This is a thread for GARNET CROW fans to talk about ARASHI, Hey! Say! JUMP, NYC, and B.I.shadow.

(´･ω･) >3 is a pig troll pretending to be a fan, making pervy comments and running Johnny's-fan propaganda. As usual, let's just breeze past him. If you have business with him, see him later at the merch booth.

Pretending to be a fan lol. I'm a Gane fan who got an early copy of Gane's debut single. Don't lump me in with the perv!!!

I want to see the “Over Drive” PV already. When will it be uploaded to the official website?

Apparently music on! tv is showing the “Over Drive” PV tonight. Starting at midnight. Be sure to check it.

>7 Seriously? Thanks for the info. Then tomorrow the “Over Drive” PV should be uploaded to YouTube, right?

>1 ( ^ω^)「A乙UKI 七!」

From what I saw in the “Over Drive” PV commercial, it looks like they really put some effort into it... Has it been this intense since “Namida no Yesterday”?

They aired the commercial during Conan last week, right? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U6g28APFGgs&warned=1&gl=JP&hl=ja The PV has a bright feel. I want to see the PV and “The Lost Ship in the Sky” already. The Yahoo! Movies review says: This time it isn't a murder case. You get to see a new side of Conan after all the formulaic repetition. You also get to experience the world of Magic Kaito. It is packed with more romantic-comedy and gag scenes than any Conan before it. The story structure feels like a return to early Conan. That character who appeared briefly in “Captured in Her Eyes” also returns. Apparently that's what it's like.

【Democratic Party】 Instead of free expressways, we get an effective price hike: “Unless you travel over a 2,000-yen one-way section, you don't save a single yen.” Discount services disappearing one after another. http://tsushima.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1270526988/l50

>7 This is the one: http://www.m-on.jp/regular/detail2.html

>3 >5 are lunatics who can't even understand Japanese. Ignore them like dog shit lying on the side of the road.

>1 Nice work.

I want to go for a drive with Yuri-san while playing “Over Drive” as the BGM.

I want her to show up at LaLaport in Conan's airship.

Is it true they're on Music Station on April 16?

>18 Not GARNET. Fucking Johnny's otaku, go die.

They're going to be on Music Station! Since they've refused to perform, I think they'll show up in the rankings.

It's nice that there's a poster handout, but it's a shame that not everyone who goes will get one. The CDs that come with something like a numbered ticket are limited in quantity, right? Events like this are really rough on people living outside the region...

I want to marry Yuri-san and build a happy family.

Yurippe looks like Maomi Yuki.

>23 Then you should become famous too.

Nana-san looks so cool in the “Over Drive” PV (　´ω｀)

Yurippe is really skinny, but she does have a decent amount of flesh on her butt and thighs. Her legs don't exactly look that thin either. She's too skinny, so putting on a little more wouldn't hurt.

The outfit is tacky. She's pairing this year's trendy sweatshirt with loose sleeves and a fluffy skirt, but it doesn't look simple at all. Her figure isn't bad, so maybe it's because Yurippe has no sense of style.

I can finally post. The full “Kaze to RAINBOW” ringtone being distributed to LIVE attendees has her singing “Automation,” huh.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJFNr35Jiiw

Yurippe is ridiculously cute in the PV. Especially in the second half. I mean, the other three besides Mochi always look totally on point. Mochi does pull off the butt-of-the-joke character too, though lol.

>22 I reserved a CD by phone at the HMV that will be the event venue. Apparently I'll definitely get an event participation ticket too. Then I can just go buy it on the day, so there's no need to worry about it selling out.

>31 Even when Mochi is being serious, there's always something comical about him lol. His build and movements are funny.

>26 I just watched the PV, and Nana-sama really was cool! So cute (*´∀｀) She cut her hair, but I like the current length better than when it was really long. At first I thought Over Drive was trash, but after listening a few times, I've gradually gotten used to it. It doesn't have much of a hook, but it isn't poisonous either, if that makes sense... In a good way, it's something you can let wash over you, and it doesn't feel tiring even after listening for a long time. The intro really is the best! The guitar in the intro is right up my alley~ The old man really is good at string arrangements.

Looks like it might rain that day... for now, anyway.

Even Yamashita Tatsuro, the guy they supposedly copied, is releasing on the same day. Did GIZA plan this?

Doesn't Kaitou Kid or Conan appear in the PV?＞＜ I couldn't help imagining Kurose banging away without reading the mood.

>30 Seriously, Gane is a really well-made idol band.

>30 Yurippe's weirdly girlish pose lol.

Please make the PV in HD!

When did they shoot the Over Drive PV? Is there scenery like that in Japan? Some of the staff shot the scenery overseas, while the Gane members filmed in some studio, and they composited it afterward?

When Yurippe gets older, I bet she'll start looking like Miyuki Nakajima.

It's getting repetitive. Time to disband, I guess.

Personally, I thought the 7th album and “As the Dew” were really well-made, so I can't quit being a fan yet...

>34 That sounds a lot like how I felt about “Doing all right.”

>24 Yurippe looks like Rio Fujisaki. I rented another one today too.

April 14. Kaitou Kid has stolen the new song... Only two days left on the time limit. Could the movie's ending actually be silent in the worst-case scenario?

Daily chart *1→*1→*1　11,758　NYC　“Yūki 100%”

The punchline is that what got stolen was a Yamashita Tatsuro song... orz

It's not plagiarism at all. It only counts as plagiarism if the person intended it.

Is the regular version of “Natsu no Maboroshi,” which they stubbornly never do live, a rip-off?

One part is Yamashita Tatsuro's “Christmas Eve.” The overall style of the song is Arashi's “Eyerything.”

I thought the intro sounded exactly like “Can't forget your love.”

Apparently “la-la-la Sorekara 123” was already played on “Golf no Shinzui” before the official announcement. Someone posted a phone recording on mixi. Old news?

“Iridium” and “Koi no Aima ni” are the good ones on the 7th album.

“Koi no Aima ni” is better in the Mini CROW version, though.

>58 Hard same. I underestimated Mini CROW, but it was really good. “Koi Mani,” “Seichi,” “Yofuke.”

I always looked forward to Nana-san's piano performance of “Mizu no Nai Umi” at the lives, so I have mixed feelings.

1

I wonder if they'll do “Shiawase na Pet” or something~

It's nothing but breakup songs.

What's the weather in Nishinomiya on the 18th looking like?

Yurippe's left ring finger in the PV.

Things I noticed in the “Over Drive” PV: ・Around the 50-second mark, Yurippe puts her hand on her chest during “my chest tightens,” and then the old man pops up. That cracked me up. ・They didn't spend any money on the PV lol.

ttp://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org796494.jpg

>66 They've never spent money on a PV lol. “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” was composited too. Over Drive is studio footage plus compositing lol.

I was listening to Gane Radio and thought, “Huh? Is this a Yamashita Tatsuro cover?” But it turned out to be Over Drive.

The PV is really cheap-looking. They should've just used live footage as the PV instead.

>70 Do-shima River Forum + live footage = “Doing all right.”

So?

Yurippe's outfit is way too overdone. Nana-san's is way too plain.

Mochi's outfit suits him the least.

That hunting-cap-looking hat doesn't suit Mochi at all.

Being forced to watch live footage would be boring. Newly shot footage is better.

>68 “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” was at least shot with a luxury limousine rental lol. Also, Mochi is way too hunched over. In the side-walking scene he looks like an old man lol.

>77 I looked up the rental fee and it wasn't even 20,000 yen lol.

The rain, way after midnight~♪

>68 “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” was at least filmed in New York lol.

I feel like “Kaze to RAINBOW” must've been the most expensive.

>67 Give us a bigger one.

I don't like those Avex PVs that waste ridiculous amounts of money either. I can't imagine spending hundreds of millions of yen on a PV. As long as the song is good, a cheap-looking PV is fine.

>60 It sounds like that is Nana's only real highlight lol. Like it wouldn't matter if she weren't there for the rest lol. There are plenty of better highlights than Nana's piano in “Mizu no Nai Umi.”

Watching the “Over Drive” PV reminded me all over again that Yuri-san is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Isn't her eyeliner way too heavy? Are those false eyelashes?

Not that it matters, but is this the first time Yurippe and Nana-san have both been barefoot?

I want her to wear black stockings.

I want her to wear black pantyhose!!

I went to the Osaka live in March. I was happy they sang “Kuraga” without lowering the key, but why did they weirdly lower the key only for the chorus of “Yume no Hitotsu”? I was also dissatisfied because Nana-sama's outfit was way too plain. Yurippe being overly flashy is just right, though.

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

>90 That part felt really off to me too lol. Also, it sounded like Yurippe was off-key in “As the Dew.”

>92 She really was off-key in “As the Dew.” It felt like lowering the key so Yurippe could sing more comfortably backfired. Once the chorus came in, it seemed like she unconsciously started singing in the original key. I like how refreshing the Over Drive PV is~

>90 Even if Nana-san's outfit is plain, the parts of the PV where she appears turned out relatively cool. >93 “As the Dew” isn't really a live-friendly song to begin with... The overall tone is kind of dark, so I guess it can't be helped.

Yurippe's vocal projection may have improved, but I feel like she sings every song in a flat way now.

>94 Nana in the intro and the lighting right before the chorus are cool, so maybe they could do it live once in a while lol. >95 Wasn't her style originally to sing without thinking about the lyrics and without putting emotion into it?

The PV is so ridiculously refreshing lol.

Long skirts basically don't suit Nana, do they? That '80s-style dress was cute, though.

It'll turn into snow~

Three of the members fit the “fresh” worldview, but one of them doesn't look “fresh” at all—he just looks like a clown lol.

Every group needs a clown. Otherwise you can't let your guard down lol.

The All Night Nippon theme is tough. They ask for a story about hardships, but I haven't had any hardships lol. I don't want to make something up either. Maybe I'll ignore the theme and just send them a message about something else.

I've had hardships, but none of them were interesting hardships, so same as above lol.

Replacing the vocals on a live DVD with the original-recording vocals is insulting as hell. I'm paying for the music, not the video, you idiots.

Today I dreamed there was some kind of GARNET CROW prank show, and a comedian or someone who slapped Yurippe on the cheek got screamed at by her like crazy.

Siiilent naaaight♪

>42 I agree. Even now, I think the songs by “Rai・Rai・Ya” sound like Miyuki Nakajima.

I want to slap Yurippe across the cheek as hard as I can.

Why did they make Yurippe's shoes black in Over Drive? Flat ballet shoes are fine, but because they're black, her feet stick out weirdly. They just look wrong.

As expected of Fortune King. Yurippe　Fortune King Mochi　Fortune King's sidekick Old Man　Fortune citizen What was Nana again?

It played for about a minute on that Golf-whatever program. It has a pretty sharp feel. It sounds like they're pronouncing 123 as “one two three.”

“Lalala” came on “Golf no Shinzui”! It has a heavy, powerful, melancholy feel you wouldn't guess from the title lol. It kind of feels like “Mawarimichi” or “Yellow Moon”...?

>111-112 No way!

>104 Which song, for example? The temple-live version of “Maboroshi” seemed suspicious.

At the end of the chorus, did anyone else hear “Lost to the rain~ / Lost to the wind~♪” or was it just me? (^ω^；)

>115 They lost?! lol And it's still la la la even though they lost?! lol

Lost, la la la. What a peaceful route lol.

I think the lyrics are roughly about being strong and gentle, counting 1-2-3 and pushing through, wanting to blow away a sad mood, losing to the rain and wind, and walking on anyway (￣_￣;;)

That trademark Nana-sama half-assed feeling lol.

I have a feeling this is going to be a god-tier coupling track.

I would've preferred a cute song like “CYANDY POP.”

That's way too half-assed lol.

>115 >Lost to the rain >Lost to the wind >Still walked on Maybe it means you can get through life without working insanely hard like Kenji Miyazawa. >Let's overcome it >I want to blow away this sad mood >Still walked on >119 >122 Why do you call that half-assed? It's plenty positive! If I were being half-assed, it wouldn't be anything like this.

>123 Congrats on “Lalala Sorekara 123” hitting 123. Rather than Kenji Miyazawa, it made me think of “Showa Karesusuki.”

Hooooly naaaight♪

Over Drive feels like all the poison has been drained out of GARNET lol. The PV is like that too lol. I guess all we can do is hope for the coupling track.

>126 The movie production side asked for a brighter song, so it couldn't be helped＞＜

>123 Who cares about your story?

Over Drive isn't very popular around here, huh... Personally, I like it(´･ω･`)

No, it is popular. It's just that there was too much hype at first, so there's a bit of a backlash now.

People have been disliking it since the first live performance.

At the first live performance, Kurose's condition was just bad.

I was completely done in by the part in the OD PV where Yuri-san puts her hand on her chest. Why is Yuri-san so beautiful?

