>2 Nice one!

Nice job starting the thread! Nana-san’s top three are Reniso, Hyaku-nen, and Hello Sadness. Mochi’s top three are Reniso, Hana Saki, and Koi no Aima ni. All the members seemed to get along so well that I was constantly moe-ing. Nana-sama wandering around on a bicycle before the show was adorable.

>2 A乙UKI 七

>4 >The adorable Nana-sama wandering around on a bicycle before the show. She even rode a bicycle all the way around Kyushuｗ

AZUKI-san’s light-blue Pinarello is cute.

Two Chinese boys who had just arrived in Japan with their parents were arrested for bag-snatching. http://tsushima.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/news/1255921463/

>4, 6, 7 Is that really true?

>7 She rides something that cool?

Yesterday was one problem after another. The show was delayed because of some kind of equipment trouble. Did some idiot staff member forget to turn on Furui-san’s synth? or Was it because the settings were wrong even though the first song was “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku”? It was apparently one of those, and Furui-san had a grumpy look on his face at the start.

The support drummer needs to read the room. He’s too eager to stand out. It’s annoying. The drums were way too loud, especially on “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku.”

Was focusing only on the countdown live the right call? I’m still going to Namba Hatch to buy merch, though.

>11 The organ at Yokohama wasn’t powered on eitherｗｗｗ

>10 She appears on the two “Futatsu no Wa” programs edited by Niro Koizumi. Even though Trek is the sponsor. That’s AZUKI-san for youｗ

Honestly, even if they don’t go as far as breaking up, I feel like a hiatus would be a good chance for them to rest.

Since next year’s tour is already set, I guess they’re not changing the drummer〜

Rather than the drummer, they need to do something about the idiot staff. Yokohama: Forgot to turn on the organ. Fukuoka: Forgot to turn on the synth. The stage equipment malfunction caused a major delay to the start time. Seems like some idiot staff member turned the power off after the sound checkｗ

The drummer’s performance in Fukuoka: Right from the opening song, “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku,” he drummed with enough force to ruin the melodies of the other instruments. Then during the encore, he cut off Yurippe’s MC and started counting in the next song. What a natural leader. Still, there were a lot of people at yesterday’s show who were seeing GARNET live for the first time.

If they’re just going to fade out like Miho Komatsu and keep us hanging half-alive, I wish they’d make a clean breakup announcement.

>19 Sorry, yesterday was my first time attending. I was one of the people who raised their hand on Furui’s side.

The PA is responsible for the drums.

What was Yurippe’s hairstyle like yesterday? 　　　 .'⌒⌒◎ 　　　（从 从 || 　　　（・ω･ 从

Yesterday Yurippe was desperately singing louder to try to drown out the drums. I wish she’d had a few more parts during the “Doing all right” singalong section...

They should surround Kurose with concrete soundproofing.

>21 Kansai is far away, so it takes time and money, huh? I thought it was a good thing that there were so many newcomers even ten years in. >22 Yeah, exactly. Sorry for making fun of that guy when he was working so hard. The one who deserves the blame is the old sound engineer who made the drums the villain! >23 Yurippe’s legs were great. >24 Maybe they kept it shorter because there were probably lots of first-timers at the regional shows?

The 1000th poster in the previous thread can go die.

Well, it was just the level of “If this is post 1000, Yurippe will marry me!”ｗ It’s not going to come true, so don’t worry about itｗ Nana-sama likes “Rainy Soul,” huh? I see.

It was funny how Nana-sama kept giving answers that completely dashed Yurippe’s expectations. At the end, when she was asked about “花は咲いて〜,” she even got asked, “Do you like this song?”

Next year is their 10th anniversary, so there’ll definitely be a fan fest, I bet. Of course, Yurippe’s present will end up in the hands of lucky old me.

My new FC membership number is somewhere around 45,000.

Do rental stores only carry the standard edition?

The drums at Yokohama weren’t loud enough to be an issue. The staff keep screwing up way too much at the actual shows. Their staff blog too... At least Nana-san was doing well.

Could someone who went to the live show tell me: did everyone clap during “Doing all right”?

>21 Same here, same here. I ended up shouting, “Nice to meet you!”ｗ I was prepared for the drums to be noisy, but they were even louder than I imagined... Why did they have to stand out so much? I felt like saying, “I came here to hear Gane perform.”

After she accidentally said “Punk section!!,” her comment, “That slipped out (blush),” was so cute〜 Yurippe.

The drums, man... Just when I thought it was over, they dragged it out with “deke-deke-den-den-deeeen” and kept stretching it out... Nobody wanted that kind of arrangement.

>37 > deke-deke-den-den-deeeen That made me crack up for some reasonｗｗｗ

Is Kurose-san the most senior one at the agency, I wonder〜?(・ω・｀;)

Kurose’s drumming technique deserves praise. But the volume is another matter. The arrangement went on too long, so I couldn’t figure out when I was supposed to clap.

We don’t need Frog(´∀｀) Seriously. If it weren’t for Frog, I would’ve gone to the live show.

You can’t adjust the drum volume, idiot? Just put up a partition or isolate him normally.

Do they play the drums without adjusting them when they do shows in domes too?

But at “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” in Fukuoka yesterday, the drums were so loud I couldn’t hear Furui-san or Nana-sama playing at all(´・ω・｀)ｼｮﾎﾞｰﾝ I didn’t come to hear Kurose play drumsｗ

The quickest way might be to send GIZA the logs from the few threads since the live shows started...

>42 You can adjust the volume picked up by the mics. The volume changes depending on how hard you hit too.

It’s obvious at a glance that Kurose is pounding the drums with all his strength. It’s also obvious at a glance that Kurose is getting bashed in the Gane thread.

Kurose has that “Listen to my drums! They’re electrifying, right? I’m going all out!” vibe. Doesn’t he realize that Gane’s drums are support, not the main act?

>47 Who told you to make a joke that goodｗｗｗ

For Gane, if anything, the only support members they need are an orchestra. Support guitar: don’t need one. Support drums: don’t need one. Support manipulator: don’t need one.

Because of Kurose’s drums, for a moment I couldn’t even tell what the first song was until I heard the chorus. Sorry, I’m a newbie＞＜

>51 During the A and B melodies, please enjoy only Kurose Kaichi’s drumming.

Here’s a souvenir: ttp://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org279728.jpg

Kurose doesn’t understand GARNET CROW itself.

Yesterday, at every MC, the members kept using words like “ephemeral” and “poignant.” Maybe they were indirectly criticizing Kurose. ① We, GARNET CROW, make songs around the concept of ephemerality and poignancy. ② The single released just a few days ago, “花は咲いて ただ揺れて,” also expresses ephemerality and poignancy, but we’ve packed more new experiments into this one song than ever before, so we hope you can feel another side of the new GARNET CROW.

You can’t tell how annoying Kurose is just by watching the DVD. You have to go to a live show. The Ninnaji show was good, though. GARNET is actually at its best with programmed backing tracks.

>50 We need guitar. We need drums too, but if it’s Kurose, programmed drums would be better. I want backing vocals too...

Hey, do the audience members clap during “Doing”? (・∀・)

How do they choose the support members? If Gane chooses them themselves, does that mean they think Kurose is good?

>34 They do clap! Furui, Santos, and Yurippe give the signal. It happened at Hitomi and Yokohama too.

More importantly, Saegusa’s breakup has been officially decided.

>58 Clap your hands, then there’s a singalong. From the center to the left: Furui-san’s team was told, “Sing ‘Doing all right’ energetically and loudly, just like on the CD.” From the center to the right: Nana-sama’s team was told, “Sing ‘Doing all right’ after Furui-san’s team.” I don’t think Nana-sama gave them any adviceｗ At the end, everyone sings “Doing all right” together.

>60 Thanks!(・∀・) >61 Seriously?

追加 >62 Thanks for the details!

Were folding chairs set up in Nagoya and Yokohama?

>60 Santos.

>65 It was standing-room only in Yokohama. Saegusa, seriously? Then GIZA will be left with maybe just GARNET and Airi Uchino. Even Naifu looks doomed at this rate...

Sorry, typo. I like soccer too, so it comes up in my predictive-text candidates...

>63 I heard it from an acquaintance who works in music. Apparently there are other contracts being terminated too.

Goodbye, Komatsu.

Is it doa?

Quotes from yesterday’s Fukuoka show: Okamocchi: “Someday I want to do a show at Yahoo! Dome.” Yurippe: “The girls in Fukuoka are stylish and cute, aren’t they? They’re probably the best I’ve seen so far.” Furui-san: “I can’t rank songs I arranged myself.” Nana: “Huh? Tonkotsu? Isn’t that just boiling a whole pig’s bones in a pot?”

GARNET looks like they’ll be fine at least until around next spring.

The album made the top ten, so I don’t think there’s a problem.

>72 As expected, it’d be better if AZUKI just kept quiet...

>63 >69 Whoa—Saegusa, it’s true! Final live information: ■U-ka saegusa IN db FINAL LIVE TOUR 2010 ●Date: 2010/1/15 (Fri) [Doors / Start: 18:30 / 19:00] Venue: Tokyo, LIQUIDROOM ebisu ●Date: 2010/1/23 (Sat) [Doors / Start: 17:30 / 18:00] Venue: Nagoya, Electric Lady Land ●Date: 2010/1/29 (Fri) [Doors / Start: 18:30 / 19:00] Venue: Osaka, BIG CAT

>76 Apparently Saegusa FC members got an email about it.

>76 Ignoring the countryside again, huh... The answer that stumped the members most yesterday was probably, “Please do it again tomorrow too!”

Let’s hire a good drummer from a band so unsuccessful they couldn’t make a living without helping Gane, to replace Saegusa.

>76 It’s written on this blog: http://aska07.blog44.fc2.com/blog-entry-676.html

So are Kurumatani and Oyabu-san joining Gane as support membersｗ

Saying things like “I’ll kill dogs,” “I kill dogs,” “I eat dogs,” “I eat dogs,” it sounds kind of dangerous＾＾; Saying things like “I’ll kill dogs,” “I kill dogs,” “I eat dogs,” “I eat dogs,” it sounds kind of dangerous＾＾;

>81 That would be the best. Kurumatani would even be good enough as a full memberｗ

Actually, I want Oyabu-san to handle Gane’s behind-the-scenes work. Especially checking Furui-san’s equipment. Yokohama: The organ wasn’t powered on. Fukuoka: The synth wasn’t powered on. This is where Furui-san needs to publicly execute and lecture the backstage staffｗ

Has Being ever officially announced a breakup before? Maybe General Nagato’s influence is starting to decline. Did he hand things over to Thomas? Nagato is GARNET CROW’s executive producer, after all.

More and more of GIZA’s full strength is being concentrated on Gane.

I went to my first GARNET live yesterday too, and that old drummer was really loud. I wanted to focus on Nana-san’s keyboard. Didn’t he even drown out Nakamura-san’s MC? Everything else was awesome, though.

Like I said, the PA is the reason for the drum problem. Live houses like that are basically geared toward rock acts, so they often set things up a little explosively loud.

>86 I’m pretty sure FIELD OF VIEW officially announced their breakup and then held a breakup concert too. I remember they broke up after their December 2002 show at Akasaka BLITZ.

I accidentally sent that before I was finished... Also, the sound that reaches the venue and what the performers themselves hear are completely different. You know those speakers pointed toward the performers, called monitors? They perform while using those as a reference, and the PA controls that balance too. The performers probably don’t even realize that the audience thinks it sounds loud. The guitar and keys that got buried probably sounded perfectly adequate to the performers through the monitors. As for drowning out the MC, bash them however you likeｗ

You can’t expect them to hold back the drums in a live house. You guys are way too stupid.

The drums were loud in the Towa Bare hall too, so this has nothing to do with live housesｗ

>94 Thanks. I checked the wiki. I thought it was Columbia that had broken up. But this really feels like a major emergency for Being.

Right after the live started, the old guy wasn’t playing and was deep in conversation with the backstage staff, so I wondered what he was doing. Then I realized the power wasn’t on. That’s awfulｗ

The drums weren’t that noticeable at the Yokohama show. I mean, my ears are getting numb to the explosive volume〜ｗ

I’m not a fan at all, but I feel sorry for Saegusa...

The weird volume isn’t just a problem this time, and it isn’t only the drums. I’ve half given up and decided to enjoy the show anyway. There are probably people who’ve had enough of the live shows, but I hope they don’t quit being fans.

So by shutting off the keyboard and synth sounds, the drums stand out even more. It’s all part of Kurose’s conspiracy.

I wonder what they’ll do on the first day in Osaka. I’m getting excited. I only have a ticket for the second day, though.

