Sorry, I accidentally pasted the same thing twice. And thanks for starting the thread, >1.

>2 >You may add a subtitle or not, but if you do, keep it limited to song titles and the like. ↓ To prevent disputes, it would be better to change it to “Don’t add a subtitle.” Even if we allow one, “song titles and the like” is too broad. As written, it could end up allowing the title of some idol group’s song too. Also, including “and the like” could be taken to mean tie-in show titles are okay. P.S. I’m not saying I’m someone who insists on rebuilding the thread every time a subtitle gets added.

Nakamura: “Why can’t you play the guitar harder, like the thing down there when you look at me?” Okamoto: “...”

This thread is not for GARNET CROW fans to obsessively talk about ARASHI, Hey!Say!JUMP, NYC, or B.I.shadow.

>8 I’m adding everything except GARNET CROW to my NG list lol Thanks for starting the thread, >1.

Waaah— Toho Korean, wake up!!!!

>1, thanks for starting the thread. I’m heading to the venue now.

>1 Thanksver Drive.

>1 Hyururu, the sun goes down—nice work.

The Over Drive commercial just came on during Conan. The PV has a bright feel.

The commercial didn’t feel very GARNET-like, so for a second I was like, “Who is that?” lol

Yurippe is the same age as Pongsaklek, huh.

Yurippe’s gotten better at MCing. There really does seem to be a temperature gap between Yuri-san and Nana-san (;´д｀)

Yurippe is the kind of girl who can do it if she tries (´･ω･)

Is the show over?

Tears of Yesterday Mysterious Eyes Natsu no Maboroshi As the Dew B-side medley, including Even if I Line Up More Than a Thousand Words One of My Dreams Kaze to Rainbow wish★ Two songs whose titles I don’t know Timeless Sleep Acoustic from here on Rai・Rai・Ya Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi Running All the Way to Your House To the Clear Sea Without Water ※While they were taking the questionnaire, the fans shouted, “Do them all~!” lol Yume Mita Ato de call my name The World Turns, They Say Futari no Rocket Someone else take it from here.

Yurippe and Azuki are different species, that’s all.

I never expected it to last 2 hours 57 minutes. Nana had Karita-san check the size on the T-shirt tag for her. I’m jealous~

>21 You mean Clockwork and Crier Girl & Crier Boy, right? Wasn’t there a glow-stick Holy after Yume Mita Ato de?

>6 Don’t take charge on your own. We’ll just have another dispute.

>23 Did Karita-kun get eaten?

Didn’t Okamocchi publicly propose to Yurippe?

>21 Thanks for the setlist!! So they did Yofuke and Kiminchi~... What were the candidates for the pick-one-of-three song? >23 Almost three hours... That’s the finale for you...^^; How many times did they do Spiral in the end?

>25 Isn’t it just a suggestion?

>29 Even if that suggestion gets adopted, if someone makes a thread with a subtitle, it’ll just be used as a shield to start another flame war. Pointless.

Great work, Yurippe. Great work, Nana-san. Great work, Okamocchi. Great work, Furui-san. Great work, Ohashi-san. Great work, Karita-kun. Great work to everyone who went to the live.

>30 I see. Sorry for butting in from the side.

>31 Why do you hate Kurose so much? lol

Wardrobe malfunction http://up.pandoravote.net/up4/img/panflash00004860.jpg

>32 Whether it’s from the side or diagonally, who cares?

Is there really only one person posting Osaka reports? Got any more?

They played Yofuke because it got the most applause. They’d practiced Kiminchi but it never got picked, so they did it as a special extra.

Maybe Kiminchi was influenced by Ninnaji?

After the live, Kurose was the first person Yurippe high-fived.

Kiminchi was kind of acoustic to begin with, wasn’t it?

>37 Kiminchi lol But if the Osaka show is what they’re recording, Stay was heard in Nagoya, and Koi no Aima ni was on the CD, so I guess that means we’ve been able to hear all three^^

Today’s live is the one that’s going to be released on DVD.

Why do Tokyo and Osaka get special treatment every time? Give the regional shows glow sticks too... Or else change the ticket prices. Tokyo and Osaka: 7,000 yen Everywhere else: make it 6,000 yen.... The gap is way too huge for the same price.

Too bad, regional folks lol

The regional shows don’t fill up, and the touring costs are ridiculously high. I actually think they could raise the prices instead.

Next time I’m going to fill out the questionnaire properly before I leave. Kurose, please quit. Even if they only sell them as merch, please sell us glow sticks.

>43 Maybe the agency figures that in Tokyo and Osaka they can still make their money back at 6,000 yen even with glow sticks, but the regional shows would be too much of a strain... Still, from the regional fans’ point of view, it’s completely unreasonable...

I think next time they should just do three shows. Fukuoka Osaka, two days Hokkaido Then we could save on travel costs too. People from Tokyo can travel.

Tokyo brings in 27 million yen in ticket revenue. Osaka brings in 18 million, whereas places like Sendai only bring in around 6 million. Merch sales are proportional too, so what can you do?

I didn’t realize glow sticks were that important.

>50 If they’d announced the concept beforehand, there probably wouldn’t have been any complaints. Surely.

Can’t you throw a glow stick in the non-burnable trash?

>52 Please follow your local government’s disposal guidelines.

You have to separate the plastic, glass, and chemicals.

To everyone who attended the Osaka finale, great work. I got the rare Loto Charm aaaaaaah!

Kurose-san, great work. Please take it easy next time.

There was a weird group at Nagoya, but what was Osaka like? Were there banners or anything?

I’m from a regional area too, but it’s not like I’m that unhappy just because there were no glow sticks lol I was happy enough that they came and did a live.

The Over Drive title-call version by Nana-sama was only heard in Fukuoka.

>43 That’s just GIZA for you. Their special treatment of Osaka in particular is ridiculous.

>60 I see. I guess it’s about time to switch over to B-Gram for the future...

I’m back from Osaka. Someone else mentioned it earlier in this thread too, but Yurippe’s singing style was different at the beginning. She was singing with a voice like an ordinary girl. Why was that?

>62 Her outfit made her do it.

>21 This was my first show of the tour, but I think it went something like this. The PA was awful during the first half, and I could barely make out Yurippe’s lyrics. Is it always like that? 1. Tears of Yesterday 2. Mysterious Eyes 3. Natsu no Maboroshi 4. As the Dew 5. Yuudachi no Niwa? ～Even if I Line Up More Than a Thousand Words...?～ 6. One of My Dreams 7. Kaze to Rainbow 8. wish★ 9.

Over Drive 3. Our Own Future 4. Spiral Spiral was seriously amazing. I was moved!

How was it amazing? Did they do it ten times?

>64 It’s all Kurose’s fault.

Correction to 64 >Acoustic corner (14–17) ↓ Acoustic corner (12–16)

Did the old guy go wild?

Great work at Osaka~ So did they do extra Spirals at the end after all?

Old guy: “I’m amazing when I take my clothes off.”

The heckling in Osaka was a little loud. Come to think of it: Idiot: “I went to every show.” Okamocchi: “Is your company okay?” Idiot: “I got fired.” Yurippe: “Eeeeeh—” Idiot: “No, I almost got fired.” I don’t know...

Could it be that Nana went wild into the audience with her shoulder keyboard, and instead of getting mobbed by the audience, the story turned into her taking down a hundred people herself? >71 That made me lol.

>71 When people get special treatment, I guess more of them start feeling like they’re friends with the members.

>71 Do it at the Bread Factory live.

I didn’t count the Spirals, but it was probably longer than usual. After I thought it was about to end, they did it three more times.

I was right next to the person who shouted, “This is the tenth time!” lol It was my first live and I had fun, but somehow the final Spiral really moved me. I thought, “Ah, so this is what a GARNET CROW live is like.” I absolutely want to go if they hold another one in Osaka. Next time I’ll go with my girlfriend. Being alone really is kind of sad. There were quite a few people there with their families too, and I was jealous. I even saw several grandmothers.

Yeah, there were definitely more than usual. Over Drive wasn’t bad either.

There wasn’t a single heckle in Fukuoka. They warmly welcomed even the rambling MC. Especially the rambling MC while introducing the new song: “What does the new song sound like?” Furui: “Something perfect for the season ahead.” Nana: “Like early summer...” Okamocchi: “Spring and early summer... Summer, I guess...” Yurippe looked like she was wondering whether this group was really okay. Fukuoka: “Totally okay.”

>71 When an idiot says something stupid like that, even the people onstage don’t know how to respond, so don’t say you got fired, even if it’s a lie lol

>79 The person who said it probably thought it got a laugh. No idea what the actual situation was, though.

I don’t want to go to the Bread Factory, but I’d like them to play a venue about the size of the Bread Factory.

Still... I’m fine with them doing a lot of Spirals at the end, but they jumped way too much. At a venue with a huge “NO JUMPING” sign, too. Even Yurippe couldn’t hold back and jumped. Oh man, they probably won’t be allowed to use that venue anymore. It’s a nice place as a venue, though...

>82 Yurippe blurted out “Jump!” too, right? Then everyone around me started jumping, so I hesitated about whether I should do it too. I didn’t, though.

They’ll probably cut Spiral down to five times on the DVD lol

I was right next to that person and seriously wanted him to stop. Whether it was true or not, that’s not something you should say at a 10th-anniversary concert.

>82 They should do the next one at Festival Hall.

I asked Saida-san, and apparently they did have DVD cameras in there.

To everyone who went to the Osaka live, great work!!! It really does feel like a finale—the audience and the members both looked like they were having fun lol >71 People like that idiot really should get fired... >80 There’s no way he got a laugh. He’s getting roasted even here...

Actually, the pre-show announcement plainly said they’d be recording video.

That overly familiar conversation with the audience was annoying. It’s unfair how the regulars always get good seats and have their faces remembered. I’m a regular too, but I’ve never gotten a front-row seat.

At my company, he’d be fired.

If it bothered you that much, you should’ve told him directly on the way out lol

Me: ZARD memorial concert @ Fukuoka — row 7 GARNET STAY Tour @ Fukuoka — ticket in the 240s GARNET Countdown Tour (bought it as a favor for a friend) — row 7 GARNET Best Tour @ Fukuoka — row 3

Just got home. Kiminchi was probably influenced by Ninnaji—slow tempo and mellow. Yurippe sounded like an enka singer while singing Rai・Rai・Ya. Spiral was probably seven times. I never expected them to bring it out at the end in a venue with a no-jumping rule. Everyone onstage was jumping too. Nana-sama: “I went to all that trouble to think it up, so why are you laughing there?” So cute.

>91 Maybe I’m being prejudiced, but heckles from people like that usually fall completely flat...^^; If they were shouting something like “I bought it~” at the top of their lungs, that’d be one thing, but the members’ conversation got interrupted by those unbelievably unfunny heckles, and it pissed me off...

Kid.

That idiot was in a group around the center section, about six rows from the front on the first floor. I think they were regulars in red T-shirts, but those were some completely clueless heckles that weren’t funny at all. Couldn’t he have been clever enough to say he was self-employed, even if it was a lie?

Ignoring the mood, I stayed home and watched *The Hairdresser’s Husband*. That movie is hard.

If Grand Cube won’t work, let’s use Koseinenkin Hall.

Fukuoka show. Maybe next time it’ll be Fukuoka Civic Hall?

We were told to use the glow sticks during Holy, but when “The World Turns, They Say” came on, the whole venue was waving them perfectly together. That sense of unity was kind of moving. It was great getting to hear the new song. It might be a better fit as a Conan movie song, but in terms of how complete the song feels, As the Dew is on another level. Nana-sama’s piano solo in As the Dew was goosebumps-level quality. It was seriously amazing.

The glow sticks had nothing to do after Holy ended.

At the Forum, everyone was waving them during “The World Turns...” too. Honestly, they fit that song better than Holy.

Fukuoka people are annoying....

Glow sticks get tiring, so I don’t need them.

>71 The cheering was so loud it rang in my ears. But as far as I could hear, there weren’t any heckles. There was lots of cheering and calling out, and plenty of responses to the MC. As for the “got fired” comment, Yurippe seemed to be laughing while not knowing how to respond. But when she heard that he was “about to get fired,” she said something along the lines of, “Oh, so you’re still okay for now.” >85 You really do value the spirit of words, huh.

I think the GARNET members really care about their words, especially Nana.

Please use those carefully chosen words when you do your MC, Azuki-san lol

So that means the Osaka show will be on the DVD. Good for everyone who went today.

For the regional shows, let’s come up with some towel choreography. Like waving towels during Spiral....

If they’re releasing a DVD, I need to start saving.

>111 Shonan no Kaze? lol Wouldn’t hitting the people next to you with a towel end up starting a fight~...?

There was some Tatsuro Yamashita in the A section of Over Drive, right?

I just got home. Any questions?

>114 The “silent night~♪” part, right? lol I thought the same thing lol

>115 What are her three sizes?

Still, I guess they really went the extra mile with the MINIQLO segment. “We’ll perform whichever of the three gets the most applause,” and then all three got about the same amount... So they ended up doing two songs, right? That feels like a pretty generous bonus... What do people who know how the other venues went think?

>115 Was it true that they handed out glow sticks? Did anyone from Conan’s side show up? Was Nana’s shoulder keyboard real?

After they finished the special performance of Kiminchi: Audience: “Sing everything!” Yurippe: “...No, there are still more shows after this...” She brushed it off so smoothly, but she must have been annoyed inside lol I wanted to hear everything too, though.

>115 What’s your favorite vegetable?

>118 That’s proof people didn’t stick to the one-applause-per-person rule.

>115 Were there any gross otaku groups?

>118 But there were people shouting “Do them all~,” and after they did two songs, people shouted “One more~.” That’s when I thought, yep, Kansai people all right.

Did anyone from the Osaka group record Conan? The Over Drive commercial was on.

