>1 Even lining up over a thousand Otsu's wouldn't be enough.

>1 Otsu and Secret Days.

So, which song was rejected for the Conan movie?

>4 Aozora Kanata, for sure. The lyrics about still wishing to be your important person even after being apart give it away.

>4 Probably tell me something too. It has the phrase "those who soar through the sky."

>1 Otsu and Tomorrow. >4 The Crack-up feels like it could be one too. Maybe it was rejected because Conan wanted something with a mystery vibe.

Performers on Best Artist 2010. Arashi, KAT-TUN, NEWS, Hey! Say! JUMP, Tackey & Tsubasa, TOKIO, and others.

>1 To the returning Otsu.

For example, on a night of >1 Otsu.

>1 A乙UKI七

The Crack-up is so good.

>5-6 They said in an interview that those two were written after Over Drive.

But tell me something really does sound like Over Drive. The repeated lyric about those who soar through the sky, and even the way it enters the chorus, are incredibly similar.

Part of Kyou to Ashita to sounds like Mijikai Natsu.

The Crack-up is my favorite song on the album. But it sounds like The Yellow Monkey's Kyukon, which has been bugging me a little.

>16 Now all I can hear is The Yellow Monkey lol

Could the source for 迷いの森 be a poem by Murasaki Shikibu? “We meet again, but before I can tell whether it was really you, you vanish behind the clouds like the moon at midnight.” I'm overthinking it, right? ^^

To commemorate Mochi's album coming out too: ▲Hitoshi Okamoto part.5▲ http://toki.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/compose/1207385161/

I bought the Gane and Mochi albums together at Tower Records and got a clear file.

I was surprised that strangers can have such a band-like arrangement. The guitar is distorted, and for once the drums actually sound decent.

That radio show Okamochi was on was pretty fun.

>14 Even the pitch of the "skyward" part is exactly the same.

I'm going to listen now!

tell me~ just sounds like Spiral played at a slower speed.

The intros to U and 迷いの森 sound alike.

All Night Nippon is starting soon.

Tell me~ something Tell me~ something

迷いの森 feels very GARNET-like. Nice!

The ending of 空に花火 is weird, right?

The reviews don't seem bad, so maybe I'll buy it. I'll look for it tomorrow.

They weren't selling SUPER LIGHT. I was going to buy it...

Right before the guitar solo in the first DVD song, Yurippe glares at Mochi lol

>32 Go buy it at Disc Pier!

The Crack-up seems pretty good!

Starting next week, it's a nonstop release rush.

Mochi's album is really good too!! You should definitely give it a listen!!

Finished listening!

My prediction for this sale: probably about as many as the number of members in the Mixi community.

>37 Nice try, Mochi! By the way, did Gane end up with fewer album tracks because you provided songs for Mochi's album? Are Gane's and Mochi's albums completely different in style?

Mochi's album was surprisingly good. The fact that I had no expectations made the surprise even bigger.

>7 The Crack-up feels like it wasn't made with children in mind as listeners. >13 They're avoiding saying it outright. They'd never come out and say they reused a rejected song. I do think Aozora Kanata is a good song, though.

This feels like a disappointing album. I like the first track and the last three, but it has way too little cohesion. >16 I was wondering where I'd heard it before, and it was Kyukon... The melody of tell me something sounds so much like Mr. Children.

I like it more than the 7th album.

I've only listened once, but 迷いの森 was the best for me! Am I the only one who thinks the first track lacks impact and feels like a bad song choice?

Aozora Kanata is my favorite. It doesn't feel very GARNET-like, but Yurippe's voice is really pleasant to listen to.

Does Aozora Kanata use chiptune elements as a hidden flavor? Osaan, make something even more hard-hitting!

There isn't much info about live radio appearances. Did nobody go see them at NACK5 or anything?

Hope the album makes the top ten. Yuna Ito's best-of, and original albums by BENI and Kurikē, are all coming out at the same time, though.

Has anyone done that thing where you scan the QR code at Tsutaya and access the site? Do you actually win something?

>49 It should make the top ten no matter what~!

They're on ANN.

Don't give Yurippe your cold.

I'm going to HMV today to buy the album. Can't wait!

Personally: 4th > 2nd > 8th > 1st > 5th > 7th > 3rd > 6th I think this one ranks pretty high. Despite the number of tracks, satisfied? More than satisfying, it's a compact album. It does a good job of wiping away the image of bright songs left by LOCKS, and it doesn't have the flatness of the 7th either. The only disappointment is that it seems to lack the melancholy and toughness of the early days. Maybe that's part of the album's concept, but is it Yurippe's singing voice? Nanase's lyrics?

>48 Does being from Hokkaido make me one of the winners?

Is the troll in post 10 Chinese?

>57 Wrong thread!

All Night Nippon was great. Tsubaki Yuriyatsu, Kuroyanagi Yuriko, Yuriue Akira— got all of those lol

ANN... I honestly couldn't tell what they were even on the show for. Hannnya were so bad it pissed me off.