Some disgusting crap has been postedｗｗｗ Saegusa fired → Airi Uchino fired → GARNET CROW disbands. GIZA’s end is hereーーーーーー！！！

Compared to the PA at Kuraki’s live shows, Gane’s is actually pretty comfortable. The anti-Kurose people are annoying.

>115 That’s completely insaneｗ

There are a lot of farewell shows for fired acts. This year’s GIZA-related farewell shows: Uehara, Tanba, OOM, Kitahara. Next year: Saegusa, Airi Uchino, GARNET CROW. GIZA has basically announced its bankruptcy at the end of March. I’m in favor of GIZA going under, so whatever.

Saegusa and Yurippe were close, right? They even composed together. Apparently Saegusa respected Yurippe so much that she came to the live shows. She respected Yurippe so much that her singing style got weird for a while, though. Yurippe must be sad too.

Kurose-san can just stick to playing the hi-hat...ｗ The PA and drum monitoring are one thing, but do something about the electric piano sound out frontｗ Piano tones get buried easily, so adjust them when they overlap with the other instruments. Honestly, if it’s going to be like this, let me do it instead... I’ve only got one year of band experience, but if you give me the live arrangement sheets ahead of time, I’ll adjust things properly for each song...

I think Sparkling Point broke up last year. Next is U-ka Saegusa, so does that mean Airi Uchino is in danger too... I liked U-ka Saegusa, though〜(´；ω；｀) Is this a rejuvenation strategy?

>72 Sorryｗ Nana-san isn’t a B cup, right?ｗ

Whoa, don’t say any more than that.

Major announcement at the countdown live! Maybe it’ll be a final live tour.

Nana-san isn’t a B cup. She’s a D.

Indeed, Nana-sama is a D.

An AZUKI solo, of all things!

ID:ySeEU+Wb0 So it really was a Saegusa fan who kept stirring things up in this thread. Do it in the Saegusa thread instead. The people there will probably tolerate you for a while with bemused sympathy.

Sounds like Saegusa’s dismissal has been decided. She watched the stage happily from the audience at GARNET’s live show, so maybe she really is a fan.

>72 Yeah, a friend of mine said the women in Fukuoka are stylish and gorgeous too... Are there really fans like that in Gane’s crowd? And the men are probably Akiba types, right? I don’t really get it.

GARNET CROW is in danger too. Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is someone else’s problem. From next year, I’m going to focus on Arashi.

Let me play around with >72 for a bit. Yurippe: “Someday I want to do a show at Yahoo! Dome.” Furui-san: “The girls in Fukuoka are stylish and cute, aren’t they? They’re the best I’ve seen so far.” Nana: “I can’t rank songs I wrote the lyrics for myself.” Okamocchi: “Huh? Tonkotsu? Isn’t that just throwing a whole pig’s bones in a pot and boiling them?”

>144 Do whatever you want. You don’t have to report every little thing to us. If they fire even Gane after this, won’t there be nobody left?

If the company can’t survive the financial closing, it’ll disappear.

Apparently Thomas said on the Being thread that Northern doesn’t need any artists other than Kuraki, so moving to Northern is looking difficult too.

>119 I thought Saegusa was just being respectful because Yurippe was her senior, but maybe she really does admire her. Kuraki, Saegusa, Ohno, and others have made lots of comments showing respect for Yurippe. Nana dotes on her too, so maybe she’s actually a good person in real life.

There are ethnic groups that eat dog meat. There’s nothing weird about it.

They’re spamming manuallyｗ How hilarious.

>148 Yumi Shizukusa, Azusa...

>154 If you use a script, you’re more likely to get “woof-woofed”ｗ

But a Lancia with a Pinarello is pure Italy worship. Skipping his post-meal nap would be unthinkable for AZUKI-san.

GARNET CROW’s breakup is confirmed too, obviously.

There’s a very good chance it’ll become Yuri & Mochi.

Gross.

They know they’re ending next year too, right?

I was surprised by how many people had come to the first Fukuoka show. Even though it was seven years ago, after seeing a live show like that, you just have to go, right? That’s what my mother and sister told me to write down. My sister also said to write down that she wanted a guitar solo from Okamocchi, not an electric-guitar one. My family has attended every Fukuoka show. Anyway, there were obviously three middle-school girls who had copied Yurippe’s hairstyle. “I knew I should’ve worn black.” “Yurippe wears black, right?” they said while fixing their own hair. “The frills on her skirt are so cool!” “Something flashed by her feet!” “Oh, we made eye contact!” “No way!” “Can she see us?” During the encore, Yurippe came out wearing a merch cap with her hair up, and the girls immediately copied her with ponytails of their own. Cute. “Is she worried about her jawline? She always leaves her hair down by her ears.” “Her face is so small, it doesn’t matter anyway.” They kept chatting away. The song was “日々のほとり.” “Azu-Azu (probably Nana-san) is such a grown-up woman, right?” “She’s so tall!” “But her face is childish!” “I can’t take it!” There were people in wheelchairs who had come to listen too. Why do you keep talking? This is a song you’re supposed to actually listen to! “How many hours does Yuricchi (probably Yurippe) spend doing her makeup?” Are middle-school girls respectable women too? “The audience is nothing but weak-looking men!” “Gross!” “Whatever!” Well, they weren’t wrong. “Isn’t that different from the outfit before?” “It’s the same, isn’t it?” “She really did change clothes. The previous one didn’t sparkle like that.” I did think Yurippe’s outfit before the encore was better too, though. “Which one would be scarier if she got angry?” “She’s serious, huh?” They treated my big sisters Yuri-sama and Nana-sama like ordinary friends. “Aren’t they frustratingly beautiful?” “Exactly!” Of course they are, you brats! “The key is so high!” “I can’t sing it!” “Did you practice yesterday?” “Did you come here yesterday too?” “We practiced, obviously!” “Nobody’s getting into it!” “We don’t know how to get hyped!” “Should we make fists?” “You two like rockets, right?” “We have to launch them!” Still, they really got into the final “Spiral.” “Are you coming again?” “I don’t know!” “We have to save money.” “Front-row seats, right?” “Yeah!” “Are you going home?” “By Shinkansen!” “Whoosh, we’ll be there in no time!” I was also in middle school when my mother dragged me to the show seven years ago. Apparently I used to ramble on like that too. I don’t remember, though. The only things I remember are Yurippe getting nervous and messing up the member introductions, my mother crying along with Yurippe, and singing “Yume Mita Atode,” I guess. Yesterday’s live was fun.

Yeah, exactly: announce the breakup at the countdown live, start the final tour in February, release a best-of, and GIZA will be gone by April!

There’s no way Gane, their biggest money-maker, is breaking up.

Who keeps steering every conversation toward a breakup? Kurose?

http://ccfa.info/cgi-bin/up/src/up1696.jpg

Biggest money-maker, my ass! GIZA is definitely going under. GARNET CROW is finally on the way out too.

>169 Was there really something wrong with the first live show?

>176 It’s not about how late I’m going. I’m planning on doing about 50 posts. Even if I get reported for trolling at this level, the volume and speed aren’t enough for it to pass moderation.

>180 Fifty... You’re almost there.

>181 I might get bored and stop before then, though. Then next time I’ll troll using a completely different method. That way, even if they report both incidents together, it violates the basic rule of “only pursue one troll per dedicated thread,” so it won’t pass moderation either.

I’ve been to several ZARD memorial shows, and when everyone says goodbye at the end, Kurose only shakes hands with Yurippe for some reason. Why is that?

What’s with that cowboyｗｗｗｗ

From B-ing’s perspective, the story is probably: Osaka held on for ten years but ultimately couldn’t make it. → Rock and pop acts move their base to Tokyo. → GIZA downsizes and shifts toward jazz. GARNET becomes Yuri & Mochi so they can operate more nimbly and still appear on TV. Nana moves behind the scenes as a lyricist. Furui becomes the sound producer for either Kuraki or ZARD, since Ohga can’t keep juggling both, and arranges for other artists. That’s the natural way to look at it, right?

Kuraki’s main guy is Black, right? On TV it’s Dimension. ZARD doesn’t have any live shows for the time being, and Ohga isn’t producing them either. Ohga can’t be that busy. I mean...

Who benefits?

>169 About “The frills on her skirt are so cool!”— wasn’t Yurippe wearing pants in Fukuoka?

GIZA is being shunned by the general public because of all the creepy otaku hanging around. Poor sales lead to firings, and GIZA is pulling out of the business.

How to stop GARNET CROW from breaking up: Buy at least five CDs and three FC memberships.

Maybe B-Gram will take in GARNET CROW. Izumi Sakai doted on Yurippe, after all.

Sakai-san is gone now, so they should go to ZAIN, where Ikeda-tan is.

What if they refuse...

I’ll allow it if she gets a new job as my wife.

GARNET CROW is seriously my favorite artist, so I want them to keep going forever!!!

The difference between selling and not selling is night and day. The national idol group Arashi really is incredible when you think about it.

Northern or B-Gram, I don’t care—just don’t go on hiatus!

Anything but a hiatus or breakup!! The thought of never hearing Yurippe’s singing again hurts so muchーーー

I misspoke. The national super idol group Arashi.

How about a petition to prevent the breakup and a relief fundraiser for GIZA?

Saegusa Yuka quitting music—this is her own decision, right?

Maybe it was pressure from Thomas (ry

Calm down, you guysｗｗ You’re taking this way too far by proceeding as if the breakup is a done dealｗ

Apparently Arashi’s FC membership numbers have passed 540,000. YOU＆J (NEWS, KAT-TUN, Kanjani8) combined: 560,000.

I went to my first live show the day before yesterday. My legs, back, and right arm hurt... And when I took a bath the day before yesterday, my leg cramped up.

>201 B-Gram. I wish they could’ve transferred there while Sakai-san was still alive.

Are Kurose, Arashi, Saegusa, and stuff the only things anyone talks about? Just when it seems like the topic has finally turned to GARNET, it’s breakup rumors or boobs again. This place is over in every sense of the word...

Either way, GIZA is going under, so it can’t be maintained. All we can do is pray that GARNET CROW doesn’t break up.

>217 It’s not over so much as it’s about to be over.

If Gane disappeared, what would I even live for?

I’m watching MFM, and there are so many places to get offｗｗｗｗ

It’s a neat ten-year milestone. GIZA is doing badly. GARNET CROW’s sales are slumping. Nothing good is happening.

They should just start their own label. Then they could produce themselves too.

>22 Flash back?

Sakai didn’t particularly dote on Yurippe, though. She said in a magazine that she accepted “Tomatteita Tokei〜” because the staff strongly recommended it. The person Sakai doted on was Ohno. If she’d really doted on Yurippe, she would’ve asked her to provide a lot more songs.

I mistyped that. >221

>218 >You say GIZA is going under no matter what. Who do you think you are? A GIZA creditor?

>225 Come to think of it, in the interview after that ZARD memorial live footage people were talking about the other day, Kuraki talked about her personal memories with Sakai, while Yurippe said: (´･ω･)「Recording was a very CROW memory (ｒｙ」 She only talked about music, too. I’m guessing they weren’t actually that close.

GIZA’s old headquarters will become designer apartments and rental offices.

Actually, maybe the person Sakai doted on was neither Yurippe nor Ohno... Maybe it was Mochi. (´･ω･) (−ω−) 「......」

More than a breakup, the company’s survival itself is probably in danger. They need to pull out of the unprofitable divisions quickly and concentrate their strength where sales are good. But this industry fades so quickly that not raising charismatic young talent is fatal. I think Yurippe is working hard at promotion. Even though she doesn’t make much.

The bread factory is being remodeled into a jazz hag’s place. Apparently some GIZA employees have quit too.

>231 Nakamura’s annual income is 12 million yen.

GIZA’s music business is massively in the red. Rental income is more appealing.

>234 Not a single thing you’ve written so far is something only an insider could know. Did >227 make you feel good?

I wonder if the person in charge of the staff blog has already been fired too.

>233 If that’s take-home pay, it might be a lot, but if that’s annual income, it’s not that different from what we make. ttp://mem.ecall.co.jp/azaz/shiryou6.htm For reference.

I’d be happier with a B-side best-of than a regular best-of...

The B’z thread is the only one casually talking about tour tickets and albums. It’s like another world. With the music industry as it is now, there’s no way Gane would get cut just because of its sales. It’s hard enough just debuting an act and building name recognition. The old guy can earn his salary through arranging, Nakamura has royalties, and Nana is rich enough to have appeared on the wealthy-person rankings. As long as they don’t get too demanding, they should be able to keep going.

If they do break up, I definitely want them to release a DVD of the fifth-anniversary live. And if next year’s live is going to be the last one, I want them to play hit after hit. I want to hear “Yuudachi no Niwa” live!! More importantly, if they break up because of the company’s circumstances, the members will be the ones I feel sorry for, even more than the fans.

http://mixi.jp/show_photo.pl?id=24661718 I’m a boob-job fetishist. Nice to meet you.