>117 Mine are B90-W76-H85. >115 They did hand out glow sticks. (They came in bags.) Someone connected to Conan may have been there, but there were no greetings or anything. Only Furui-san used the shoulder keyboard.

>120 Maybe she was thinking, “What is up with these Osaka people?” “They don’t make unreasonable demands like that at the regional shows.”

The audience kept pestering them to do everything. Yurippe ignored them in the end, but I thought Osaka had no restraint.

>121 Zucchina, of course lol

>115 Did they announce anything about future activities? Like a DVD release or the next tour...

>125 Apparently so. I recorded it, so I’ll watch it later~

>128 Osaka people are the kind of creatures who think they’re losing out if they don’t ask for things.

At the MINIQLO segment they said it was a questionnaire, but all three songs got about the same amount of applause... (苦笑) Did they end up doing two songs after all? I guess they really did go the extra mile? Anyone who knows what happened at the other venues, how was it?

Fukuoka people know how to liven things up, but they’re well-behaved, so they don’t make unreasonable demands of the members. That rambling MC while introducing the new song at the Fukuoka show— if it had been Osaka or Tokyo, they probably would’ve booed. The MC didn’t even turn into a new-song introduction lol

>121 Azuki. I like sucking out the juice, peeling the bean skins off in my mouth, and licking them until they get all gooey. >123 They weren’t very noticeable, but there was a cue-card guy and a folding-fan guy.

>118 The applause sounded like: Yofuke > Stay > Kimi no Ie. >120 Rather than doing Spiral over and over, I would’ve preferred if they’d done Stay in the acoustic corner too.

Fukuoka people sure love leaving blank lines.

Gross otaku ask about skirt length and panty flashes.

>135 Seeing someone waving a folding fan made me think of Ken Shimura playing a feudal lord. (They were too far away, so I could only see the arm...)

Lucky... I really wanted to hear Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi　(´･ω･｀) I wanted to hear To the Clear Sea Without Water and Rai・Rai・Ya with the full band. Osaka people are the type who feel cheated if they don’t get everything. Will the whole thing make it onto the DVD? Didn’t they run over time?

>135 The cue-card guy was there again... I didn’t see it myself, so whatever.

My prediction is that Over Drive’s Oricon ranking will be the same as Red Desire’s finish.

The bit about the guy who almost got fired will be cut without a second thought.

>140 I think they’ll cut the MC, Spiral, and the encore time.

This is a job for Blu-ray.

There was a cue-card guy at the CF too.

I hope they keep Yuri-san’s curse and the Okamocchi cult-leader bit.

MINIQLO looks like it’s going to get cut. Maybe the first-press limited edition will include the MINIQLO live footage on disc 3 as a bonus or something.

>148 Would they really go that far with the cynical business practices? Even if they did, they’d probably only include the live audio with the first edition.

During the jumping part of Spiral, Yurippe did a roundhouse kick once in the first half, and it surprised me. And she did it in a miniskirt, right in front of a low-angle camera.

If you write stuff like that, the thigh guy is going to start acting up again.

>150 Seriously, I think you could see it.

>148 They said they were considering re-releasing the MINIQLO CD, so they’ll probably put that footage on a DVD and sell it bundled with something.

The person inside Yurippe is designed to be okay with being seen.

>142 I don’t know Red Desire, but Over Drive is a good song. It looks like it’ll sell well.

The opening was something like: “Only the sound of the wind~ wraps around my body~ some kind of Silent Kiss~” (^ε^) Wasn’t it?

Yurippe: “Taking a cue from recession-proof Uniqlo, to Abercrombie, which has just landed in Japan—” She hadn’t even finished, but Okamocchi interrupted Yurippe’s MC.

>155 I suddenly wondered: does anyone know roughly how many copies the songs that have had Conan movie tie-ins sold? I hope more people get to know GARNET CROW through this song.

Conan otaku will probably like this more than As the Dew.

Over Drive probably won’t climb very high on Oricon, but I think it’ll become a long-running seller.

>150 I wonder if Yurippe picked up the habit of kicking whenever she gets really into it after the countdown show.

The Uniqlo joke was something Mochi said at the countdown show, and Yurippe stole it.

She’s probably not wearing panties anyway, so who cares if you see? It’s not like anything gets lost.

>160 No, it won’t become a long-running seller. I’m getting the feeling it’ll just have steady sales again. We can’t really expect them to gain new fans anymore...

>158 I think this is their first tie-in with a Conan movie. Songs tied in with the Conan TV series tend to sell pretty well.

All right, all right, calm down and have some tea. 　　　　　　　　　 　 　　＿＿__ 　　　　　　∧_∧　 　/__　o、 |、 　　　 　 （´・ω・ ）　　 .| ・ ＼ﾉ 　　　　　（　ｏ旦o 　 　 | ・　　| 　　　　￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ And let’s sage the thread too.

I think this should be MINIQLO’s last time. The blackout time before and after it is such a waste. Cut that and they could probably do another one or two songs. Though Nakamura-san might need the time to rest her throat...

>167 The throat thing is part of it, but it probably doubles as break time for the two older members too.

That time is really for the old guy and Nana to drink tea and eat snacks.

>167 Mochi really should be the vocalist, huh.

>167 Actually, for the audience it’s necessary so we can escape Kurose’s drumming and properly savor Yurippe’s singing voice.

I’d like to hear it in a movie theater. But I’ve never been to a movie theater, so I don’t even know how to buy a ticket lol Do you have to go all the way to the theater to find out what movies are playing that day?

MINIQLO isn’t bad, but if they’re going to do it, I’d also like a version with just Nana-sama on piano and Yurippe singing. Call it Petit Crow or something.

>152 It probably looks like a skirt but is designed so nothing can be seen. Knowing how cautious Yurippe is.

They should do Adult Crow with Furui and AZUKI.

>172 Why not just check the movie theater’s website?

>158 Sorry, I asked that badly... What I wanted to ask was how many copies other artists sold when they sang movie theme songs... Anything you know would be helpful, so please tell me. But if it’s a Conan tie-in, I guess it’ll sell a certain amount~ Though gaining new fans might be difficult...

I was really looking forward to As the Dew, but I felt a powerful sense of wrongness (especially in the chorus) and was disappointed. I don’t really know, but did they change the key, or was Yurippe singing off-key? Overall, Yurippe’s voice came out much better than at the countdown show, and she was really into it, so I was very satisfied. Honestly, I’ve had my fill of MINIQLO already...

As the Dew was pretty awful.

>177 Sorry, I meant >165, not 158.

It depends on who’s in charge. Like B’z at #1 and Aina Ai at #6.

>171 Yeah, yeah. I feel like Yurippe raises her voice a lot whenever the drums come in. It’s powerful and all, but you lose that sense of fragility. The acoustic corner has that fragility, which is nice. >173 That would be good too. Actually, if they just left out the drums, I feel like all four GARNET CROW members could perform together just fine.

>150 What was it like when she did that? For anyone who was in the front rows at the Osaka show, could you see a lot of thigh?

They did have that nearly-vocals-only version of Rai・Rai・Ya, right? I’d love to hear that live.

It was my first time, and I had a great time. I want to go again. I was on the second floor, so I couldn’t see the members’ expressions... The glow sticks during Holy Ground were really beautiful and moving. It was a shame the drums during Yume Mita Ato de were so loud, though.

Why did David stop being a support musician?

Isn’t David not in Japan anymore?

>186 He went back to his home country.

>186 The band David belonged to was Experience, right? Didn’t all the members go back to America?

The left-and-right waving during Holy Ground was unusually synchronized, which surprised me. The beginning and end were a mess, but the middle was amazing. It was the first time I’d seen everyone so perfectly in sync!

Seriously? I liked his understated but groovy, steady drumming. I thought it suited GARNET perfectly.

Nakamura-san and Okamoto-san looked hot at one point. They should’ve taken their clothes off...

ADAQLO GARNET CROW played on piano.

>190 I thought there would be some announcement like, “Holy Ground is next!” but it started suddenly, so I panicked. Lots of people only started fumbling around in their bags for them after the intro began. The people who were waving from the start probably got the setlist information beforehand and memorized it.

Kurose-san had less armpit hair today, probably because he knew they were filming the DVD.

Please surround Kurose-san with drum barrels.

>150 Couldn’t you see her panties?

>194 I kept my glow stick in my jacket’s inner pocket, so I was ready to go (´ω｀)ｖ

I think they should’ve mentioned the glow sticks in the pre-show announcement too, instead of only putting it on the paper.

>150 If that scene makes it onto the DVD, there’s a chance the panties will be visible.

>190 >194 It really was amazing. You could feel the unity of the entire venue. Spiral was dragged out even longer than I expected too, which surprised me lol

>200 Don’t underestimate Nakamura-san’s ironclad defenses.

I don’t know if they were shortening the MC for the DVD recording, but the MC felt short overall. Holy started suddenly too.

Yeah. I was actually looking forward to the usual rambling talk a little.

>150 Didn’t that cameraman see Yurippe’s panties?

Who did the title call for Over Drive?

They were jumping during Spiral, but wasn’t that against the rules?

I jumped like crazy lol

>207 It was. I just lifted my heels and bounced around on my toes.

>207 It was allowed in Fukuoka.

Was Yurippe’s roundhouse kick real? Could you see a lot of thigh at the time?

>197 >200 There have been a lot of panty-peek topics lately. I saw it this time too, but I was on the right edge of the stage, so the audience couldn’t see it. And it was more like a knee kick; she didn’t lift her leg up. Anyway, during the countdown show Yurippe said, “Apparently my panty peek has become a topic online,” so she knows about it too. She was probably careful this time.

There was a sign saying it was prohibited, but from around the third Spiral onward everyone was jumping with no restraint.

I wanted to hear more of Nana-sama’s talking. No matter what she says, Nana-sama has this cozy, gentle feel, so people laugh in Kansai. Those pauses are just her natural airheadedness. And getting mad with “Why are you laughing there?” is even more natural of her.

>4

>206 Yurippe herself.

>212 Don’t engage that guy.

>216 Thanks. So, to sum it up: Sendai: the old guy Fukuoka: Nana-san Everywhere else: Yurippe?

>214 “I worked so hard to come up with that bit!” She was seriously saying it. Still, I thought Nana-sama’s talking was good this time. At Namba Hatch in October, it was so rambling that I spat out my juice. She really didn’t seem like a lyricist back then.

The 2009 Ls were rambling overall. The atmosphere was tense and grim too.

>219 I think the MC during “Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete” was the truly god-tier one. She even went to the trouble of preparing a cue card, then went, “Erotic, I mean—not in a weird way. Oh no, what am I saying...” That was beyond the level even most Kansai comedians could pull off.

>214 I laughed there too, but when I thought about why it was funny, it was probably the unexpectedness of Nana-sama actually answering the question properly. From her point of view, saying, “Is this the part where you laugh? I actually thought this through!” was perfectly reasonable.

>212 What was her thigh like during the knee kick? Could you see a lot?

It’s not like she was actually furious lol

Nana-sama stories, please.

I bought two MINIQLO CDs, but then I heard during the MC merch-promo segment that they’d sold out, and I started feeling guilty.

You know, whenever they throw the conversation to Nana-sama during the MC, there’s this funny feeling in the venue like, “Are we sure it’s okay to hand this to the girl whose joke is impossible to predict?” Mochi’s jokes stay within the range you can predict, but Nana-sama goes beyond it. This time, though, Mochi’s cult-leader gag was on that level.

Unfortunately, there was no commercial on CDTV.

If I had to compare them: Okamocchi’s comedy bit is like a Yoshimoto comedian’s. Sugaya-san’s is like a talent’s bit on Quiz Hexagon.

>223 “Didn’t see much.” Is that really something to latch onto? >225 The thing that made me laugh hardest was probably the T-shirt-size bit after the encore. Yurippe introduced it by saying, “The leader is a size M, and Nana-sama is a size S,” then had the other members check the shirts they were wearing. Would you really go out of your way to have them check during the actual show in front of an audience? If they were holding the shirts, sure, but these were the clothes they were wearing.

Apparently the black long-sleeve shirts are made on the small side, while the red T-shirts are made on the large side. Maybe that’s how commercially sold shirts are too...

>229 That’s not quite it. Nana’s comedy is like that of a very clever kindergarten student.

>229 >Sugaya-san’s is like a talent’s bit on Quiz Hexagon. That comparison isn’t quite appropriate. Nana-sama’s jokes are beyond the mundane. >230 The merch promo manager said, “Use this as a reference when choosing your size,” so she probably thought it would be bad if she gave the wrong answer and caused buyers to choose the wrong size. The T-shirt-size bit had already come up at an earlier show, but she’d forgotten it. That feels very Nana-sama.

Should I buy headphones?

I want to lick Yurippe’s pussy.

>229 No, it’s not a calculated comedy bit. Everything she does and says naturally turns into a healing kind of joke. That’s a godlike level. I don’t think anything like it is possible on television today. >230 True, that scene was genuinely heartwarming. >233 Yeah, something like that.

There are way too many people who can’t read the mood. The guy who said he’d been fired from his company—don’t say something like that on the day they’re recording, idiot. And there was also a fujoshi shouting, “Okamocchi, marry me~” Do you people even realize what you’re doing? You’re making the members uncomfortable too.

>230 When she jumped during Spiral, how much thigh was visible? Was it a lot?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q0XzgjbtGQ&feature=related Things flying overhead and Over Drive I want to stay in a world blue as far as the eye can see Birds dance like confetti, so beautiful Riding the tailwind (skill?) Thinking of destinations still unseen Can turn it into precious anticipation (rise?) up

The “Okamocchi, marry me~” thing happens every time lol It was better than Tokyo.

Okamocchi, you can start turning them down now.

>237 It’s true, there were a lot of comments from people who couldn’t read the mood. But the GARNET CROW members were amazing for picking them up with a smile. Even aside from the whole “performers need an audience” thing. Including the MINIQLO segment. I went to two of the 2009 events (is “campaign” the right word?), and I think that kind of thing is somewhat okay at a small-scale event where the audience is close to the stage... But this time it was a paid concert, a place where singers are doing the absolute core of their job, so saying something like that was... well, you know?