>40 Gane and Mochi are completely different things, so I don't think the style or number of tracks has much to do with it. The Mochi album has three songs with lyrics by Nanase, at least. It's packed with all kinds of stuff, so I think it's interesting. Personally, I really like Nanase's lyrics on Mochi's songs.

Just like the handshake at the ANN Live in September, I really can't bring myself to like Hannnya. If anything, today's radio show made me dislike them even more. The conversation never worked at all, and I can just picture Yurippe and Okamocchi forcing awkward smiles.

Mochi's face on the staff blog!

>63 He looks so painfully uncool lol People who thought he was handsome just from the jacket photo will be shocked when they see the real thing lol The other three are the opposite—they're so good-looking in person that it'll be a shock.

Someone please upload All Night Nippon to YouTube.

Personally, for now tell me something, 渚とシークレットデイズ, and strangers are the top three. アオゾラ カナタ and 迷いの森 are pretty good too. The chorus of The Crack-up feels a little repetitive, so I'm iffy on it. I don't know what's supposed to be good about 今日と明日と. Looking at the album as a whole, the opening and closing tracks are a little disappointing. I think my impression will change after more listens, though.

The full-song previews are up on YouTube. 迷いの森 is a wonderful song. But tell me something... kind of made me laugh.

Honestly, tell me and 渚 are pretty awful.

アオゾラ is good.

速報キター━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━!! 01 Mr. Children 02 DA 03 Utada 04 Ito 05 GaneCraw 06 KARA 07 Ikimono-gakari 08 BENI 09 DREAMS COME TRUE 10 Fukuyama

strangers is in a league of its own. Personally, I liked stay better.

I was stunned by how unprepared Hannnya were on today's ANN... GANE is one of the more delicate, sensitive acts among singers, but they seemed stumped and flustered by the overly direct questions. Yurippe seemed to be trying hard to go along with it, but every time she appears on the radio, she comes across as more and more down-to-earth... That's part of her charm now, so I don't mind. My impression of GARNET has changed a lot over these past ten years.

Also, I wonder why they arranged as the dew so that it starts with the chorus.

>70 Mochi is at #37 too. Selling too well lol

>74 The promotion tactic of giving away a Gane file when you buy Mochi's album is working. Even so, only #37 lol

Winamp's CDDB entry still isn't up.

I'm a newbie planning to go to the Osaka live show. Please tell me everything I need to know. 1. If I suddenly need to take a dump during the live show and go to the bathroom, can I get back in? 2. If it starts at 6, around what time will it end? 3. If they do Holy ground, will people look at me weird if I didn't buy a glow stick beforehand? 4. Is it okay to take photos (without flash)?

空に花火 isn't anything special on the CD, but it's really good on this DVD.

The official diary was updated! >Hello, everyone~. >I'm Yurippe, deputy director of the SUPER LIGHT promotion department.! >77 1. You can. Don't worry. 2. No idea. Maybe around two and a half hours? 3. Don't buy one. They'll hand them out at the entrance when it's time to wave them, so don't worry. 4. Very much not okay. Staff monitor the venue constantly. If they catch you taking photos, they'll probably confiscate your camera and kick you out.

>77 1. You can, but follow the staff's instructions when re-entering. 2. Plan on it ending around 9:50 to 10:00 and you'll be fine. 3. If there's a glow-stick section, they'll hand them out at the venue. 4. Staff are watching constantly, so cameras, cell phones, and food or drinks are prohibited. If you're caught, your camera will be confiscated and you may be kicked out. G-NET members may even be forcibly expelled from the fan club.

During the orchestra sections, Nanase looks like she's having the hardest time.

I happened to be nearby for yesterday's public broadcast, so I went, but I can't go today. I wish it had been the other way around orz

>81 Actually, isn't she pretending to play the piano in some parts?

>80 Drinks aren't allowed either? Going almost four hours without drinking anything sounds rough.

Nanase's piano has been upgraded without me noticing. It didn't have those lights before. >84 Drinks and food aren't allowed. You'd better eat something before entering the concert venue.

黒瀬蛙一 — upcoming schedule Oh, you again (;ﾟロﾟ) Friday, December 31, 2010 — Dojima River Forum, GARNET CROW Special Countdown Live 2010-2011 Sunday, December 26, 2010 — Tokyo International Forum, Hall A, GARNET CROW livescope 2010+ ~welcome to the parallel universe!

Sunday, December 12, 2010 — Grand Cube Osaka, Main Hall, GARNET CROW livescope 2010+ ~welcome to the parallel universe!

When are they announcing the merch? I want to set my budget already.

>84 >85 It says alcoholic drinks aren't allowed, but tea and stuff should be okay, right! It doesn't say anything about food, so that should be okay too! Though 551 pork buns count as hazardous materials, so don't bring them in!

Okamocchi's CD is sold out and I can't find it anywhere... Where am I supposed to go?