If they’re going to break up because GIZA goes bankrupt, at least release everything that could be merchandised first: the Premium Live DVD, a GARNET TIME DVD, a JGM compilation, a PV collection, a 10th-anniversary photobook, the Valentine’s live... Even made-to-order production or Amazon-only sales would be fine.

This is just my guess, but maybe after the GARNET 10th anniversary, Furui-san and Okamocchi will participate in ZARD’s 20th anniversary. They might take a short break in the meantime, or move somewhere affiliated with B-ing if GIZA is really in trouble. They’re recruiting for the fan club too, so I don’t think they’ll break up. Yurippe might participate in ZARD as well.

Please cover “こんなにそばに居るのに.”

Sorry for nitpicking everyone, but this time too they’re trying to make fans buy three copies: first press A, first press B, and the standard edition... I don’t know the actual sales, but even after going this far, there’s this empty feeling of “Is this really the end?” It’s true that no sales means no profit, so if we knew the break-even point, it’d probably be terrifying.

We should’ve realized it last year, when accessories costing tens of thousands of yen were mixed in with the live merch.

If they’re going to overcharge us anyway, they should release a photobook.

If Yurippe is the one overcharging me, I want her to gouge me even harder.

All right. I’ll buy some merch in Osaka and take it home.

>249 You’re a model fan. I’m the kind of guy who only bought a pickｗ

It was my first time going to a live show, and it was way better than I expected. When I saw Yurippe on some DVD, I felt like her voice wasn’t really coming out, but “Hello Sadness” pulled me in completely. The drummer was way too eager to stand out, though. What was with that hatｗ His obnoxiousness during the first song, “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku,” really pissed me off. I got used to the rest of it, more or less. Ahh, I can’t wait to go to the next Fukuoka show.

If GARNET CROW breaks up despite sales at this level, then the company is the problem. Their albums sell better than Do As Infinity, after all. The version of “Tomatteita Tokei ga Ima Ugokidashita” that she sang as a backing vocalist at ZARD’s first-anniversary memorial live was high quality, so I think she could make it anywhere as a vocalist.

Well, you know... There are way too many Winny types around now, so releasing multiple versions as a premium for physical products can’t really be helped. You guys download or rent anything except the artists you really, really love too, right? We’re just strangling each other.

>252 The other side can count one single as an entire album, though〜

Quality has nothing to do with it.

Unless it’s the members’ strong personal wish, Gane breaking up would basically mean GIZA is being dismantled, wouldn’t it? I don’t know the details of GIZA’s situation, but Gane is definitely their best-selling act right now. If Saegusa IN db is breaking up, then the acts selling less than them—everyone except Gane and Airi Uchino—are probably in danger of disappearing too. I don’t know how well Airi is selling at GIZA or what her position is, and it’s off topic, so I won’t go into it. But there’s no way they’re going to treat Gane lightly right now. If their activities are still being disrupted under those circumstances, then the company really is the cause.

Has even Gane finally had to start thinking about “supporting them by buying”...

Well, basically... Kansai people with type AB blood are impossible to deal with.

It’s probably just GARNET CROW, Airi, and doa that are safe. doa seems safe because Yoshimoto is with them.

GARNET is lame. Don’t put on lives that nobody can get into.

Full-width.

I think it’s about time they reconsidered this Spiral hell. Even if they do it, “Can you keep going〜?” “Are you okay for the last train〜?” “This really is the last one.” Three times is the absolute limit, I’d say.

There are quite a lot of GIZA female artists who work hard but barely sell anything. They could probably do pretty well if they moved their base to Tokyo.

Honestly, there are more fans in Kanto anyway.

But Kanto doesn’t have any World Heritage sites where you can hold a live show.

They don’t even appear on TV, and only pop up on local radio around release time. Of course things that could sell won’t sell that way. What a waste. That’s what my grandma is always saying.

>265 We don’t need that lame Kansai-style jealousy.

Mocchi said: “Someday I want to do a live show at Yahoo! Dome.” Yurippe: “Do your best...” Furui-san: “It’d be nice if we could someday.” Nana-sama: (Couldn’t make out what she said in a quiet voice.)

It’s not like they chose Osaka as their base because they particularly wanted to.

>267 “Lame” is Kansai dialect in this context... You must have some twisted history behind you.

The Saegusa-sama breakup is just a rumor, right!

>270 Detective Conan, nice workｗｗ

>271 It’s not a rumor.

>271 No, it’s not a rumor〜 I’m voting for GARNET—Yuri and Mochi—to move to Tokyo.

GARNET CROW Yumi Shizukusa Airi Uchino U-ka Saegusa IN db Saeka Uura doa Shikapoo If you ranked them by sales, from highest to lowest...?

When people are this worried about the company they belong to...

>274 Do we even need Mochi anymoreｗ

>277 Yurippe alone would make me a little nervous, so use the ELT strategy and bring Mochi along too... Mochi can handle the arrangements...

The old guy and Yurippe are enough. Though I love Nana too.

I don’t want it unless they’re all together (つω;)

If it’s a “developmental dissolution,” I’m fine with it. Yuri and Mochi appearing on shows like Hey Hey Hey, with Mochi getting relentlessly roasted, would be pretty funny too.

What is this turn of events?

Playing breakup pretend.

Gane sells well??? It sells less than Tackey, the worst-selling Johnny’s act, and TOKIO.

>284 It sells better than Do As and globe.

They lose in attendanceｗ I don’t know why you compared them to those acts in the first placeｗ

If you don’t sell, you’re garbage!

Yurippe is probably designing Ten-chan, the 10th-anniversary character, right now, and you’re talking about breaking up, you piece of shit?

GARNET CROW itself is in the red too, right? The four members’ contract fees, staff, production costs... Even if a 1,000-yen single sells 10,000 copies, that doesn’t all turn straight into profit.

There are ringtone sales and digital downloads too, though. These days it’s all systems for charging you two or three times for the same song.

8th album: “Victory〜もう一度10derness〜”

Next year’s live merch: ・A music box inlaid with garnets ・A stuffed crow ・Ten bean-filled manju

Moving from GIZA to a new Tokyo label is highly likely.

8th album: “LOST〜What was Hacchan, anyway?〜”

I stopped by to see how Fortune King was doing and went, “Huh? Huh?” It had gotten incredibly long. Do you need to buy a ticket to get into a live show? Would it still be possible to get in now... for the one on the 22nd?

◇Oricon Weekly Album Chart◇ : 51　1,924　Nobuyuki Tsujii 52　1,916　GReeeeN 53　1,905　GARNET CROW 54　1,881　Mai & Mao Asada 55　1,833　Crystal Kay :

>295 I think the 22nd and 23rd are already impossible. There were same-day tickets for Fukuoka, though.

More importantly, I’m curious about Mai and Mao Asada.

I’m moving to an apartment near Yurippe’s family home. I’ll probably get to see Yurippe a ton, so I don’t care if they break up.

Joining db.

Apparently Airi Uchino is releasing a 36-track best-of too...

The Saegusa breakup is real. Sorry for doubting it. I love the footage from Saegusa-sama’s farewell live(´；ω；｀)

>301 Seriously? Is Airi celebrating her tenth anniversary this year?

Yeah, it’s her tenth anniversary. Apparently her 10th-anniversary live tour is set too. She’s just like GARNET CROW!!!

>298 Apparently it includes the songs used for figure skating, plus a DVD.

>281 Mochi getting picked on probably only works for some Gane otaku. Nana-sama’s airheaded way of talking would probably appeal to ordinary people more widelyｗ Yurippe would be left on tenterhooks every time, thoughｗ

Anyone who wants to talk about breakups, go to another thread. Just seeing ordinary people’s opinions puts me in a sentimental mood. Off topic. Whenever you start thinking “what if,” there’s “Wasurezaki.”

Then let’s talk about dismantling Gane.

>308 What do the numbers in brackets mean?

The fact that Gane’s cumulative sales are about the same as Arashi’s first-week sales.

U-ka Saegusa broke up＼(^o^)／ Is GARNET CROW going to be okay too??

What fans can do right now is: buy every CD and DVD, go to live shows, buy merch, join the fan club, go to in-store events, register on GIZA’s mobile site and set Gane as your My Artist, buy songs and PVs on Musing or iTS, visit Gane’s official site every day, increase the play counts of Gane videos on video sites, answer the CD surveys, subscribe to paid MFM, sing Gane songs at karaoke, send surveys to magazines that feature Gane, request Gane songs... That’s about it, I guess. I’m already doing about half of that... I can’t support them any more than this. If people recognize that Gane can make money, the odds of a transfer when something happens will go up. Johnny’s fans are diligent about doing this kind of thing, which is why Johnny’s stays so strong...

Arashi only sells because they gathered a bunch of handsome guys and promote them nonstop on TV.

Even if something happens, GARNET should stay with Being. It’s a tough job market these days. I’m starting to worry about Saegusa finding work.

>316 Saegusa is going to work at the bread factory, so don’t worryーー

Do you think Saegusa wore a ponytail because Yurippe did?

That’s rude. She puts real effort into the songs too. That’s why she appeals to the general public and her FC passed 540,000.

Musicians don’t have many options for changing careers. I wonder what the people who quit are doing now.

>320 There’s no way they could handle being salaried workers or office ladies at some ordinary company that works you to death.

Saegusa’s breakup even made Yahoo!’s front page.

My wishes: ・Release ten single CDs over the year for the 10th anniversary. ・Release a piano CD of GARNET songs. ・Publish a book about their ten-year history. ・Replace the drummer. ・Do loads of in-store lives, mainly in Kansai. ・It’s about time they got regular tie-ins outside of anime. ・Release albums like crazy.

>323 I agree with everything except the first and last points. I’d like the in-store lives to be in Kanto, though.

GARNET CROW best-of performed by Furui-san ﾏﾀﾞｧ?(・∀・ )っ/凵⌒☆ﾁﾝﾁﾝ

I’m going to buy tons of live merch!! I’m going to go karaoke like crazy too!! Maybe I’ll subscribe to MFM for the whole year as well...

What I bought at the Fukuoka show, my first live: Guitar pick Towel Official program MFM GARNET 10th-anniversary edition I thought there wouldn’t be any hats, but Yurippe said to wear a hat to next year’s tour, so I’ve decided to buy one after all—through mail order.

Utoku-san faded out of the spotlight, but I wonder what she’s doing now.

GIZA has begun.

GARNET CROW IN db GARNET CROW is currently in the middle of a live tour, but starting with next year’s tour, they’ll set out on a new path as GARNET CROW IN db. Furui: “We really do want to play ourselves instead of hiring support members, right?” Okamocchi: “I heard the drums up close, and they were really loud.” Yurippe: “During the encore MC in Fukuoka, that crazy drummer started counting in the middle of it without permission.” Nana-sama: “For the first song at the Fukuoka show, ‘Hyaku-nen no Kodoku,’ she had a face like the fans didn’t know the song. It looked like she only realized it was ‘Hyaku-nen no Kodoku’ once the chorus arrived.” The new members joining are: Guitar: Yuichiro Iwai Manipulator: Taku Oyabu Drums: Keisuke Kurumatani Please continue to support GARNET CROW. ﾏﾀﾞｧ?(・∀・ )っ/凵⌒☆ﾁﾝﾁﾝ It’s about time they used their own people. We don’t need Frog.

Switch the drummer to Kurumatani and whistle in support.

>320 Sounds good. Kurumatani used to be a manager, so that works too.

Drummer: Kurose → I want them to replace him with Kurumatani. A hired support member shouldn’t stand out more than the band membersｗ What was that ten-gallon hat, like something from Yellow Hat?

Apparently Kurumatani is an executive at Being. There’s no way mere GARNET CROW members could casually call him up. Maybe that’s also why Saegusa is breaking up. He probably won’t play drums anymoreｗ He’ll do desk work for 20 million yen a yearｗｗｗ

Could they release a PV collection?

Is it okay to send live-show complaints by ordinary email? I felt really weird about those drums. I couldn’t hear Furui-san or Nana-sama playing at all. Apparently he hasn’t been invited on a B’z tour since 2001. Maybe the two B’z guys thought he was out of form too.

Is it true Yurippe wore a long skirt at the Yokohama show?

>335 The PV collection goes on sale October 28! The first shipment has already sold out.

Nobody asked about an Arashi PV collectionｗ

Come to think of it, they didn’t play “Kaze to RAINBOW” on this tour. I wanted to see Nana-sama getting all fired up.

http://namidame.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/poverty/1255867851/ 2009/10/18 (Sun) 21:10:51 ID:4NGj/5SKP On Friday, an 83-year-old father flew into a rage after his son refused to stop playing the drums when told to, and shot at him. The son suffered a head injury, and police are investigating the wound. According to police, the son is in his fifties, and the bullet only grazed his head, so his life is not in danger. Immediately afterward, he fled the house and asked for help. http://www.excite.co.jp/News/odd/E1255827987412.html

I wasn’t planning to buy any merch, but I ended up spending over 15,000 yen including MFM...