>237 >“I got fired.” Technically, it was “I’m about to get fired.” Also, calling someone who says “idiot” an idiot is actually a compliment.

I want to lick Yurippe’s pussy.

Anyway, the tour ended safely. Great work, everyone.

They’re probably having illicit sex at the after-party right about now.

Is Yurippe moaning “ahh, ahh” in her cute voice right about now?

>64 This is based on my memory, so sorry if I got anything wrong. I feel like Jewel Fish was in there. 1. Tears of Yesterday 2. Mysterious Eyes 3. Natsu no Maboroshi 4. As the Dew 5–6.

After they did two MINIQLO songs, there was apparently someone who wanted them to do STAY too, shouting, “Two songs, three songs, what’s the difference~!” That was something else...

If you add songs, you have to pay JASRAC extra royalties. Even adding one song must’ve been difficult...

From next time on, skip Osaka and just make it a two-day show in Tokyo instead.

>239 Isn’t it “Even the thrill of riding a tailwind”? That part was hard to make out... Actually, I kind of feel like doing two MINIQLO songs was already planned from the beginning.

There was an MC about how people who go to every GARNET CROW show seem to be remembered by the GARNET members, and they wonder what those people do for a living. They should have weekends off if it’s Saturday and Sunday, sure, but... They say “Thanks as always” to the audience, while probably thinking inside, “Do you people even go to work?”

>190, 201 Yeah. I was sitting pretty far back this time, but this was the one moment when I was glad to be in the back... >194 This was my first show of the tour, so I hadn’t memorized the setlist. After what happened at Ninnaji, I learned my lesson and kept it somewhere I could pull it out right away.

>253 NEETs and the unemployed have the right to come to lives too. (said with a straight face)

At least memorize the intro to Holy Ground!

Saida, stay out of this. It has nothing to do with you.

GARNET really owes everything to Weekly Shonen Sunday.

>250 Even when the copyright holders themselves are performing it? Azuki-san and Furui-san weren’t there, but they did authorize MINIQLO to perform those songs, right?

I want to lick Yurippe’s pussy.

After the encore, during the size check that’s becoming a regular thing... Since Furui-san and Nana-san were both wearing black, the two of them came to the center and struck some kind of pose. Likewise, since Yurippe and Mochi were both wearing red, the two of them came to the center and struck some kind of pose. Yurippe: “Buy one from the merch table and copy us at home!” It was kind of cute. The lead-in to Over Drive afterward and everything too— the MC felt longer overall than in Tokyo.

>181 Thanks for the info. It might be hard to gain new fans~ >248 They did 30 songs!!!? In that case, asking for one more or asking them to do everything really was a little selfish... The regional shows already have fewer songs to begin with...^^;

>259 JASRAC’s system is worth learning about once. It’s the same for every singer. The creators entrust their copyrights to JASRAC, and then the singer has to obtain permission to “be allowed to sing” the song. So when they do something like a concert, the singer ends up paying JASRAC “to sing their own song.”

>248 Crystal Gauge is the one included on the MINIQLO album. I wish they’d put Rai・Rai・Ya on the MINIQLO album too... Of course, the version with just guitar and vocals.

>255 Sure, unemployed people and NEETs obviously have the right to go to lives, but those are exactly the people who make clueless comments like this time’s “I’m about to get fired.” Can’t they show a little more tact?

>263 If they didn’t entrust them to JASRAC, there wouldn’t be that cost.

>263 Sorry... I meant this as a reply to >259.

Wouldn’t copyright management be difficult if they didn’t entrust it to JASRAC?

Was there anyone at today’s live who looked like KAT-TUN’s Jin Akanishi? There was another guy who looked like a celebrity too, and women were asking him for handshakes. Anyone know who they were? I saw them on the way out, by the way.

>264 Thanks! I haven’t listened to the MINIQLO album yet. (I just got home.)

>248 Thanks for putting together the list. It really was a lot, huh. Is Yurippe okay? She’s been singing nonstop since last autumn. But without Yurippe, the show can’t really go on... Could the other three do an MC segment? If Furui-san hosted and the other two did the comedy bits, I think they could keep it going. Anyway, Yurippe, get plenty of rest.

>269 If you mean people who looked like Atsushi Ito, I saw tons of them!

>265 Even an unemployed person probably wouldn’t say, “I’m about to get fired.” Also, “I’m about to get fired” is a quick-witted kind of joke in Osaka comedy, which often uses self-deprecation. (I’m from Kyoto myself, so I couldn’t say something like that.) People who are used to self-deprecating humor won’t see it as a clueless comment. To make someone like that understand, you have to say it clearly: “Who uses unlucky words at a happy, celebratory live?!”

The GARNET CROW era is finally here!

Did last year’s Sendai show have a decent crowd?

When Mochi says, “I wonder what the people I always see do for work,” maybe he doesn’t realize they could be any number of things: ・Unemployed, NEETs ・Part-timers ・Civil servants ・Self-employed ・SEs and so on. Also, the clueless guy who said he was about to get fired claimed Yurippe was wearing a MINIQLO T-shirt. Is there really such a T-shirt? Did he make it himself? I think he was in section Ag on the first floor. Could this be it? http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j78162517

Maybe he’s been casually wondering what kinds of jobs the audience has. I’m a college student, though lol Yeah, the “I’m about to get fired” comment really surprised me. I couldn’t tell whether it was a joke or sarcasm, but either way I didn’t like it.

ARASHI.

I want to lick Yurippe’s boobs.

Are they going to release three DVDs: the live-house tour, the countdown live, and the Best Tour? I’d be happy if they did, but that would be rough on the wallet＾＾

>277 >“Whether it was a joke or sarcasm...” I could only take it as a joke.

>269 Wow, that’s impressive. Who was it? Anyway, I woke up and found everyone had written all kinds of stuff. Thanks, everyone (lol).

Is the Over Drive commercial on YouTube yet?

>276 >Mochi says he wonders what jobs the people he always sees have. I’m wondering why SEs are included... There are all kinds of SEs, of course, but most SEs are too busy to go to lives and stuff...

If they don’t entrust the songs to JASRAC, those lunatics will use them without permission.

You can’t rule out the possibility that they were forced to record GARNET Radio today so it could be updated tomorrow.

>248 I’m 64. Thanks. So it really was Jewel Fish. From around As the Dew onward I could barely make out the vocals, so this helped a lot. They say it’s going to become a DVD, but can mastering do anything about Yurippe’s vocals around that part?

The clueless comments have become a topic now. At a live they’re recording, someone says “I’m about to get fired,” or whatever. Would a normal person say that? And “Okamocchi, marry me~” isn’t a good thing to say either. Well, everyone’s probably looking at them sideways. >276 I have a friend who’s an SE, and apparently lots of them want to go to lives but are too busy to leave work on time.

>287 They can just pull it from one of the other shows.

Yurippe was truly wonderful. She was too dazzling. I want to listen carefully to Yurippe’s singing voice, so I’m fine with having a MINIQLO-style segment, but I think they should rotate who she’s paired with. It’s true that part of me is thinking, “I’m way too jealous of Okamoto-san.”

In the Mochi-mix Crystal Gauge PV, what song is the old guy playing on piano?

Now that the live tour ended safely, I’d like GANE★RADIO to be updated soon too.

>239 Thanks. It sounded like “thrill,” not “skill,” to me. Also, based on the pronunciation, isn’t it “raise,” not “rise”? There’s also something like “raise up”: http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1110333751

I only realized after the show that jumping was prohibited at the venue. Were people pretty restrained during Spiral? I was quite far forward, so what was it like in the back? I jumped like crazy. Sorry.

>284 From what I could see from the back, people were somewhat restrained at first, but eventually everyone was jumping.

>294 You should’ve checked at the beginning. It’s basic social etiquette... >295 Once Yurippe jumped, of course that’s what happened. She seemed to be holding back during the first chorus, though...

About the clueless comment: At first, the person who said, “This might be a little bad~,” had a pretty wholesome exchange. But maybe it was a mistake for Yurippe to then throw the conversation to that person as someone who always comes. He probably panicked and said “Fired!” I saw that clueless guy celebrating after the show because he’d gotten a response, and seeing that, I thought, well, no wonder he’d get fired lol

Why was jumping prohibited at that venue in the first place?

Maybe the floor would cave in?

>298 Because it’s on the fifth floor. It’d probably be fine on the first floor.

>298 That’s an unbelievably sheltered-generation question.

I watched the official live footage. Mirror Ball 2nd was good too, but I still feel like black clothes suit Yurippe better...... I guess people might make fun of her again by calling it funeral attire, though. I wonder what kind of fashion she likes when she’s wearing her own clothes... Anyway, I’m heading into town to look for a real-life Yurippe lookalike.

>302 A Kansai old lady (ry

Jewel Fish really is the best. It was nice how it got kind of rock-like in the live arrangement. When Yurippe blasted out the “hikigane wa ude no naka de~” part, I was completely satisfied.

Fukuoka was on the third floor too. Was jumping probably not okay there either?

>297 That clueless person is probably going to keep making clueless comments from now on. What an idiot. I thought they should at least think a little before speaking. It was sad seeing the members not know how to respond. Also, I have to apologize here too: I jumped. Sorry. Looks like they won’t be able to hold lives at Grand Cube anymore.

>298,300 Sure, there is a structural issue with it being on the fifth floor, but I think the bigger reasons are: It’s originally a conference center, with other halls and meeting rooms in use too. There’s a major hospital called Sumitomo Hospital directly to the south, with lots of inpatients. The Rihga Royal Hotel is directly to the east, with lots of guests staying there. With all those conditions together, I think jumping is simply something you shouldn’t do.

When you think about it that way, Grand Cube is kind of a lousy concert venue.

If several thousand people all jump at once on the fifth floor of a building, that’s going to get pretty serious.

Pretty much every venue in Osaka prohibits jumping, huh?

>310 It’s a fake city, that’s why.

It would’ve been fine to keep using Well City like before. They probably don’t prohibit jumping there either.

Event: GARNET CROW HAPPY 10th Anniversary livescope 2010 ～THE BEST TOUR～ Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010 Doors: 17:00　Show: 18:00 Contact: Sound Creator 06-6357-4400 http://www.sound-c.co.jp Details / Admission: All reserved seats, 6,000 yen Event: Ko Shibasaki kou shibasaki live tour 2010 ～Love☆Para～ supported by JACCS Date: Sunday, March 28, 2010 Doors: 17:00　Show: 18:00 Contact: Sound Creator 06-6357-4400 http://www.sound-c.co.jp Details / Admission: All reserved seats, 6,000 yen

>312 Koseinenkin Hall is closing at the end of March. Orix is buying it and plans to renovate it. It won’t be usable until autumn 2011, which is why the other venues are being used more. By the way, the organizers are also at fault for being so obsessive about banning photography and recording while not properly explaining why jumping is prohibited.

They should’ve built Dojima River Forum a lot bigger.

I wish that crappy GIZA venue, River Forum, would go under.

>314 Well, normally they’d make an announcement. But being unable to do normal things is exactly GIZA’s style...

As for album songs they’ve never performed live, is it basically just “holding you and swinging”? There should still be plenty of B-sides. Personally, I’d like them to do something like “Koufuku na Bed” (after the encore). What songs do you all want to hear?

>318 They performed “Holding you, and swinging” during the Twilight Valley tour.

They did “holding you and swinging” during TowaBare. I want them to do “Float world”!

GIZA, which can’t do normal things, paired with fans who can’t read the mood. I think the balance is pretty good.

>318 There’s no erotic song called “Happy Bed.”

>318 “Fill away.” It’s not like I especially love it, but I bet it would get the crowd going live.

I know “Happy Pet,” though.

Over Drive is way too good. They played it after the show too, and it was so fresh and bright that I became even more of a GARNET fan.

I want to make Yurippe my pet.

The song on this tour that made me casually think, “Oh, this is a really good song,” was Rainy Soul -Closer Soul’s Disco Remix-　　　http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wke-6aOkwGU but I guess this isn’t the kind of atmosphere where you can say that |彡ｻｯ

There were a ton of people waiting outside for the members to leave lol—about 30, maybe? I hung around for a bit on a whim too, and got to see Mochi and Furui-san come out together. If I was going to wait, I wish I’d seen AZUKI-san instead...

>318 Sorry to mention a single, but I want “Hare Dokei” included on the DVD... I’d also like to hear “His Voyage,” and maybe this is a little different, but “Seijaku no Aida ni.”

>327 Why can’t you say that? I like this song’s Disco Remix the best, so I really wanted them to perform it live. As for the jumping thing, maybe Furui-san didn’t know it was prohibited either? He was still giving the usual signal like, “All right, let’s go!”

>328 Apparently Azuki-san was the first one to leave.

>330 I wanted them to perform it live too. They did it on the previous tour, but it’s such a great song that it wouldn’t have been strange to include it in the Best Tour.

When did Yurippe leave?

>332 I really think so too. It was a shame that everyone ended up sitting down like it was a break time. I wanted to stay standing and let the music take me, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. (´・ω・`)ｼｮﾎﾞｰﾝ

That’s something you can only get on the CD.

Everyone, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed until now.... (lol) Looks like “Happy Pet” is the correct one... But judging from the lyrics, wouldn’t “Happy Bed” work too? It doesn’t feel wrong to me.

It’s good precisely because it’s “Pet.” Actually, “Pet” is even more erotic.

I want to hear “Kimi to Iu Hikari”... They never do it at all...

I want them to do “Yellow Moon.” It’s number one for me right now.

>327 What is this song included on?

Replying to myself: It’s on disc 2 of STAY, right?

>327 Thanks. It’s the limited edition B... I completely missed it orz

Apparently when TMR used Grand Cube for a live a long time ago, everyone jumped like crazy, and the neighbors complained, “Something is shaking.” Maybe that’s why? >> the jumping ban

The jumping ban started even earlier than that.

