Yurippe.

>>911 You’re funny. Like a detective, lol.

They’re magical breasts that grow and shrink.

>>917 Does Cleavage Guy spend his days and nights active just to verify whether that’s true?

Since the Osaka two-night run is where the setlist seems likely to change, the 23rd should be my victory. Those people on the 22nd deserve what they get, lol. I hope that’s how it plays out.

>>921 It’ll be Mochi time from beginning to end, and the only song Yurippe sings will be Mysterious Eyes, lol!!!!

Nana-san spoke normally, and she and Yurippe seemed to get along well.

>>920 No, Cleavage Guy is probably just a breast fetishist. He might appear in other threads too, lol. Yurippe’s breasts are ultra-ancient artifacts (OOPARTS).

>>924 That’s frightening in its own way, lol.

Huh, unless I dreamed it, didn’t they make a big announcement that there would be a surprise at the opening Osaka show? Yurippe.

One piece of evidence for a breakup has disappeared! > At Grand Cube It’s booked solid through October 2023, when reservations become available. In other words, “the gap between this tour and the best-of tour is too short” can’t be used as evidence of a breakup. It’s hard to imagine that they decided two years ago to break up and still reserved Grand Cube. And the fact that “the final day is in Osaka” has likewise been shown not to be evidence. 1/31: Kakushio Mako φ ★[] 2009/10/17 (Sat) 22:41:05 ID:??? ★ A shortage of large venues: Are “Osaka shows” disappearing? (The following is an abridged translation of the report.) Large-scale pop and opera concerts in Osaka are gradually decreasing. Some large venues are closed for renovations, filling the remaining venues’ reservation calendars, and some production companies are therefore leaving Osaka out of their tours. The Osaka Koseinenkin Hall will be put out to tender on the 15th, and industry insiders worry that the result will determine whether its capacity can be maintained: “Osaka shows may decrease sharply in the future.” The only venues in Osaka Prefecture capable of accommodating the roughly 1,800-plus seats required for large tours are Grand Cube Osaka (2,754 seats), Festival Hall (2,700), Umeda Arts Theater (1,905), and Koseinenkin Hall (2,400). Festival Hall has been closed for renovation since December 2008 (expected to reopen at the same scale in 2013), while Koseinenkin Hall will be sold next April as part of the reorganization of national pension and welfare facilities. Grand Cube is therefore booked through October 2023, and inquiries about openings at Umeda Arts Theater have surged; the trend of “avoiding Osaka” is spreading. Regarding the survival of Koseinenkin Hall, Osaka City has created an exceptional urban plan requiring the winning bidder to maintain the venue’s function. However, the plan specifies only “1,000 seats or more,” so it is unknown whether it can approach the pre-sale capacity of 2,400.

Are the legs of folding chairs and fixed seats like those in an ordinary concert hall— for example, Festival Hall seats—at the same height?

My first post. I went to the Fukuoka show and had an amazing time. STAY really is a masterpiece. By the way, the talk about a hiatus has me worried. Who was it that went on hiatus recently? Is dB still active? Even Miss Komatsu has gradually faded away… Is there some kind of final threshold for single sales? I’d like to know how Miss Komatsu’s sales changed.

>>922 Is everyone looking unusually thin at this point…? All the members are.

Has the old man in STAY gotten thinner too?

That’s just aging.

>>932 The old man in STAY really has gotten thinner. The hardship of this period is showing. Okamocchi has gotten thinner lately too.

Okamocchi looks so worn out because Yurippe drained too much semen from him.

I wanted to cheer for GANE from nearby, so I thought I’d choose a university in the Kansai area if I went to college…

>>930 Komatsu is probably around 3,000 copies.

I’m planning to attend the Osaka show on March 27, but I’m worried it might conflict with something else.

For reference: Miho Komatsu Release eighth album → best-of for tenth anniversary → gradually fade away.

>>936 Going to a lousy university just for that will make finding a job difficult, so forget it, lol. If it were a famous private or national/public university, it would be different.

>>939 GARNET CROW＼(^o^)／ is finished.

Were there chairs at the Fukuoka concert? If Osaka has them too, that would be great…

Takei: Best-of released 2008.2.6 → gradually fade away.

Well…

How is Mai Kuraki doing now? She released albums in all kinds of versions—CD, MD, LD, and so on… Does that count as success?

If there are chairs, the time between the doors opening and the show starting will be much easier. I forgot my top three favorite Nana-san album tracks (my “bust three”). Is “百年の孤独” one of them?

Maybe it’s simply because the whole music industry is currently releasing lots of best-of albums. That’s what I think. Even with so many fans here, please don’t be silent, lovin’ you♪

What the heck is “bust three”? lol.

Because it’s the tenth anniversary, they work hard on concerts and CDs. ↓ Pretend it’s a period of dormancy and don’t announce a breakup. ↓ Fans: “Not yet?” Official: “Not yet…” (In reality, activities have already stopped.)

All right, it’s about time I masturbated to Nana-sama and went to sleep…

Did they put out chairs because someone felt unwell before? Do you think Osaka will have chairs too?

I can’t make sense of the upcoming schedule no matter how I think about it. Does the best-of tour end too early? What will happen with next year’s Detective Conan movie theme song? If the best-of album is released before the tour ends, wouldn’t the movie theme song be wasted? Could the best-of album be released in the second half of next year? And what is the other next album they mentioned? Are they releasing two albums like B’z, one of main tracks and one of B-sides? If it’s an eighth original album, isn’t that far too soon?