If they'd just done something about the Tatsuro part, it would've been a god-tier song.

The end of the Over Drive chorus sounds like some Johnny's Arashi “Love-whatever” song, orz. Wait, “la-la-la Sorekara 123” has aired already!!! The lyrics sound very Nana-sama, so it seems promising. I'm ridiculously excited. Ahh, I want to hear it already!

Why Over Drive is underwhelming: ・I think it's because there's no solo section in the middle.

.GARNET CROW × the theatrical film “Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky” The first single of their 10th anniversary! A premium mid-tempo tune woven from a sound full of buoyancy, freedom, and warmth. A newly written song showcasing Yamashita Tatsuro's meticulous craftsmanship throughout, arranged in the GARNET style. It has also been chosen as the theme song for the movie “Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky”!

It'll be interesting to see whether the BEST album can break 20,000 copies in its first week.

BEST plus one new song: 20,000 copies. Since it's a new song, it needs to hit 30,000.

Even songs that get good reviews here don't sell all that well. What happens when people dislike it, then... Well, only the loyal fans are going to buy it anyway, so whether it's a movie tie-in or not, sales probably won't change much.

Is this person a Gane fan? They're using an Orange amp, so what a coincidence. http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w49884165

I don't watch much TV, so I don't know, but is Over Drive playing in the Conan movie commercial? As for the effect of a movie tie-in, I feel like blasting the song repeatedly in the movie commercials has a bigger impact than appealing to the people who actually go see the movie.

If it's a commercial like “Over Drive × The Lost Ship in the Sky.”

>142 It didn't play in the movie promo after Conan today.

>141 That's not an Orange, it's a Pignose.

Taking inspiration from “Christmas Eve” at this time of year, huh?

I got to hear the ending theme from “Golf no Shinzui” on YouTube. Ahhh, “Sorekara 123” sounds really promising. I want to hear the full version already.

>147 The narration is annoying lol. But they really are singing “lost to the rain and wind.”

Over Drive really gives off a coupling-track vibe... Not that it's bad.

I want to have sex with Yuri-san.

Does Yurippe still live in Kyoto? That commute must be rough...

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

Go read the hotexpress interview.

I feel angry at the Conan people for making Yurippe stay up all night.

Hitoshi Okamoto: “I didn't want people thinking, ‘The new song was kind of meh, huh?’ (laughs).” Apparently the movie version starts with a cappella vocals. Which means it's definitely going on the next album lol.

Hotexpress has quite a lot of behind-the-scenes production stories!

http://sakuratan.ddo.jp/imgboard/img-box/img20100116224355.jpg

>154 Getting the theme song for a theatrical movie is an honor. It would've been better if the singers for the previous movie and this one had been switched. The previous movie could've used a dark song just fine.

Test.

Daily chart *1*1*1\*2　6,910　NYC “Yūki 100%” Chinen-kun is 156 cm tall……… He was 156 cm last year too. Has he stopped growing? lol The Detective Conan team appeared, but I wish Yurippe had appeared too........

I want to go see Conan with Yuri-san.

>160 She's only three centimeters taller than me? lol

There was interview footage too, so they must've recorded it during the 10th-anniversary comment. More importantly, what was with the movie staff saying, “Kids are going to watch it, so please make it easy to hear”?!

>162 Are you 153 cm?

>164 I'm 159. This is off-topic, so let's stop here. I'm looking forward to the ending of the Conan movie.

>163 So they mean make the English easy to understand, right? Because “ashioto hibiku” can sound like “As the Dew” if you hear it as a mondegreen.

There are no GARNET CROW music-show appearances scheduled. This agency is hopeless.

The opening of Over Drive sounds like “Mawarimichi.”

I want them to do a live in the summer.

What is hotexpress? Is it a music magazine?

It's a music news site. It has some pretty in-depth interviews.

That was a really good interview article.

>170 http://www.hotexpress.co.jp/interview/100407_garnetcrow/

Just thinking that it's being released in two days is getting me hyped.

Their first movie theme song. Wait, did they forget Kenshiro?

>173 Thanks!

The Over Drive PV kind of has an '80s idol vibe.

Lately I've been getting the feeling that a disbandment announcement is coming soon. These days...

>175 You mean “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku.” I personally like that song a lot, so I remember it lol. >178 They said at the last live that the fan club is continuing, so stop saying that lol.

>175 They mean it would be their first one in Conan.

They're talking about Yamashita Tatsuro.

I'm so worried that after release, people everywhere will start making a fuss about it being a Tatsuro rip-off. What if someone makes a comparison video...

—Also, people are curious about what impression it will make when they actually hear it in the theater. Yuri Nakamura: That's why I want to go see it in a theater too. I want to find out what it sounds like in 5.1-channel surround. And the version that plays in the theater has no intro—it starts a cappella. I really want to experience in a theater what it feels like for the main feature to end and then only my voice to start playing. I think the impression will change depending on where you're sitting, so I want to go a few times. And if anyone tries to stand up and leave after the feature ends, I'll stop them and say, “Um, it's not over yet...” I think I'll block the exits (laughs).

Yura Yura Teikoku disbanded, but Yuri Yuri Teikoku will live forever.

>173 It's just a string of words, but in my head it plays back perfectly in Yurippe's voice and manner of speaking lol.

I want Yurippe to stop me and say, “Um, it's not over yet...”

One week ago was Hey! Say! JUMP's spring tour. Two weeks ago was GARNET's BEST live. Time flies lol.

○ Over Drive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MmYaYXLjTw ○ la-la-la Sorekara 1・2・3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReqzhChBk0A

>188 What are you trying to say? Is nitpicking and picking fights your reason for living? What a twisted personality. Pathetic. Get lost, scum.

The new song is pretty meh, isn't it...

After listening to “As the Dew,” this one just doesn't do it for me... I mean, I think Gane is bad at pop songs and upbeat songs.

>188 Neither one sounds similar lol.

Well, music is made from a limited set of notes, so it's not strange for things to sound similar. Tetsuya Komuro said that. Still better than Hama○●○mi, who shamelessly plagiarizes lyrics.

GARNET CROW 10th-anniversary solo projects ● GARNET CROW feat. Hiroto Furui * An all-instrumental album is planned. ● GARNET CROW feat. MINIQLO * A second acoustic album, drawn from GARNET CROW's catalog so far, is planned. ● GARNET CROW feat. AZUKI Nana Release date: August 11, 2010 — “The Heart Sutra” * A solo-singing-and-playing single of the Heart Sutra by GARNET CROW's AZUKI Nana is planned. When are those solo projects coming~?

The two Mini CROW members didn't need to go out of their way to match in plaid shirts. Mochi and Yurippe both have gentler expressions than they do with Gane. I wonder if Yurippe is the type who wouldn't hide it and would be open about it if she got a boyfriend.

MUSIC FOCUS Apparently they're doing a two-week special. http://www.music272.tv/program/music%20focus/index.html

I wish NTV would put them on a music show or something. It doesn't look like the song is even playing in the Conan movie commercials, so the tie-in effect is pretty weak.

I've heard that music was completely exhausted in Beethoven's time.

>197 The tie-in effect is huge. The Conan-related books and DVDs released around this time introduce it as the movie's theme song, “Over Drive.” And the obi on the “The Lost Ship in the Sky” soundtrack, released the same day, also advertises “Over Drive,” released the same day.

Enough with these petty topics about tie-ins and sales already.

Only three days until I get to see Yuri and Nana.

>199 No matter how much you promote it in writing, music ultimately has to get people to hear the chorus in commercials and such for it to count. “Sen no Yoru wo Koete” from BLEACH, for example, was impossible to escape.

>202 Different era. If people can't hear the chorus in commercials and such and have their hearts won over, it won't sell. Rather than advertising with text alone, wouldn't it be better if the flow went: “What kind of song is it? → I'll buy it and see.” “I saw it in the theater → That ending song is good → I'll buy it and see.”

Plaid clothes?????

>191 Isn't that just your personal taste?

>192 I mean, the part below was just copied straight from Yurippe's comment on hotexpress lol.

Getting angry without even properly checking the GC info is pretty lame lol.

Σ(　ﾟ∀)ｹﾞｯ!! Angela Aki has been confirmed to appear after Gane!! 【Kansai area】 Date: Sunday, April 18, 2010 Location: Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens Sky Garden Show time: 15:00 START Admission: Free http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/Music/Info/AngelaAki/freelive/freelive.html And with Kawasaki that's 10,000 people in total? What the hell. Gane is being treated like the opening actヽ(`Д´)ﾉｳﾜｧｧｧﾝ!! 12:00~　　　　Gane 15:00~　　　　Angela Aki

Then let's gather 10,001 Gane otaku.

Fewer people is better. So no need to advertise it.

Does that mean people waiting for Angela will watch along with the Gane otaku? Like a festival atmosphere?

>211 Apparently there are stone-step seats in front of the stage. So after watching Gane, you can just keep sitting there and watch Angela Aki too. Well, there is only a roof, so you can see and hear it from the back too.

Yurippe should put on glasses too, just to compete.

At least both acts are major artists. Too fancy for Nishinomiya. I wonder if Angela's fans are otaku-ish. There seem to be a lot of women, so they probably won't camp out overnight, right?

People who want to see Angela up front can claim spots during Gane's performance, right? For Gane otaku, it's kind of annoying to have a bunch of extra people there for nothing. But it does have the benefit of exposing Angela's audience to Gane's songs, so... Anyway, I'm going to Toyosu lol. Sounds like you guys have it rough over there.

If Angela Aki is coming, I have a feeling Kansai might somehow end up with all four members too lol.

Is the live on the 14th about two hours long?

Looking back, was the acoustic version of “Doing all right” a sign of Mini CROW to come?

>217 Usually about three to five songs. Since this is a Conan movie event, it's possible they might only do the new song. Better not get your hopes up too high.

I mean the number of songs lol.

>168 I kept thinking it sounded like some Gane song, but that's it! >191 Hey, they're not bad at it. Personally, I actually prefer Gane's songs in that style. There are lots of great ones, like “Namida no Yesterday.”

AZUKI 222.

AZUKI 2:50.

>216 I hope that happens... If all four appear, I'll consider going. >218 I like the acoustic version of “Doing all right,” but if that's all it is, that'd be disappointing. orz

>219 Oh, I see~ I was thinking of going from Nagoya, but I'll pass.

>225 Don't let them fool you lol. You get to see Yurippe perform onstage with Conan and Kaitou Kid, you know? NTV is putting a lot of effort into this one, so it feels like it'll be a major event.

I wonder what the people who came for Angela will think when they see Gane lol.

By the way, I was moved when I saw an ad for the Conan movie in a manga magazine my little sister reads, and it said “Theme song: GARNET CROW.” I actually muttered “Thank goodness, thank goodness” to myself lol. Though it probably won't have any effect...

They probably won't show up for the stage greetings, huh? “Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky” release commemorative stage greetings confirmed at Itami, Namba, and Umeda! (2010/04/09) TOHO Cinemas Itami, Namba, and Umeda will hold stage greetings to celebrate the release of “Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky.” Minami Takayama, Wakana Yamazaki, and Rikiya Koyama are scheduled to appear. * All seats reserved; screenings use a capacity-based changeover system. http://www.tohotheater.jp/event/event00000189.html

Why is Toyosu on a weekday in the evening~? I have work. I really wanted to go! The Kawasaki one was amazing when I went, and this time Furui-san and Azuki-san are coming too—I'm seriously freaking out! I wanna go~ If it were 18:00, I could barely make it to Toyosu, but it sounds like it'll be over by then.

>227 What they'll actually see is an acoustic-guitar guy and a singer-songwriter lady—something that is Gane but isn't Gane.

>227 I'm worried they'll see Gane's creepy otaku and get turned off(´；ω；｀) They'll be saying things like, “There was someone next to me who looked like a Gane fan, but they were super gross,” and trashing us... Most of Gane's regulars are old men, and their manners are pretty bad.

Apparently Ai Kawashima is performing today, but it's pouring rain... Date: April 11 (Sun)　Time: 17:00~ URL: http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/article/811120056/ The forecast for 4/18 has a 20% chance of rain. http://www.jma.go.jp/jp/week/332.html

Conan is the star of the event, not Gane~

In a street interview for the Chunichi Shimbun evening edition yesterday, under the feature “The One Song You Remember,” a female college student answered “Kimi wo Kazaru Hana wo Sakasou.”

Hey, don't go calling fellow Gane fans creepy. We're all people who like Gane, so looks don't matter. Anyway, I'm jealous of those who can go. Have fun, and report back!

Even if we all like Gane, we might not mean the same thing by “like” lol.