Okamocchi: “Over Juriiiive.”

>343 I don’t know when it started, but that is the reason. There was a notice somewhere on the fifth floor saying that vibrations would carry to the surrounding area. >311 I don’t know what you’re comparing it to, but if you mean Tokyo or Yokohama, Kanto gets frequent small earthquakes, so nearby residents probably don’t mind a little vibration as much. Also, Osaka has more places where halls are right next to ordinary homes, which may be part of it.

As punishment, let’s ban Osaka shows. From now on, Kansai can have Kobe shows or Kyoto shows instead.

>347 I’d like them to play quietly at a World Heritage temple in Kyoto or Nara.

>347 There’s no way Osaka will disappear when GIZA pushes it so hard.

http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org767132.jpg

>350 I don’t think there was an ice-skating rink near Grand Cube Osaka.

Sankei Digital is way too awful lol

It was my first live, and it was really great. I’d imagined it as a show where they just played songs steadily with no MC, so it felt more lavish than expected. I agree with >136 about Spiral. It was good as it was, but if they were going to drag it out that long, I wanted them to sing STAY too. Also, I guess the heckling during the MC is a Kansai specialty... The Rina Aiuchi show I went to in February had the worst audience manners, so this one seemed better by comparison. (The actual Aiuchi live was great, of course.) I also went to Watanabe Misato’s countdown live at the same Grand Cube this year, and there were idiots heckling in the same way there too. Still, this was a show that made me want to go if they have another live. Sorry for the long post.

Since around last year, there have been a lot more hecklers who look like students. We’re not your friends lol

Heckler: “Okamocchi, marry me~ lol” Heckler: “Furui-san, hold me~ lol” Nana: “Why are you laughing...?” Heckler: “Because Nana-san is cute~ lol” It was the same guy saying all of that.

During the live-merch T-shirt bit, someone heckled “Red Mocchi!” at Mochi, who was wearing a red T-shirt. Only the old guy thought it was funny.

Ban Osaka from next time on. They can do it in Hiroshima instead. Yeah, Hiroshima. People from Fukuoka and Osaka could meet up there perfectly.

Hiroshima lol

People living in North Kanto, the Japan Sea side of Honshu, southern Kyushu, and Okinawa have it rough with the live venues so far away. Though I’m from North Kanto myself... orz

http://up3.viploader.net/pic/src/viploader1188567.jpg

GARNET is the only major artist based in Osaka, after all. Everything else is Tokyo. Yes, all of it. Every last thing.

Then let’s have GARNET expand into Kanto too.

>362 I’ll ask Governor Hashimoto to stop it.

Then Hashimoto should be the one to allow jumping.

As long as they do shows in Tokyo, there’s no problem with keeping their base in Kansai.

I stayed one night in Osaka and just got back. I’m still in that post-festival state... It was my first time attending, and there were so many girls. The girl next to me was clutching her chest, totally moved, and kept shouting “Okamocchi! Okamocchi!” She must be a believer in the Okamoto religion. Yurippe can actually talk pretty well. I wanted to see the rambling MC too, though. The shadow of Yurippe’s ponytail on the wall to the left of the stage was beautiful. I forgot to take out the glow stick they gave us, so next time I’ll make sure to wave it.

The woman I didn’t know sitting next to me was freaking out over Nana with another woman. She kept saying, “She’s so cool” lol

Why not do Osaka at Zepp or NHK Hall?

>302 Was that official live footage from 2009? What does the “2nd” in Mirror Ball 2nd mean?

fu

ta

ri

>369 >Was that official live footage from 2009? Yeah. >What does the “2nd” in Mirror Ball 2nd mean? It’s the English word meaning “the second time.”

I wish they’d start the live earlier. I’m always on edge because it ends right around the time of the last train.

When will the next live be~?

>374 Yurippe asks that during Spiral every time, doesn’t she? (lol) “Is everyone okay for the last train~!” >375 Let them rest a little. They haven’t had a break since last autumn, right? Put up with GARNET Radio and promo events for a while. They have a new song coming out in April too.

>374 After she asks, “Are you okay for the last train?” if someone shouts, “It’s already dangerous!” I think they’d take it into consideration.

Spiral ends in about 15 minutes, right? “Are you okay for the last train?” always comes in the middle of the repeated chorus. Even if she says no, she’ll definitely say “One two three four” and repeat it again lol

>378 This is where you’re supposed to laugh. Don’t give a serious reply. Come to think of it, a Japanese song taking 15 minutes is pretty amazing (lol).

Tomorrow I want to send GARNET Radio a long, heartfelt message.

Speaking of heckling, I’m reminded of the guy at last year’s Akasaka live who made that lame comment to Nana. He was one of the group causing a ruckus in Kansai dialect too. Come to think of it, the woman who kept shouting “Okamocchi, marry me~” was sitting next to him lol Don’t come back ever again.

Have these people ever come to Okinawa?

Why do the people who always shout stupid stuff always have good seats?

People from Okinawa can come to Fukuoka or somewhere.

Over Drive is so fresh and good. It’ll probably rank pretty high among my favorite GARNET songs. I want to hear it in good sound quality soon.

>367 I’m a guy, but Nana wearing a hat during the first half was exactly what I’d call “cool.”

>373 What exactly does “Mirror Ball 2nd” refer to?

>383 Maybe they’re friends with someone involved in the show or something?

>387 She wore a mirror-ball outfit at a previous live, so this one is being called the second.

>387 I think the outfits at the TowaBare live were sparkly and got called mirror-ball outfits, so this similar outfit is being called Mirror Ball 2nd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYlXE_If2CI first mirrorballscope

>373 Thanks for answering in my place. >387 Mirror Ball 1st was the outfit from the 2006 Twilight Valley live. Mirror Ball 2nd is the outfit from this Best Tour. >386 Personally, I think hats suit Nana-san too, but I think brimmed hats suit her better. Come to think of it, both female members seem to look good in hats... By the way, Yurippe on the page slightly left of center in the pamphlet isn’t really my thing... OD looks like a pretty great song. But maybe the B-side is even better?? Anyway, the festival is over now... I want to say great work to them through that packed schedule. I hope they get to rest for a while and then make songs that satisfy the fans again (though it feels like they could probably write one during the tour too).

I hope they release another album this year. Or maybe do a livescope2010-2nd around autumn...

I was thinking of joining the fan club at yesterday’s live, but what can you actually do after joining?

>361 Suara. The label they belong to is a weak little Osaka label, but sales are outsourced to King Records.

I want them to do a Budokan live in the summer. If it’s on a weekend during summer vacation, it should be easier to draw a crowd.

>394 Membership card and a joining gift Fan newsletter (four times a year) Priority reservations for live tickets Original merch Mail-order sales of live merch E-mail updates (irregularly) and so on...

>366 >The shadow of Yurippe’s ponytail on the wall was beautiful. I was at the Tokyo show, but I know exactly what you mean~ I noticed the shadow halfway through the live and found myself gazing at it dreamily from time to time lol

I really do prefer having seats to an all-standing venue.

>394 There are fan events and things too. The newsletter is pretty risqué. The calendar is even more risqué.

>397 >400 Thanks. I’m joining lol What does “muhuhu” mean? lol Can you get multiple priority tickets for lives?

>401 You should make use of the official contact form. http://www.garnetcrow.com/fanclub/ I’m not a member, though...

I want them to do two days in Osaka. Or Osaka plus Kyoto...

>401 >What does “muhuhu” mean? lol For example, this year you get to see Yurippe in a tennis outfit. >Can you get multiple priority tickets for lives? There are limits. The way the limits work varies each time.

>401 Thanks. >404 Yurippe in a tennis outfit... *gulp*

I think people who heckle even though they know it’s being recorded are completely clueless. Saying things like “Okamocchi, marry me,” or the now-famous “I’m about to get fired,” is totally unacceptable! I saw a woman nearby saying “Okamocchi, marry me” too. Of course it’ll be cut in editing, but I wish people would show some common sense. Basically, I think there are just more stupid students and people who can’t read the mood now.

The cult-leader bit will probably get cut too.

>405 There’s a page of the calendar every year where the members dress up in costumes. For me, the flight-attendant Yurippe from a few years ago was the most muhuhu (old guy as the pilot, Mochi as the mechanic lol, Nana as the flight attendant).

>408 That was the 2009 calendar, right? Nana really suited the flight-attendant look lol No wonder cosplay is her hobby.

>374 I was worried about getting home too, so I couldn’t fully enjoy it. I wish they’d start earlier.

>408 I wish you’d told me sooner lol >409 I can never quite figure Nana out... Is she cool but secretly airheaded?

I don’t think she’s cool, though...

No, I think she looks cool. Inside, though, she’s... well, that.

The fan club also lets you listen to GANE★RADIO.

That? What exactly is “that”? Are you saying she has flowers growing in her head? That she’s a weirdo? That she’s putting on a character?!

http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org768342.jpg

Which feels better, Nakamura-san’s pussy or Sugaya-san’s pussy?

My impression is that she doesn’t initiate interactions with the members = “cool,” but once someone brings her into the conversation, she’s incredibly airheaded lol

I think she’s pretty talkative, though.

I wonder if anything will happen tomorrow.

>416 As the Dew has been played 372 times lol

You even carefully entered the composer information...

So the fan club fee is 4,000 yen for a year. I thought it was 4,000 yen a month. I hurriedly joined today.

>394 At lives, you get better seats than the ones sold to the general public.

It’s normal for the top of the rankings to be dominated by a handful of artists lol For me it’s mostly GARNET, ZARD, ELT, and Miho Komatsu. Plus a few anime songs here and there.

If they record the Fukuoka show next time, they won’t need to edit it... ＋Warm applause during the songs ＋Warm smiles even when the MC rambles ＋Spiral ends after about five times →It was originally supposed to end after three, but Kurose got carried away and started a fourth →Yurippe refused to lose and did one more ＋Everyone follows the rules properly. No one says, “Do everything.”

>425 Are you me? lol Lately it’s: GARNET, B’z, Mai Kuraki, ELT, Rina Aiuchi, anime songs.

>421 As the Dew is a god-tier song. I’ve listened to it a ton. 144 of my top 500 are GARNET songs lol >422 I worship Yurippe. I entered the readings and lyrics for every song too.

So people who like GARNET CROW really do like ZARD too lol

I wonder what Yurippe’s pubic hair looks like. I bet it’s sparse and neatly grown.

>414 Just hearing that GANE★RADIO is available makes me want to join the fan club immediately... Can you listen to past episodes too?

>431 Of course you can.

GANE★RADIO started last May, and you can listen to the previous eight episodes. Updates are irregular (though last year it was about once a month).

I was toward the back of the second floor, but that meant I could see the whole venue, which was nice. The glow sticks during Holy ground were especially fantastical and gave me goosebumps. Lives really are great. The unity in the venue is incredible.

>432, >433 Thanks for the info!!! I’m thinking of joining right away. Do I just fill out the membership-only payment form? Sorry for asking so many questions...

Is GANE★RADIO limited to fan-club members? >434 Holy ground really is great. I was looking around the venue too, completely moved.

Sheltered generation. So annoyyyyyying

>435 Fill out the membership-only form ↓ Pay at your nearest post office (counter or ATM). The ATM fee is cheaper.

For fan letters, be sure to write: “GARNET CROW ～-sama” Letters addressed to Yurippe, Nana-sama, the old guy, or Okamocchi won’t be accepted.

How much thigh was visible when she jumped during Spiral? Was it a lot?

I took a phone photo of the “NO JUMPING” sign as a souvenir of my trip to Osaka. You don’t see them very often at venues in Tokyo.

>439 If you write “AZUKI Nana-sama,” they’ll think it’s a prank, so you should address it to her real name, Sugaya-san.

>438 Thanks for everything!!!

>441 I think I saw you. I was thinking, “What are you taking a picture of? lol” Though there may have been other people too.

I want to lick Yurippe’s pussy.

Joining the fan club is a given, but buy all the CDs and DVDs too. Renting them or downloading from YouTube is completely out of the question.

>446 I’ve bought everything since Tears of Yesterday. There are bonuses for the different versions. I bought both the first-press and regular editions of LOCKS and Hyakunen no Kodoku, and both first-press editions of Doing STAY.

If they released a swimsuit photobook of Yurippe, I’d happily buy it.

Going to the live made me love GARNET even more, but I’m an exam student now, so I have to keep it under control... I have no idea how to restrain myself.

>449 Study while playing soundscope on infinite repeat. It won’t get in the way.

Do people even fail entrance exams these days?

http://hochi.yomiuri.co.jp/osaka/gossip/entertainment/news/20100328-OHO1T00144.htm >Yuri Nakamura (32) They printed her age again lol

>450 The first album?? Hmm, yeah, if I listen to something while studying now, it’s that one, but before I know it I’m looking at the lyrics or humming along... Dangerous...

I went to the Osaka finale. It was a wonderful live. I was moved. Yurippe’s singing ability is the real deal. It sounded close to the CD, but she’s improved dramatically since around Ninnaji. I wonder if she figured something out.

>453 Calm down with Holy ground lol

>453 Just memorize the lyrics. The point is to decide, “This is what I listen to while studying.”

>455 Can I really do that? I keep wanting to come here, and I end up visiting the official website too...

>452 So what? I actually like people around that age, since they have a certain richness to them. Anyone who can only judge people by their age is scum.

>449 I don’t think there’s much difference between rushing to take the entrance exams now, getting into college and graduating, or taking a gap year. Being good at schoolwork doesn’t make you a successful person in life, you know?

>458 No lol The issue is protection of personal information. Where in >452’s post does it say they can only judge people by their age?

>458 There was an article about the free live the other day where her age was initially listed, but it was deleted afterward. I wasn’t saying anything about her age being good or bad.

Happy 10th anniversary.