I want piano sheet music for Gane songs. I want to try playing them.

Furui-san’s parts look difficult.

>334 Kurumatani often appears as a support member at live events featuring Saasa.

I wonder if next year’s live tour will have screens.

Rewatching the “LOCKON” DVD now, Kurose’s drums are so loudｗ

There will be screens—huge ones. I want Kurumatani as the drummer. We don’t need Kurose.

>345 For GARNET CROW, there’s Kamei-sensei, the GIZA Creative instructor they brought in for the Ninnaji show.

>338 Get lost, scum.

>338 Not “shiné”—die!

>346 I predict next year’s best-of live tour will have the full package(´･ω･`)

Kamei-sensei’s nimble fills deserve more praise. I think he’d fit GARNET CROW. It’d be rude to just email them, “Get rid of Kurose.” It’d be better to write something like, “I think Kamei-sensei’s drums fit GARNET CROW’s sound,” in an email or survey.

I’m going to email them asking, “Could you turn the drums down a little?”

Correction: “I think Kamei-sensei’s drums fit GARNET CROW’s sound.” Honestly, I think Kamei is great.

I think next year’s best-of tour will have the full package: “Dancing” and “Holy Grand” “Doing all right” and “Namida no Yesterday” as a two-song singalong section.

Kamei-san is “Futari no Rocket,” right?

That drummer was playing with a look like he’d forgotten who the star was. So damn noisy. That’s what I thought at Yokohama, but I guess I wasn’t the only one. I’m not criticizing him as a person, but I don’t think he belongs at a GARNET live.

The drummer on the best-of tour will probably be Kurose too. The current tour will end and rehearsals will start right away, so bringing in a new drummer seems difficult.

When will applications open for fan-club tickets to the year-end countdown live and next year’s best-of tour?

>360 Please wait a little longer. I wonder if the DVDs will be a four-disc set. The Dawn live tour, the best-of live tour... The countdown live will probably be shelved just like the Premium Live.

Kuraki’s version has started selling on Musing!

>356 For a second I thought they were going to dance to “Dancing” during “聖地.” Would they dance while listening to “Once you die, you don’t have to live anymore〜♪”? That’d be too muchｗｗ

At this rate, Kurose will end up being the drummer at GARNET CROW’s breakup live, whenever that is. Personally, I think Kamei-sensei would be fine.

>356 I got it wrong. It was “Mr. Holiday.”

GARNET CROW is moving to a Tokyo label.

>366 Not Northern.

>354 Add a request to make the hat a little smaller too.

Can’t we answer the survey handed out at the live by email? I absolutely want to complain about the drums. I couldn’t hear the keyboards at all. It was heartbreaking...

2010.03.10 GARNET CROW - 起源(ぜろ) 【Track list】 1. 証 2. encounter 3. 迎え来る茜色の春に 〜Album ver.〜 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�U 12. Have a look for...

>334 I heard AZUKI is an executive too. She’s older, you know. Important, you know.

“le 5 eme Anniversaire L’Histoire de 2000 a 2005” Is this worth buying?

The drummer Kurose is unpopular with B’z fans.

As for the drummer, I liked that Black guy’s feel more (I don’t know his name...) Even though he made little mistakes here and there, that was part of the charm.

The Ninnaji DVD is easier to listen to because Kurose isn’t on itｗ

>375 Thanks to Kamei-sensei!

At Ninnaji, I’m curious about Ohga’s right hand when the sound cuts out during “pray.”

>374 Kurose Kaichi’s very existence is a mistake.

>374 David-san. Powerful behind-the-beat drumming.

Nobody seems sad that Saegusa retired. When you think about it, Gane at least still has fans...

Saegusa fans are getting really annoying. Enough already!

>334 The executive thing is probably a rumor. I heard she used to be a talent and wrote lyrics at an audition or something. Though her family seems loaded, so nothing would surprise me.

I’m not a Saegusa fanｗ GIZA is just Gane to me. I don’t really understand the rest, which is why it scares me.

If Gane breaks up, what will you listen to instead?

“Instead” is a weird way to put it. I recommend Arashi and Hey! Say! JUMP!

>373 He didn’t play drums for B’z, though.

>384 I don’t have any favorite artists besides Gane...

>386 What are you talking about?

AZUKI-san is finally turning 40. She must have a lot to think about.

>384 Morning Musume, Shokotan, Airi.

Come to think of it, the vocalist of rumania montevideo (Mami Miyoshi?) played drums back in the day( ´∀｀)

>384 Tokyo Incidents, probably. Because the drummer is cool.

>384 Evanescence Keane Cocco Leeland

>384 MARIA, obviously! http://www.maria-6.com

>390 Gross.

moumoon is good.

>384 I don’t want them to break up.

Before Garnet, there was only Garnet.

Every once in a while, let’s remember “Namida no Yesterday,” the single version. They always sing the album version live.

Sachi Tainaka, Maaya Sakamoto, Mai Kuraki, PINC INC, Tommy february6.

The countdown to Gane’s breakup has begun too.

Toshiyu Muranaka said the 8th album will include an answer song to “nora.”

>384 the★tambourines 3rd: “真夜中気づいたfunny love” Lyrics: Ami Matsunaga / Composition: Makoto Miyoshi / Arrangement: Hiroto Furui

PINC INC broke up too.

ZARD is deadｗ

>404 Seriously?? I thought they were just on hiatus... Wasn’t it awfully soon for them to break up? Their albums were pretty good too. What a shame.

>387 My favorite artists are Airi, Gane, Takei, ZARD, Shizukusa, Takaoka, doa... They’re all Being acts, aren’t theyorz

>405 Only the vocalist is gone. The ZARD project itself is still continuing.

Is this a Being thread?

It’s probably about time for Yurippe and Mochi’s lovey-dovey rehearsal to start.

>406 Is PINC INC the second U-ka Saegusa? ・Dangerous Love ・I Want to Be Number One in Your Heart ・I Want to Be Hugged by You ・Punkish! ・I Hate Weekends ・Open My Heart Open Your Heart ・So faraway ・You Who Reached Out a Hand to Me, Who Had No Wings, Are Like a God ・When I Find a Shooting Star in the Sky ・I Want to Be Dyed in Your Colors Even More ・Smiles and Tearful Faces ・My Heart Won’t Betray Me ・I need you baby ・No Matter How Old I Get... ・I Want This to Be My First and Last Love

The acts that can survive on CD sales are the Johnny’s, Avex, and Toy’s Factory groups. Sony’s strong point is downloads. GIZA is weak at both sales and downloads.

>411 ・“You Who Reached Out a Hand to Me, Who Had No Wings, Are Like a God” What kind of religious title is thatｗ It has the same vibe as Saegusa’s “You Gave Wings to Me, Who Couldn’t Take Flight”ｗｗｗ

“I Want to Be Hugged by You” “I Want to Be Wrapped in Your Love and Hurt” They’re kind of similarｗ

>410 ( ^ω^)＜1:05 a.m.?

>396 I watched it on YouTube. I only liked “On the right.”

Looking at GIZA’s official site gives me a stomachache... Seriously...

What’s different between the Sports version of “Spiral” and the original? Someone who knows, please explain.

Yurippe is definitely a dead fish during sex, right?

>384 Now that ZARD and U-ka Saegusa IN db are gone... B’z, Kuraki, Airi, or DAIGO?

>418 The vocal take is different. The Sports version was newly recorded, with the slightly lower, more husky and powerful voice she’s been using lately. It feels more live than the single version, so I prefer this one.

>419 She might surprisingly moan in a beastly voice.

>417 Looks like they’re steadily moving their production base to Tokyo. Maybe they finally realized they can’t make a living in Osaka?

“Kokoro wa Uragiranai” “Kokoro wa Tomaranai” Yuka-san, Tsubaki-san, sorry for turning you into a joke m(_ _)m

>414 People often tell me I look vaguely like a slightly chubbier Yurippe(´・ω・｀)

A dead fish who transforms into Yurippe during sex would be wonderful too.

Imagining Yurippe’s low-register moans and high-register moans has gotten me hard・・・！！(;｀･ω･´)

I can’t go on the 23rd anymore...orz If I say I’m selling my ticket at the venue on the 22nd, would anyone buy it?

>425 >427 Combine Yoshimi Tendo with Yurippe and do “Yuriny” to reach a state of ecstasy.

Are there any sites compiling live-show reports?

>421 Seriously? I thought it had just been shortened(´；ω；｀)

Is the backing vocal on ZARD’s “Tomatteita Tokei ga Ima Ugokidashita” Nakamura?

(´･ω･)「Not Nakamura! Call me Yurippe!」

This may be rude, but I want to hear an AZUKI Nana lyric version of “graduation.”

>390 It turns out Furui-san arranged some of the early Morning Musume songs, like “I WISH” and “Manatsu no Kousen.” I only found out recently because the name was different. There are even songs he both composed and arranged. They’re pretty cool.

>435 Really!? (ﾟωﾟ;)

>434 Yeah, I’d like to hear it too. I’ve thought that for a while.

>436 “Manatsu no Kousen” (arranged by Furui-san) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ_pGc4bWnQ NIGHT OF TOKYO CITY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LKM8SIM5CM ↑This is the one he composed and arranged.

>438 Thanks!

Sorry for the double post. The arrangement is cool（・∀・）

>440 Furui-san played on it too.

The recent flow makes me think a few people have teamed up to troll.

>438 Ohh. How did you know it was the old-guy arrangement / composing and arranging? It said: “Manatsu no Kousen.” Lyrics and composition: Tsunku / arrangement: Shin Kono No way, Shin Kono!?

Enough already.

>443 I saw his name while looking at Morning Musume’s yourpedia and was surprised. I was wondering whether it was okay to bring up Morning Musume here, then forgot about it.

>445 I just checked, and Furui-san’s name really is there. Thanks.

But Furui-san stopped arranging for Morning Musume around 2002. Other Being people handle it now.

>432 (Sorry to Sakai-san, but) for a while I listened to nothing but “Glorious Mind (Instrumental).” The song and Yurippe’s backing vocals fit together incredibly well( ・∀・)

Us, a fleeting moment racing through eternity.

Bury it forever.

Soul of dawn.

(´･ω･)「You know... there’s something I’ve never been able to say. Actually... I’ve liked Okamocchi for a long time.」

Mochi is ecstaticｗ

Is this a Maison Ikkoku situation or whatｗｗｗ

Gane is the only, truly the only, major artist based in Osaka. That’s really precious, you know.

With musical taste that listens to Gane-kuso, you’ll never be popularｗｗｗ You guys are grossｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>447 People like Ozawa-san, right? So Furui-san really did it too.

With musical taste that listens to Gane-kuso, you’ll never be popularｗｗｗ You guys are grossｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

So the old man arranged Morning Musume singles. I didn’t know because it isn’t on Wikipedia. They sold over 400,000 copies, way more than Ganeｗ

This came up in this thread ages ago, though.

>459 Which Morning Musume song?

>461 Songs like “Memory 青春の光,” for example.

>384 KOKIA, Angela Aki, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, Remioromen...

So the old man arranged Morning Musume too? I guess I’ll have to buy the best-of album againｗ

On the thread momentum ranking: 8th ↓-1 GARNET CROW part.220 464 233 Gane making it into 8th place is pretty amazing.

I want GARNET CROW to keep making music until they reach retirement age.

AZUKI-san looks like she might kill herself, though.

>467 Are you projecting yourself onto her?

>465 When I looked the other day, it was in 4th place. Gane is mainstream on 2ch.

With musical taste that listens to Gane-kuso, you’ll never be popularｗｗｗ You guys are grossｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

I think you, listening to Arashi, are the gross one who’s just a looks-only fan. If you want to worship Arashi that badly, go to the Arashi thread.

>459 Do arrangers get royalties too?

I want to be there for AZUKI-san’s feelings.

>472 http://www.jasrac.or.jp/profile/covenant/pdf/2.pdf I guess it depends on the contract. More importantly, google it yourself, dumbass!

>472 Probably part of the Being group’s payroll, right? Furui-san is a salaried employee, after all.

I want to go buy some merch at Namba Hatch... Is it better to go before or after the show?

(株)GARNET CROW Founder: YURI NAKAMURA

Furui-san drives a Porsche, AZUKI-san drives a Lancia, Mochi rides an old mountain bikeｗ Yurippe is mine, Wonderful.