>191 Rather than being bad at it, I think it's impressive that even when the song is bright, she can still create Gane's uniquely bittersweet atmosphere. Take “Hare Dokei,” for example. The lyrics play a part, but I think it's also Yurippe's vocal tone. That keeps the atmosphere from becoming clichéd, so Yurippe really is amazing. >223 There was someone called Ai Kawashima or something, right? lol Ah, is that basically the same thing? lol

*1　6,202　NYC

Two major artists are coming to Nishinomiya Sky Gardens on the 18th, so it's expected to be extremely crowded. Will Angela's fans line up before the store opens too? I want them to give the front spots to Gane fans. We'll leave as soon as Gane is finished.

↑Thanks for posting it first!!

I think Angela's fans are more mainstream than otaku.

>240 Apparently regular people with nothing better to do line up early too. The store opens at 10, but would it be dangerous not to get there before 9?

It's not AKB, so it'll be fine lol.

The commercial came on just now. My family stared at it, but nobody said anything, so I broke out in a cold sweat...

I really can't make it on the 18th... Everyone, please report back.

The live starts at noon, but apparently there's a rehearsal beforehand. So yeah, earlier is better.

I want to have sex with Yuri-san.

How many times do you think Nana's fingers have gone inside Yurippe? She'd be gentle, so she wouldn't hurt Yurippe, right?

>247　Maybe this is unnecessary, but last October at Nishinomiya they came out about 30 minutes before the start. 　　　Maybe because they were being considerate of the heat, 　　　they played about two songs in advance. 　　　That time they sang “At the Corner of Eden Tonight,” which was great, but they did the chorus in a live-style arrangement 　　　and asked the audience to shout along. Everyone was surprised because it was so sudden (laughs).

>250 What was Yurippe doing at rehearsal? lol

>250 Oh~ It'd be nice if they did that again this time. But if they're Kansai people, I want them to go this far ↓ Yurippe: “Thanks for gathering in such huge numbers.” Mochi: “Angela Aki-san is up next, you know~”

Angela and Yurippe seem like they'd get along. Since Yurippe and Mochi are such trend-followers, they'd probably go meet her like they did on Music Station.

>250 >Maybe because they were being considerate of the heat, they played about two songs in advance. 　　　Besides that, I think they figured it'd be bad for the Kansai fans if they played far fewer songs than in Kawasaki, 　　　so they performed songs they did in Kawasaki but won't do in the actual Nishinomiya show.

Are they releasing a live DVD?

>255 I'm hoping they'll announce it after Over Drive is released...

I'd rather have Blu-ray than DVD.

>256 I'll hope for that too... Why isn't the Over Drive bonus the Over Drive PV... I just started living alone and don't have internet yet, so I can't watch it＞＜ >257 Blu-ray would be better♪

Do you think the Director's Cut means the old man will move in slow motion?

I want to have anal sex with Yurippe.

>255 It's on sale right now!! I'm looking forward to seeing how many copies the first week sells!!

>259 The old man is naturally in slow motion. That's him moving in slow motion.

I want to insert a vibrator into Yurippe's anus.

>255 The 5×10 DVD is already on sale. Go buy it while you can.

>260 Yurippe's virginity belongs to me.

>250 Was she wearing something that showed her thighs?

I'm the person from >250. 　　　I was seriously surprised back then. 　　　There were about 100 Gane fans, with people completely unrelated to the event watching all around us, 　　　and in that situation they did “Ima ga ‘Chance!’” and “Nemurenu Yoru wa ‘Crazy Crazy Days!’” 　　　Yurippe really made them do something wild (laughs).

When there was nothing worth watching on TV because it was all specials the other day, I watched the Ninnaji live. That kind of live is really great too. I wish I'd gone. I want to see the other day's live on video soon too.

Has the 2009 Livescope DVD come out yet?

By the way, I've been seeing GARNET commercials on TV a lot lately. Can we expect good sales for this CD?

I want to marry Yuri-san and have three kids.

Are we really going to have to wait a year for the DVD of the recent live...

>269 　　　Not yet.

I want them to release each show properly as its own thing, not chop them up and throw them together in an edit. I guess we can't expect Blu-ray from Being...

I don't think anyone is more beautiful than Yuri-san in the OD PV.

If you look closely, you can't hide the effects of aging.

At this year's live, during the Mini CROW section when Yurippe was sitting and playing keyboard, how long was her skirt? Could you see her knees? Was a lot of her thighs exposed?

I do think Yurippe has started looking more her age lately. She's still plenty cute, though lol. Nana-sama's youth is just unnatural lol.

>275 There are Yurippe videos on the official site, the fan club site, and hotexpress.

>Official I wish they'd stop updating the radio information on the actual day... I mean, Yurippe is already in Tokyo.

>280 　　　Maybe they deliberately announced it on the day because it would be dangerous if too many people gathered for a public live broadcast.

>280 With an announcement like this, I can't even listen to the radio... Well, maybe it's good for keeping the creepy otaku away lol.

>282 Hey, creepy otaku. You got stopped pretty effectively lol. Serves you right lol.

● 4/12 (Mon) 11:30–12:55 JFN “ONCE” Live appearance ● 4/12 (Mon) 21:00–24:00 FM FUJI “NEVER MIND” * Public live broadcast from Yoyogi Studio VIVID! Huh??? Isn't 9 p.m. kind of late? Yurippe is staying overnight tonight, huh.

I wish they'd told us sooner. I already made plans to go out. In that case, I'll drag everyone along to Yoyogi...

>282 I think so too. If I'd known sooner, I could've set the recording timer. >283 You are a complete creepy otaku lol. You're overreacting way too much to the phrase “creepy otaku” lol. You just exposed yourself lol.

All right, I happen to be free, so I'll go to Yoyogi. Someone bring a portable radio, please.

Magazine ● “Hyper Hobby,” issues published 4/1 and 5/1 ● “Nikkei Entertainment,” published 4/4 ● “Animedia,” published 4/10 ● “TOKYO HEADLINE,” published 4/12 ● “Voice Actor Grand Prix,” published 5/10 Yurippe has finally broken into the bro-media.

The photo of Yurippe uploaded to the ONCE page is way too cute lol.

The Staff Blog was updated. So they're promoting in Tokyo until Wednesday after all. Nana-san and the old man might only be there on Wednesday, though.

Fifth clap.

Sideways peace sign, thinking she's cute.

At the Nishinomiya event, will Yurippe and Okamocchi alternate handing out the posters? If so, I absolutely have to pray that I get Yurippe...

I became a GaneClo fan because of the Golgo 13 ending theme, but when I watch their early footage, Yurippe's eyes look different. Did she get plastic surgery? Not that I care.

>293 They're all Yurippe. If you have two event tickets, you can either line up twice or get one handout each from Yurippe and Okamocchi!!

Her makeup changed, right? Heavier eyeliner and a more sharply defined look.

>295 Huh, Tokyo too? I want Nana, though.

The vocalist has such an unpleasant singing style. The melodies are weird too. Do the fans actually like that about her?

I wanna go on Wednesday— But if my work only just finished today, there's no way I can make it Wednesday—!

Are Yurippe and Mochi staying overnight until Wednesday? I mean, with those two, it just looks like a couple taking a trip together.

>298 Actually, that weirdness creates a rarity and addictiveness you don't find in ordinary J-pop.

>300 Speaking of a couple's trip, obviously you mean Yuri-Nana's secret Okinawa trip.

>298 Whether you find it gross or weird is your own sensibility.

They are airing the commercial during prime time too, though.

>301 So I guess that's true. I happened to listen to it with a few friends, and they all said it was gross. It must be very love-it-or-hate-it. The people who like it are probably a minority.

>305 Probably. I think it's not famous because only a minority of people like it... But once you fall for it, you can't escape. That's what this group is like. If you start becoming a fan of this group, welcome aboard!!!

I want to smell Yurippe's genitals.

I hear them every time I watch Conan, but I still can't get to like them... Sorry for sounding like an anti. My bad.

I'm jealous—and scandalized—by Mochi going on a two-night, three-day overnight business trip with Yurippe.

The diary was updated too.

>309 Well, they're probably already dating.

By the way, what's going on with Aiko Kitahara?

>312 She's with a management agency outside Being, so there's nothing Being can do about her.

>311 It's a business relationship.

Phew, I barely made it in time to listen to FM Fuji lol. By the way, the guest right before them was SFP, who I like too. Those two acts are releasing their CDs on the same day~

>297 Oh, you mean last time in Nishinomiya. I don't know about Tokyo. It should be the same in Nishinomiya, though.

I want to smell Yurippe's poop.

This is such a boring radio show. Get Yurippe on already.

The DJs are terrible no matter what day it is.

They're not appearing until the 10 p.m. hour? I should've gone to Yoyogi.

>309 Yurippe → Green Car, luxury hotel Mochi & staff → unreserved seats, business hotel Sounds like there's a difference in their treatment tiers.

I want to smell Yurippe's bodily fluids.

>321 During “Stay,” it was: Yurippe & Mochi: one-tier-better lunch Staff: convenience-store bento

Yesterday, the Over Drive commercial was playing on a giant screen near Shibuya's scramble crossing! I got so distracted staring at Yurippe while crossing the street.

All the GARNET CROW fan radio videos on NicoNico are gone. I was looking forward to the next one.

>323 Apparently Yurippe had built up a huge amount of stress, so the staff must've been trying to take care of her too lol.

I solved it myself. Apparently it doesn't show up if you search for “garnet crow.”

Everyone's making Yurippe work way too much.

This is the first I've heard about the staff eating convenience-store bentos. The manager probably ate a nice lunch with them, though.

Gane Kuro is here.

2010.04.12 (Mon) Yuri Nakamura Hello, everyone~ I'm Yurippe, head of the publicity department. Today I'm making a live public radio appearance. FM FUJI “NEVER MIND” Live public broadcast from “STUDIO VIVID”! Scheduled appearance time: around 10 p.m. Well, at last, the new single “Over Drive” is being released this Wednesday! It's a refreshing pop song that goes perfectly with blue skies and a crisp breeze. I think it'll feel really good if you listen to it outdoors while walking or jogging, so please give that a try. And of course, please see the movie too!

I must be a weirdo for not being able to find the GARNET sound in Over Drive.

Yurippe called out “As the Dew” herself for the first time!

I'm planning to go to Toyosu, but I have class, so I won't arrive until around 5 p.m... I reserved the CD at HMV, so I have an event ticket, but will I make it even if I only go for the handout event?

>334 This is just the schedule as planned: After 15:00　　Rehearsal 16:00　　　　　Live starts Around 16:30　Live ends, break Around 16:40　Event starts At five seconds per person, 400 people would take about 30 minutes. You might make it??

>329 The convenience-store bento part was a joke.

Nana forgot her stage outfit and wore Yurippe's clothes instead? lol

Meanwhile, Angela Aki was promoting her new song on NHK.

>338 Don't say thatー(´；ω；｀) They're Sony Music, after all...

>337 Seriously?

>335 Where is that listed?

Yurippe has gone full Pinkippe lately.

My job as a home security guard is busy on the 14th, but maybe I can rearrange things and make it to Toyosu.

Yuri and Nana in the Over Drive PV are way too beautiful! They've surpassed "Yesterday"!

>343 You should stop by Kiba Hello Work too.

The PV arrangement and the CD audio seem different.

The early-release day is here ｷﾀ━━━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━━━ !!!

Hope it sells like crazy.

I want to walk around town holding Yuri-san's hand.

I don't want people thinking stuff like Over Drive is the GARNET sound, so please don't let it sell.

When will it arrive if I order from Amazon? Tomorrow?

Does anyone more beautiful than Yuri-san even exist? No, right?

Yurippe is CGI. There's no way a human that beautiful exists. Why hasn't everyone noticed?

This is my first time attending one of the events, but can I still get a CD with an event ticket at HMV if I go buy it tomorrow...? I only just decided to go, so I didn't preorder;

>354 This is only based on what happened in Kawasaki last year, but you could just buy one at the venue on the day. I got to the venue about two hours before it started and ended up around the third row from the front. Yurippe and Okamocchi were super close, and I was so moved!

>355 Thanks for the reply! Buying one at the venue is probably the safest bet, right? I'm planning to get to Nishinomiya by 10, but I'm going with a friend and don't want to keep them waiting while I buy it... Though that's my own fault (^_^;) Still, I'd be totally happy with around the third row! I'll do my best (;_;) Somehow I'll make itｗ

After listening to yesterday's radio, I finally understand why Yurippe was in a bad mood at last year's Yokohama Blitz.

ttp://www.07ch.net/up2/src/lena4337.jpg

>357 Why?

I want to interrogate Azuki for a good hour with Yurippe.

>359 That day.

Putting the posts above together, Nana forgot her costume on the day of the Yokohama show and Yurippe made her wear her own. So does that mean Yurippe was mad at Nana over that, and that's why she was in a bad mood?

>332 I think so too. Maybe it changed quite a bit because it got rejected five times.