Aaaaaaah! Daaaamn it, I screwed up!

>457 The analysis thread on the Japanese music board is more interesting and actually makes you think. This place is full of idiots, so stay away.

Oh, is that what you meant? I was being a little oversensitive. I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

>449 For someone as troubled as you, I recommend “nonsense.” “The equation I learned last week~ I’ll have forgotten it by tomorrow~ Cramming useless things into my head, dead a few weekdays~ whoa whoa whoa~”

Does anyone know the details of “la-la-la, Sorekara 1・2・3”? Like what kind of song it is or what the lyrics are about.

>467 Maybe it’ll be the final song starting with the next live? They’ll wave their hands like usual, make the 1-2-3 finger poses, and jump.

Happy 10th anniversary, GARNET!! >464 >466 Thanks... ＞＜ Everyone connected with GARNET is so kind.

>452 GARNET CROW gives a passionate performance in Osaka, their hometown, at the final show of the tour The four-member band GARNET CROW, celebrating its 10th anniversary since debut, held the final show of its seven-city national tour at Grand Cube Osaka on the 27th. Vocalist Yuri Nakamura (32) said, “I’m very happy that we were able to celebrate the finale with everyone here in our hometown of Osaka,” expressing her gratitude. They performed a total of 30 songs in front of 2,600 fans, including their new song “Over Drive” (to be released April 14), the theme song for the animated film “Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky,” which opens April 17.

>448 I’ll seriously say that rather than a swimsuit photobook, I want them to release a yukata photobook from the event at Kyoto Shinpukan last August. That was seriously cute. Moe~... Though Yurippe is turning an age with matching digits this year. Nana-sama is in her zodiac year... What am I doing with my life (ry

>471 Just listen to GARNET’s songs. That’s enough, isn’t it?

>471 Nana-san’s zodiac year was last year.

Forget the swimsuit stuff; just release a photobook of Yurippe.

Happy 10th anniversary.

Happy 10th anniversary, GARNET CROW!!! And thank you, truly. This is personal, but I only became a fan around this time last year. Today, the 29th, is GARNET’s 10th anniversary, and tomorrow, the 30th, is my 20th birthday. When I think about it that way, it feels pretty profound~ Happy 10th anniversary again! Yurippe, Nana-sama, the old guy, Mochi, and GARNET CROW, please keep taking care of us. Make lots of great songs!

Congrats on 10 years.

Happy 10th anniversary!!!! >476 Happy birthday to you too, a little early!!! Let’s keep supporting them together as fans. My only request is that they don’t push themselves and build up stress. Keep going as you have been, and if that gets too hard, it’s okay to cut back on the work a little. I just want this miraculous group called GARNET CROW to keep going without losing a single member!!! Happy 10th anniversary, truly.

Back from my Osaka GARNET trip lol This is the exclusive thread for GARNET CROW fans who are also fans of ARASHI, Hey!Say!JUMP, NYC, and B.I.shadow.

The stage set was great this time lol It reminded me of Hey!Say!JUMP’s winter-concert set. It was a shame the screen area was small, though lol Also, Yurippe aggressively pushing the merch was adorable lol And Yurippe forcing everyone to jump during Spiral even though Grand Cube bans jumping was the best!!!! I want to go to another GARNET CROW live!!!!

Does the new song “Over Drive” sound like that other song to anyone else!? It sounds like a mix of Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Christmas Eve” and ARASHI’s “Everything” lol

>478 Thanks! Yes, absolutely!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn4ehD2klLM That Music Station appearance was fun. Nana-san was cute too. The lineup of guests was amazing. Yurippe looks a lot prettier now than she did around 2002–2003, when she was just starting to appear in the media.

>483 When Yurippe laughs at 0:40, it looks like her chest is moving. Does the clothing around a guy’s chest move like that too when he laughs while shaking his shoulders? Or does it only move like that for women who have breasts?

March 29, 2010 GARNET CROW Happy 10th Anniversary Day Congratulations.

I really hope this version of Over Drive gets added to the Being channel on YouTube too.

The glow stick is still glowing lol

I saw this in another thread: Is it true, or just bait, that Yurippe and Mochi are going to announce their engagement in June? (´･ω･｀) They say it’s insider information, but surely it’s just bait, right? Yurippe and Mochi wearing rings, suddenly forming MINIQLO, and the two of them working together more often...

Yurippe was 32? Do we know the other members’ ages?

It’s true.

>481 I think so too. “Christmas Eve” is pretty blatant lol

>489 No way that’s happening.

Apparently the ringtone download for the new song just started on RecoChoku.

Congrats on 10 years.

>489 That’s not happening lol Nana’s getting to an age where it’s harder to keep pushing her to the front, so I guess they’re going to put the younger duo up front from now on. If GIZA goes bankrupt and they move to another company, I think they’ll downsize to MINIQLO.

Congratulations. I love Yuri Nakamura, AZUKI Nana, Hiroto Furui, and Mochi. I love the GARNET CROW fans too. I love every GAENTE CROW work and song.

If they announced an engagement, a huge chunk of the moe otaku would probably disappear lol Like that musician who drinks a lot and announced his marriage the other day lol

No problem, since I can have fun with the Yarippe jokes lol The ones who’ll disappear are the yuri otaku lol

There are a lot of yuri otaku, after all.

Happy 10th anniversary. I’m very proud of them as the only major artist based in Kansai. I sincerely hope they continue to thrive.

>488 Nice~

Good evening, everyone. I’m Yuri Nakamura, vocalist of GARNET CROW. Today, our group GARNET CROW celebrates its 10th anniversary since debut. To mark our 10th anniversary, with the meaning of continuing forever, we have changed our group name to Endless Garnet Crow. When are we getting a prank diary entry like this~?

>494 I downloaded it! They put it right on the front page with “must buy,” which made me happy (lol) I also properly entered the giveaway for the special aluminum bottle lol

GARNET CROW is the best!! The 10th anniversary is the best!!

You there who said you’re an exam student, go study. I was an exam student last year and cut myself off from a lot of distractions. I still went to the October live, though lol I worked hard and got into one of the old imperial universities.

Crows live for 10 to 20 years.

Huh, they still haven’t updated the diary?

The tour is over, so there’s no need to rush the update.

No, today is the 10th anniversary, right? I thought they might write something.

Oh, right...! Maybe there’s something on the fan-club website. Someone who knows, let me know.

Nope. Nothing’s been updated.

I want to sniff Yuri-san’s panties right after she takes them off.

>513 Strongly agreed.

Daily *4　ARASHI

Daily *4　ARASHI

Daily *4　ARASHI

Why is Yuri-san so beautiful?

I’m firmly on Team Nana normally, but whenever I go to a live, my feelings start leaning toward Yurippe...

The official site posted a Conan preview notice. The tour’s special site is gone. For some reason, the Osaka live is still being completely ignored with no comments about it. Did the people involved scold them for jumping?

Where’s GANE★RADIO~?

The official site has been hijacked by Conan.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm10196137 A god-tier engineer has appeared.

Happy 10th anniversary!!

Over Drive is way too good.

I want to ejaculate inside Yurippe’s vagina.

Yuri-san is too beautiful. Looking at her makes my chest ache.

Over Drive got a pretty lukewarm reception after its first performance at the Tokyo live, but it’s actually a really good song, isn’t it?

What on earth did heaven give Yuri-san?

GARNET CROW songs are all good songs. TV appearance info April 4 (Sun), NHK, 18:10 — “MUSIC JAPAN,” live broadcast

I ejaculated inside Yurippe’s vagina.

At the Osaka show, didn’t Yurippe not jump down from the drummer’s area during Spiral?

It’s a truly memorable day, but it looks like the official site isn’t updating anything.

Stublog really needs to rethink its blog title.

I wish my penis and Yurippe’s vaginal flesh could get all sticky and tangled together so they couldn’t separate.

I want Yuri-san’s egg and my sperm to combine.

http://www.ntv.co.jp/kinro/lineup/20100416/index.html I wonder if a GARNET song will play on Friday Roadshow.

Mai-chan’s song will play, though lol

>528 Maybe people thought it was underwhelming because the song was completely different from what everyone expected from the title “Over Drive.”

It’s a grower. A grower lol

When I first heard Over Drive at the International Forum, I was like, “Huh?” But hearing it a second time in Osaka changed my impression a little. It feels like one of those songs that gets tastier the more you listen to it. The bit that sounds a little like Tatsuro Yamashita might make someone start yelling plagiarism, though...

>537–538 When a Conan movie is shown on Friday Roadshow, cutting the ending theme is standard practice.

I wonder how they see the fans at lives. Do they think, “This person only buys the albums,” or, “This is an anime otaku who only gets excited for the Conan songs”?

>542 You mean in the preview, right?

Oh no!! I forgot to download it within 48 hours. orz.......

>544 The commercials too.

>528 Maybe after singing it so many times at lives, Yuri-san got used to it herself, so it became easier on the ears.

Over Drive feels like a song that could even be used as a Studio Ghibli theme.

>540–541 When it comes to GARNET songs, they really are all growers. It feels like it’s been a while since I was this excited for a CD release.

I can’t seem to feel anything but negative about it. I’ll rent it first and see how it is.

>550 What about the B-side!? The official site got updated too.

GANE★RADIO got updated too~

All the members are here ｷﾀ━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━!!

Everyone’s here!

But it’s hard to make out what they’re saying. It’s mostly noise.

What’s GANE★RADIO?

>556 It’s a radio show made by the members that you can access on the fan-club members-only site.

Can you hear the new song on it?

>556 See Ganera. It’s a woman named Ganera.

You can hear the new song as background music, and the second half comes through normally!

It’s technically the next day now, but happy 10th anniversary~ GANE★RADIO was fun too.

>557 Upload it, upload it!

It’s already on YouTube.

At the Osaka show, didn’t Yurippe not jump down from the drummer’s area during Spiral?

Has Yurippe ever answered fans’ messages on the radio or somewhere in a sexy voice as fan service?

>483 Yurippe keeping the rhythm with her left hand right before the big final chorus is so cool. Also, PON twirling his drumsticks around 3:30 is cool too.

Time to masturbate to Yuri and go to sleep.

I wonder when the official-site video was filmed. Was it during the tour?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm10210076 Full transcription of the “Over Drive” lyrics omitted.

“The skybound love sways in Over Drive.” The line “Hey, come down and show me your innocent smile” got skipped. Your heart slips through like the wind.

It’s not “I want to go to a world blue as far as the eye can see.” Shouldn’t it be “I want to be in a world blue as far as the eye can see”?

It’s not “the cloudy thing riding the tailwind.” Shouldn’t it be “even the thrill of riding a tailwind”?

>562 You’re going to join G-NET too.

Seriously, the update time is too late. I’d already gone to sleep yesterday.

Another full transcription of the “Over Drive” lyrics, with the corrected wording: Full lyrics omitted.

>541 It sounds a little like the “Silent night, oh yeah” part lol

>569 Another transcription and correction of the “Over Drive” lyrics. Full lyrics omitted.

The old guy is getting teased nonstop lol

>577 Thanks! Looks like some parts were still wrong~

>577 The way she sings the “things flying overhead” part with a slightly wistful feeling is great (・∀・)ｲｲ!!

>483 Nana-san is always cute. Though her chest was smaller than it is now (ry

Yurippe is a goddess.

I wonder if they’ll appear on Music Station~

Why wasn’t wish★ included on the best album?

The lyrics are easier to make out this time.

“I’m waiting for the day I meet the real you”...?? It makes it feel like Ran knows Conan’s true identity...

I want Yuri-san to tell me, “I want to be closer to you.”

Over Drive really is a god-tier song.

The staff diary has a nice feel too. Nana-san is beautiful...

I want to take a leisurely walk while listening to Over Drive during the fresh-green season.

>589 Is the blurred person in the back Furui-san?

I want to watch the cherry blossoms with Yurippe, just the two of us, and reenact the Yume Mita Ato de PV.

>587 Nana-san just needs to put that line into a song.

>584 Probably because it wasn’t a single. It looks like it was left off disc 3 too, but there are various reasons (ry

I thought the FC-only comment had been uploaded for the general public too, but it’s just a short version.

When I enlarged the G-NET comment video, Yurippe’s expression was unbearably cute.

Can’t they do something about the noise on GANE★RADIO?

>595 What was it about on the FC version? Just give me the gist.

Mochi cried.

What!? ...Please tell me specifically. I’m begging you. I only made my fan-club payment yesterday, so I can’t watch it yet~

It’s about the same size as the enlarged version made public. All four left comments. (Mochi cried.)

...Tell me what the comments said lol Did they mention the live, by any chance? (Like what they enjoyed most.)

(´･ω･) “For details, please ask at the merch counter.”

......Got it.

I want to swear eternal love with Yuri-san.

>577 “Hey, come down and show me your innocent smile” → Isn’t it “Look into my eyes and show me your innocent smile”?

http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014025.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014026.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014027.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014028.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014029.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014030.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014031.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014032.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014033.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014034.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014035.jpg http://sukima.vip2ch.com/up/sukima014036.jpg

>606 It really is “Look into my eyes~.”

The hype is fun, but I’d like to hear a normal version of Spiral live too.

The official site got updated!! April 14, 2010 (Wednesday), from 16:00~ All four GARNET CROW members are scheduled to hold an “Over Drive” release event at Urban Dock LaLaport Toyosu in Tokyo. Could the April 14 mentioned in Kaito Kid’s warning letter be referring to this release event? Will Kaito Kid appear at LaLaport Toyosu? ...Has it really been that long since all four members appeared at an event together? Or is this the first time?

What part of the lyrics from >577 overlaps with “Silent night, oh yeah”?

Wouldn’t it be fresh if they opened a live with Spiral?

>483 They were already being cursed by a certain idol group back then.

>611 The very beginning.