Other than Spiral, Yume Mita Ato de, and Futari no Rocket, what songs are likely to be performed?

>90 Over Drive 空に花火 Probably those two. They're the two latest tie-in songs, after all.

>89 The safest bet is to order it or use an online shop.

If the Osaka show ends around 10, does that mean the Nagoya show, one hour later, will end around 11? I'm worried about the last train.

Yuri is so cute in the official message, I almost died of moe lol

Dying of moe over a grown woman like that... It's not like she's a high school girl or a maid.

>89 Disc Pier has a simultaneous-purchase bonus, so you'll definitely find it there! Also, go check Tsutaya Shinsaibashi!

>95 Don't lump Ms. Yuri in with some random high school girl or maid.

>92 I think they mean songs other than parallel universe. They'll probably do Holy ground, right?

>91 Typo.

Someone enter the CD info!

>90 Besides those three songs and Holy ground, these are songs that have been performed at least four times from 2005 through this year's best tour... call my name, 水のない海, Mysterious Eyes, 僕だらけ, Eden

I'm going to listen to Mochi's album now!

Amazon hasn't even shipped it yet.

The first track on Mochi's album has more impact!

The third track is pretty good!

The fourth track is so short!

>93 Yurippe will ask, "Are you going to catch the last train?" Just tell her then.

The album arrived from Yurippe.

Only one English song!? That thing called FF slash before was supposedly full of English songs!

Aozora Kanata was originally a Conan candidate song.

Oricon daily chart *1　15,273　Mr. Children *2　*7,815　Dragon Ash *3　*6,878　GARNET CROW *4　Yuna Ito *5　Hikaru Utada *6　Ikimono-gakari *7　BENI *8　S/mileage *9　2PM 10　Chihaya Kisaragi (Asami Imai) Mochi is at #35.

>110 >13

Aozora Kanata has a similar feel to "Koisuru Koto Shika~."

>111 Probably #5 or #6 on the weekly chart.

I can't retrieve the track info.

I prefer Kurumatani on drums, but he's busy because of SaaSaa-related stuff. Next time I see him, I'll tell him to play drums for them.

Kaichi is fine. I can't go to the year-end live show anyway.

Is everyone watching the locked-room escape variety show DERO?

This might be the most unusual one among their original albums.

This album feels kind of childish.

Debuting at #3 is amazing. Utada is the rival this week, though. The entertainment news will be covering her final tour extensively.

Kaichi is fine. I can't go at the end of the year anyway.

Symphonic brings back memories. I rushed there and was so exhausted after the show that I barely made it back to the hotel.

Mochi!!! Congrats!!! I'm happy he made the top 50! I'm glad I quietly supported him all this time lol But Gane at #3... I've supported them since their debut, and honestly I'm shocked lol Is the Conan effect from Over Drive really that strong? There seem to be a weird number of new fans thanks to Over Drive lately... I like songs such as A crown, so I can't really relate to these people... Complicated.

Yurippe with her arms spread wide looks like a Venus probe rocket.

#3 is a surprise. At the shop I went to earlier, 10-FEET and BENI were getting prime placement. Gane was quietly sitting in the new-release section, two copies each.

That means only two were left; the rest sold out.

I like Yuna Ito too, but I tried to hold back from buying her this week (・ω・`) Mr. Children came out last week and they're still doing that well. Amazing... Hang in there, Gane...

>124 If we're talking Kaleidoscope, I like Sky better!

The live show is this weekend, but absolutely no information has come out (>_<)

Yuna Ito will probably rank higher on the weekly chart.

Released December 8, 2010. Lyrics by AZUKI Nana, composition by Yuri Nakamura, arrangement by Hirohito Furui. This album comes one year and three months after the previous album, "STAY ~Yoake no Soul~." The first press edition includes a DVD with footage of three songs from "GARNET CROW Symphonic Concert 2010 ~All Lovers~," held on August 26. The regular edition includes Over Drive ~theatre version~ as a bonus track. The orchestra arrangement for "空に花火 ~orchestra session~" was done by Ikuro Fujiwara, with the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra performing the orchestral parts.

If they maintain fourth place on the weekly chart, will this be their best career start? The breakup rumors will finally disappear.

Where are the Yokohama Arena and Osaka lottery results!?

>127 I see. So the reason there wasn't a single copy of SUPER LIGHT wasn't that they ordered zero—it sold out.

Nanase in the message video on the official website looks like she's about to go bald...

>136 Totally agree. How sad.

Yesterday's: http://www.allnightnippon.com/hannya/ http://never.fmfuji.co.jp/2010/12/post-8731.html http://blog.bayfm.jp/surprise/2010/12/garnet_crow.html

Ms. Yuri is too beautiful...

I watched Escape Game DERO! for the first time, and it was pretty fun lol I hope the members appear on it again.

Put Mochi next to Hannnya and he looks like the least embarrassing one.