A little late, but the Ninnaji DVD is pretty good.

>362 Did the size even fitｗｗ?

>337 Seriously?ｗ (*´∀`*)

No matter how you listen to it, it's definitely the GARNET sound. The other four songs are even more likely to be the GARNET sound, though.

>357 I'm curious about why too. >362 Yurippe isn't the kind of narrow-minded person who'd get mad over something that minor. Though maybe she was mad about the fact that Nana forgot something for an important show. Or maybe Nana was just too depressed...

>363 Nana is thin and has a great figure, so it probably did fit, but she's taller than Yurippe, so the length may have been a bit shortｗ

>369 Wrong reference: ×>363 → ○>365 Sorry for the double post.

>335 Thanks. Sounds like I might just barely make it, then. It'd be heartbreaking to go all the way there and find out it wasn't happening... but I'll try to hurry as much as I can!

I happened to be listening to Cocco, and it made me want Yurippe to sing "Jukai no Ito."

>368 Then it must be that. She was supposed to return from India that day but didn't, and the TV reported that a Japanese national had been caught up in an incident. (The rest is just my imagination.) Everyone was worried, but then she casually came back, grinning like nothing had happened.

>371 You'll probably be fineｗ Since regulars who keep trying to shake hands even though they're not allowed to will hold things up.

>374 Well, even if that was a joke, handshakes are a bit much. A musician's hands are their lifeline, you know.

>373 Th-that's it!ｗ And then they made up and got all lovey-dovey b(ry, right? I get itｗ

I just bought the CD. So the Director's Cut of As the Dew was a scrapped promotional video?

Yuri-san is a sheltered heiress who's received elite music training since childhood. It's a miracle that a woman this beautiful exists. And I can't believe she's a virgin too.

For those who bought the regular edition, what is the standby Flash like?

>379 Mine arrives from Rakuten Books tomorrow.

"la la la" feels more like GARNET CROW.

La La La is straight-up dark pop.

I suddenly got scheduled for a night shift tomorrow, so maybe I'll go to the event before work. The problem is whether I can secure an exchange ticket, since I never expected to be able to go. Will I still make it to HMV tonight...?

I haven't heard La La La yet, but is it kind of like "hispeed special oneday"?

>384 What's "hispeed special oneday"? Hmm, I think it's kind of like "Hare Dokei."

>385 You don't know hi-spe...?!!

>386 Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten a handle on all of them. I bought the fifth-anniversary best-of and got interested in the artist ↓ I officially became a fan with "Namida no Yesterday." Still just a newbie.

I recently remembered the bonus CD that came with SATY's B version, so I played it and was blown away by all the god-tier songs.

>375 There are a lot of people in the Kanto area who try to shake hands despite the ban, so I wish the staff would enforce it more strictly.

When I try to play the DVD bundled with Over Drive in WMP, >A digital copy protection error has occurred between the DVD drive, decoder, and video card, >so this DVD cannot be played. I get that message. Has anyone managed to play it in WMP?

>388 The "Stay - Yoake ver." is a gem that can stand alongside the "Seichi no Dejavu ver." It's a song I'd definitely want to listen to before bed or when waking up.

I'm broke and on the verge of becoming a NEET, but I bought both the first-press and regular editions. And even though I have no interest in Baarō, I bought two of Baarō's advance tickets too. It's all to become fodder for Yurippe!

>388 "God-tier songs"? You mean AKB? lol

>392 Buying Baarō's advance tickets won't feed Yurippeｗ If you're going to buy something anyway, you might as well buy the Baarō theatrical movie soundtrack. Being GIZA Group is the distributor, so at least some of it might go toward feeding Yurippe.

On a weekday, in Toyosu, which isn't even easy to get to, starting at 4:00 p.m.〜 I don't think that many people will show up.

Since Conan is involved, we'll prepare some planted audience members.

>394 Judging by the soundtrack's contents, Nakamura isn't involved, is heｗ It doesn't even include Over Drive. What kind of movie soundtrack is this supposed to be?

>397 The theme song isn't included on Conan movie soundtracks.

Makes you laugh, rightｗ?

Well, I bought it based on the simple thought that if the movie became a hit, people might pay attention to the theme song too... It's a tiny contribution, butｗ I hope this one sets a new box-office record...´ω｀

I bought it.

>390 Use GOM Player.

>388 SATYｗｗｗ

Please give us a report on yesterday's radio show.

>388 SATYｗｗｗ I totally forgot about that. I'll give it a listen too.

Yuri-san in the OD PV is so beautiful I can't get anything done...

Got the CD. Maybe it's just me, but it looked like only the display copy of the first-press edition was left.

Even though it was Amazon, it somehow arrived on the early-release day...

I think I like lalala better than Over Drive.

As expected, there were only about 15 people at yesterday's live broadcast.

Kanto otaku are so heartless. No matter how sudden it was, they could've gone after work.

Is AZUKI having a "ヒュルルル" boom?

Shinjuku only had the regular edition left(´･ω･｀) Since I managed to secure an exchange ticket, I guess that's good enough. Maybe I'll buy the limited edition separately.

Speaking of which, when I went to Sofmap in Akihabara on Sunday, they were selling the first-press B edition of Locks for 1,500 yen.

Over Drive is actually pretty good when you listen to the whole thing. When I heard it at the live venue, I thought it was as mediocre as could be, but based on my first impression, it might be my favorite of their recent singles...

Yurippe makes my heart go doki-doki(*´д｀*)

>387 It's an early-period problematic work, so give it a listen. In the Gane threads about eight years ago, it was an indispensable work whenever people talked about Azuki.

I want to hear lalala live.

lalala is too godlyｗ I'd pay 1,260 yen for just that one song.

If Nana forgot her costume at the Yokohama show and Yurippe made her wear hers, does that mean Nana's stage outfit was different only at Yokohama?

That stuffed seagull ruined As the Dewｗｗ

The director's cut version of As the Dew is seriously lame. If you're going to film some incomprehensible bird like that, use the time to film the members instead...

Maybe I'll rent it tomorrow.

I was so busy listening to lalala that I hadn't watched the DVD, but I just did. I'm dyingｗ Include the original PV, damn itｗ Give me back the old guy from the introｗ

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3066216 Watching the director's cut reminded me of this.

http://beebee2see.appspot.com/i/agpiZWViZWUyc2VlchQLEgxJbWFnZUFuZFRleHQYos1pDA.jpg

If they were going to put a bird in it, they could've shown Okamocchi's guitar technique, or Furui-san's god hands, or something.

I was planning to buy the regular edition, but seeing it get panned this hard has me curiousｗ

http://i40.tinypic.com/281c8yw.jpg Why couldn't they just make it 16:9? The previous live DVD had black bars at the top too.

http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org807383.jpg http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org807386.jpg

So Yurippe really was an otaku after all.

I guess this week's ranking will look something like this‥(´･ω･`) ① BUMP OF CHICKEN ② Perfume ③ Fuyumi Sakamoto ④ Kou Shibasaki ⑤ Angela Aki ⑥ GARNET CROW ⑦ Tatsuro Yamashita

>432 It's letterboxed, so if it's playing back like that, there's something wrong with your viewing setup, that's all...

>428 My abs are dyingｗｗｗ It'd be way better to have a comedian appear, like that one band doesｗｗ

I'm going to masturbate to Yurippe now.

>435 Even so, that's tied for their highest-ever single ranking. I'd love for it to make it to number five, though.

Tell me more about Nana's lewd comments at the live show. When she said some weird juice came out, did she mean pussy juice? Nana's face on the cover of fan club newsletter vol. 3 is way too sexy. Those half-open eyes and half-open lips. I ended up masturbating. I want to have some steamy sex with Azuki.

>438 I think you should say "Yuriny."

The intro to 1, 2, 3 sounds like "doubt." Apparently they say it "one, two, three," though. Until I heard it, I thought it was "ichi, nii, san."

>435 I figure it'll normally be around tenth place.

I figure it'll be third place.

Correction: I'm going to Yuriny using Yurippe as material now.

If Yurippe is an anime otaku, I'll become an anime otaku too.

Amazon shipped it on the 12th. That's fast.

I want Yuri-san to tell me, "I want to stay closer to you."

I've finished Yuriny using Yurippe as material.

>449 I think you're supposed to say, "Phew..."

The influence of gross otaku is showing up in the lyrics too. "Things dancing overhead and over drive." In other words, you wanted Yurippe to sing about leaving the bottom-feeder gross otaku behind and continuing to make refreshing music for the decent fans, right? As expected of Nana-san.

It'd be nice if GARNET CROW got on Nippon TV too, since they're connected to the Conan movie. http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org808248.jpg http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org808250.jpg

Phew...

Yurippe looks cute in the jacket photo. The fact that someone this cute is 32 gives me chills.

I listened to lalala 20 times.

I'm sorry, Tatsuro Yamashita. I'm sorry, Tatsuro Yamashita. I'm sorry, Tatsuro Yamashita. I'm sorry, Tatsuro Yamashita. I'm sorry, Tatsuro Yamashita.

Both songs on the new single are really catchy. Yurippe's talent hasn't dried up at all.

I want to update Stablo together with anime-otaku Yurippe.

Yeah, Over Drive has a beautiful opening, but the Tatsuro part is a letdown. If you're from Azuki-san's generation, when someone gives you that melody, you'd want to follow it with "Silent~," right? La La La is an insanely cool song, but it's so Western-sounding that the Japanese lyrics feel out of place.

Why is Yuri-san so beautiful?

When it hits midnight, are they going to steal Over Drive from the collaboration site?

It's a great single. This is why I can't quit being a GARNET CROW fan.

What's this about Yurippe being an otaku?

>463 She came out and admitted on the radio that she's an anime otaku.

>464 Even if it's for the MÄR fans, building a role like that must be hard.

She said she likes Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit and space-themed stuff, not MÄR Heaven. You can listen to it on Nico, by the way.

Yurippe looks like Balsa, doesn't she? Except for the boobs.

>466 MÄR fans are the ones who'd be happy about that kind of role-building. Conan fans don't care.

I don't care what it takes, I want to marry Yuri-san.

Is the regular edition's case one of those flimsy types?

What? What other kind is there? It's just a totally ordinary plastic case.

Yurippe's flustered-sounding voice is irresistible.

I bought it at HMV Abeno Hoop! Got an event ticket too! I love how Over Drive suddenly turns upbeat! Is this one another grower that gets better the more you listen?

If you imagine the songs from around the second album with their recent style, I guess they'd turn out like that. Personally, I feel like the old man has been gradually getting worse.

>471 The flimsy cases are used for things like "Yume no Hitotsu" and "Sekai wa Mawaru~." The ones that aren't are things like "Doing all right"... Sorry, I don't even care anymore.

>474 Do you mean his looks, or the music?

>476 The arrangements. Maybe it's because the compositions have become formulaic.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2388637 30:18〜 hi-speed special oneday

>464 That was yesterday's radio show, rightｗ I just listened to it on Nico. Come to think of it, I think she said before that she sings anime songs at karaokeｗ

Everyone sings anime songs.

She sang an anime song on her debut single, though.

An Ustream live broadcast linked to Twitter has been announced! ttp://www.hotexpress.co.jp/news/100413_hamasaki/

If they were going to do that, it would've been fun if all the members appeared in Conan as voice actors!

>477 Tetsuya Komuro once said that once sales stabilize to a certain degree, things become formulaic.

Yuri-san, Okamocchi, Azuki-san, Furui-san, thank you for the god-tier songs. I feel like I have hope to keep living again.

The melody of OVER DRIVE is exactly like Tatsuro Yamashita's "Christmas Eve"...

>486 That's just your imagination. If you listen to the instrumental, I think you'll understand that they're different. Besides, I'm already sick of this joke.

They're completely identical, though.

Is something going to happen on the collaboration site in five minutes?

Three minutes leftｗｋｔｋ

Did something happen?

Still okayｗ

>484 So GARNET CROW can't escape the framework Komuro built, huh.

Since it says "at twilight," I guess it'll be in the evening.

When the sun goes down and it starts getting dark. Around 6 p.m.?

Maybe around the time the smell of dinner starts filling the streets.

I heard they're getting an airship ready.

Over Drive doesn't really sound like GARNET CROW, but it's surprisingly a grower.

Is it around the time of day in the lyrics of "Nora"? Sunset fading away... The smell of dinner...

Whenever a new song comes out, there's always someone who calls it a grower.

I bought Over Drive today. Should I lock it away in a safe so Kaito Kid doesn't steal it? >500 I agree. This whole "grower, grower" thing...

Can't go selling it cheap, right?

Kaito Kid definitely isn't coming.

Maybe Nagato Kid will come instead. Heh＾＾

Kaito Kid: "The law doesn't say it has to be updated exactly at midnight" and "I can't tell you the update time yet."