I listened to GANE★RADIO, and GARNET really does need Mochi... (　´ω｀)

>615 He rescued the old guy from being bullied by S-Yurippe, only to be betrayed by the old guy immediately afterward lol

The word “night” overlaps too, which is unfortunate (that’s the similar part, right?). Maybe while writing the lyrics absentmindedly, she accidentally dug it out of her memory...?

>611 I thought it was “Christmas Eve” lol

>610 Where was it posted?

>614 Thanks. So the lyrics are similar. I wonder if the melody is similar too. As for the melody, it feels a little like Olivia Newton-John’s “Have You Never Been Mellow.”

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm10210076 It sounds similar.

>621 It really does. The melody is the same. Still, I think this level of overlap is probably fine.

Another full transcription of the “Over Drive” lyrics, with several corrected lines. Full lyrics omitted.

>619 Sorry, it’s a mobile site... ttp://vsong.being.co.jp/special/garnet/conan/event.html That’s the special site. I’m jealous of people in Tokyo...

If it rains, the mini live will be canceled and it’ll be a poster handover event only. hitoshi...

Conan: “I want to protect Over Drive together with Yurippe.”

Still, this must be exhausting. Yurippe looked tired even when she was falling apart. Once the Over Drive promo settles down, I hope they let her rest until autumn.

>624 It’s a weekday. I have work... Could I skip it? In April, students have school too, so at that time only NEETs can go.

I’m so jealous of people in Tokyo. >628 There’ll probably be people who take paid leave just to go. A poster handover event, huh.

The four of them being in Tokyo on release day—could that mean a rare TV appearance is coming?

I want to skip school...

If it’s just a mini live and a poster, it’s not worth going.

Weekly singles chart *5　16,221　ARASHI — “Troublemaker” “Over Drive” sounds incredibly similar in style to Tatsuro Yamashita’s “Christmas Eve” and ARASHI’s “Everything” lol I preordered it on Amazon immediately lol. Fourteen days until release.

It’s totally worth it.

ttp://www.mori-zukuri.jp/file/member/20091104031936-1.jpg Similar, but not similar. Not similar, but similar.

>632 I became a fan at the event in Lazona Kawasaki, so for me this event is worth taking a day off work to attend.

Since it’s a Conan-related mini live, if they do multiple songs, maybe they’ll do the Britney version of Natsu no Maboroshi or something. Though they probably won’t. >635 It doesn’t look similar at all.

At most, a Kaito Kid mascot costume might show up.

I feel like he’ll show up at some movie theater.

I want to go to the mini live... >635 Who is that?

April TV appearance info!! Excluding regular programs: 4/4 (Sun) — Oshare-ism — Sakurai-kun 4/9 (Fri), 4/10 (Sat), 4/11 (Sun), 21:00~ — Fuji TV 50th-anniversary drama “Waga Ie no Rekishi” — Matsujun 4/12 (Mon) — Jinsei ga Kawaru 1-pun-kan no Ii Hanashi SP — Aiba-chan 4/17 (Sat) — Tensai!

GARNET CROW

CARNET GROW

GARNET CROW

GAPNET CPOW

The ZAQ restriction has been lifted.

Doesn’t Okamura get stressed from not playing the guitar harder? I’m worried the stress will make him ejaculate at Yurippe...

>648 He probably does that regularly backstage. He’s a professional in front of the audience. Also, get the name right. And sage the thread.

>595 You said it was uploaded for the general public too. Where was it uploaded?

I haven’t rented a Fujisaki Rio video in a while, so maybe I’ll get one. By the way, are there any AV actresses who look like Nana-sama?

GANE★RADIO played normally on my computer, but when I put it on my iPod after doing the (〇☆×) processing, it gets an absurd amount of noise. Is it just me? (This never happened before orz)

Just do “Skinny” and it’ll be fine.

>651 Nao.

Yuri and Nana are in Tokyo~ That’s rare~ I’m so jealous of Tokyo.

I’m kind of looking forward to Azuki saying something outrageous about Conan.

> Saegusa Kokoro?

↑Mistyped that... >635 Saegusa Kokoro?

I’m jealous of the people in Kanto. But I feel like they shouldn’t hold this kind of event in Osaka.

Why? Because there are too many hecklers? Come to think of it, which live was it where those people heckled Nana last year?

And then Kansai got one too.

>660 In Osaka, I figured Conan-kun would get heckled.

I thought I could skip it if it was just MiniQLO, but this time the whole band is going to be there... (・ω・｀；) Should I take the day off work? (How many hours do these events usually take?)

>663 Last October at Nishinomiya, the mini-live itself was 30 minutes, and before that (around 20–30 minutes before the show) they came out and sang a little bit. (It was probably a little extra service since it was shorter than the Kawasaki one.) After the mini-live, they handed out postcards.

>664 Thx! There are four of them, so maybe ×2 (ry...

【Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens 4F Sky Garden】 Date: Sunday, April 18 Time: 12:00~ Location: Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens 4F Sky Garden A free LIVE will be held to celebrate the release of GARNET CROW's new single “Over Drive” on April 14. GARNET CROW's Nakamura (Vo.) and Okamoto (Gt.) will be appearing at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens for the second time!

■【Urban Dock LaLaport Toyosu Main Stage】 Date: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 Time: 16:00~ Location: Urban Dock LaLaport Toyosu Main Stage 2-4-9 Toyosu, Koto-ku, Tokyo http://toyosu.lalaport.jp/index.shtml Details: mini LIVE & poster handout event. * The “Over Drive” posters will be handed directly to you by the members. * All members will participate. Important point here ↓ * This is not a handshake event. Please refrain from shaking hands.

They said it was forbidden, but a lot of people shook hands at the last event.

Only two people at Hankyu, huh.

Even though it's their home turf in Kansai... Conan-kun is coming to Tokyo too, so I wonder if there'll be at least a little press/media coverage (-.-;)

Nana-sama's favorite cities: Fukuoka >> Tokyo >> Osaka, y'know. She said it at a live too... I really like Fukuoka. It's like they give you such a warm welcome at the live venue.

Anyone wondering “Why is the local event a mini-Crow?” is a total newbie. Meanwhile, those of us thinking “Why are there four people in Tokyo?” and jumping to the conclusion “Yay, they're going on terrestrial TV!” are the pros.

I wanna walk down the street holding Yuri-san's hand.

Why is Yuri-san so damn beautiful?

Because she is beauty itself.

>668 Apparently that's what happened in Kawasaki. But apparently nobody asked to shake hands in Nishinomiya.

If I go to Nishinomiya, do you think I'll at least get to talk to them a little?

GIZA should thoroughly weed out the guys who break the rules trying to shake hands with my Yurippe.

Wasn't the Kawasaki handshake thing more like this: A person in a wheelchair held out their hand, Yurippe and the others couldn't really refuse and shook it, then everyone followed suit and it turned into a handshake event?

So they took advantage of Yurippe's kindness. What a bunch of scumbags.

Disabled people are seriously disgusting. They act like a burden on the entire country.

Even if we give the first person a pass, why the hell didn't the staff stop all the “me too, me too” people afterward?

The first wheelchair user couldn't really be helped. I understand why Yurippe reached out her hand too. But the people afterward should've been completely weeded out by the GIZA staff. Especially since there are four members at the Tokyo event this time. Honestly, there are clearly some Azuki fans who are way more dangerous than the Yurippe fans.

The old-man fans are fine, though, right?

Protecting the artists is all up to the staff, after all. GIZA's staff kind of give me the impression that they're unreliable. Please, get your act together this time.

I bet that gets insanely tiring, yet they keep doing it.

Forced windshield-wiper waving lol Yurippe is adorbs.

I wanna tour Kyoto's shrines and temples with Yuri-san, then eat a bento she made for lunch.

Daily chart 10　ARASHI

>652 Solved it myself. Apparently I recorded with the mic still turned on, so the noise from my room got recorded too. ＼(^O^)／

The lyrics to “Over Drive” capture the relationship between Ran and Conan really well, don't they? It's like the whole scene comes floating up when you close your eyes. Nana-san is amazing too.

Did she write the lyrics with Conan in mind?

Nana-sama read every volume when it was Hokuto, and when it was MÄR Heaven too, after all.

Especially with Hokuto, Azuki was reading it without any tie-in involved in the first place.

“I'm waiting for the day I meet the real you” sounds pretty Ran-to-Conan to me... Anyway, can't really say anything until I see the movie.

It has been decided that “Monster” will be the theme song for the NTV Saturday 9 p.m. drama “Kaibutsu-kun.”

The feeling of a guy entering my vagina is just unbelievable. It feels sooooo good.

>692 Nana-sama explicitly said so in Nagoya.

Ah, Yuri asked Nana about the lyrics, and little Nana-chan answered, “Because it's a tie-in,” leaving Yuri exasperated again.

All right, I'm gonna smear semen all over my hands and shake hands. ＾＾

Yurippe might be shaking hands with the hand she masturbated with too, you know?

>677 If you buy a CD at the designated shop or at the venue, I think you'll be able to say at least a word or two while they hand it over.

http://video.fc2.com/a/content/%e3%83%95%e3%82%a7%e3%83%81%e3%82%b7%e3%83%aa%e3%83%bc%e3%82%ba-02%e3%80%80%e9%bb%92%e9%ab%aa%e7%be%8e%e4%ba%ba%e3%81%ae%e7%b6%ba%e9%ba%97%e3%81%aa%e5%ad%90%e5%ae%ae%e5%8f%a3%ef%bc%81/ 20100328BXkKxRCK/&PHPSESSID=2f9cb0848b3f7b2532857cc212e90192 I want Yurippe to do this too!!

>703 NSFW.

>703 Whoa... so that's what the inside of a pussy looks like...

>703 Get blown away by a Claymore.

He must be wearing rubber gloves just to be safe.

She's beautiful and talented, so why doesn't she sell?

Because there's no buzz. She'd probably be a top-tier seller by GIZA's current standards, though. People who get hooked by the lyrics must love her.

How can we get Yurippe and Nana-san's superior genes passed on to the next generation?

If you don't have a huge hit right after debuting, it's tough. I think just staying steady is already impressive. There must be people who are even prettier and more talented but still don't sell. I don't think there are any examples of someone growing from this level of name recognition, sales, and image. The closest would be Koda Kumi, maybe, but she succeeded through tie-ins and creating buzz.

One week until ARASHI's 5×10 DVD and NYC's Yūki 100% are released.

This level of popularity is just right. It'd be a problem if they got so popular that live tickets became impossible to get.

GARNET has this nice, slightly homey feel, rather than feeling like just another artist.

It'd be nice if they got popular enough to sell out tickets in the regions too... But this single looks like it'll sell pretty well. It's a fiercely competitive release week, so getting high on the charts will probably be tough, though.

Yurippe and... No, I want to let her rest for now.

I wonder what Kaitou Kid is going to do at the event.

Maybe he'll crash the Over Drive part of the mini-live, and then the old man will fend him off with some slick moves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6g28APFGgs This is different from the one that aired on Conan last week. The GaneClo PV footage is the same, though. Yurippe is cute as hell.

Wait, this is the Being channel.

The Being channel on NicoNico doesn't have any videos, but it does have a link.

>717 Kaitou Kid tries to kidnap Yurippe, but Yurippe unleashes a brutal kick and he ends up tumbling off the stage. I think Yurippe was practicing those kicks during “Spiral” at the Osaka live to prepare for this event.

Nobody's prettier than Yurippe.

>722 Why would she practice during the actual performance? lol

“as the dew” is a great song. Okiya-san appears in it too.

The limited BEST edition arrived~ I thought the package would be white, but it's pink♪

Well, I'm not seeing the movie, but I'm definitely getting the Over Drive CD.

>694 Is Nana, who reads Hokuto, kind of an old lady?

>719 Yurippe is so damn cute it's dangerous.

>728 She's a big sister.

I wanna borrow money from Yurippe.

>728 Round it off and she's 30.

>728 >732 Age doesn't matter in the face of that insanely adorable cuteness.

Why did it suddenly get uploaded to the YouTube Being channel?

http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000059802 GARNET CROW: “The song's gonna get stolen—Conan-kun, help!”

>735 BARKS always writes articles about them.

>710 All they have to do is take my dick into their pussies. Then I just have to abstain for a week and shoot my thick semen right at their cervixes.

>737 I can totally picture the look on both their faces after reading this lol.

I can't remember the choreography lol. I knew someone from the Showa era couldn't do it lol. Right now, Johnny's Net is streaming Yamada and Chinen's choreography video for NYC's “Yūki 100%”!! Hey! Say! JUMP's spring tour starts tomorrow!! I'm going to the show tomorrow lol. I went to Gane's BEST tour a week ago and got totally wiped out lol. I've had a nasal voice and feel feverish since yesterday……… I have nothing planned tomorrow, so I'll take it easy at the hotel.

This place is way too horny. Gross lol.

Not quantity, stamina lol. I'm going to bed now w.

Someone involved made this suggestive comment: “I would've thought stealing the work was impossible... GARNET CROW's members are scheduled to hold an event in Tokyo on April 14, the release date, and it'd be reassuring if Conan-kun were there...”

>737 Bzzzt! Wrong! The correct answer is putting my genes into both their reproductive organs. ＾＾

>743 The two of them would definitely be happier if I shoved in my thick, long dick. I could stretch and work their vaginas every day, pushing right up against the cervix. Can your reproductive organs do the same thing??

Apparently the people in the first-floor seats sat down during the Mini CROW section of this live. When Yurippe bowed during the Mini CROW section, could you see her cleavage?

The only cleavages on Yurippe's body are her ass and, um... you know? That's all, right?

I live in Tokyo, but I can't go to Toyosu on the 14th because of work, so I'm traveling to Nishinomiya. If I buy a CD that day, I'll get a poster, right?

I listened to “Over Drive.” Silent nightーーー Oh yeahー Yamadate w He copied it way too much, right down to the “Oh yeah” wwww

You mean the cleavage between the labia majora and labia minora? Her breasts are certainly... but that's what makes it good.