Are the PVs included on the 5th-anniversary DVD only these? 夢みたあとで Timeless sleep 忘れ咲き 君という光

Okamocchi only plays guitar on the Morning Musume songs arranged by Furui-san. Memory 青春の光 真夏の光線

Why don’t they sell the Dyson vacuum Yurippe got as a present on Garnet Shopping? I’d buy about five of them.

By the way, can Yurippe ride a bicycle? I want to go cycling, but I’m worried. I can ride one just fine, though.

>476 Before the show is better, but you’ll need to secure a locker. If they set out chairs like at the Fukuoka show, you can put it between the chairs, though.

Someone’s been spreading nonsensical fake information this whole time.

I drank Pepsi AZUKI. Got hard.

>486 http://getnews.jp/img/archives/dsc_0019.jpg

So Furui-san arranged “Manatsu no Kousen.” No wonder it’s the kind of sound I likeｗ

>488 Just admit you love Morning Musume!

I like the early songs, but I don’t know almost any of the recent ones.

Someone’s been spreading nonsensical fake information this whole time.

It’s annoying when people call it fake without even looking into it themselves. Go die.

Who cares about that bottom-tier crap that is off-topic Morning Musume anyway?

I don’t know if it’s crap, but it is off-topicｗ

I hear Yurippe is going to do a backflip on the 22nd.

>476 I got an email saying sales start at 3:30 p.m.

Apparently there’ll be chairs tomorrow.

I got the email too(´∀｀) I’m going to skip school and go buy some. What posters are there for buying over 3,000 yen of CDs? The STAY album and “Kimi to Iu Hikari”? Like at the FC event?

>2 > 【GARNET CROW 2010 Best Live Tour (tentative)】 Does this mean it’s not a normal tour showcasing an album, but a best-of setlist? I haven’t known anything about them since the hiatus, so if that’s the case, I’d definitely like to go.

>455 That’s definitely true. In the best-of booklet, Yurippe is riding a Nankai trainｗ There’s no other artist like Gane.

Hyahyaaa

Anyway, the only GIZA acts who look likely to move to a Tokyo label are Gane and Shikapuu. They could also disband if a member quits. Kusonai confirmed dead! Into the trash.

I’m in the low 400s, but how far toward the front do you think I can get?

The 400th row.

Fukuoka live show. Went there. It was great. Yurippe and Nana-san. Beautiful... I kept finding myself staring. Since there were no cameras, I could watch from one row closer. So close! So close! There were plenty of spectators besides the cute girls in cute clothes. Definitely. The PA was amateurish. They were too nervous, so Yurippe looked at the prompter way too much. But her voice. The vocals were amazing. During the call-and-response with the venue in the second half, she even seemed completely relaxed. But, speaking as a representative of the Fukuoka audience, I have one thing to say. Can you even match Yurippe’s key!? That might be easy in Osaka, but are you really telling us people who’ve been waiting five years to keep up? Still, it was fun. Honestly, the lyrics in the recent songs don’t stick in my ears, and the electric guitar is too strong. There were too many similar guitar arrangements, so I stopped listening. Songs like “Yume Hanabi” and “Rairaiya?” don’t feel very true to life. But now I’ve dug out my CDs and started listening again for the first time in three years. They really are good. Songs about everyday life hit the spot perfectly. Zepp, Mielparque, Zepp—if I go three times, does that count as perfect attendance for Fukuoka? Do they sell fewer tickets than Hiroshima? What a waste, people of Fukuoka. I forced myself to create a business trip to Sendai and decided to go on November 7. Sincerely.

G might be finished. Who knows.

Is that some kind of copypasta?

Ah... there was a main thread? I’ve been checking the one with “Art...” added to the title this whole time...

>503 You can make it to the front row.

>471 You posted in the wrong thread!

They’re going to do a part swap tomorrow, right? I’ve been writing it on the concert surveys for the past few years, so there’s no mistake.

>511 If they were going to do it, they would’ve started with the first show of the tour...

She’ll sing “nora” wearing cat ears tomorrow.

She’ll sing “Ashita no Kioku” tomorrow.

She’ll sing “ALONE” tomorrow.

I wonder if they can make it through the settlement.

Apparently all four of them are going to perform in bikinis from start to finish tomorrow. My grandma said it in her sleep, so it must be true.

This thread is way too shitty...

For detailed information on GARNET CROW, wait for Saida, who’ll appear tomorrow.

I want to shove a carrot into Yurippe’s pussy.

Saida, huh. I don’t even want to see him.

I want to shove a boiled egg into Yurippe’s pussy.

>522 I’m the one assigned to eat that boiled egg. Nice to meet you.

Saida, who snapped back at fans on Mixiｗ

The fans who make Saida-san snap are the ones at fault.

>499 Why do they hold so many live shows in such a short span around late autumn and early spring?

Surround Cowboy Kurose with a concrete wall tomorrow!

>525 Agreed. I don’t think Saida-san did anything wrong, though.

>523 It’s been warmed to just the right temperature inside Yurippe’s pussy, so it’ll be delicious.

Whatever, but Saida doesn’t need to come to Gane’s live shows.

>526 1. The release of “stay,” essential to this year’s Live Scope, was delayed. 2. Their debut anniversary is at the end of March, so they want to do the best-of tour and album all at once and hope for a synergistic effect. 3. Live-show tickets make more money.

>522 Hikaru Kodama got it in “Night Shift Ward” too.

I want to shove a rhinoceros beetle larva into Yurippe’s pussy(*´･ω･`*)

I want Nana-sama to lick my dick. I want to teach her the pleasure of being a woman.

Yurippe’s lewd pussy needs to be plugged with my dick, right（´・ω・｀）

Did that dog bastard mistake this for the Otsuka threadｗ

He was taken away by an animal-rights group.

Written GARNET, read Otsuka.

I feel like I’m going insane imagining Yurippe taking another man’s penis.

I’d like to try being AZUKI’s boyfriend.

You guys are even more off-topic than the Morning Musume discussion.

Hey, stop the dirty jokes! They’ll be sad if they see this.

Yurippe would be happy, though, wouldn’t she?

I hope Sendai has chairs too.

There’s no way Yurippe would be happy. Okamocchi might be, though.

Sendai has straw mats.

Sendai has chairs kneaded with beef tongue.

I want to go to Hokkaido. There’ll definitely be around 100 people in the audience. In a way, it sounds like it’ll be the most intense live show yet.

You’re underestimating Hokkaido way too much. There’ll be 1,000 bears alone.

How are they going to line everyone up at the other venues? The Fukuoka fans diligently checked each other’s numbersｗ

>549 Seriously? Hokkaido is hardcore.

>547 That’ll make it salty(´･ω･｀)

I guess Sendai and Hokkaido will have chairs too. The other venues will be standing-room only.

All-standing was a failure.

GIZA and failure go hand in hand.

Well, at the Fukuoka show, even having chairs on the first floor was pointless. Everyone stood up around the third song.

They didn’t put in chairs so people could sit, thoughｗ It’s because there weren’t many people.

If there hadn’t been chairs, I was in the 260s, so I could’ve gotten farther toward the front.

YURI’s boobs are wide open.

When I cum inside Yurippe, she squeezes tight around me.

Chairs are better. Then you don’t have to worry about the people beside or in front of you when clapping.

To everyone attending a live show from here on: Beware Kurose’s Hyper Drum Time. I recommend going to the bathroom (number two) beforehand, because the drum sound reverberates so much. I suddenly needed to take a dump halfway through, but I managed to hold it until after the showｗ

>562 So the people onstage have been wanting to take a dump the whole time, huh?

Kurose: “I’m rooting for all you constipated people.”

“Dreamed it〜 after” eeeeeeeeee uuuuuuuuuu!!!! That kind of thing, right?

ID:ZIgSAW+a0 ID:9Qu5Asr/O Idiots.

Yurippe: “My gut’s the worst〜 just getting all steamed〜♪”

>554 Failure is what makes GARNET CROW stronger (said with a straight face).

They should just set up a toilet seat onstage.

Rubbed and rubbed, but Yuri’s breasts never got any bigger.

This is Mochi’s responsibility.

I wonder if they could negotiate like they did for the Ninnaji show and release future live shows on Blu-ray at the same time〜 It’s so sad that such wonderful live shows can only be seen through the video and audio on a DVD.

Has anyone received their ticket for the Sendai show?

http://uploader.skr.jp/src/up1062.jpg

>572 If they called for support on Mixi like before, maybe people would agree.

I asked about tomorrow’s live show, and they said there’ll be chairs. In a way, with everyone’s place fixed, wouldn’t it be harder to move toward the front?

>507 ttp://www.itmedia.co.jp/news/articles/0508/12/news018.html

So tomorrow’s Hatch has chairs? What about the day after tomorrow? Those tickets should be sold out too, right?

The results of “the two-person rehearsal” are finally about to be revealed.

>579 I’m guessing Yurippe has been practicing guitar, with Mochi teaching her nonstop. Wouldn’t they be doing a two-person sing-and-play corner?

>580 If that’s what they’re doing, I want to see a Mochi dance corner choreographed for Yurippe’s sing-and-play.

>580 Seriously? If so, Yurippe’s going to have a tough time. And Nana’s going to get violently jealous（´・ω・｀）

>580 I thought of that too. I want to hear Yurippe play guitar（ ・∀・） I once saw footage of Yurippe touching a guitar, sometime or other. Mochi was beside her teaching her.

>583 What footage was that? I really want to see it（；´Д｀）

>583 What was it again? I think I have it recorded, but it might’ve been a behind-the-scenes moment from filming a “MUGEN” PV or something...

>585 MUGEN, huh... Doesn’t look like it’s available on YouTube... Thanks.

>583 Imagining that scene makes me feel all warm and fuzzyｗ I’d love to see it.

Wasn’t AZUKI-san the one being taught guitar by Okamoto?

>588 That was Nana-san during the Ninnaji rehearsal. The footage of Yurippe playing guitar was from a completely different time.

My memory’s fuzzy, but was it the “Futari no Rocket” PV, maybe... The one where Yurippe and Nana are fooling around in the studio. I think Yurippe briefly had a guitar there too... Anyway, it’s nice and peaceful at night with fewer perverts around(´ω｀)

>589 Oh, I see. Thanks.

Is Gane-kuso breaking up tooｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ The female vocalist here sings with a voice like her tongue doesn’t even moveｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Sing in Japanese alreadyｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Could you stop coming here with the vibe from the Saegusa thread?

Mochi, you bastard. If you teach Yurippe guitar, you’ll—（ｳﾜﾅﾆｦｽﾙﾔﾒﾛ

This doesn’t have much to do with GARNET CROW, but... I’m a virgin（´・ω・｀）

It’s Namba Hatch starting today〜 To sum it up: Today: chairs and a new setlist. Tomorrow: no chairs and the usual setlist. Just speculation. Reports appreciated.

It’s been live shows nonstop lately, but are they going to release footage of them on DVD?

>597 I think “Yoake no Soul” and the best live will be released. The countdown show might get shelved.

>584 It was during the PV filming for “Kaze to RAINBOW,” and during the filming of the “Maboroshi” PV. In both cases, Yurippe plucked the strings with her right hand, while Mochi stood right beside her and pressed the chords with his left hand. From the outside, they just looked like a coupleｗ I think it was in the fan-club newsletter too.

I have a picture of Yurippe playing guitar. 600 get.

>600 That was during the “Kaze to RAINBOW” PV shoot.

>599 Thanks.

But wasn’t Being supposed to avoid promotions that make people imagine romantic relationships between the members? Have they abolished that too?

Best-of album: First press A CD + DVD (countdown live digest) First press B CD + DVD (PV collection) First press C CD + DVD (photo album of Yurippe and Mochi’s memories) Which one would you buy?

B

If I’m answering seriously, maybe C.

Is Gane-kuso breaking up tooｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ The female vocalist here sings with a voice like her tongue doesn’t moveｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Sing in Japanese alreadyｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Is the vocalist here Chinese?ＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷ

Does she do pillow jobs?ＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷ

That’s an insane number of w’s.

At least they aren’t hearts.

What time should I leave the house? I’m getting pumped.

>612 Same here( ´∀｀)人(´∀｀ )

I’m going to the live show tomorrow!

Arashi freak, go die.

Even though they aren’t exactly a popular artist...ｗ

>603 They’re practically flaunting it in our facesｗ Maybe it’s okay now because the top changed from the Nagato era? They’re not old-school idols; there’s no way an anti-dating rule is going to work on adults over 30.

I wanted to go to the live show...

The best-tour information disappearing from the news section: >09.10.21 - Live “GARNET CROW livescope 2009: Notice of merchandise sales hours for the Osaka show” >09.10.20 - Live “GARNET CROW Happy 10th Anniversary livescope 2010〜THE BEST TOUR〜” >09.10.21 - G-NET “NEWS updated” The tour has already been announced on flyers handed out at live venues and on the flyer inside STAY. So why hasn’t it been announced officially yet?