The special site has been sluggish for a while now. Everyone's accessing it too muchｗ

Kaito Kid stole something very important. Your expectations and your time.

I became a fan through Spiral, but after A Hundred Years of Solitude I started thinking GARNET CROW was no good anymore and stopped buying their CDs. But Over Drive is really good, for the first time in a while. I like the part where the tempo suddenly changes, like in "Mawari-michi." It really feels like a movie theme song. And the lyrics are good too. Their recent songs don't have that swaying feeling anymore.

I recommend listening to SATY.

>509 I listened to STAY, but the only songs I liked on that album were "Hello sadnes" and "Koi no Aima ni."´｀ The "Hyakunen," "doing," and "Hana Yure" singles struck me as unbelievably bad^^; I don't think they're actually bad, but the compositions felt kind of stale, and they were way too weak for singles.

You should listen to various albums besides GARNET CROW too.

For a while now I've had "La La La," "Sorekara," and "1, 2, 3" on heavy rotation.

>510 I bought it on release day too, and "Hello sadnes" was about the only song I thought was good. But I listened again recently (after the last live show), and got hooked on "Koi no Aima ni," "ON THE WAY," "Elysium," and "Rainy Soul." The singles are still underwhelming as usual, except for "Yume no Hitotsu"...

For me, "Koi no Aima ni" was in a class of its own from the first time I heard it.

For anyone who couldn't get the early release today, please post the lyrics to La La La!

>514 For some reason, it was only after hearing the mini-GARNET CROW version that I started listening to the original too...

>510 I mostly agree. Nora was so good that I didn't think they were hopeless, but I was distant enough this time to actually hesitate over buying the CD. Still, I'm glad I bought Over Drive!

Oh, I thought the STAY songs weren't bad when heard live. When they sang "Fall in Life ~Hallelujah~" at the countdown, it was fun shouting "Hallelujah!" together too.

I skipped the regular edition of Over Drive because it had the same picture as the soundtrack. But I'm curious about the GARNET CROW photo on the backｗｗ

I love Yurippe.

I really like the Over Drive instrumental too. As for lalala123, I find it pretty iffy personally. The reviews here seem pretty high, though... That surprised me a bit. I'll keep it on heavy rotation and see whether it turns into a grower for me.

GARNET CROW's fate will probably be decided by Over Drive... They've already put out a best-of, so honestly they're right on the verge of getting dropped. Are they going to follow Saegusa's fate...? Aiuchi too, though.

>522 They're a major act. There's no way they'd get fired. Besides, they're a creative collective. If they fired them, GIZA would have no songwriters left.

Sorry, everyone. Listening to As the Dew followed by 1, 2, 3, there's no awkwardness at all! Now I understand why everyone calls it a god-tier song! It was my ears that were rotten all along, orz. I hereby scold myself for even one moment of saying, "Maybe this isn't any good..." Even so, I'll keep being a fan without giving up... Ah, I'm sorry. The As the Dew PV: The old guy's movements are even more godlike than usual... Was he possessed by a god? Nana's movements are pretty sharp too! And Yurippe is more beautiful than ever. But the bird... that cage is way too small for it. Poor thing.

If GARNET CROW gets dropped, I think Aiuchi is in trouble too. Even though it was a concept album, its highest ranking was only 48th. And Aiuchi hasn't appeared on the jacket photos for two releases in a row, so you can tell they aren't very motivated. Her new song is a digital single, too.

>525 It's the same with Shizukusa: cut costs with digital-only releases, then hope for a ringtone hit → breakout... That's probably the planｗ They've tried launching a guitar-rock label too, but it hasn't made any splash at all, so I guess things will stay the same from here on out.

Why does she appear on local TV stations like Menkoi~? I miss going to the audience for Hey×3.

Yurippe and Mochi on the back of the Mini CROW lyric booklet are kind of cuteｗ Looking at it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, so I'd love to use it as my phone wallpaper.

Whether it's Conan or anything else, their sales don't change much from usual. That's GIZA for you.

Kuraki, GARNET CROW, and Aiuchi are GIZA's untouchable strongholds, I think. Aiuchi is getting pretty rough sales-wise, but thanks to her early hits she still has decent name recognition, so her range of activities is surprisingly broad.

It's rare for a tie-in to get so little exposure on terrestrial TV. They should play it in the movie commercials.

Kuraki isn't with GIZA anymore, right?

A trap I happened to fall into.

A GARNET friend emailed me saying they're already lining upｗ I wonder if they want to be at the very front and get on TV.

GARNET and Aiuchi should both be fine. Apparently selling 10,000 CDs a year is enough to break even. But GIZA is probably unsure how to market Aiuchi too. It's probably harder to market a female solo singer as she gets older. At this point they might as well switch to the deep world of Professor Azuki and sell Aiuchi as a more mature artist. Existing fans might say she's "gotten gloomy," though.

Aiuchi has aged so much, man. Yurippe's beauty is abnormal.

Aiuchi's anime voice hasn't changed, at least.

Kind of a weird thing to say right after a new song came out, but... STAY is a great album.

I'm scheduled to arrive at 4 p.m. today. I can at least watch from the standing area, right...?

If anything, you'll be kneeling.

Maybe I should go early... LaLaport.

>527 Apparently this isn't their first time appearing on a regional program. It's just the first time the information about it was postedｗ Just how lazy is the official staff... I bet I've missed a lot of programs too, orz.

Tomorrow is already Kansai radio from the morning. They must be exhausted. Is All Night pre-recorded?

Whatever, stop abbreviating it as "Obadra." For someone from the OBA-Q and Doraemon generation, that abbreviation feels really weird.

Moba-dora.

速報 ① 7,115 BUMP OF CHICKEN ② 5,601 Perfume ③ 1,149 GARNET CROW

That's not many. Is this really all they can do these days? I wonder if there aren't that many people coming to pick up GARNET posters today either.

There was never going to be that many people on a Wednesday afternoon. The fanbase is getting older too. They used to be students, now they're working adults. I'm going to rush over right after work! I wonder if I'll make it...

速報, continued ① 7,115 BUMP OF CHICKEN ② 5,601 Perfume ③ 1,149 GARNET CROW ④ Fuyumi Sakamoto ⑤ Angela Aki ⑥ Kou Shibasaki ⑦ Tatsuro Yamashita ⑧ NYC ⑨ Kiyoshi Hikawa ⑩ Kaori Mizumori

Beating Fuyumi Sakamoto, who had that much TV exposure, is a pretty good result, isn't it?

Wasn't Sakamoto-chan last week?

I'm a company employee too, and I really want to go today. My office is only a 20-minute subway ride from Toyosu, but work is work... It'd be great if they kept it going until 7, but if it ends at 6, it'll be tough. Anyway, it's already decided that I'm going to Nishinomiya this weekend(lol).

>549 They beat Angela. At least they won't look outclassed on the 18th.

See? I told you. They'd take thirdｗ

HARD GIZA JAPAN!!

Over Drive was kind of "hmm" at first, but I came to like it more and more as I listened! It's so refreshing!

Out of those 1,149 copies, I bought two. So that's 1,147 in reality...

What, don't you count as a person?ｗ

I have a feeling Shibasaki and Sakamoto will climb up.

>559 Since it'll be sold at theaters this time too, sales should be better than usual. They'll probably ship a ton over the weekend.

All you Conan-side fans attending today's event, please buy some merchandise too.

I suddenly felt like listening to them for the first time in about eight years, searched on YouTube, and only then found out there was live footage. It was my first time seeing them moving around. I was shocked by how great AZUKI Nana's figure is. Sorry for thinking she was one of those B-ing-style beauties who only look good after the jacket photo is edited.

>559 That's probably how it'll go. I don't really care about sales, but I hope it sells at least a little for the sake of their future activities. The Conan ED "Doing" opened with 12,000, and the album-preview single "Hana Saku Yure" with 8,000... Is 20,000 for the Conan movie song Over Drive impossible(´･ω･`)?

Honestly, I think GIZA is terrible at business. CD 1. Over Drive 2. la la la Sorekara 1, 2, 3 3. As the Dew - T STYLE version - 4. Over Drive - Tenkuu version - 5. Over Drive - instrumental - DVD As the Dew - Director's Cut - Over Drive - Music Clip - They should've released it like this.

Stablo got updated.

>564 What's T STYLE?ｗ Besides, normally they shouldn't have released the best-of in February. They should've released Over Drive / As the Dew as a double A-side single → then put both songs on a tenth-anniversary best-of around July.

Sorry, I forgot to sage＞＜

>563 If it suddenly breaks 10,000 on the first day, I think they might manage. This looks like a pretty large-scale movie event. It might even make the entertainment news. Ever since Dentsu got involved, they've had more exposure outside of music shows too.

The lyrics to lalala don't sound like something Azuki would write. Did Mochi actually write them?

Heading to Toyosu now.

I'm near Shimbashi, and there's an advertising blimp for the Conan/Over Drive tie-in flying around. It's getting blown all over the place by the strong wind. Is it even going to make it to Toyosu? I'm going to go tell Azuki-san not to die. Man, being unemployed is the best. Please keep holding events during weekday daytime hours from now on too.

>569 With a melody like that, I can understand not feeling like writing elaborate Japanese lyrics. It's a good song, but please stop making stuff like that into the GARNET sound. If that's all it is, I might as well listen to Western music.

This time they're really going to be on Fukushima TV, right? Recently, the official site posted appearance information twice, and both appearances got canceled without even an explanation...

>569 "Ra La La" "Futari" "stay" "Over Drive" Could Ohguro actually have been Azuki all along?

There are hardly any students at this time on a weekday. Lots of people over 30.

There are plenty of CDs for sale. The crowd is moderate.

The stage is low, so if you come now you might not be able to see the show.

Damn, I can't go because of work. Did everyone who went take the day off?

It's been a while since I posted from my phone, so I forgot to sage.

>578 Rather than having the day off, I took the day off. Paid leave is for times like this, you know. But now I'm at Iidabashi, orz. How can there be nobody here and I still can't see anything? What the hell?

I saw a photo on a fan's blog of a security guard standing in front of the display case. What a surreal sight.

>578 I'm the real loser: I took the day off and still can't go.

You really can't see anything? Can't you see from above either?

Over Drive is pretty good in its own right. Compared with their four most recent singles, anyway. It's a movie tie-in, and I think the musical style is just right. I think the lyrics to lalala sound like something Nana would write, like "The Aftereffects of Happiness."

Since there's no Conan skit, I have a feeling the Kansai event will have more songs.

I think people are starting to get tired of those obviously fake-looking black security guards. They're starting to seem more and more phonyｗ

>585 The time limit there is strict, so it should have fewer songs than last time in Kawasaki.

Whoa— I wanna go to the event— Whoa—

Kaito Kid stole it aaaaaaaaaaah!

Kid shared the treasure with me!

I got a share from Kid aaaaaah!

Can we assume that this share is all there is to the supposed hiding place?

Don't change the channel!! ...So, what's happening?

Apparently today's live show will be posted online on the 17th. No idea whether it'll be the whole thing.

>594 GARNET is the best.

AZYKI Nana: "I wrote la-la-la in 30 minutes."

>582 I'm the biggest loser: I have no work and no money even though I'm off.

Setlist: Yumemi Natsu no Maboroshi Over Conan skit

The handover event is still going on. I haven't seen anyone shaking hands.

>585 The actual performance time over in Nishinomiya is strictly limited to 30 minutes.

The sound suddenly cut outｗ

>597 No, I actually took the day off to go, saw absolutely nothing, and then got sales smiles from Yurippe and Nana. I'm the biggest loserｗ

Is it still going on in Toyosu at 6:30? I'm getting off work soon.

They messed up the lyrics so many times. This is awful.

39,382 Perfume 31,850 BUMP OF CHICKEN *4,743 GARNET CROW Third place is hereｗ

I'm heading over now too. It's a long shot, but whatever.

>596 Seriously?

When was the last time they made the daily top three?

The sales numbers are completely different from the flash reportｗ Looks like 20,000 is going to be tough〜

Around the same level as Doing All Right, give or take.

At this rate, it should make the weekly top five. Maybe it'll set a new personal best.

Is it still not too late?? I haven't even bought the CD.

If you approach GIZA saying, "I want to buy a million CDs," maybe they'll let you.

It's almost over.

I bought the first-press edition. It'll count toward the sales properly, right(-.-;)? Go, GARNET!

I got to tell Azuki-san, "Please don't die."

CD sales are over. I didn't get a poster. I guess I'll just be satisfied with seeing the four of them.

What kind of live show was it? How exactly did Conan and Kaito Kid get involved during the show?

Conan and Kid were tangled up naked.

It's over.

>619 Was it one of those "Aaaah!"-type shows?

>616 It was surprisingly cold this evening. Nana would freeze to death dressed like that. I wanted to give her a hand warmer.