GIRLS Aroe—apparently it's a bonus video. http://www.youtube.com/user/being?blend=2&ob=4#p/u/9/RPn2p5Kr5S8

I can't retrieve the CDDB data. Is everyone else able to?

Mochi's pose is the same lol Though that's nothing new lol

>141 Of course. That's a terrible comparison.

>141 I think he's better than Kawashima. But Kaneda has more distinct, fairly good-looking features, and a good physique too. Mochi's face is kind of blurry lol

>136 Seriously?

Is this album selling well or what? I'm not asking about its rank.

The orchestral live performance on the bonus DVD gave me goosebumps.

Maybe it's the result of yutori education, but even a beginner should know that taking photos is not allowed. This is why there are so many clueless young people at live venues these days. It was the same at Symphonic. Go study copyright law or something.

Hearing Over Drive on the album, the song's presence is really impressive.

The dragon gods of the spirit realm (a dimension close to the physical world) have already ascended to godhood and are no longer there, except for dragon gods with special missions. But the dragon gods deep underground (hereafter, earth dragons) still exist. There are currently eight giant earth dragons in the world, servants of Kunitokotachi no Okami, the spirit of the Earth. One of them exists deep beneath Japan. (There is also an earth dragon in the region where you live right now.) Apparently, when this earth dragon moves deep underground, special clouds appear in the sky afterward. These are earthquake clouds (you can find pictures by searching). Therefore, even if earthquake clouds are observed, the earth dragon has already moved, so there is a time lag in earthquake prediction and it is difficult to predict where the earthquake will occur. Earth dragons are fragments of Kunitokotachi no Okami, the spirit of the Earth. Since the Earth is a living thing, earthquakes happen as the breath of its life activity. Still, rather than having magnitude 7 strike all at once, wouldn't it be better if magnitude 1 came 100 times and dispersed the earthquake energy? The Great Purification Prayer mentions "Hayasusahime who dwells in Ne no Kuni Soko no Kuni," but the true identity of this god is Susanoo, the blue Great God who rules over demons, the spirit realm, and hell. The ruler of Ne no Kuni Soko no Kuni is Kunitokotachi no Okami. Standing between Kunitokotachi no Okami, the representative god of the earthly Ne no Kuni Soko no Kuni (the Earth god), and Amaterasu Omikami, the representative god of the heavenly world (the Sun god), humans are what hold the two gods together. When humans forget that they are being kept alive and begin to imagine that they live by their own power, they forget gratitude for their current situation. When gratitude is forgotten, fewer humans can serve as the clamp connecting the two gods, the balance between them collapses, and a black earth dragon rises from Ne no Kuni Soko no Kuni. To make the earth dragon that has risen and remained there return vertically to Ne no Kuni Soko no Kuni, we must be grateful that we are being kept alive. It is important to keep giving thanks for our current situation. From now through 2012–2013, scientific predictions say sunspot activity will occur on a scale humanity has never experienced. When the gods' servants say humanity will be exposed to this intense sunspot electromagnetic radiation (this year was already extremely hot), they tell people who try to find gratitude and compassion within themselves, even in today's chaotic world, that they should look forward to it. A world filled with gratitude and compassion seems like it will be a fun world.

My newsletter finally arrived, and I looked at my beloved Yurippe's section... Gravure idols are amazing. They have so many poses ready for when they get photographed. Yeah, Yurippe is cute.

>150 Can't the yutori generation even use line breaks properly? lol They probably inserted breaks to match how it looked on their own screen.

I thought it was a vertical acrostic, but it wasn't lol

Speaking of the upcoming live show, I bet all the members will have a dance number during the first song from the new album.

I was taking a nap just now and dreamed Yurippe was laughing while beating Ebizo to a pulp. As expected of a serious sadist.

>143 Still can't do it. Maybe it takes a little time.

>143 >158 I can't retrieve it from Winamp using CDex, but I got it using this method: http://freedbtest.dyndns.org/

Personally, because I liked the previous album so much, this one felt a little lacking... People who like "LOCKS" might enjoy it. My favorites are "迷いの森" and "今日と明日と." Also, are the booklet photos real photos composited with CG? The animals and background are CG, but the castle and sunlight look like they were photographed for real.

I listened to the 8th album a day late. Honestly, aside from The Crack-up, almost every song is beyond saving. I like LOCKS a hundred times more. Aozora Kanata, tell me something, and 渚とシークレットデイズ are obviously songs that got rejected by Conan. Especially 渚—the start of the chorus is so similar to Aozora that I laughed. I was looking forward to 迷いの森 too, but it doesn't really click, and strangers sounds like a Do As Infinity song. 今日と明日と is the best!!!! It's a curveball version of 短い夏 lol STAY really was too much of a masterpiece. At first I thought, "There aren't many tracks," but with an album like this, ten songs are more than enough. But The Crack-up was absolutely amazing. Next year, I want them to release an album centered on songs this hopeless.