During the Mini CROW section of this live, did the people in the first-floor seats listen sitting down?

Everyone was standing up.

I feel like my sex drive is about to explode. Tonight I want to dream about pinning down an unwilling Yurippe and having sex with her... But it feels so empty when I have to wash my own underwear after a wet dream.

>744 Upload it then, you shrimp-dick lol.

>735 > “The song's gonna get stolen—Conan-kun, help!” Is Yurippe the one saying that? It sounds like she'd deliver it completely deadpan. >747 Yeah. Apparently they'll be selling CDs at the venue too.

Lick... Th-this is!! Thirty-year-old virgin...!!

These replies are getting pretty vulgar(´･ω･｀)

>756 Lately we've had Johnny's-style trolls and horny trolls. Same old thing. I'm used to it by now. Just ignore them.

>750 There may have been a few people standing, but I think almost everyone was sitting.

The “Over Drive” PV is beautiful. It's bright, the complete opposite of “As the Dew.” They should've included both songs' PVs while they were at it.

>758 What was Yurippe wearing? Was it something with a pretty low neckline?

Yurippe's legs do spread pretty wide, though.

>748 Yamadate's new song is also being released on April 14 lol. His previous one was released on August 19 too, the same day as “Hana wa Saite...” lol.

I watched the new song's PV. Yurippe is cute. She really is cute, but her legs look a little short, so her proportions seem kind of... off, which is a shame. Yurippe looks better in bootcut pants, if you ask me. I think cool-cute suits her better than soft-cute. As for the important part, the song is so fresh and clean that it doesn't really feel like GARNET... It's refreshing in a way. Nana-san would probably say they made it into a spring-like song. My recent favorite is “Yasashii Ame.” I think it's another god-tier song, but they haven't played it live, have they? It isn't exactly a very live-friendly song, but I'd really like them to do it sometime.

Loose Yurippe.

>760 I don't really remember, but I don't think it was opened that much.

>765 Was it about as open as the outfit from the 2008 Lock On live? I'm asking how low the neckline of Yurippe's outfit was during the Mini CROW section.

>765 >760 = >766 is a paranoid, so if you engage him he'll latch on and become a huge pain. Best to just ignore him.

>767 Thanks for the warning. I'll stop responding to pervs like Mr. Cleavage and Mr. Thigh from now on...

>748 That was pretty bad lol. Same with Rairaiya's “Haru na no ni.” There are quite a few other questionable ones too. Even if you're going to borrow from someone, you should at least borrow from an unknown song.

Yurippe in the new PV is wearing a pretty loose outfit. Could she be pregnant (ry

Rio Fujisaki is the best. If you're a Yurippe fan, you should really watch her at least once.

By the way, the instrumental section after “Silent Night, Oh Yeah, Holy Night” in “Christmas Eve” is Canon.

>772 Isn't that common knowledge by now?

The outfit in the new PV is cute, but that look is a no-go. Between the Pink House style and the bootcut pants, it's all clothes favored by women in their forties. Gane's stylist has no taste. Poor Yurippe.

...Gane doesn't even have a stylist, does it...

>775 Apparently they buy their own clothes, so probably not.

Yurippe's sense of style is on a whole different level from the usual stuff. Isn't it freaking fantastic?

GARNET in a place like this... http://mup.2ch-library.com/d/1270181734-100402_131248.jpg I'm weirdly happy.

>774 Yurippe can wear anything and it'll be fine.

Apparently they go shopping for their outfits themselves, together with the manager and such. It's probably not like they pay out of pocket, though.

It was covered by Oricon too. http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/74943/full/

The Conan movie tie-in really is powerful.

The release week was pretty stacked, though.

I want Yurippe to tell me, “Ew, you're gross...”

I can't wait two weeks. Just release it already. The pressing must be finished by now anyway.

>785 They probably timed it to coincide with the Conan movie's release, so it can't be helped.

I want to watch the full PV of Yurippe and Over Drive.

Where is everyone watching the PV?

About Yurippe's face on the Vol. 021 newsletter and the Locks album cover: she has kind of a sexy expression, but is she deliberately keeping her eyes half-open like that?

Yurippe has small eyes.

>783 Apparently Aiuchi-san is releasing a new song on April 14 too...

>791 That's the digital-only one.

Releases on April 14: BUMP OF CHICKEN Perfume Angela Aki Kou Shibasaki (lyrics, music, and arrangement by Kazumasa Oda) It's a relief that the April 7 releases are a little weaker.

The StaBlo was updated.

>792 Oh, you're right (-.-;) I misread it... >794 Looks like the regular edition won't have a flimsy case either!?

>794 The regular edition looks like it has a thin case. I like the regular edition's jacket better.

>763 Sorry for the late reply, but they did “Yasashii Ame” on the Towa Bare tour.

Check the Conan commercial.

It's so damn good switching the alarm from “Yume Mita Ato de” to “call my name.”

Yurippe is a goddess.

The commercial's on!

Is there a report somewhere about the previous Nishinomiya event live? (・∀・) And of course, are photography and stuff forbidden?

>802 Of course. Video recording, audio recording, and photography are prohibited. Not that some people won't do it anyway.

They'll confiscate it if you're caught. Though outdoors, they can't keep watch very far away.

I don't think it's that weird even if you call it the kind of thing you wear in front.

At this live, when the people in the first-floor seats saw Yurippe bow during the Mini CROW section, could they see her cleavage?

Please follow the rules and mind your manners. That is what leads to the next free live.

By the way, the “Over Drive” PV was playing on a street monitor in Shibuya. Maybe for about 30 seconds? It was the chorus.

Lately there seem to be a lot of newcomers and longtime fans who don't know basic manners. What kind of education did they get? Is this another result of the yutori education system?

Rude people and old people both exist. --------- Guest appearance Friday, April 16 — α-station 11:00–16:00 SUNNYSIDE BALCONY

× Rude people and old people both exist. ○ Rude old people exist.

>810 Yessssss! α-station is here!

The bad manners of elderly people at classical concerts really piss me off. It comes up every time on the classical music board: eating and drinking during the performance, snoring, chatting with the person next to them, and so on. Classical concerts are meant to be listened to quietly, so that kind of behavior really stands out. And the people who let their phone ring on full volume instead of using silent mode on trains are usually middle-aged or older too. They'll casually make phone calls on the train. Compared to that, the yutori generation is pretty cute.

Friday... so she's going back from Tokyo without appearing on Music Station, huh? f^_^; No way.

I went to the Tokyo live, but the elderly people hardly bothered me. If anything, someone needs to do something about the creepy otaku screaming. Old people don't care about skirt length.

“Over Drive” was introduced on Countdown TV!!! It was playing in convenience stores too, so maybe we can expect a little... But the number and strength of the CDs being released on the same day are insane^^;

I can't go on the 14th anymore. I'm so sad.

The members probably keep refusing to do handshake and autograph events because there are nothing but creepy otaku around.

Even outside places like GIZA where half-idol artists gather, creepy otaku are always around. I once worked staff at a school festival where other artists were performing too, and we had several people marked as ones to watch lol.

>818 We don't need handshake events lol or autograph events lol anyway.

I want Yurippe's handwritten autograph.

I do have Nana-san's, though. I won it at a fan event a long time ago.

(・ε・)

There's a copy of Towa Bare with Yurippe's handwritten autograph up on Yahoo Auctions, though.

>823 What happened?

If they're going to reject creepy otaku, I'd say don't use visual appeal in the jacket photos.

>826 I think they just can't come up with any other jacket design.

They should use creepy otaku like AKB does and make them spend money. No matter how much people criticize you, this is a world where you make money, right? If they made people buy lots of CDs and held handshake events, they could climb higher on the charts too.

>826 I think it's because it'd be scary if Yurippe ever said she'd design it herself. >828 Creepy otaku don't necessarily spend money. That cleavage-and-panty-flash paranoid guy isn't even in the fan club, and he hardly comes to lives either. (Maybe he lives far away from the cities where they're held.)

Just over a week until release. I'm getting seriously hyped.

Oh no! I forgot to preorder the new single! Can I still get the first pressing?

Is it true that during “Spiral” at the final Osaka show, Yurippe stepped over the camera set up near Okamocchi? You could see her panties perfectly, couldn't you?

The person inside Yurippe is designed so it's okay for her to be seen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMi_KPo82IQ Yurippe's cleavage.

The horny-topic idiot is seriously insane.

Eight days until “Over Drive” is released. I really wanna see the full PV already.

I wonder if there'll be some interaction between the members and Conan-kun at the LaLaport event. I really want to see it.

They'll probably put on a little skit by the members, like Garnet Shopping.

Yuri: “The song's gonna get stolen, Conan-kun, help me (deadpan).”

I contacted the office about the Toyosu event, and they told me to contact the store directly lol.

The GaneClo members have been made to do plenty of weird things since way back, so it's fine. They're used to it.

At the previous Nishinomiya live, how did people get seats? Was it first come, first served after all?

>842 Can you give me some specific examples? I've only been a fan for a short time.

Damn it... another new Yurippe... http://blog-imgs-41-origin.fc2.com/m/a/r/marunao2/2009052818035440b.jpg

Angel Beats lol

Yurippe's restriction has been lifted. I wonder if that lunatic's restriction will be lifted too.

>845 The current-season animation lol?

The sound of “Yurippe” somehow gives me an image of an energetic young boy. When you think about it that way, being called “Yurippe” after turning thirty must be embarrassing.

My grandma's friend gets called Yurippe too lol.

>844 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTamiGV4gvw This is more about how Ohno is treated, if anything. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6927101 What the hell is Mochi doing? >849 Let's call her Yurishan.

>843 Of course it was.

>852 Is the person passing by at 0:24 Yurippe? What about 0:31? She looks so much cuter without all the makeup~~~♪

I tried Googling AZUKI Nana and started crying.

Yurippe would be perfect if she could write lyrics. Maybe she actually can.

Anyone can write lyrics if they put their mind to it. With Yurippe's extremely girlish values, wouldn't her lyrics end up with a Rose of Versailles-like worldview?

>856 “Because she doesn't write lyrics, she can write good songs.” I remember hearing that somewhere before. Something like: if you try to do both, you start thinking about lyrics while imagining the music, and it often doesn't work out. Isn't the current setup fine? No need to put the burden on one person.

If you take lyric writing away from Nana, she'd just be a visual member.

Full transcription of the “Over Drive” lyrics omitted.

The “Over Drive” commercial has been playing quite a lot since earlier. But wouldn't one spot during prime time be more efficient than running three spots late at night?

With the budget for one prime-time spot, they can run ten late-night spots. Also, Nikkei Entertainment has a two-page spread with interviews with all the members.

Seriously? Thx.

>862 For real?

Nikkei Entertainment 74　GARNET CROW: What changed over ten years since debut?

The shape of the old man's sunglasses.

Mochi's wig allegations.

We've had newspapers and radio. How about TV too... (+_+)

GARNET CROW on All Night Nippon GOLD, yessssss!!!

Gold?

It's Friday at 10 p.m., but is it prerecorded? If so, would they record it on the 14th?

I got an email from G-Net. Otsu is Nagato's home base, isn't it? I'm going to send an email to All Night too.

Looks like people living in Osaka can't listen to it.

Why the hell are they appearing on radio in Saga and Oita, anyway? lol

The diary update is here.

Yurippe is the best.

I read Nikkei Entertainment and now I understand what “forced” means in “forced windshield-wiper.”

All Night Nippon? No way, come on...

Hello, everyone. I'm Yurippe, the sub-leader of the live team. The 27th was the final day of the BEST tour, in Osaka. Thanks to all of you, we were able to finish safely. Thank you!! Since it was the final day, the members and staff all came together thinking, “Let's make this the best live ever!!” and went onstage as one. Once it started, the excitement was huge from the very beginning. It was so much fun that it passed in the blink of an eye—a dreamlike time. The blue glow-stick performance during “holy ground” was beautiful and moving, like a starry sky, and during the Mini CROW section, you got to hear that song we hadn't been able to perform even once on this tour. Infinite Spiral was so much fun I lost count of how many times we did it. I'm still basking in the afterglow of the live. Over the course of about a month, I was truly happy to meet fans from all over the country. Every live made me feel from the bottom of my heart that GARNET really is loved by all of you. To everyone who came to see the live, thank you so much. And thank you for giving us such moving moments. I hope we can come back to your towns again!! When we do, please come hang out with us again. And now, on the 14th of next month, the new single “over drive” is due for release. Our 10th-anniversary year has only just begun. Everyone, please keep following usー!! Infinite Spiral ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ nice.

>879 Since she wrote “the 14th of next month,” does that mean this diary was written sometime in March?

That comment feels kind of half-assed.

GARNET CROW, celebrating ten years since debut, will be appearing on All Night Nippon for the first time! All the members will look back on the band's history over the past ten years. They'll also share plenty of behind-the-scenes stories about making the theme song and new single “Over Drive” for the movie “Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky”! The show is accepting emails from listeners. The theme is: “Ten Years, Ten People, Ten Colors: My Crow Story” What were you doing in 2000, the year GARNET CROW debuted? And what are you doing now, ten years later in 2010? Please tell us! Examples: “I was in elementary school ten years ago. Now I'm a college student, and I'm job-hunting with Crow.” “I married the partner I met ten years ago. Now we have three children.” “I was thin ten years ago, but now I'm metabolically obese (sob).” ...and so on. Email address: [email protected] We look forward to receiving lots of emails. Three people who send in emails will receive special GARNET CROW goods!

I'm looking forward to the radio show.

Wakayama Broadcasting Yamaguchi Broadcasting Nishinippon Broadcasting Kochi Broadcasting Nagasaki Broadcasting Oita Broadcasting Miyazaki Broadcasting >Asahi Broadcasting (Mon–Thu only) Why exclude Friday? Is Asahi Broadcasting stupid?

>884 I think it's because they're airing “Myu Para,” hosted by Yoshimoto Shinkigeki chairman Kazutoyo Koyabu.