Give us a detailed report already!!!

There really were a lot of creepy people＾＾；

Yurippe's acting was way too cute!! She put her fist on her hip and tilted her head to the side—Yurippe was super cute!!

>605 Today is technically the release date, so between yesterday and today they should manage at least 10,000.

>623 Sorry, I couldn't see anythingｗ Apparently Conan showed up partway through. Yurippe delivered her lines in a totally flat voice. The blimp showed up. Got Over Drive. There was a firecracker-like sound, and something like confetti was scattered around. There was a QR code on the back. They said Kaito Kid was giving you the song he'd stolen. You access it and get a free ringtoneｗ I already bought the CD, so I don't need itｗ Something like that.

I can confirm that Yurippe and Conan hugged.

>627 The one Kid gives you is the movie version, so it's different from the CD audio.

>587,600 Some singers do go over time and perform for around 40 minutes, though. >552 You're coming all the way from Kanto to Kansai for just 30 minutes? Are you serious? I mean, are you sane?

So jealous, so jealous(T_T) I want to see the real Yurippe at least once before I die...(TдT)

You can get the free ringtone on the official site. It's probably the same one.

>631 There are live shows and fan-club events, aren't there?

>631 You're the one who always talks about skirt lengths, aren't you...

Yurippe is so cute in the Over Drive PV. She looks a little delinquent-ish, though.

>634 Heyｗ No, that's not meｗ I'm a woman, so don't lump me in with that perverted, obsessive creep of an otakuｗ

>636 Details, please.

I didn't expect them to do the wiper gesture today. Looks like it might become a regular bit.

>636 I know... I know... Enough already, just be honest...ｗｗ

It feels like there are fewer reports from people who went than there should be... Did not many people attend? Was it just the live show, with no talking segment? I want to know what the members were like, and what the handover was like too.

>641 Damn the bastard inside Bāro's costume... What the hell. http://www5.nikkansports.com/sports/golf/taiken/%EF%BC%A7%EF%BC%B2%EF%BC%97.jpg

I couldn't see anything at all, and when I moved to the back I couldn't hear the MC either. Yurippe kept forgetting the lyricsｗ It was beyond bad—she messed up an absurd number of times. I ran out of time, so I left without getting a poster.

No way—third place on the daily chart!!

>641 Whoa! Yurippe is as cute as ever. I'm jealous of everyone who went. Huh? Rilakkuma is there too.

>644 That's when you do the forced wiper.

>643 They're about the same height as the women, so maybe it's a woman?

>647 What's the forced wiper?

http://www5.nikkansports.com/sports/golf/taiken/%EF%BC%A7%EF%BC%B2%EF%BC%96.jpg Yurippe and Mochi both look terrible in this oneｗ

>650 That's awfulｗ

I wonder if they'll show it on Zoom In.

Details on the lyric mistakes, please.

>649 Read Nikkei Entertainment and you'll understand why Yurippe and Mochi call it that.

>642's article: Thanks for telling us. ----------- Nakamura Yuri shared this behind-the-scenes story: "I got to write five songs, and the fifth one was accepted." ...Furui Hiroto also said, "...The other songs are being kept safe. I won't let them get shelved~!" ----------- The unreleased songs sound promising too.

>641 It's wall-to-wall creepy otakuｗ

>653 I forgot the exact parts, but she mixed up the lyrics from the first and second verses, sang the same lyrics twice, and in "Natsu no Maboroshi" she even sang a part that didn't match the backing track. Apparently she sang Over Drive properly, though.

Yurippe was the only one handing out posters. The other three just stood one step behind her and bowed.

>641 Thanks. Is there a phone-sized version?

>641 I wonder if about 70% of these people are NEETs, with the rest being off work or school—or having taken the day off.

>641 Yurippe's face is so tiny.

>661 Conan is just huge.

>644 >657 What a mess. People have been saying forever that the fanbase is creepy, but it's as bad as AKB48 and Morning Musume—or worseｗ

I don't know if they're the same people, but there are always people carrying banners like that.

The forced wiper has been a thing since the best-of tour, so I guess it's officially permanent from now on.

That woman heckling Okamocchi during his comment really pissed me off. Even during the sound trouble, you could tell from Okamocchi's face that he was irritated, but he handled it normally afterward. That's a true professional.

>665 Wait, is the forced wiper that thing where you wave your hands from side to side, like in "Futari no Rocket"?(＾ω＾ )

FORCED WIPER ＼(･ω･)＞

Yurippe has huge feet.

They got 1,000 people to show up on a weekday? That's impressive.

That bastard inside Conan's costume got hugged by Yurippe.

Third place on the daily chart was unexpected... Since it's a Conan movie tie-in, maybe we can expect sales to last longer than usual...? I wonder.

>641 Things we learned: ・There are roughly 300 people visible. So there must have been another 500 or so around them. ・At live shows the male-to-female ratio is 7:3, but here it's 9:1...... Does that mean the really hardcore ones are mostly old men? ・The guys with banners in the front row are the clueless ones who shouted "Fire him!" at the finale.

Those old guys with the banners are unbelievably gross. They reek of alcohol, have dandruff all over them, and keep going in and out, getting in everyone's way. Gathering in a little Mixi circle is fine, but at least realize you're bothering people.

I didn't make it in time for the live show, but I somehow got a poster! Yurippe's face really was tiny!

>675 Lucky you. Did you get to say anything to her?

Yurippe moe~☆

>673 The people shown are the main crowd who managed to get seats on the stone steps. People standing had to look down from above, so they could barely see anything beyond the first two rows or so.

>676 Nah, I could only manage a quick greeting...ｗ Nana was beautiful too!

Someone said, "I heard that in Osaka already," during Mochi's MCｗ Otaku who still can't read the roomｗ

I thought she had revised Over Drive five times before submitting it, but apparently she was saying she made five songs. So does she have four more upbeat songs in the stockpile?

>679 Huh— Does it look like this from above? 　　おさーん　ナナー　餅 　　　　　　　ゆりっぺ ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 　　　　　　　　←ヲタ　ヲタ　ヲタ

What time is everyone going to get to the venue on Sunday?

>672 I was surprised too. (I thought, with a bit of luck, they might just squeeze into around fifth place.) Besides, the other artists have been flopping so hard‥. (Apparently there was a big-name artist from a major record company who had a great Olympics + beer commercial tie-in recently, and only sold 11,000 copies...)

>683 Around 11. I don't want to see a bunch of old men packed in front of the doorsｗ

>684 It's a Conan movie tie-in, which is practically guaranteed to be a hit, and there's an event too, so it's not really surprising. The thing about Conan movie tie-ins is that even if they sell a bit more during that period, it doesn't lead to lasting momentum.

Yurippe is ultra-moe.

I just noticed—the official site has a blimp flying too!

I'm going to the Osaka event from Nagoya. It's pretty far, though.

>689 Wake up!! It's only 30 minutes!!!!

It's worth going even if it's just to have a poster handed to you.

Azuki and the old guy aren't coming to Nishinomiya? So will the live show feel like Mini GARNET CROW too?

>689 That's impressive. But Nishinomiya isn't Osakaｗ It's Kobe, Hyogo, got it?ｷﾘｯ

It's not Kobe either...

On the 18th, won't they head over to All Night Nippon after the event ends?

>695 All Night is Friday.

Oh, right, it's the 16th. They'll travel after the Shiga radio show?

>689 Well, Sunday is my day off, and it's local for me, so I'll go. But is it really worth traveling from Tokyo or Nagoya to see? If you go, don't turn into the clueless guy who shouted "Fire him!" at the finale.

Is it just me, or do the two women look like they have the same bust size...?

So that means one of them is stufm—

The rapid-growth theory.

I was the one who made them grow.

Perfume and BUMP are in the 30,000s, while GARNET is around 4,000... That's such a huge gap. How low are the other new songsｗ

How were Yurippe's boobs at today's event? Did they make her look busty?

Maybe the actual gap is really tiny... I hear Kou Shibasaki and Perfume are going on Music Station. If they somehow make it to third place for the week like this, I'd be over the moon.

There's a comment video on Musing.

もち　オサーン　なな ゆりっぺ ヲタ　ヲタ→ The poster handover looked like this.

The chorus of lalala feels connected to the poem Nana wrote in the pamphlet for the last live show.

Does Yurippe look busty in the photo because her clothes are shaped like a lantern? Those who went to the live event, what were Yurippe's boobs like in person?

If the Conan effect boosts sales over the weekend, they might make third place.

After ten long years, will they finally make the Oricon top three for the first time?

But the media as a whole is pushing Fuyumi Sakamoto to an absurd degree right now, so they need to sell around 20,000 to make third place. Their highest ever was sixth, so I won't get my hopes up.

Did any brave soul actually talk to Azuki-san? Other than the guy who said "Don't die."

Yuri-san is 32 years and nine months old, so why is she still that beautiful? Is it because she's a virgin?

Since they're doing live appearances on Otsu and α on the 16th, doesn't that mean All Night is pre-recorded? Are they really going to travel there in three hours...?

Yurippe and Mochi are definitely dating. I'm sure of it after seeing them today.

Come to think of it, I rode the same train home as the black security guardｗ

Was Yurippe handing out all the posters herself? I don't know how many people came, but she must've been exhausted. Personally, I'd like to get one from Nana-san.

Everyone got all their posters from Yurippe—even people who got multiple copies. There were four posters total, so it wasn't one from each member.

I figure they recorded All Night when they recorded the latest Gane radio show.

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20100414-00000213-bark-musi I didn't know airships like that still existed.

They can't get on Music Station, but this week's Friday Roadshow is last year's Conan movie, so it'd be nice if they played it there.

If they'd held the event at Lazona, I could've slipped out of work to go. Angela Aki was holding an event at Lazona that night.

The other three are wearing their PV outfits, so why is Azuki-san the only one... Did she forget her costumeｗ

>716 Like what, for example?

Yuri-san is so beautiful I can't sleep at night.

>716 I feel like whenever Yurippe is friendly with a handsome fan, Okamocchi tends to be cold toward that fan.

>727 It was like that on the live tour tooｗｗ

>727 (´･ω･)「I see—」

Those who went to the live event, how were Yurippe's boobs? Were they big, or the usual flat-chested situation?

I want Nana-san to slap me.

"Over Drive" is a good song, but I don't really get what the lyrics are about. Apparently there are other upbeat songs they made as movie candidates in the stockpile too, so the eighth album is definitely going to have a "LOCKS"-like atmosphere, orz.

It even made the top ten on the mora download chart.

Yuri.

Mezamashi said Angela got 10,000 people yesterday...(^ω^)

Conan, what the hell were you doing... Did you seriously only come so Yurippe could hug you? >727 Come to think of it, Yurippe called Mochi "this person" on a radio show. Either she looks down on him that much, or they're really close. It's got to be one or the other. >732 Just because a song was rejected doesn't mean it'll still be the same by the time it gets released. Don't underestimate the old guy's skills.

Conan went out saying he was going to chase Kaito Kid, then came right back to take a commemorative photo. I'm dyingｗ

>735 Nishinomiya is wild.

I wanted to ask: in "la-la-la Sorekara 1, 2, 3," what are they singing after "terashidasarete" in the second verse? I can't make out what comes after "kanata~."

>739 http://i43.tinypic.com/rirzas.jpg

>740 Thanks!!! That was a huge help.

There's a sound in lalala a little after 3:45 that sounds like a drum hit gone horribly wrongｗ

For those who saw the movie, does Over Drive fit the movie?

It's kind of sad that they aren't appearing on music shows.

The Tokyo event started at 4 p.m., and the first person there arrived before 7 a.m. There were already more than 50 people by 10. Osaka looks like it'll be even crazier. It starts at noon, after all〜

>746 Ohhh, you're the first one!? Identified!

http://waichi.sakura.ne.jp/prev/cf07s1/aka.jpg No, no, that's not meｗｗｗ

>743 It's amazing that we got flash numbers two days in a row. There's no basis for comparison since that never happened before, but if the normal multiplier is three to four times, it should end up around 3,500 to 4,500.

Amazing! Go, GARNET!

4743/1149=4.12 1180*4.12=4816 4743+4816=9559 Something like that, I guess.

So that means they'll surpass Hana Saku Yure in two days. It looks highly likely they'll set a new personal best on Oricon for the first time in eight years. Still, it'd be kind of bittersweet if they surpass Yume Mita.

It's still a long way to the crest.

Keep going♪ GARNET CROW♪

I think the female host at LaLaport said they'd stream footage of yesterday's event on some kind of OFFICIAL site... Did she mean the GARNET site? And when will it start?