>161 × "sent late" ○ "late" × "songs that can't be saved" ○ "songs with no salvation"

That's what I've been saying: Aozora and tell me were written after Over Drive.

>150 Setsuko, that's not copyright. That's publicity rights (or portrait rights).

Was STAY really that good?

>153 >Gravure idol w >163 Yeah, yeah, what a straightforward kid.

From the official site -------- >Tie-in info NEW!! >The 8th album track "tell me something" has been chosen as the December ending theme for TV Kanazawa's "Tonari no Tele Kin-chan" and "Hana no Tele Kin-chan." >http://www.tvkanazawa.co.jp/telekinchan/

>165 It's a super-masterpiece now. If you keep listening to parallel universe the same way, it'll gradually pull you into its world too, and you'll come to like it more and more.

Amateur song critics online really love phrases like "it sounds like ~."

>169 Coming through—I've been listening since before first kaleidoscope was released lol

STAY was pretty popular, huh. Maybe I'll listen to it again for the first time in a while.

>171 An album with no throwaway tracks. Stay and Rainy Soul are just too good.

Personally, I think it surpassed STAY. But I wanted one song like Kyou no Kimi to~, Kimi-zure, or WEEKEND.

>138 You can't even tell it's Kaneda. What is that hairstyle?

Yurippe and Okamocchi really do make a good match. They should just announce their marriage already.

>175 (´･ω･)「A good match...? They look like they're in completely different leagues to me.」

>175 If they did that, 20–30% of the fans would leave!

The fans are watching warmly because the guy doing promotion with her is Mochi. But if it were an aggressive, womanizing type like Oga, I think the fans would be freaking out.

I kind of think the current fans wouldn't quit even if Yurippe got married. Though I guess it depends on who she marries.

>176 If you see the photo of the two of them together on the staff blog, they really do look good together.

>179 If it's Okamocchi, I can accept it and forgive her.

>181 If you like Mochi, you'd actually be happy if he won Yurippe over.

People said that on STAY, Hello sadness sounded like B'z's SPLASH, Elysium sounded like ZARD's GOOD DAY, and Fall in Life sounded like Ashita e no Tobira. 恋のあいまに also has a melody at the start of the chorus similar to Holy ground.

So, how high can they push the ranking today... Are sales better than usual for the first day?

ttp://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12975026

In the official parallel universe promo video, Yurippe says at the end, "Okamoto-kun's solo album is coming out on the same day too." It doesn't really feel like they're lovers. Maybe she thinks of him like a little brother (despite their actual ages).

Mochi's otaku fans are gross...

It doesn't even have the chewiness of dried squid. It's an album like konnyaku.

>179 If the partner were some soccer guy like Dāhon or a comedian, they probably couldn't even fill Daikanyama UNIT.

I want to marry Ms. Yuri.

Yurippe is already married, you know.

Nice try, imaginary insider.

I want Yurippe to sing Peggy Hayama's Gakusei Jidai.

迷いの森 and The Crack-up are good. The rest are kind of... hmm. Sorry, Mochi. Sorry, Mochi. I'll buy your CD in bulk at the live venue next time.

I wish 空に花火 had been released as an original song on this album. Then I would have rated it much higher. I can't really like it when I hear it as an All Lovers song.

DVD release confirmed for January 26!!!!!

Aozora Kanata, 迷いの森, The Crack-up, and Kyou to Ashita to are great! tell me something, 渚とシークレットデイズ, and strangers are garbage.

NEWS and Tomohisa Yamashita's long-awaited new album confirmed!! January 19: lead single January 26: first album

>161 I think the melody of 今日と明日と is a combination of 短い夏, 愛に似てる, and Elysium.

I can't find anything wrong with strangers, so it's my favorite song on the album.

Conversely, I think some of the other songs have a few bad points. That's just my personal opinion, though.

There are lots of good songs, but overall it feels kind of lightweight...

Hey, I sent in the CD info for you guys. You'd better thank me.

I wanted a song with heavier lyrics and a heavier mood—in other words, something more negative.

My newsletter still hasn't arrived. Anyone else still waiting?

Today's broadcasts 19:00 — VS Arashi 22:00 — Himitsu no Arashi-chan

Predictions for the merch: ・Pamphlet ・Long-sleeved shirt ・Cloth bag ・Cellphone strap ・Furikake ・Aroma candle ・Calendar

>205 Mine arrived in Ehime on Monday, so you'd better contact G-NET already.

An album that takes on new things. Really?

I like Aozora Kanata because Yurippe sounds like she's having fun singing it.

>207 Down jacket! Mochi's mochi!

I had a delusion about all four of them walking onto the stage during the intro to Aozora Kanata lol

ParaUni is quite the grower.

Rather than dried squid, maybe it's more like sugarcane.

Did G-NET send an email this time saying, "Your newsletter has been shipped"?

>215 I got one.

I haven't joined G-NET yet. Can I get a membership application at the venue? Also, around which row at Grand Cube is at the same height as the stage?