Who cares about Osaka?

Ten years ago: “Yurippe is cute, Yurippe is cute.” Now: “I wanna do ~ with Yurippe.”

Another full transcription of the “Over Drive” lyrics omitted.

>884 Since it's AM radio, don't give up hope. If you choose a station with a strong signal, like Tokai Radio or stations in Tokyo, Hokkaido, or Fukuoka, you might be able to pick it up from far away.

Yurippe and Nana: “GARNET CROW's...” Mochi: “Pastime Paradise” Old Man: “Gold”

>884 Someone will upload it to NicoNico.

>881 You mean the “comment” posted in >879? What part of it was “half-assed”?

>892 It's generic, and it reads like an elementary school book report.

The full PV has started airing too. Only six days left now.

The full “Over Drive” is up on YouTube too. I wonder where they got it...

The chorus is really good, but the Yamashita Tatsuro part is a little disappointing.

>895 It's on NicoNico too. But is that the CD version? They said the arrangement on the CD and in the movie is different.

It's obviously the CD version. But in the full version, the Yamashita part feels even more out of place lol. The programmed backing also feels way too sparse. They really didn't finish it properly.

But I really like the intro, which is a little “Kimi to Iu Hikari”-ish. As expected of Furui-san.

Yurippe's comment is up on the official website~~~~ ...But what about the other members? I feel like I haven't seen Nana-sama in about two years.

Oh no... I might hate “Over Drive”...

Test.

>901 Me too...

ｷﾀ━━━━(^ω^)━━━━!!! We're still trying to go somewhere unknown~ ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二⊃ﾌﾞｰﾝ

Old-fashioned in a bad way...

One more night...? Another night? What am I supposed to tolerate? （´;ω;`)ﾌﾞﾜｯ I've gotten really into “Float World” lately, even though it's way too late. It's such a great song~ Ahh, Nana-sama is the best!!! Yurippe is the best too!

Sorry for the double-posting, but there are a few people posting from cell phones in this thread. Are you on SoftBank? E-Mobile? Or are you using a trial ● or something? au and docomo haven't been able to post for the past month.

Huh, docomo can post?

I'm using SoftBank. I can post normally.

For anyone planning to line up at Nishinomiya Sky Gardens before it opens: everyone will run for spots as soon as the doors open, so wear shoes you can run in.

>910 Forgot to sage(´Д｀)

I want to marry Yuri-san.

I want to hum “Over Drive” with Yuri-san.

>908 Looks like the restriction was suddenly lifted. No idea why... >909 Thanks for the reply! I see. There are more SoftBank users than I expected.

>910 Copy-pasting last year's report without permission. I woke up at 6 today, left home at 7, and went to Nishinomiya Sky Gardens (*´∀`*) I arrived around 9:30 and dashed to the entrance of Nishinomiya Sky Gardens. There were already about three groups lined up. When the doors opened at 10, everyone ran to claim their spots. I was wearing sandals, so I couldn't run very fast, but I somehow managed to get a spot in the very front. It was sometime after 1... Okamocchi showed up for rehearsal. He played a little guitar and left. Then, sometime after 1... rehearsal again. Yurippe and Okamocchi appeared. It was amazing. Yurippe was way too cute. She was wearing the same outfit as yesterday. They sang in this order: “Two Rockets” “At the Corner of Eden Tonight” “Two Rockets” Then rehearsal ended!!!! That was the first time I'd ever heard Yurippe sing live. Then, at 2, the actual show finally started. The setlist was: ? “After Dreaming” ? “Flowers Bloom, Just Swaying” ? “Stay” ? “Mysterious Eyes” Unfortunately, there was no encore today. I really wanted to hear “At the Corner of Eden Tonight”... After that came the long-awaited postcard handout event. A photo taken by someone else: http://userdisk.webry.biglobe.ne.jp/004/020/26/N000/000/000/125467253826616123575_091004_132853.jpg

Can you listen to All Night Nippon GOLD in Kyoto too?

>916 http://mxmkitchen.com/2010/03/27/0003.php

Ah.

Yuri-san.

This is awful. ttp://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8348500

The strings in “Over Drive” are so fresh and clean, perfect for the season ahead. It must feel amazing to listen to it while driving around on a sunny holiday. For the next live, I really want them to add strings to the lineup and perform this song with live strings.

I'll ask directly: Is Yurippe sexy?

I don't know if she's sexy, but apparently she does it every day.

Was Yurippe a delinquent girl back in the day? She kind of seems like a slut, doesn't she?

(´･ω･) “It's Yarippe.”

>920 Nico addicts, get out.

Yarippe is Yuriman!

If Yurippe is doing it, then I'm doing it too.

Apparently there's a photo of Mochi smoking Marlboros, but I've never seen it. Can someone upload it? The Mochi thread is dead, so I'm asking here. orz

Only six days until the event. I've preordered too, so I'm all set.

>924 She's ex-Yuri.

Test.

>895 URL plz.

Come to think of it, the Johnny's otaku and the dirty-joke perv were the same person, right?

Nope lol. Looks like the restriction was lifted, so I'm posting for the first time since the 1st!! I've got a mountain of things to say……… From the 2nd, I went to Yoyogi for Hey! Say! JUMP for a two-night, three-day trip lol. I only attended the show on the 3rd, though.

It was an arena seat toward the back, but on the aisle side, so all four members walked right past me. I was about 5 meters from the outer runway and 10 meters from the back stage, so it was a pretty good seat lol. Yuto-kun, Yamada-kun, and Kento-kun from B.I.shadow waved at me lol. It was so much fun~~~!!! I'm going to the Kyocera show too, so wait for me!

>936 Same person. They were using the ID that spouted off about ARASHI and kept asking whether Yurippe's skirt had been lifted. >937 Are you trying to pretend it never happened now?

Then Harajuku Station was so packed that nobody could move. I thought it was a repeat of that fake-celebrity incident on Takeshita Street lol. It's dangerous, so don't push lol. Concertgoers, people visiting Yoyogi Park for the blossoms, people on Takeshita Street—what is this crowd……… I'm glad there was no accident, but the police were furious lol.

Can someone paste the copy-pasted posts about the Johnny's otaku and the perv from >936? Please. I think it was around the Hiroshima live report.

Happy 18th birthday to Keito Okamoto (Hey! Say! JUMP) on April 1!! Enjoy your final year of high school. Happy 15th birthday to Ryutaro Morimoto (Hey! Say! JUMP) on April 6!! He's still in middle school lol. His little brother Shintaro is starting middle school too lol. Don't fight—get along lol.

SUMMARY 2010 performances confirmed!! SUMMARYLAND is coming to Tokyo Dome City for summer vacation!! 7/18–8/29　Tokyo Dome City JCB Hall Featuring Hey! Say! JUMP and Johnny's Jr.

>941 Was the person who wrote the pervy posts talking about the Sho-kun Mitsuya Cider thing? Weekly singles chart *9　9,546　ARASHI “Troublemaker” Yesterday's daily singles chart *1　33,958　NYC “Yūki 100%” Appearance on Music Station confirmed for 4/17!!

ARASHI's 30th single overall, “Monster,” is set for release on May 19!! “Monster” is the theme song for the NTV Saturday 9 p.m. drama “Kaibutsu-kun.” Also, KAT-TUN's new single “Going!” is set for release on 5/12!!

ARASHI has been chosen as the Tourism Agency's “Tourism Nation Navigator”!! The Spring NTV × ARASHI campaign runs for 15 days, from 4/10 to 4/24. ARASHI will appear on all kinds of programs. Better check the free space on your HDD lol.

I'm going to head out since I'm in the middle of watching the 5×10 DVD lol. It's 4 hours and 9 minutes long, after all. 19:00–VS Arashi Spring 3-Hour Special.

I couldn't really make it out at the live, but it is a good song. If it were the '90s, I think they'd be a group churning out million-sellers. Though I'd hate that too lol.

>948 What are you saying now? lol They're a band aiming for the Neo Classic or OLD by NEW route. Of course they're going to feel out of step with the times. If anything, isn't that a compliment?

I listened to the full “Over Drive” for the first time, and the chorus really is pretty bad. Everything except the chorus is quite good, especially the intro. Well, the Yamashita Tatsuro part is what it is... I at least wish they'd changed the lyrics lol. The melody before the chorus also sounds like something I've heard somewhere before...

I fell asleep lol. Daily chart *1→*1　22,757　NYC

Is Gane's fashion—or rather, their sense of style—really that tacky? Personally, I freaking love it. I think jackets showing the members are totally fine too. Lots of old records have that kind of thing. Between “as the dew” and “OVERDRIVE,” their sound and song style have started turning into something like fusion, which made me laugh. It even feels like it might tie into that flying-crow logo for the tenth anniversary, like Chick Corea and stuff. Call it out of step with the times if you want, but Gane might be the only group that can make this kind of style work right now.

The intro to “Over Drive” is godly. The song itself is totally ordinary. It feels unassuming, but I get the impression they put an insane amount of effort into the arrangement—or rather, the sounds they used. It hit me about as hard as the first time I heard “a crown.”

>951 Correction: *1→*1　25,582　NYC “Yūki 100%”

>952 You said it well. GaneClo is a rare group that can make being out of step with the times look good.

http://anchorage.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1270718838/ New thread.

>955 Unlike the Shibuya-kei stuff from a while back, I love how you can feel such a completely natural respect for music. I think Gane is the ultimate evolution of J-pop. They've been active for so long without wavering at all. They keep getting simpler and more powerful. It's been a long time since just a voice and a sound could move me this much. It's not even about the lyrics or any little technicality anymore—I heard it once and thought it was an incredibly beautiful song. It's like the scenery comes rushing at you along with it.

>949 Yeah, that's why I don't really want them to get hugely popular. If they went overseas now, they're at a level where a worldwide hit wouldn't be surprising.

Their musicianship is the best, but the members' fashion is always wandering around without direction. Nana is the only one with a clear clothing direction; everyone else looks like they just took photos in their everyday clothes. The music direction is so clear, so why not just match the outfits to it?

Apparently VMC will be airing Over Drive from 24:00 to 24:30 too.

>959 In Nana-san's case, isn't that just her everyday wear? (It doesn't look out of place.)

>957 Yeah, when you listen to Gane's songs, scenery just comes floating into your mind. Of course, the lyrics are an important part of that too. I wouldn't like it if Gane got too obsessed with outfits and went visual-kei... I want Yurippe to stay as natural as she is now.

“la-la-la Sorekara 1・2・3” got a tie-in too, apparently.

>963 Huh, seriously? Is that G-Net info??

It's spring for everyone, and a new school year. New high school seniors: Keito Okamoto (Hey! Say! JUMP) New high school juniors: Ryosuke Yamada (Hey! Say! JUMP), Yuri Chinen (Hey! Say! JUMP) 　　　　　　　　　　　Yuma Nakayama, Kento Nakajima (B.I.shadow), Yugo Kōchi (B.I.shadow) New high school sophomores: Fuma Kikuchi (B.I.shadow) New middle school seniors: Ryutaro Morimoto (Hey! Say! JUMP), Hokuto Matsumura (B.I.shadow)

I'd like to see Nakamura-san's straight hair at a live.

The restriction's been lifted—it happened before the Kaitou Kid promise. Yaaay~

>964 “Golf no Shinzui” came up.

>968 “Golf no Shinzui,” seriously? What an ominous tie-in this is. Is that the tie-in partner that drove Naifu to disband?

Could it have already aired on the April 3 broadcast?

>969 I'd never heard of the show, so I looked it up. It's an actual golf program, not an anime. It just started on KBS too—do you think they'll introduce the song at the end?

4th Single “SUNSET / Ari no Mama de” 2009.6.17 Release / GZCA-7145 / 1,050 yen [tax included] Tracks: SUNSET (June ending theme for NTV's “Ongaku Senshi MUSIC FIGHTER”) Ari no Mama de (Ending theme for TV Tokyo's “Golf no Shinzui”) After that, Naifu stopped being active. Please let GARNET CROW keep going＞＜

>972 Chicago Poodle, who came before Gane, is still going strong.

>895 Is this the agency's official channel? ttp://www.youtube.com/user/being

If it airs, will it be at the end of the program? It's the ending theme, right?

Apparently they made five songs for the Conan movie, so maybe there was one that would fit as the ending theme for a Saturday-noon golf program.

It was still Chicago Poodle. What a shame.

KBS is over. It was Chicago Poodle... what a shame. The song only played for a really short time.

Your information-gathering skills are incredible.

>974 That outfit is awful. What the hell is that frilly getup? Her face is cute, though.

Sky PerfecTV! channel 272's Artist Request is doing a GARNET special next week too.

They're appearing on Music Station on April 16.

>976 >Apparently they made five songs for the Conan movie. Where did that info come from? I mean, if they made five songs, why did they choose this one? orz I've never heard of “Golf no Shinzui,” but I've probably seen it before lol. I'm looking forward to hearing “la-la-la Sorekara 123”!

>983 It was in a magazine called Nikkei Entertainment!

Are they doing an F.C. event this summer? Tokyo JCB Hall is unavailable from 7/18 to 8/29.

>984 Oh, I see. Thx! I guess tie-ins for Conan movies really are a lot of work if they have to make so many songs.

Test.

Why is Yuri-san so beautiful?

>988 She's not all that beautiful without makeup, though.

>989 I think you should go see an eye doctor.

>988 Maybe she's Korean-looking?

>990 You've never seen her, have you?

Yurippe had plastic surgery.

>988 If you clear your mind and listen to Yurippe's and Nana-san's voices, Nana-san definitely has a beautiful woman's voice. Yurippe's doesn't really sound like one, though...

I think Yuri-san is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Nana had plastic surgery too.

Mochi had plastic surgery too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aa34Vw_QvI I want to sing “Shiawase na Pet” with Yurippe.

If this is post 1000, “Over Drive” will sell over 50,000 copies.