Maybe it was just an update mistakeｗ

The Namba Hatch official site says the first floor is standing-room only, though?

Today: winners. Tomorrow: losers.

I wonder if they’ll play any old songs. I like the recent ones too, but I also like the simple feel of the old songs.

Was the fact that they weren’t selling CDs just my imagination

(-ω)ﾉ(ω-`) Yes (-ω-)ﾉ(･ω･) Fallin’ Life

Heading home noworz Bye-bye.

I might cry from emotion.

Everyone around Namba Station looks like a GARNET fan. Let’s give this phenomenon a name!

The Fan Phenomenon.

>599 Yurippe cut a cake with AZUKI using the same knife, and she took a photo pressed up against a male radio MC. Is she a cheater?

The Asperatus Phenomenon.

I passed through Namba today. If only I’d hung around until this time(・ω・｀)

TAK KOSHI

Saegusa is getting married?

Is Saida around there somewhere? For anything about GARNET CROW’s future or GIZA, ask Saidaｗ

The layout of the Namba Hatch building is so confusing. I finally made it to the front of the venue, but couldn’t figure out where they were selling merchorz

Try not to get stung by a bee.

>633 Heyｗｗｗ youｗｗｗ

Finding even a little resonance with someone, somehow finding a way to connect, barely. Everyone walks on their own through this city, each carrying a different dream, quietly searching for another self they can show everything to. If we can’t stay here forever, we might as well set out on a journey. But someday we’ll come back again, because we can’t bring ourselves to hate this MY LONELY TOWN. Touch the heart that’s wandering.

It’ll soon be two months since the staff blog stopped updating.

There’s another stage in front of the stage!!

What are they planning to do?

They built a catwalk because the tickets wouldn’t sellｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

GARNET CROW, with practically zero name recognition (lol) hahaｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(^_^)bｗｗｗ

The International Forum? They’re getting ambitious againｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Aren’t they embarrassedｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(^_^)

An empty-seated live showｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ “Yume Mita Ato de”ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Don’t sing with something in your mouthｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(^_^) Yuka is divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ GaneCraw is “Natsu no Maboroshi”ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Yuka’s “Choo Choo Love” is divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Gane? “Hibi no Hotori”ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

The d-best live is divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ For some reason, the entire front row is womenｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(￣ε￣)♪ｗｗｗｗ Haa〜n, divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ If Nakamura sang rap too, she’d be divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Something weird has infested the thread.

Haa〜nｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Your heart made my chest go kyun-kyun, divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(o^^o)♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Gane’s “Kyou no Kimi to Ashita wo Matsu” is divine too♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>650 Any recommendations from Gane?ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ I only own their first best-of album, divine♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(o^^o)ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

You’re annoying.

Oh my, I listened to “Kaze to RAINBOW” on YouTube and it’s divine♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(o^×^o)♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

There’s another stage too.

Is there a screen? Will short sleeves be okay?

Oh my, isn’t “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” divine?ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ(o^×^o)ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ But I couldn’t stand being lonely for a hundred years♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

“Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” is divine, rightｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ “Spiral” is divine tooｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Is one troll posting from both a phone and a PC?

I want to spread Yurippe’s menstrual blood on toast instead of butter and eat it.

I’m going to post without reading the flow. I only just bought the new album, but this one feels especially good.

Given the current flow, I think that’s a good post.

“Yume no Hitotsu” is divineｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ I want to meet Yurippeｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Yurippe from Dai Busterｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ is divine♪ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

I’m going to Osaka tomorrow. Any recommended sightseeing spots?

>664 If you’re near Namba Hatch, Dotonbori is divine♪ＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷＷｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>664 How about looking at the site below↓? It includes places right near Namba Hatch too. ttp://gryphin.seesaa.net/ GARNET CROW filming-location tour log

>666 This is incredible...

Amazing. How much free time do you have...

What? “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” Isn’t it New York?

It’s not just a matter of visiting the filming locations; they even analyze the filming techniques and stuff. Pretty interesting.

The lineup on M Station’s 2002 Super Live was simple and nice. I like how clean it was.

Was it completely empty?

Maybe it was bone-dry.

Yurippe’s vagina is slippery inside.

No, that’s where Grimer comes in.

Single-digit number for the Sendai show！！！

Oh.

>676 (・∀・) NICE!!

I want to search through the women’s restroom trash can after Yurippe has used it.

Is it true that Furui-san was involved in arranging for Morning Musume?

Still waiting for Yurippe to publicly wet herself during the live show? (･∀･ )っ／凵 ⌒☆ﾁﾝﾁﾝ

>680 The people spreading fake information are annoying, but so are the people who get baited into discussing it without checking.

Yurippe is a tampon girl.

Otaku ≒ virgin ≒ pervert. The three sacred treasures supporting GARNET.

Scat fetishists are gross.

It just ended. “Elysium” was amazing! “Yume Hanabi” was amazing! The unexpected “U” was amazing! “Endless Desire” was amazing! “Spiral”—no repeat! The unexpected “Whiteout” was amazing!

>686 I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

What’s “Wai-au”?

>634 Details, please.

>688 Whiteout.

What about “Koi no Aima ni”? What about Yurippe’s surprise?

>691 They did it. That drummer is insane. He was hitting so hard that you could barely hear the piano and keyboard.

>686 Seriously!? I’ve always wanted to hear “Whiteout” live, so I’m jealous... I wish they’d make it into a DVD...

It’s over. Two hours and forty-five minutesｗ

>686 “Elysium,” “Yume・Hanabi,” “U,” “Endless Desire,” “Spiral” (no repeat), “Whiteout,” maybe? I’m jealous of “U”...

Apparently they’re releasing an album on March 10. The theme is supposedly proof of what GARNET CROW has built and a return to their roots.

I really want today’s live show on DVD〜 (or as an album bonus if a standalone release isn’t possible...) (´･ω･`)

It’s right before the financial results, huh.

Wasn’t that pronounced “Elysion”... Also, I think the drum volume is the PA’s fault, not the drummer’s. The unnecessary extra hits at the ends of songs, though, are definitely him.

>699 I think it’s pronounced “Elyusion.” Kurose’s drums must be getting really bad reviewsｗｗｗ The setlist today sounds like it was great. I’m jealous of everyone who got to go. Good work〜

The drummer overplays way too much. I couldn’t even tell when I was supposed to clap after the singing ended. I thought the stuff on this board was a joke, but it turns out it was true. It’s way too loud.

What was Yurippe wearing?

>676 ( ´ﾟдﾟ｀) Huh!? I’m in the three-digit numbers!

Setlist, please〜

Please ignore the song titles. I’m only a casual fan and don’t know the titles very well. The line “You’re in my heart, I’m in your heart♪” was from “Whiteout,” right?

With Kurose’s drumming, even the cool “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” was ruined, huh?

So it was another Kurose Festival today, after all?

It’ll show up on screen.

What exactly did they mean when they said there would be “movement” on day one? I’m jealous of “U” and “Whiteout.”

Good grief... another Kurose Festival? “VS Arashi” and “Himitsu no Arashi-chan” are really entertaining! Tomorrow is the GARNET CROW live show. Get Kurose the flu and switch to Kurumatani at the last minute!

In terms of presence: Yuri > Western drummer > Furudon > Nana-sama > everyone else.

So what was the Yuri & Hitoshi corner? They’re only doing one of the two, today or Tokyo, right? And what’s this about there being two stages?

It’s over. There was a 30-minute acoustic segment with just Mochi and Yurippe. They haven’t done that on any previous tour, have they?

If only Kurose weren’t there...

I can’t tell whether the album coming out March 10 is their eighth album or Best 2.

>713 That was pretty longｗ What songs did they play? Did the other members leave the stage then?

They say there’ll be lots of new songs in March, and it’s Best Album 2... Disb—

What does it mean that there are two stages? Is there another one near the middle of the audience? Is it set up so the audience surrounds it?

I wrote on the survey that the backing was too loudｗ I wonder if Yurippe will damage her throat(;_;)

Setlist, please.

March 10 is right in the middle of the best-of tour.

>716 The other members left the stage. Sorry, my memory’s fuzzy. “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku,” “stay,” and one more song. Mochi’s string broke halfway through, so they chatted freely while changing guitars. For the acoustic encore, they did “Mizu no Nai...” Someone who remembers the rest, please fill it in.

I want to hear “Whiteout.” I hope they do it in Tokyo too.

Today’s setlist was definitely the jackpot...

So Kurose was absent for 30 minutes, basically.

So what were Yuri and Mochi like in the end? Did anyone praise them?

Don’t worry. They were filming it with a really high-end camera.

I’d rather see a live show with Nana on piano and Yurippe singing〜 something more subdued. The live shows are pretty intense.

They didn’t do “Whiteout.” During the acoustic live, Furui-san and Nana watched from the dressing room monitor. Furui-san’s guitar-keyboard playing was fire... even more soulful than usual.

Did Mochi and Yurippe do their acoustic segment on the other stage?

The best-of album news was fake too.

They did “Seichi” acoustically. I wrote down the setlist, but I’m too lazy to upload it.

Was “Whiteout” fake news?

At the end of “Mizu no Nai Umi,” just as Yurippe was about to finish, Mochi ended it really abruptly, and Yurippe opened her eyes looking totally shockedｗ After that they gave their greetings awkwardly and moved to the main stage. But Yurippe was still saying something to Mochi over there. She didn’t seem angry, though.

Did they do “Seisui”?

Oh, and they also did “Koi no Aima ni” acoustically. Sorry for the double post.

It was fake, right? I’m on my way home and was shocked when I saw this. I thought I must’ve passed out halfway through.

If it’s a joint performance by Mochi and Yurippe, couldn’t you have seen that in Kawasaki or Nishinomiya? Yurippe said she was going to do something unprecedented and special. Was she talking about doing this with Mochi? That doesn’t seem very special.

>730 That’s right. The microphones were switched to wired ones too, and they sang sitting down. Yurippe said, “Your stares really hurt...”

>738 Well, lots of people didn’t go. Maybe they’ve done the sing-and-play thing at other events too?

>734 Where exactly was the stage where Yurippe and Mochi performed? Was it surrounded by the audience? Was it the same height as the main stage?

Someone organize all this for us!

What were Furui-san, AZUKI-san, and the others doing during that time...?

>741 There was a stage in the middle of the first-floor seating, surrounded by the audience. It was probably the same height. Was it called a floating island or something?

The stage was like this: ○○○○ ○■■○ ○■■○ ○□□○ ■■■■ The acoustic segment, during which Yurippe got so nervous her fingers went numb, was: Stay Holy ground Koi no Aima ni Encore: Mizu no Nai Hareta Umi e The setlist overall wasn’t much different, but it was great getting to hear “Elysium.” Just so we’re clear, there was no cleavage visible.

>738 There were probably more people who didn’t go, so I think it was really special. As someone who lives outside the big cities, I’m insanely jealous.

>743 They went back to the dressing room. According to Yurippe, Nana-san might have been asleep.

I heard “Tsuki ni Negai wo” for the first time. It was incredibly acoustic and lovely.

Maybe they replaced “Hibi no Hotori” with “ELY.”

>745 Were the audience sitting down during that?

I’ll probably get to the venue around five tomorrow. They’ll still be selling merch and stuff, right?

>750 There weren’t any chairs to sit on.

>741 　　メインステージ ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝　　　　‖＝‖　←階段 　　　　‖＝‖ 客｜￣￣￣￣￣￣￣｜客 客｜　　　　　　　｜客 客｜　　浮島　　　｜客 客｜　　　　　　　｜客 客｜　　　　　　　｜客 客｜＿＿＿＿＿＿＿｜客

>744 But if a venue with chairs had a floating-island stage like that, the capacity would be pretty low, right?

This Namba Hatch show is standing-room only, then?

Given the size of the venue, that drum volume is normal. ウフフ

Did the layout get messed up? Getting 1,000 people in without chairs is already pretty good. The second floor was full too.

>753 Does that staircase go up toward the main stage? Or does it go down?

>754 I think they could build that setup precisely because the crowd was small. On the second floor, I didn’t know their names, but there were a few people connected to them, like people from doa and Kurumatani-san...

>758 It goes down from the main stage. There’s also one going up to the floating island.

Someone’s been posting nothing but fake information. The acoustic segment with Yurippe and Mochi was really good. They signaled each other with their eyes, smiling every now and then. They made a really great-looking couple.

For tomorrow, can you see the second floor with a first-floor ticket?

>759 Maybe they came up with that setup because they couldn’t draw a crowd. By the way, what was Yurippe wearing?

Once it got past 9 p.m., people were leaving in droves.

I got so excited when Yurippe, Mochi, and Furui-san came up onto the floating island. They looked cool.

>760 So does that mean the main stage was higher?