>215 Apparently it was mailed on the 3rd. The email came on the night of the 6th.

Where is "parallel universe" on the album chart?

>219 #9.

The members all look way too old in the official comment lol Azuki's baldness in particular is pretty alarming. >219 Today's daily ranking crashed down to #9. Condolences to all the people above saying this was their best career start and that casual fans were increasing lol

渚とシークレットデイズ has a rhythm that sounds a bit like Marginal Man and Ameagari no Blue.

The release event info is here.

Aozora and 渚~ feel like nothing more than different lyric versions, but I like them. >223 Details?

A female manager with stinky feet lol

Nanase looks good with her forehead showing too. But I prefer her hair straight.

Yuri Nakamura uni.

>203 Whoa~! Thanks! That really helped!

I flipped through the newsletter, and it looks like the members' top pick is The Crack-up too.

The three new songs they must have been confident in are the ones they previewed beforehand: 　tell me something 　迷いの森 　The Crack-up

I preordered Yamapi's album lol It includes "Seishun Amigo" and "Daite Senorita" too~

>208 It may be a little early, but I tried sending them an email. >216 >218 Thanks. I searched my mailbox but couldn't find it. Maybe I accidentally deleted it...

>232 Depending on your email provider or security settings, it may have been sorted into spam.

Why is Hanabi aiming for the northern night sky?

>234 Go ask in the lyric-analysis thread.

Were the photos in the lyric booklet taken in Japan?

No, because this is the main thread.

>236 Awaji Island.

"Because this is the main thread" lol

Because this is a shit thread.

ttp://www.garnetcrow.com/news/images/livegoods2010ps_paralleluniverse.jpg The merch announcement is here~ Mini-Crow is back...? Is the song different? I can't go to the live show, but I'll go buy the merch.

Yurippe saying "Konyanyachiwa" is so old-fashioned lol

Did anyone get through on the phone?

>186 Of course they can't act like a couple in public.

>221 You seriously piss me off. Azuki-san has all kinds of stress too, you know.

Yurippe in the promo video is so moe I'm about to die.

>245 You mean the fact that she still can't play the keyboard without looking at sheet music?

Still no PV? Apparently they already filmed it.

Honestly, this is the most pathetic original album they've made so far.

http://www.ytv.co.jp/conan15th/moving.html

What do you guys think of Yurippe's perm?

They have XL T-shirts in the merch lineup this time. Hacchan looked awful in the stretched-out L last time, so this time it should fit nicely.

>238 Oh, really! There really are some nice places if you look around!

The bag and towel look kind of Halloween-ish.

There are a lot of great songs that use the whole world as their scale.

>241 What the hell is this gachapon stuff? GIZA, do something about this.

>256 As a way to make grown-up kids spend money, gachapon isn't a bad strategy. ＞Gachapon

>257 I hate how obvious it is.

>253 The staff blog photos: http://livedoor.2.blogimg.jp/garnetcrow10th/imgs/a/d/adadec28.jpg http://livedoor.2.blogimg.jp/garnetcrow10th/imgs/b/f/bf5ef99f.jpg Looking at those, I thought they seemed like Awaji Island and checked a map back then. Then today's radio show said it was Awaji Island.

I actually thought the same thing.

Lately my overall feeling is just "I don't dislike it." Somehow, I'm satisfied with that. I also thought 迷いの森 and The Crack-up were good, but 迷いの森 almost wandered into Onmyo-za's world. The first half of the chorus sounds like something Kuro Neko would sing. But then it came back. (Back to Yurippe's world.)

STARDUST PARADE was listed in the appearance schedule, so I listened to it, but they weren't on it. I got tricked. I should've edited the radio shows I recorded today instead of wasting two hours.

All right, off to Awaji Island lol

The album songs they're likely to sing are probably: ・今日と明日と ・strangers ・渚とシークレットデイズ ・tell me something Those four, maybe?

I think Ms. Yuri is a goddess.

Damn, I forgot it came out this week. I'm taking tomorrow off work to go buy it.

Member-designed T-shirts. What is this Osaka version? Are we supposed to attend every show and buy every design?

>267 Exactly! If you want to complete the set, hand over your money!

In the end, people with idol-otaku tendencies who buy up all the merch have no choice but to funnel money to GIZA.

But it's true that those people support Gane's activities too lol

She changed her singing style so much it's starting to worry me. I liked the old way better.

>263 They should hold an outdoor live show on Awaji Island next year!

parallel universe is wonderful. Yuri really is a genius.

Over Drive is too much of a god-tier song...

>274 If Over Drive counts as a god-tier song, then everything is a god-tier song!

I like Over Drive, but it isn't a god-tier song.

strangers is too much of a god-tier song...

I think Over Drive is incredibly refreshing and fantastic, though.

The title Yasashisa wa Toge wo Motsu Mono is interesting! Azuki herself has thorns, so is she talking about herself?

There are still tickets left for Nagoya...