Was the day basically like this? Early morning: Otaku gradually gather in front of the doors to the 4F Sky Garden. 10:00: The doors open, and everyone runs in at once to fight over seatsｗ 　　　　The guys in the front row from >641 probably grabbed extra space for friends arriving later. 　　　　Yurippe and Mochi probably arrived at the backstage area beside the venue too? Around 11:00: Rehearsal starts. Around 12:00: Mini live show starts. Around 12:30: Live show ends, and the setup is changed for the handover event. Around 12:40: Handover event starts. 　　　　　　Angela Aki probably arrives backstage? Around 1:30: It ends, and Angela fans fight over the seats vacated by the GARNET otakuｗ 　　　　　　Angela Aki's rehearsal starts. Around 2:00: Yurippe and the others leave by car. Around 3:00: Angela Aki's live show starts. After the show, I think there should be a signed display panel at the HMV Nishinomiya Sky Garden store, so check it out. Also, if you hate people who arrive later taking the seats your friends saved, you might want to line up early.

They said it'll be streamed on GARNET's special site on Saturday. Just keep an eye on the official site.

Over Drive was playing as the background music for the weather forecast on PON.

>757 Oh, thanks! I couldn't see anything from below, and I couldn't hear the microphone either. Besides, I have to go to an internet café to use a PC.

The dress Yurippe wore in the Over Drive PV↓ http://cocomotokyo.com/?mode=cate&cbid=731522&csid=0 The dress code for the next live show is going to be LA celebrity or Vivienne, I guess.

Oops, wrong one. http://cocomotokyo.com/?pid=13403179

>761 Amazing. And it's pretty reasonably pricedｗｗ

>761 How did you find thatｗ Anyway, for those who bought the regular edition, what is the standby Flash like? I only bought the first-press edition. Is the regular edition worth buying too?

For some reason, I can't scan the barcode.

>761 If it's LA celebrity style, are the ballet flats Tory Burch? She's pretty fashion-conscious.

The regular edition is better, isn't it? It doesn't get blocked by some weird seagull.

Were they selling the Mini CROW album at the event venue?

>767 It was already sold out.

Fourth or fifth feels kind of meh, so if they're going to do it, third would be nice.

07/04/11 *6th 10 *15,449 *,*36,587 "Like the Wind Across the Seven Seas" (Rina Aiuchi & U-ka Saegusa in db) The Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure Can they beat that?

They won't reach 30,000, will they?

I think they can reach 30,000. Thanks to the movie.

Even 20,000 would be their best since "Bokura dake no Mirai" and "Namida no Yesterday," so I think the first goal should be breaking 20,000.

>772 Seriously? If they hit 30,000 in this day and age, Azuki-san could travel overseas all year and it'd be fineｗ >760 The red stripes cost 2,200 yen. Didn't Yurippe wear them for something before? Or am I imagining it? >761 >Because of the excellent stretch, suitable up to around a D cup.

She used to wear Saint James for striped stuff. http://www.shop-st-james.jp/SHOP/RN11.html When she was younger, she wore brands like Milkfed too. She's not exactly cutting-edge, but she must be pretty fashion-conscious.

>756 So arriving at 10 is already too late.

Why were there so many middle-aged guys standing out at yesterday's event...? Don't they have families? What about work?

>777 Maybe they're the guy who said he got fired from his job? Or maybe they just happened to have the day off.

Over Drive is god-tier. Even though my impression when I heard it live was pretty mediocre...

>779 Whenever Kurose-san is at the live show, every song ends up sounding mediocre.

>780 I don't think Kurose-san is the only reasonｗ It felt like Yurippe sang so earnestly live that the songs lost some of their softness. Over Drive sounds great, though.

The sound system might have been part of the problem at the live show too.

Was the event's backing band just the members? Were the drums and stuff programmed?

Yurippe is pretty down-to-earthｗｗ What about Azuki-san?

>783 The rhythm section was programmed. Furui-san was operating the sequencer on a computer. I think there was a small mixer over by Furui-san too...

Yurippe's interaction with Conan yesterday was cute. >713 I didn't really talk to her, but she teased me when I got my poster. Me: "I like you." Yurippe: "Oh, thank you." Nana: "Straight to the point."

>786 I'm jealous of that insane nerve.

I want Azuki-san to tease me too.

>786 I silently stared at Nana-san for about ten seconds. I was just too nervous to say anythingｗ Nana-san was cute when she opened her eyes wide in confusion.

Full lyrics quoted; omitted here.

I've reported it to Nasdaq.

I've reported it to Kasラック.

Shaved ice is now available.

Yurippe may be down-to-earth, but I can't see any fan spending more on clothes than she does.

Not necessarily.

>786 So that was you. I was right behind you and heard it—I cracked up. I wish I could've said something clever too.

>758 What's PON?

I like Mini CROW too, but am I the only one who wants the Okamocchi segment to come back at live shows?

Figured it out myself.

>797 It's the show that was renamed from "Omoikkiri TV."

26,281 BUMP OF CHICKEN 16,680 Perfume *3,848 Fuyumi Sakamoto *4 GARNET CROW *5 Kou Shibasaki *6 Angela Aki *7 Kaori Mizumori *8 Tatsuro Yamashita *9 NYC 10 ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

GARNET CROW is the only Japanese music I like. GARNET CROW has a bit of a Western-music feel, and it's great that they have their own worldview.

They lost to Fuyumi Sakamoto, didn't they?

What's the gap with Sakamoto!?

If you don't hope for anything, you won't lose anything. But I can't help wanting it. No matter what ranking lies ahead.

Enka is too strong(lol). The Oricon site only gives estimated sales numbers through third place, right?

I'm in love with Yuri again.

In other words, they need one Tamamo Nice Play.

There isn't a single person around me who likes GARNET CROW apart from my mom. Not one person in elementary, middle, or high school either. I have no one to talk about them with... Why is that...orz

>800 Thanks.

>809 Talk with your mom. And have her pay for all your CDs and tickets too. Two birds with one stone.

♪ Lost to winter too〜

http://www.obc1314.co.jp/bangumi/bokuraji/guest/index.php This show is on in Osaka right now too, isn't it?

La La La 1, 2, 3 is a grower.

What do the GARNET CROW members get paid? Nakamura is a bit higher because she appears in the media and sings lead, while Nana and Furui are probably about the same. Since Okamoto isn't involved in the lyrics, composition, or arrangements, is he paid less than the others?

Enka only sells well at the beginning, right? That's the old folks' preorder allotment. I have a bad feeling that people will buy it because of the movie this time.

>816 Sakamoto Fuyumi's was released on 1/7 and has been hanging on this whole time.

Let's fight Fuyumi Sakamoto together—keep requesting GARNET on the radio and get one of those GARNET-logo thermoses!! Sakamoto is still being played right now.

All right! Let's request it!

Sakamoto Fuyumi's song is that "Iichiko" liquor commercial song, so all the old guys know it, right? That's a seriously powerful advantage. If a straight-up enka song hits once, you can live off stage work for ten years. GARNET CROW would be fine for a while if they could hit a huge home run too... Please, seriously.

What's an example of a huge home run in recent normal J-pop? CDs don't sell these days, so everything feels kind of mass-produced.

>820 GARNET could probably do a whiskey commercial.

>816 What kind of take is that? Enka = slow-burn sales.

The chorus of la-la-la sounds like it has something from one of Chitose Hajime's songs mixed in. I'm not saying it's plagiarism, just that it has that kind of feel.

I want MINIQLO to cover "A constellation" and "Are you happy now?"—the songs Mochi provided to Aya Kamiki.

Didn't some site say la-la-la was made with Hall & Oates in mind? Now that you mention it, it does have that feel. Sorry if I'm remembering wrong.

I requested it on NACK5 and they played it!! Sending five emails was worth it.

I'm so happy they held on to fourth place on the chart〜

GARNET is for the hardcore fans. It doesn't have to sell that much(　＾∀＾)

That's just a GARNET otaku's sour grapesｗ Fuyumi-sama, GJ.

Where's today's radio report?

"Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru" is a cover song, though... It's so frustrating.

Even with a Conan movie tie-in, at the end of the day it's just a gloomy group that only appeals to creepy, stinky-faced otaku like the ones at yesterday's eventｗ

Why is GARNET popular with middle-aged guys? It's a mystery what even makes old men discover GARNET in the first place.

My au restriction got lifted. Even though today is the official release date and the second day, sales went down despite the event... When I saw the flash figures, I expected about the same numbers as yesterday. Still, sales are much better than the previous album-preview single, and thanks to everyone else doing poorly, the ranking is pretty high, so good enough! At this rate, we'll finally get to see GARNET on the Music Station ranking again!

There were lots of female fans too. There really were a lot of otaku-looking people, though. What a weird band.

Because they're an idol band.

>830 No, seriously—if it sold too well, we'd have to preorder the CDｗ

>834 What age counts as an old guy?

I completely forgot to watch Music Fighter on Wednesday (technically Thursday), orz. I only have a mobile internet connection, so I can't watch it online... I can watch it on Sunday too, but it's on really late.

I forgot to mention this. The GARNET members themselves average 36 years old, so do we treat them as old men and old ladies too?

>732 Yeah, I don't really understand the lyrics to Over Drive eitherｗ Someone explain themｗ

>838 If they don't sell too much, the live venues are smaller and you can get closer to the artists. It's better if they don't get too popular, past a certain point.

>843 ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)人(ﾟ∀ﾟ )ﾅｶﾏｰ! That's part of it too. I got to see them from the fifth row before, and it was amazing being able to see everything so clearly.

The fans who were young back then have simply gotten older. They've been around for ten years already.

Could Yurippe be choosing Mochi's clothes? Leaving aside that tacky hat, you couldn't imagine his recent outfits coming from Mochi's old sense of style.

I saw them from the front row at Nishinomiya last time, and being that close was incredible. I even got to talk to Yurippe and Okamocchi, so I was more satisfied than at a live show. It was absolutely worth going from Tokyo!! ↑ I wanted to write that yesterday, but I was restricted.

I wonder if there'll be a fan-club event this year.

Over Drive You never stay by my side, and it's so empty. The days we walked together are nostalgic, but I don't want to just accept things like this. Chasing you with high energy, YEAH!!! I'll chase after you like I'm flying, because thinking about you far away makes me happy(´･ω･) Something like that, I guess.

When I go to live shows, I'm always struck by how broad GARNET's age range is. You see parents with their kids, groups who look like students, office-lady types, salarymen, and even grandparents.

Rather than a fan-club event, I want them to do a fan-club-exclusive live show.

Will the movie version of Over Drive be included on the next album?

The official site— the blimp stopped flying＞＜

So they had been preparing the event blimp since Saturday.

April 17–April 30 on the special site: video streaming is here〜

When I watch the Over Drive PV, I can't help grinning at Yurippe's close-up. I grin no matter how many times I watch it. That's right, I'm an old man.

Huh. Did the TV entertainment news not cover it after all? Even Nippon TV's Conan coverage only showed Angela Akiｗｗｗ They betrayed usｗｗｗ

>851 They've done that before.

>857 They did plenty of promotion. On the release date, they even used voice actors to make a special site on the official website. GARNET CROW was the first to get that treatment. Pretty good treatmentｗ

Yurippe seems good at acting spoiled in a cute, kittenish voice. She's gotten more and more girly every year. What's going on?

>834 >845 In Kansai, there are apparently people who were already fans of Rie Sugaya from watching "Kitchu."

>860 That's because she's a girl( 〃▽〃)σ

La La La Sorekara 1, 2, 3 is a great song〜 It lost to the rain. It lost to the wind. (´;ω;`) *sob* That's really how it is. I've just kept losing. It's been nothing but forfeits, orz. Nana-sama is amazing. I love her.

Unblocked?

This year I'm hoping for: 3 singles 1 album A DVD (though Blu-ray would be better) A special GARNET TIME A live show at a World Heritage site around fall A year-end countdown live It's a demanding year, but it's a memorial one, so I want them to do at least that much. Please go at it with a full-on "we can do it, mammoth" spirit.

>865 The members are taking a break from here on out. April–May: Each go to the movies. June: Everyone does whatever they want. July: Start the next production cycle. August: Announce that the best-of tour DVD is coming out. September: Release a single. October: Start the next production cycle. November: Release the best-of tour DVD. December: Countdown live.

Question: Has the GARNET radio show been uploaded to Nico? I think someone mentioned it before, but I can't find it... My computer broke last month, so I haven't been able to listen, orz. Tell me what to search for, please.

Google it.

I fell in love when Yurippe's adorable "I'll do my best" got stuck during the MC at yesterday's live show.

Those who went to the live event, what were Yurippe's boobs like? Big, or the usual flat-chested situation?

>868 I googled it, but nothing came up... I'm searching from my phone and was hitting the limit, so I had to post〜

I want Yuri-san to tell me, "I want to stay closer to you."

She was probably so preoccupied with the skit with Conan yesterday that she seemed more nervous than usual.