Apparently they rehearsed until midnight yesterday? Yurippe: “I call it special training, not rehearsal.” Mochi: “I update the arrangements every day.” Yurippe: “I didn’t ask for that much, I didn’t.”

They called it “a thousand baseball knocks,” didn’t they?

What was Yurippe wearing, anyway?

Yuri-chan●

The two-person rehearsal → the two-person actual performance.

Us, a fleeting moment, racing through eternity.

The album news is probably fake. At the Fukuoka show, they said they couldn’t talk about the new release yet.

>769 She changed into one hell of a dress halfway through.

Sorry to interrupt the live-show talk. >680 That does seem to be true. http://ja.yourpedia.org/wiki/%E7%89%B9%E5%88%A5:Search?search=%E5%8F%A4%E4%BA%95%E5%BC%98%E4%BA%BA >682 You’re the one who didn’t look into it.

If they can’t make it through the financial results, they’ll disband.

>776 �d They performed “Maboroshi”? Lucky. Apparently there were lots of invited guests.

How were Frog’s drums today? Especially on “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku”ｗ

Whoever said “U,” come out here, hey!

>780 “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” was acoustic, so there were no drums. Furui-san’s guitar-keyboard playing was amazing! He ran around and jumped too. It was so cool. I hope they keep doing that.

>784 It was acoustic? Nice〜 We got stuck listening to the drum version of “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku.” Feels like we got ripped off.

>784 Agreed. They haven’t done that at the other venues, right?

>786 At the other shows, it was Kurose’s Hyper Drum version of “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku.” You couldn’t hear the keyboard or piano at allｗ I wonder if all the instruments around Furui-san were powered on today.

Yurippe looked cool in her black pants outfit. Her thighs are great, so a slim pants outfit is the best.

>787 I see. Thanks. We got to see something rare. The performance itself went pretty smoothly today, didn’t it? Though the guitar string broke and all.

How was the performance? Wasn’t the drum sound too loud? It was hard to hear the singing in the low parts and the other instruments. Furui-san’s portable keyboard in “Spiral” was definitely great. It was cool getting to see Furui-san’s and Mochi’s solos one after another during the instrumental break.

Yurippe’s thighs... Is that Yuriny via dry humping?

If you don’t like the drummer, boo him during the introductions.

Furui-san, please come out front with the keytar already^^

The floating island looks like a stage at a strip club. I wonder if they’ll do something on the floating island today too.

>792 You can’t boo him when Yurippe is the one introducing him. If the drummer said, “Today I’m serving as the support member handling the drums,” then you could boo him.

Will they do this on the first day in Tokyo, at Akasaka, too?

>796 Probably only in Osaka.

So if I go both days in Tokyo, will the setlist be the same?

>798 No, I think they’ll change it between the first and second days. The content will probably be different from Osaka too.

If the Tokyo tickets are already sold out for both days, there’s no need to change the setlist, so I think it’ll be the same. No proof, though. Ah, but they might make slight changes to the songs.

I wanted to ask everyone who went to Namba Hatch: After “Mizu no Nai Hareta Umi e” ended, they played “Rainy Soul” while preparing for the acoustic segment, right? Was that the Closer Soul’s Disco Remix from First Press Limited Edition B?

Didn’t they say they’d change it in Yokohama? It’s funny how, when someone from Osaka says that, it sounds like they’re hoping it’ll be Osaka-only.

>801 I think so.

>795 Do people heckle at live venues? I’ve never been, so I don’t know.

>803 I knew it. Thanks. I bought First Press A, so it was my first time hearing it.

>800 At the Yokohama show a few days ago, they said that for two-day shows in Tokyo and Osaka, they’d make the two days different by having a “Hitoshi & Oyuri” corner on one of them, or something like that〜 So Tokyo will have some changes too.

>804 At the Yokohama show, during the MC shortly after it started, a woman shouted at Mochi, “Marry me〜!”ｗ (￣_￣) “Go ahead〜”

>806 Oh, I see. Sorry.

While watching the Orion meteor shower and replaying “Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi” in my head, I felt incredibly happy. It’s actually my favorite song out of everything they’ve done. I want to hear it live. Love Lone Star is good too, but it never quite clicked with me. My Sendai ticket arrived too, so I’m excited! And I’m jealous of today’s setlist!

The acoustic segment was really good. I got to see it up close too. The remake? one-piece dress suited her. Her shoes were camouflage VANS SK8-HIs. I didn’t think the drums were particularly loud.

Furui-san on guitar and keyboard is god-tier cool.

Everything below Yurippe’s waist is incredible. You cleavage guys just don’t get it.

Apparently Osaka being home makes her nervous in a different way. But she really is a rare major artist based in Osaka.

Yurippe said there’d be a hidden surprise for the two Tokyo shows!

I wonder which day they’ll change the setlist in Tokyo, November 24 or 25. Probably November 24, since tickets were slow to sell. November 24 is the closest to yesterday’s Osaka setup.

>774 What does “one hell of a dress” mean? I want the full details on what Yurippe wore yesterday.

>809 “Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi” is a great song, isn’t it? It was the first one I bought, and I liked it from the first impression. I remember thinking, “Oh? The lyrics and arrangement are good.” I also thought Yurippe was a foreigner.

Nana-sama on the best-of album cover looked like Choi Ji-woo.

While reading a live report from the Yokohama show, some people said Yurippe was wearing a long skirt, while others said she had a skirt above the knees when she prostrated herself. Did she change outfits?

>816 At first she wore a black three-tier ruffle dress with diagonal panels. She had black pants underneath, a black jacket-like cover-up over it, and heels. After changing, she wore a long patterned dress with a belt around the waist. The shoes had also changed to heels that weren’t white. At the end she put on the merch hat, with a sparkly black jacket over the dress. Her hair was wavy, tied into one bundle and pulled out through the hat.

I ended up being the biggest loser because they weren’t selling CDs at the live venue(´∀｀) The guitar pick didn’t have a serial number either. I wanted to buy one at the Hankyu event and talk to Yurippe... I want to die. Please release the DVD before I dieorz

>820 Thanks for the details. Could you give us the details of Yurippe’s outfit at the Yokohama show too?

Was Yurippe not wearing pants when she prostrated herself at the Yokohama show?

How was Yurippe’s singing? Was it steady?

>821 >In the end, I was the biggest loser because they weren’t selling CDs at the live venue(´∀｀) Huh, they weren’t selling CDs? I was planning to buy Okamocchi’s solo CD.

Does Yurippe wear her hair down? If so, I’m even more excited. And I hope Sendai has chairs tooｗ I want them to do the Yurippe and Mochi segment.

Are there any songs they always sing at live shows?

Were there any families at yesterday’s live show?

How long was Yurippe’s skirt when she prostrated herself at the Yokohama show?

I was number 295, but I managed to attend with a same-day ticket, even though it cost 500 yen more. I didn’t expect “Mizu no Nai” to work so well live. It was great getting to see Nana’s little electronic bits toward the end, and I liked the mirror-ball effects too. More than anything, I was happy just to encounter the real, live GARNET CROW. The live old man was seriously cool! I haven’t kept up with the recent songs, but maybe I’ll listen to the latest album while reading the interview collection. >828 I think I saw a few mothers with elementary-school kids.

>821 >825 They were selling STAY and DVDs at the Nagoya venue. They kept advertising that buying STAY came with a postcard. Wasn’t it available in Osaka...? They didn’t have Mochi’s CD, though.

I was looking at the merch after the live show, so I don’t know what it was like beforehand, but they were selling CDs and DVDs in Osaka after the show too. Apparently, purchases of 3,000 yen or more came with a poster for “Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete.” I don’t know whether Okamocchi’s CD was there.

>827 ・“The song we cherish most” ・“Rocket” and “Eden” for the final sprint ・“Spiral Loop” as the very last song It’s such a shame they dropped “Seichi” this time.

They dropped “Seichi”? Personally, I think “Eden” is essential in the second half, so I hope they keep it.

I got assigned a business trip on the day of the live show＼(^o^)／ The tickets still haven’t sold out. What am I supposed to do with mine...

>793 I want to see thatｗｗ Nana-san too（笑）

>836 Furui-san was seriously cool yesterday. He was so wild you’d think he was better suited to being a guitaristｗｗ It’d be awesome if Nana-san came out to the front too. But thanks to the floating island yesterday, I was happily confused about whether to watch the island or the stage.

The LAZONA tragedyｗｗ

Someone on Mobage’s “Gane Circle” says they performed “Seichi.” Was that fake news?

Noｗ >833 was fake news. Sorry for making such a fussｗ

>835 I’ll buy it if we can meet in person(´∀｀) I’m the person who said yesterday that they weren’t selling CDs at the live venue. Did I get there too early? Were they selling them after the show? I’ve got nothing to do until the show ends.

・“The song we cherish most” ↑ Which song is this?

>842 Isn’t it “Yume Mita Ato de”?

>840 It’s not fake news. “Seichi” isn’t in the standard setlist.

“Seichi” wasn’t included because they didn’t have strings backing them.

Seriously, no “Seichi”?? In a way, that’s the quintessential GARNET song.

Were they handing out free tickets in Osaka? There was a woman on a blog saying she won tickets and went.

>832 They had both of Okamocchi’s CDs. For the record, I bought them.

On this tour, “Seichi” is acoustic-only. More importantly, I really wish they’d stop doing the sing-along segment already. If you’re going to make everyone rehearse, play one more song instead...

Have applications for the countdown live not started yet〜?

>849 >On this tour, “Seichi” is acoustic-only. That wording makes it sound like it’s also part of the regular tour.

Has anyone arrived yet?

Not yet.

There seem to be more men than usualｗ

>847 FM Osaka had a giveaway for invite tickets, so I entered and won. The winners’ line was pretty long.

Are there any cute girls here? As expected, there are lots of otaku types. The girl in the patterned long skirt with blunt bangs was cute, but she went somewhere.

>856 What did you even come here forｗ

>856 She left to get away from you.

Ew, 859 is gross.

>855 Was that the radio show from the other day?

>849 According to Yurippe, the best part of a live show is call and response♪ Don’t be shy—make some noise, it’s the best. Just sitting there listening the whole time would be boring, right?

I messed up. I thought I was buying Okamocchi’s album, but I bought his first single instead(；ω；｀)

I got here too late(´；ω；｀) I want to buy CDs, but they’re sold out by now, right? The live show ends around 10... I’ve got nothing to do, and there’s no way they’re still selling tickets...

>863 You can probably buy it on Amazon too...?

What do you think about waiting outside for them after the live show? I saw someone write on a fan site, “Mochi waved at me☆” and I wondered if I’m being too uptight for thinking, “Don’t make the four of them, who are already exhausted, even more tired...”

>865 They’re idols, so I think it’s fine.

>865 Huh, people still wait outside for them these days? Back in the day, “Peeping Beckham” tried to get Yurippe’s autograph.

>864 I wanted the poster.

>868 Yesterday, amid the crowd after the live show, I told them at the venue entrance, “I left my luggage in a locker inside,” and they let me back in.

I want to say, “I forgot to buy a ticket!” and get them to let me in. If that doesn’t work, I’ll buy CDs at the live show. I already have Limited Edition B.

>867 “Peeping Beckham.” That brings back memories. Is he still around?

>861 Call and response isn’t only that kind of literal back-and-forth. Leaving the kid otaku aside, I didn’t expect Yurippe not to understand that.

She has a distinctive singing voice, but there are songs that really draw you in. They’re a band with songs that are somehow comforting.

My ticket says “First floor, all seats unreserved.” Does that mean there are chairs? Did it also say “all seats unreserved” when it was standing-room only?

>874 It said “all seats unreserved” when it was standing-room only too.

It’s over. They sang a little bit of “Elysion.”

The setlist was the same.

When Yurippe cums, will she also go “I’m cummmming” to show her ecstasy? Call and response can mean this kind of thing too, right?

There were tons of cameras today. So today was filming day.

Nana-sama is sexy.

Yurippe should release a semi-nude photobook as soon as possible.

I want to know what Yurippe wore after the encore at the Yokohama show. Someone please tell me.

Yurippe going semi-nudeｗ How Osomatsu—(ry

I wonder if today’s show will be made into a DVD.

>883 What about Osomatsu-kun?

>884 Probably the Akasaka show.

The a cappella part was greatｗ Nana’s sexy commentｗ

She’s an AB-type girl, so being a little lewd is just her nature. Forgive her.

It felt like the drum volume was down to about two-thirds of the Nagoya show.

People here have been trashing the drummer, but from what I saw today, he wasn’t bad at all. His playing and volume were just right. GARNET’s audience might not go to many rock shows, but that’s nothing compared to rock. What was disappointing was that the bass was so quiet I could barely hear it. Ohashi-san must be playing well, too〜

>890 >889 >The drum volume felt like it was down to about two-thirds of the Nagoya show.