↑ Seriously? (T_T)

I get to see them in Osaka the day after tomorrow!

There's this prejudice that people who like Gane mostly like dark songs. But I only like them because Gane has made a lot of good dark songs. If I think a bright song is good, I like it too, and if I think a dark song is mediocre, I don't like it.

I question the whole bright-song/dark-song way of categorizing music in the first place.

>284 That's just a rough way of putting it.

After listening to this album... is it the songs themselves that are kind of weak, rather than the arrangements or singing? I don't think this will bring in any new fans, and I'd hesitate to play this album for someone I know who isn't already a fan. I can't imagine someone becoming a GARNET CROW fan because of this album. If we're talking just melodies, LOCKS was much better.

Am I the only one who thinks new listeners will actually take to it easily?

I'm a new listener.

I haven't listened enough to really get into it yet. But it feels like the least cohesive set of tracks they've had so far. Everything except the first song is okay. I like 迷いの森, The Crack-up, strangers, and 今日と明日と, I guess. The chorus of 迷いの森 makes me think of Utada lol I really can't get into アオゾラ カナタ.

Aozora Kanata got a lot better after repeated listens, but strangers and tell me something are still kind of underwhelming. The Crack-up is my favorite, but I think it would be even better with a cushion like 迷いの森 between the repeated second- and first-chorus sections.

I wish they'd included two or three more songs.

Aozora Kanata feels like it might be the opening song at the live show.

I just checked my seat and I'm on the far right. It's going to be hard to see＼(^o^)／ｵﾜﾀ

It's nothing but noisy, obnoxious fans.

The lyrics of strangers are good, but the melody doesn't stand out, so I can't get into it. People who like Rainy Soul might enjoy it.

The live show is finally the day after tomorrow. It'll probably be the usual staples + 4–5 ParaUni songs + 1–2 rare songs.

I want them to increase the rare-song slots.

Yume Mita Ato de, Spiral, and Futari no Rocket probably won't change.

Eden will probably be included too.

【Pretty much confirmed】 　Yume Mita Ato de, Spiral, Rocket, Eden 【Might play】 　call my name, Holy ground

The only one left is probably Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu Keredo...

On day three, it's almost certain they'll fall out of the daily top ten.

I wish it would sell a little more...

I wonder what the weekly ranking will look like.

>264 Those four are probably the ones they'll play live.

I really like the way strangers is sung. But the intro sounds kind of Beatles-like lol

Can GARNET tell from the stage whether someone likes the song they're playing?

I'll do anything for Ms. Yuri.

I entered the album info into Microsoft's fai.

>80 There's no way it lasts four hours lol

I want them to play songs for the cold season. 春待つ花のように, 冷たい影, white out, Elysium, たとえば12月の夜に... Wouldn't that be awesome!

>307 Maybe if they're listening with their eyes closed, or really getting into it, you can tell. They do seem dissatisfied with audience members who aren't into it.

ParaUni is a half-baked dud rushed out at the last minute.

>313 It does feel like they crammed it together because they wanted to release it within the year. At first there was talk of releasing it around November, but with Symphonic and everything else, they must have been busy all summer and fall. I think going from the planned eleven tracks to ten was also because they couldn't finish in time.

>312 Is listening with your eyes closed a negative impression? I'll be careful.

If they were going to do that, they could've just released a single first and put out the album around next spring. Was it a company order?

18:00 — BS2 The Shonen Club, guests Kazuya Kamenashi and Hey! Say! JUMP

>316 It feels that way. The exhausted look in the promo video on the official site is probably because of that too.

>317 Hey! Say! JUMP wasn't on it lol

Hang in there, Yurippe.

Oricon rankings Gane　*5→*3→*9→14 Mochi　37→35→−→− Will they make the top ten...?

I didn't win the Zunia Information Bureau thing lol The fan club phone won't connect lol

Recommend me an album.

How many times do I have to call before this voice-confirmation line connects lol

>321 *5?

Add more lines already lol It's my 30th time.

Give up lol

The fan club email finally arrived now lol It takes longer because I live in the countryside lol Everyone's calling right now, so I can't get through. Additional shows for Yokohama Arena and Osaka have been confirmed!!

>315 Was my wording bad? I think listening with your eyes closed is a good thing.

I'm up to my 50th attempt lol Tomorrow is the general sale, so everyone is swarming the line to check their lottery results lol

I knew it was the lottery-results day, but I just sat there blankly watching Kur... What a mistake lol

All lines are currently busy. Please try again later.

Finally got through on my 80th try lol Osaka was a total loss lol I secured one Yokohama Arena show lol Winter tour results: 2 wins, 2 losses out of four shows lol 12/25 Nagoya: 1/2; Yokohama Arena Osaka lol It was the closest and cheapest in travel costs, yet lol If the Tokyo show acceptance email doesn't come tomorrow, I guess I lost? Please hold the Osaka show at the Dome.