A thread showed up on the entertainment board. 【Japanese Music】 GARNET CROW holds a Conan collaboration special event! http://yutori7.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mnewsplus/1271344085/

BEING is so stupid〜 They should've done the same with Kuraki, whom they're pushing so hard: release a good single with a tie-in soon after the best-of, without leaving a gap.

>875 Hint: GARNET is a production collective. Kuraki commissions her composer, lyricist, and arranger.

It's their tenth anniversary, and just when they look likely to set a new Oricon high, they don't appear on national-network shows like HEY×3, Music Station, or MJ... What a waste.

Yuriny felt so good...

>860 I thought so tooｗ She's been especially girly this year. Even on that Time Machine No. 3 radio show the other day, the way she said "hai" was clearly different from usual, even if only for a momentｗ Maybe she's got someone she likes?

She met him at a live show. You want her to say something cool like "To me, ｷﾘｯ," right?ｗｗ

>879 More details, please.

I watched Music Focus, and Yurippe's outfit in the Mini CROW segment looked pretty low-cut. When she bowed, couldn't you see her cleavage? How was it for the people in the first-floor seats?

>879 Compared with before, I think she's become much more girlyｗ I used to think she liked cool, edgy stuff. But lately, she seems surprisingly more into princessy and girly fairy-tale things. She's cute, so I'm totally fine with it.

The Yurippe outfit in this year's Mini CROW segment: Was the chest area loose and lantern-shaped, like the outfit at the LaLaport Toyosu event?

>884 You're so persistent... Go watch the "Yume no Hitotsu" PV. When she raises her arms, you can see her beautiful back too☆

Why are there two keyboard players?

I was still in elementary school when they debuted, but now I'm a working adult. I used to study while listening to GARNET CROW〜

I went to Toyosu, and Nana is definitely popular. Things were pretty normal when Mochi and the old guy spoke, but every time Nana talked there were girls screaming and guys holleringｗ

I want full versions of last year's tour DVD and the CDL DVD.

If you go to Gardens when it opens, will it already be impossible to get a spot where you can see?

>886 Even though he's called a keyboard player, the old guy sometimes has to handle other programmed sounds too. Also, Azuki has the shortest instrumental background among the members (even so, she's been doing it for over ten years now). Yurippe can handle keyboards too, so it's effectively three people, not two.

>890 Apparently it holds around 500 people, but the creepy otaku will be saving spots, so you'd better go earlier.

There was a thread on the entertainment board. AZUKI is really popular. People saying they like the cute keyboard player and stuff. I wonder how many people will run away once they hear AZUKI talkｗ

Last time in Nishinomiya, there were about 20 people lined up before opening. After opening, everyone sprinted to claim a spot. Everyone managed to secure a place in the front rows. The middle of the front row will probably be hard to get, but good luck. Bring a fast friend from the track team.

I want to claim a spot with Ben Johnson.

>894 Sounds like the Nishinomiya Ebisu Fukuo race. Well, be careful not to get hurt.

There seem to be two entrances into Gardens, and people came sprinting from both directions. Ladies, don't wear boots or sandals!! Everyone, wear comfortable sneakers. The middle of the second row might have a better view than the edge of the front row.

I want to save a spot in the bathroom.

I wonder if GARNET CROW made the ranking on today's Music Station.

>742 I bought it today and listened. It really does sound like they took the drums out, huh?

I saw people running while carrying suitcases too, and found myself thinking, "You can do it."

>879 I thought she was dating Mochi, though. Mochi seems to have changed quite a bit too.

I live in the countryside where All Night Nippon GOLD isn't broadcast. I want to die...

Whether they're dating or not, those two clearly have a strong relationship of trust. They say pretty harsh things to each other, but it still works.

>903 When two people work together a lot, people naturally start saying that. Mao Asada and Daisuke Takahashi get treated like a couple too.

Does anyone know what time they'll be on αStation?

>904 Try tuning to 1242 for now. I'm in the countryside outside the network area too, but I can pick up TBS and Nippon Broadcasting. Even if you can't hear it during the day, it might work at night.

Tatsuro... If it were just the music, fine, but even the lyrics are "Silent"... Nana-san is being too cruelｗ

It already plunged at Bunkyodo. I'm dyingｗ

I was thinking, "Why not listen on radiko?" But is it only available in Kanto and Kansai?

>898 That's a lot of work. By the way, my friend is coming from Tokyo and will arrive around 11. It's okay if I save one seat for them, right? Everyone does it anyway.

Hold a live show at Miyajima.

I don't know if they're dating, but I think Mochi and Yurippe make a great match.

Please let them make the weekly top five—!(　´ω｀) (Are they putting CDs on sale at the Conan movie theaters too? When they did Alan's Three Kingdoms II last year, they forced a CD into the movie pamphlet and counted it toward the salesｗ)

>916 Some theaters have them on sale.

>914 That's fake news.

The radio appearance is over. Mochi's third album is apparently coming out in summer.

Yurippe unconsciously whistling is so cuteｗ

>919 The third album, huh. Apparently the other three will take a break when it comes out. Yurippe wants to go overseas.

There are about 20 people in my club, and four of them are GARNET fans. Is that unusually high?

>914 >918 Where was >914's ranking from? The ranks from first through fourth match Oricon's daily chart dated April 14, 2010.

>922 Otaku club, huh. Good luck.

>919 Seriously? Okamocchi's tenth anniversary is finally beginning.

Okamocchi is really getting things done! Even though he kept saying it would be delayed.

>923 Those were fake flash figures posted in the sales thread. Today's report only went through third place, so we don't know GARNET's ranking. 1 2,489 BUMP 2 1,532 Perfume 3 711 Fuyumi Sakamoto That's all it listed.

>922 There isn't a single GARNET fan in my tennis club of 80 people.

I think they'll probably hold on to fourth place, but I don't want them to lose to the original act.

Just check the Oricon daily chart in the evening.

—So if you could use the bow-tie voice-changing gadget, whose voice would you want to have? Nakamura: "Asuka's voice from Neon Genesis Evangelion (Shikinami Asuka Langley)!"

>931 Come to think of it, I saw Asuka's voice actress (Yuko Miyamura?) on TV recently for the first time in ages. (She appeared on a show where a girl cosplaying Asuka traveled around using money earned from blog commentsｗ... Apparently she lives in Australia now.)

The official site updated its media-appearance information. Yurippe goes to Hokkaido way too oftenｗ

Maybe Nana is secretly in Fukuoka too.

Yurippe likes Evangelion? Well, lots of people in show business like Eva.

I was moved when Over Drive started playing at FamilyMart.

Not saying Rei—classic Yurippe. >932 That was a Kansai local show, right? I don't want to watch if Miyamura has gotten ugly.

>935 Maybe she's influenced by Nana-sama. Nana-sama seems like she'd be into manga and anime. When A Hundred Years of Solitude was released, I hear she knew Fist of the North Star better than the male members.

>937 It seems to be produced by a Kansai local station, but for some reason it's also viewable in Tokyo. Saturday late night, maybe on TBS?

Miyane屋 played Over Drive!!! That's amazingーーー！！！！！

Whether Angela overtakes them will depend on the weekend.

>891 Nana-sama has been learning piano since she was little too, hasn't she? >893 I personally liked Nana-sama even more after hearing her talk. >900 I think they'll probably make it. Of course, it depends on today's Thursday figures when they're announced.

Amazon was unusually slow this time. It only just says the item is ready and payment has been confirmed. I contributed a little to the sales, at least. I really want them to beat Angela.

>904 I can't hear it in Kansai either, orz. For some reason, it's not broadcast on Fridays alone... >943 They should easily beat Angela for the weekly ranking. Her previous song already died in the NHK morning drama, and NHK is pushing this one incredibly hard tooｗ

My fan-club membership card arrivedー ...They still haven't reached 10,000 members...

>945 About how many?

Seriously, don't post weird stuff in Angela's thread, you scum.

947 was directed at the person who posted it, just to clarify.

>946 The 995* range.

>947 Which thread? I skimmed the main thread, but I didn't see anyone who looked like a GARNET otaku.

Oh, there really was oneｗ 24:名無しの歌姫 :2010/04/12(月) 22:57:35 ID:K9jAw+3r0 [sage] Hello, I'm a GARNET CROW fan who's going before Angela-san on 4/18( ＾ω＾) Here↓ ● "Over Drive" release commemorative free LIVE at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens 【Date】 Sunday, April 18, 2010, 12:00〜 【Location】 Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens 4F Sky Garden ※Details: http://www.garnetcrow.com/news/live.html There are probably some fans here with bad seat-saving manners, but let's support them in a way that's pleasant for everyone(・∀・) Later.

Were Yurippe and Nana-sama at ZARD's boat live?

They're almost at 10,000. That's impressive even if some members are inactive.

>951 What's the problem? The only people who'd be bothered by it being posted are the ones with bad manners, right?

At the Nishinomiya event, if you claim a seat right when the doors open, what do you do for the two hours before the live show starts? If you leave to go shopping, will the nice seat you went to all that trouble to get be gone when you come back...?

>949 When did you join? They're almost at 10,000. Man, you just missed itｗ

>949 At the end of March. After the Nagoya live show.

I meant >956.

>954 Yeah, I know, but... That was a self-reply to my saying I didn't see anyone who looked like a GARNET otakuｗ

Angela's hereｗ It's only a matter of time before the other enka singer, Mizumori, overtakes them too.

It feels like Angela Aki is better at promotion... >960 Oh, I see. That's what you meant.

They might make the weekly top five, right? Detective Conan's movie premieres tomorrow, after all.

>940 Seriously!? I figured it might happen since it premieres tomorrow, and it really did〜 I wish I'd recorded Miyane屋... What was it like?

『Ten Years, Ten People, Ten Colors: My Crow Story』 ↑Got any funny stories that might get selected?

How much will they play on tonight's Friday Roadshow? The Detective Conan theme song alone won't have much effect. They'll probably play the Over Drive commercial, though.

>857 Technically, it wasn't Nippon TV but Yomiuri TV.

>859 They used voice actors on the special site!? I didn't notice...

What's the weather going to be like on the 18th...? I'm not enough of a fan to go to a live show specifically, but I like their songs fairly well, and Gardens is close to my house and free, so I'd like to go. Also, is it true that GARNET CROW's hardcore fans are creepy?

>970 Not every single one is creepy (probably). Besides, how can you post something like that in this threadｗ

>965 Sorry for the late reply. I was eating. It wasn't anything major, though. The Conan mascot came out, they played a movie-introduction video, and then Conan chatted with the studio with Over Drive playing in the background, something like that. I don't think Over Drive even played for 30 secondsｗ Still, even when they introduced the movie before, they only ever played the theme song, so I was happy to hear Over Drive for once.

>971 Sorryｗｗｗ I was an idiot for believing the anti-fan postsｗ

>970 If you don't go early, you might end up watching from the back. If you can, buy a CD at the venue too.

>972 Thanks.

I want to listen to All Night Nippon, but there's so much static... It's barely understandableｗ

>892, >894 Thanks. I secured an event ticket, so at least I should be able to watch it. I wonder if there'll be a long line for the event too...?

>976 Apparently you can listen clearly online in some regions.

Hey! Wait, wait! Sorry for posting from my phone, but does this mean GARNET CROW is going to be on a music show!? Title: "The End of the World: 'MUSIC J,' the Music Show Pushing Hardest Right Now" — Yahoo! News URL: http://news.mobile.yahoo.co.jp/news/view/20100416-00000003-exp-musi.html

>974 Thanks for the advice. Does the CD come with an event ticket?

>979 Whoa. I thought it was the usual joke, but it's actually true〜 I'm so happy〜

The commercial before Music Station is here!!

>981 Seriously!? We did it! The commercial before Music Station is here.

>979 If that's true, I'll be happy. Commercial TV is influenced by agency power, but that show's producer has a lot of clout, so its lineup is different from other programs.

>983 Sorry, wrong reference. ×>981 → ○>979

It's been a long time since they appeared on TV. I'm so happy.

Here: ■ TV appearance information!! ● Program: NHK General "MUSIC JAPAN" Scheduled to air Sunday, April 25, from 6:10 p.m. ※ Broadcast times and other details may change. Thank you for your understanding. For details, see the "MUSIC JAPAN" website. http://www.nhk.or.jp/mj/ ■ GARNET CROW Official fan club G-NET

I'm so happy〜!!!! Record it! Record it!

I found the short version of the "Watashi wa Kaze" PV from B'z's Tak Matsumoto's solo album on a video site, but I'd really like to see the long version too. If anyone knows a site where it's posted, please tell me. It's the one that looks like footage of recording in the studio.

Did they change the time for the rankings? It still hasn't come out, right?

>990 Yeah, it still hasn't come out. Looks like they changed the time without anyone noticing.

Don't tell me it won't air today of all days.

Hamasaki, die.

GARNET is here━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!!

It's here━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━!!