・Only the chorus of “Elysium” was sung a cappella. ・Just like yesterday, Furui-san played a guitar-like keyboard sound during “Spiral.” ・Nana-san did her homework from yesterday (she was asked to prepare a long talk about what kind of image “Hana wa Saite” gives her) and even brought notes... which resulted in her saying that the lyrics of “Hana wa Saite” are sexy. ・While Furui-san was talking, Yurippe tried to back up, tripped over a chair, and burst out laughing by herself. ・Nana-san handed a pick to an elementary-school kid in the front row(?) ・About the countdown: Nana-san said, “I want to keep it mellow.” The members said, “Huh!? ... We’ll have to discuss that later...” Nana-san said, “Then let’s go all-out!” ...It looks like the details still aren’t settled.

>891 The volume is the PA’s responsibility, not the drummer’s problem.

>892 Thanks for the report. Could you give us more details on the sexy-lyrics comment?

I want to know what Yurippe wore after the encore at the Yokohama show. Someone please tell me.

>890 The problem isn’t that the drums were too loud. I’m saying it because the keyboard was inaudible and the balance was bad.

>895 A Burberry miniskirt with a white blouse.

>896 I understand that, but looking at the flow so far, there have been a lot of posts criticizing the drummer personally. I thought the members would be sad if they were reading this, so I wanted to say that the drummer was doing his job properly.

>886 The Akasaka show’s recording was canceled so they could free up space and sell additional tickets.

>897 So you mean she prostrated herself while wearing a miniskirt?

>892 Being an AZUKI-san fan since elementary school, that kid has a promising future.

>865 I recommend waiting outside for Mai Kuraki instead.

It was my first time going to a GC live show, and there were quite a lot of women.

>901 Yeah.

The repeat section at the end of “Spiral” was greatｗ

Is that guitar-like keyboard people have been talking about a keytar? The kind Tetsuya Komuro and Daisuke Asakura used to use.

>899 For Akasaka, they opened up the camera seats on the second day, but wasn’t the first day left as-is?

Was there any surprising news during the MC?

>898 The drums used to be loud enough to nearly drown out the singing and keyboard, so it’s understandable that people say the drums are too loud. Complaints come out bluntly, and even if you try hard to explain that it’s the PA’s responsibility, people aren’t going to stop saying the drums are too loud. The drummer is being criticized personally for dragging out the endings, or cutting in while Yurippe’s MC isn’t finished yet. That has nothing to do with the volume.

They’ve managed to keep going for ten years without a huge hit.

Saegusa managing seven years is even more impressive.

>910 Because they have a steady fanbase. They’re not a one-hit wonder.

“go for it” was insanely cool.

Please('A`) Tell me what was said in >894.

>907 They were recording today with a lot of video cameras, but does GIZA do this twice? If possible, I hope they record it twice and make the version with Yurippe in better form into the DVD.

>914 After making the “sexy” comment, she laughed and said, “I can’t today. Cut that part when you make the DVD.” The conversation didn’t go any further.

>916 Oh, I see. Thanks. I’d been wondering what happened after yesterday.

I want to watch this live show in HD. I wish they’d release it on Blu-ray along with the older works. DVD picture quality is getting pretty tough to stomach these days. Is there any chance they’ll release Blu-ray?

Is this foreshadowing a different-venue version marketing scheme?

>909 I didn’t think the endings were dragged out that much. Maybe they’re gradually improving in that area. There was a spot where they counted in during the MC, but that was probably planned. The timing matched. Personally, I liked David-san’s drumming. I don’t know whether the PA was venue staff or dedicated to the band, but it wasn’t very good. During the Okamocchi corner, the microphone fed back twice at the same pitch. That’s the kind of thing they should have fixed during rehearsal. Once the vocalist realizes that singing out causes feedback, they can’t sing with confidence. Anyway, let’s leave this topic here...

Nana-san was wearing a shirt with a wide neckline, so her cleavage was plainly visible when she bowed or leaned forward to sit in a chair.

I want to know what Yurippe wore after the encore at the Yokohama show. Someone please tell me. I’m so curious I can’t sleep. Please.

>915 I don’t know, but there were cameras filming in Yokohama too, at least.

>922 This is the one wearing the hat, right? http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w44256720 Seriously, how did they take this photo under those circumstances...

>921 Yurippe’s outfit was completely gap-free, though. Maybe she heard that the cleavage paranoids were out and took precautions.

>924 It says “Yuri Nakamura”...

>923 Maybe they’re going to splice together footage from venues around the country like Zard did.

>924 Judging by the angle, it was taken from the second floor. Probably a pro’s unauthorized leak. AZUKI’s is selling pretty wellｗ

Which was better in Osaka, the first or second day, both as a show and in terms of the members’ motivation?

>924 In this photo of her wearing the hat, is she wearing pants? Or black tights?

>924 This is a violation of publicity rights, isn’t it? Is GIZA Artist’s publicity-rights countermeasures department watching this? Also, on the way home, in the underground passage toward JR Namba on the Yotsubashi subway line, I saw a suspicious man selling photos of Yurippe and Nana-sama when they were young.

It’s tights. Cleavage guy, at least say thank you first.

>932 How can you be sure they’re tights? She was wearing pants before the encore.

This outfit on Yurippe was probably her best ever. I really want it. It was kind of a rider-style jacket. The two zippers sparkled, and it looked great onstage. The skirt was the black frilly one from the fifth-anniversary live, with the black pantaloons she wore during “Spiral” on the most recent two-disc DVD. The evenly spaced corsages below the knees were stylish. She’s really good at reusing pieces. Maybe it’s a favorite. Rather than skinny, it gave a sharp impression. Even in black, she wore it in a clean, polished way. I think Yurippe suits a hard military style better than patterns. Nana-san is a model, so everything looks cool on her, and she’s tall in person. Furui-san has surprisingly broad shoulders too. Unfortunately, no matter what Okamocchi wears, he looks like he’s just come back from a pachinko parlor...

>934 That last line made me laughｗｗｗ

So what was it in the end? Was Yurippe wearing pants after the encore, or tights? Someone who went to Yokohama, please tell me.

>934 For some reason, the way you write reminds me of that GTO NA AT god.

>934 I thought Okamocchi’s outfit today was good. The colors were vivid but still subdued.

There was a rumor in the previous thread that Yurippe and Nana weren’t getting along, and I was worried. But after seeing them today and realizing they were acting as usual, I’m relieved.

People in the industry seating keep wandering around and have terrible energy. I wish they’d think a little more about the atmosphere. I’ve wondered this for a while: is it some kind of aesthetic for people in the industry seats not to clap?

Clapping along is uncool.

>924 Yurippe is cool and cute.

After the encore at the Yokohama show, was Yurippe wearing pants, or tights?

The thread is moving so fast. Is it usually like this during live shows?

Did anyone buy the photos of Yurippe and Nana-san being sold in the Namba subway passage? I only got a quick look, but they seemed to be pretty old photos.

Are Yurippe’s moves any good? She looks totally amateurish.

>947 Yurippe isn’t a dancer, so that really doesn’t matter at all.

Honestly, I was against standing-room shows at first, but afterward I had an incredible amount of fun. I hope they do another standing live show. Even if there are chairs, everyone ends up standing for the rest of the show anyway. The waiting is rough, though. Also, I raised my arms too much during “Futari no Rocket” and “Spiral” in the encore, so they hurtｗ

>924 I still can’t tell from this photo. What was it? Was Yurippe wearing pants after the encore? Please, someone tell me.

So what was that rumor about Yurippe and Nana not getting along, anyway? (´･ω･)( ^ω^)

Did you see Saida-san’s diary on Mixi?? I thought it was just a rumor spreading on its own, but is GIZA really going away...?

>952 Details, please.

I came here to post about Saida’s diary, but someone beat me to itｗ Saida wrote a diary on Mixi hinting that GIZA is going to be dismantled. I didn’t think things were this dangerous...

It was something cryptic along the lines of, “I love GIZA, but this might become a tragic love story.”

Even if Gane somehow avoids disbanding, would leaving GIZA still affect their work?

Seriously?

>955 Thanks! So that’s what it was...

>955 Taken by itself, that could also mean Saida personally is getting fired.

>959 True. I guess we can’t copy and paste the diary here...

>924 Yurippe suits a ponytail better.

The full diary: Title: “Who gives a damn what happens to GIZA!” Sorry, but I love Being/GIZA. Whether this love ends in tragedy or culminates in a comedy, the die has already been cast and keeps rolling（ー＿ー） Who knows what happens after that? ...No one knows.

>962 �d! I don’t even know what to say...

>962 Judging from the title alone, this isn’t a personal matter. There must be some movement to do something to GIZA.

>962 Thanks for posting! Something is definitely going to happen now.

>962 That’s way too cryptic... Nooooooo!

I’m planning to attend Akasaka after Yokohama too, but now I’m worried I’ll be unable to enjoy it from the bottom of my heart. Come to think of it, the members used to talk about goals for the following year (like wanting to hold an event on Tanabata for their seventh anniversary), but have they said anything about their tenth anniversary this year?

Maybe they’re moving over to ZARD’s side.

Even if they continued by releasing self-produced records, I’d buy them. Most of the equipment is probably Furui-san’s own, and Okamocchi has a home-recording setup too, so they could probably figure something out.

The staff blog, “Road Of The 10th Years,” has stopped updating. Maybe it means the road to the tenth anniversary has been cut off.

About Nana-sama’s talk on “Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete”: “It just blooms. It doesn’t bloom by its own will; it just blooms. You could call it erotic. Ah, what am I saying? I’m no good today.” Do you like SM, Nana-sama?

>971 Flowers bloom without any will. They’re only blooming, yet they end up attracting insects and things. It has nothing to do with preferences. Yurippe had just been talking about poignancy and transience, but somehow the conversation veered toward “erotic” with extra emphasis... Ah, this is no good! What am I supposed to do today? Before that, she’d also said something like, “I feel like strange juices are going to come out of my whole body,”ｗ

By the way, all of Gane are company employees, so even if they disband, they’ll just stay with the company like Kurumatani, Iwai, and Oyabu. If they were signed to an outside agency like Saegusa or Kitahara, they’d have to say goodbye.

>972 Thanks. That’s what she said. Nana-sama is such a cute person.

Moving to Polydor would be an incredible development.

I want to know what Yurippe wore after the encore at the Yokohama show. Was it pants?

>972 Nana-sama is so sexyｗｗ This is the world of sensualityｗｗ

She was completely naked.

http://up3.viploader.net/news/src/vlnews003398.jpg Cuter than Yurippe.

>972 The last line was probably, “I feel like something weird is about to come out of my body.” The context was that returning to Namba Hatch was deeply moving because it had been seven years since the additional show for their first live there.

What comes out of Nana-sama’s pussy?

I started a new thread. http://anchorage.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1256341888/ GARNET CROW part.221〜Yurippe at Dawn〜

>982 Thanks, man.

Could someone give me the Fukuoka setlist?

>972 Thanks for the report. But that lyric explanation was awful, Nana. It honestly shocked me a little. It’s not just that the wording was childish; it made me wonder, “Did you really write those lyrics?” You can force a connection between “having no will”—in other words, losing the self—and “eros,” but the lyrics say “without trying to lure anyone,” while you said “it ends up luring insects.” That’s a massive contradictionｗ Poetry isn’t something you’re supposed to explain in the first place. I’m sure you were joking, but even so, it was terrible. Are you in elementary school?

I want to know what Yurippe wore after the encore at the Yokohama show. Was it pants?

A fundoshi.

I want to know what Yurippe wore after the encore at the Yokohama show. Was it pants? Please give me a serious answer. I can’t stop wondering.

>985 Doesn’t “without trying to lure anyone” mean that it’s blooming without any intention of luring something?

>988 She was wearing black pants under a gray pleated skirt.

I’m listening to “Blue no Mori de” because I want to hear Yurippe’s “Yay!” again today v(^o^)

>971-972

>985 I don’t think “it ends up luring insects” means the flower is consciously luring them. It’s more like the insects come over on their own. I’m not explaining it very well, but that’s probably what it means.

>992 Sorry, my hand slipped. >971-972 Nana-sama is so cute(*´∀｀*)

>990 So she only changed her jacket after the encore?

AZUKI Nana-san is such a pervert.

>985 >993 If you’re talking about “eros” from the flower’s point of view in those lyrics, I think the important thing is not “inviting,” but “accepting.” Apparently there’s originally a difference between the language of poetry and the language of speech, but there’s still something that feels off...

>985 I kind of understand what Nana-sama was trying to say〜 It was probably something like >989 and >993. Besides, it was just an MC at a live show, so you might as well take it half as a joke, right? It seems it was her homework from yesterday, so Nana-sama was probably joking around too.

Well, let’s fill the thread.

Feeling 1000-mental.