>>919 It’s a hybrid format you can enjoy no matter which direction it develops. I understand.

>>921 I heard that the 22nd show will let us see a GARNET CROW we’ve never seen before. Yurippe also said on the radio that people might be dissatisfied with the show on the 22nd… or something like that. Furui (Hirohito Furui) apparently also said something like, “Because you absolutely have to see this!!” That’s what Yurippe said!! The Okamocchi segment also seems to be different on the 22nd and 23rd.

>>952 Has it already been decided that it’s the Detective Conan movie theme song?

Since yesterday, Yurippe’s “こんなにそばに居るのに” has been stuck in my head… Yurippe, please cover it~.

>>951 That alone probably wouldn’t be enough reason to put out chairs, would it? When I think of Fukuoka, I wonder if it was because there weren’t many people… Standing is tiring, so chairs would be better. I hope Sapporo has chairs too~.

>>951 There should basically be chairs at the other venues. If Osaka is the size of Hatch, though, there might not be any chairs.

>>954 Yurippe has really become a thoroughly commercialized, unpleasant woman. Is she planning to become an executive someday?

>>955 It hasn’t been decided yet, but if it isn’t GANE next year, there won’t be another chance.

Is Nana-san a director at a Being-affiliated company? That’s how the old man in the front row explained it. Anyway, Nana-san has an amazing figure. A white designer shirt with combat boots. Her encore outfit—every outfit was so cool. Her legs were slim, and her posture was beautiful. I heard she went to the Fukuoka Art Museum. Apparently she hadn’t been to Fukuoka privately either. She hadn’t planned to speak, but she moved the floor microphone she had avoided and started talking. So cute. Chicken-bone soup? Cartilage bento? Mr. Furui also spoke more than before. I like Okamoto-san’s acoustic guitar and his folk-guitar arrangements. The electric guitar is good too, but I still want to hear something like “君ん家.” Yurippe’s nail art was fashionable. I don’t know how she plays the piano with those, but it was beautiful.

Regarding the 2009 ZARD memorial concert, what did people who saw it live think? When sitting in the chairs, how did your sightline relate to the height of the stage? Was the stage higher than your line of sight? Or was it roughly the same height?

>>961 > Was Nana-san > a Being-affiliated executive? Where did I hear that claim? What’s the actual situation? If it were Nana-sama, it wouldn’t be surprising even if that were true, lol.

>>961 Yurippe has finally started doing nail art too. She’s becoming more and more feminine. She got her ears pierced at the Twilight live too, didn’t she? As for the executive, I remember hearing that it was the old man. If Nana were an executive, I feel like the staff would be worked to death, lol.

I like the harmony parts in GARNET CROW songs. For example, “ON THE WAY” and “Holding you,and swinging.”

I really hope they add harmonies to next year’s best-of tour.

>>966 There was someone who looked like Mr. Furui’s younger brother at the first concert, wasn’t there?

I graduated from the garbage-tier Kwansei Gakuin University, but finding a job was still fine. It depends on the person. Just get some qualifications while you’re there. Even I was fine, so don’t worry—though for some reason I’m in Yokohama now.

>>967 He really might have looked a little like the old man. Where did that person go? I actually liked his harmonies quite a lot. He also played the improvisation in Spiral very well.

>>965 For harmonies, I like “flying.” Even the purely instrumental version sounds good. >>969 I wonder how David and the others are doing now. They were better than Kurose.

Zepp Fukuoka setlist As far as I remember… 百年の孤独 もう一度笑って フライング 水のない晴れた海へ Rhythm 夢みたあとで 僕らだけの未来 Argentina 涙のイエスタデー 二人のロケット Mysterious Eyes (Okamoto version) 今宵エデンの片隅で スパイラル They performed nine of the new album’s twelve songs, excluding Elysium, 夢のひとつ, and 恋のあいまに. The live performance was fantastic. The vocalist in particular was overwhelmingly good; volume, power, tone—nothing was lacking. It felt like the most perfect performance.

I don’t want to listen to “水のない晴れた海へ” again for a while. The lighting was beautiful, though.

Regarding the setlist, Yurippe said it would include songs from both the old and new material, but it wasn’t exactly something worth emphasizing.

What did they talk about in the Fukuoka MC?

Did the old man still say things like “genki yoku” as usual?

>>973 I thought so too, lol.

No one has mentioned Yurippe’s hairstyle yet. Was her hair down like at Yokohama, or was it the usual ponytail? 　　　 .'⌒⌒◎ 　　　（从 从 || 　　　（・ω･ 从

Hey, hurry up and make the next thread, you bastard!

>>978 I don’t like your attitude, so I’m not making one.

Kurose is really unpopular, lol. Expressions like “about to ejaculate” and “looks like Miclas.” What happened to Ponta?

>>978 Make it yourself, baldy.

>>971 There was also Nora.

http://anchorage.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1255524285/

>>928 Are Dojima and Namba Hatch very small?

>>973 That was about the best-of tour.

>>983 Don’t give it such a lousy title.

>>984 Very small.

After 1000, the perverts should move over to the GARNET board.

Next thread: GARNET CROW part.220 http://anchorage.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1255912351/

Bury the thread, bury the thread.

Even if they break up, I have no regrets. Thank you for ten years.

Wor~ld~ is~ said~ to~ turn~ aro~und~ like~ this~♪

Okamocchi’s second album was selling used for 980 yen, so I bought it.

Why hasn’t Mochi’s third album come out yet aaaaaah!

Bury.

996.

997.

If this is >>1000, GARNET CROW will retire at next year’s concert.