I'll get Osaka tickets through ●●, just you watch lol

>323 I'm waiting 4 you TWILIGHT VALLEY

Rather than being new, parallel universe feels like it goes back to somewhere even earlier than the early days.

Nagoya show: first choice lost, second choice lost → won the added show. Yokohama Arena: first choice lost → won the second choice. Osaka: first choice lost. Osaka: lost both first and second choices. Man, G tickets are hard to get lol

They've released almost 190 songs in total now. Just choosing songs to promote and songs that meet people's needs must be difficult.

>335 Thanks. I'll borrow it next time.

I'm using the refund money to buy the SUMMERY DVD and an Arashi DVD. I even get change back lol Crying my eyes out lol

>339 The indie-era one.

Already down to #14 daily—what a total flop lol Fans are definitely leaving. The day Masuda cuts them loose can't be far off.

>341 W-what...

>323 The ones fans rate highly are probably the 1st, 4th, and 7th. The relatively easy-to-listen-to ones are probably the 2nd, 6th, and 8th.

>342 It's not that fans are leaving; everyone just bought it on release day.

>344 The 6th and 8th aren't so much easy to listen to as they are lacking something... The 2nd isn't poppy, but it's catchy and has a mysterious quality. It's good.

They always leave three or four songs from a new album unperformed. Everyone wants to hear them all, but I wonder which ones will get cut this time.

>346 Even the 2nd only has ten songs if you remove the rearranged tracks, so it feels lacking too.

>348 Feeling that the 6th and 8th are lacking isn't about the number of tracks, though.

The 2nd has incredible power in pray and Holy ground.

>349 Oh, sorry. Do you mean the 6th and 8th lack darkness?

I wish The Crack-up had stayed in that languid A-melody mood all the way through.

The 8th feels almost completely lacking in negativity.

Someone is trying to sell a Gane countdown live fan-club ticket for ¥100,000 on ●● Tickets. The ¥5,000 one has a buyer, though.

The singles Yume Mita, Last Love, call my name, and Timeless, plus album tracks like pray, Holy ground, and Sky Blue— looking back, the 2nd really was packed with popular songs.

>351 I don't have any songs I particularly love. But I prefer bright songs to dark ones.

Hare Dokei is a single, but I don't think I've ever heard it at a live show. Maybe I just happened to miss it every time.

>356 I see. I guess I also don't have many songs I absolutely love. Not that I have none.

Maybe the 6th and 8th lack impact. The 5th, on the other hand, has too much impact and gets tiring to listen to. Personally, I think the 7th was just right.

My dream setlist 01. アオゾラ カナタ 02. lose feeling 03. Circle Days 04. doubt 05. Ｕ 06. ON THE WAY 07. Over Drive 08. Secret Path 09. dreaming of love 10. 空に花火 11. Please,forgive me 12. 逃れの町 13.

The Crack-up 24. tell me something 25. Fall in Life〜Hallelujah〜 GC's live setlists have gotten really repetitive. Playing Spiral and Yume Mita Ato de every time should be enough already. Anyway, please play The Crack-up! Just hearing that intro gives me chills.

Kobukuro's Ryusei is a rip-off of Kimi to Iu Hikari.

The 8th has absolutely no concept. If they're at the point of calling All Lovers a concept album, maybe they're in the terminal phase.

You actually lost the lottery for Osaka Castle Hall lol

Who does a dream setlist even benefit?

ind, 1st, 2nd... flowering period 3rd, 4th, 5th... maturity period 6th, 7th, 8th... dawn period So what will the next stage be? Marriageable age?

Given the season, I want to hear songs like Elysium, この冬の白さに, 籟・来・也, 春待つ花のように, and たとえば12月の夜に.

>364 Obviously it's for me lol Don't reply to it lol

Aozora Kanata feels like it belongs at the beginning just from the intro.

I bought the album today. They only had one copy for sale lol I listened to it, and there are lots of places where I can't understand what the lyrics are saying, but it's pretty nice for casual listening.

I want them to play all the new songs live.

Are they going to have another pointless MINIQLO segment? It's a waste of waiting time, so I wish they'd drop it...

That waiting period really is a nuisance. But I get the feeling they do it to sell merch (the mini-album).

The last song that really moved me was rusty rail. Since then, I personally haven't had a song I could wholeheartedly call a masterpiece. stay was a good album, but ParaUni isn't. You can't deny how cobbled together it feels.

Don't the lyrics on this album have phrases from songs across the past ten years sprinkled throughout them?

So far I haven't seen anyone who lost the Mochi live lottery on either the fan sites or Mixi... Could everyone have won? The Bread Factory only holds 200 people lol

Hey! Say!

>367 Why don't you write it in Notepad?

>377 No, since you reply to me, this is obviously where I should post it＾＾lol

Take it to email, you morons.

Does the fan club newsletter have lots of photos?

There are good songs, but the lyrics started feeling weird from the 6th album onward. They've lost the presence they used to have. On the 6th, 7th, and 8th, the wording is either painfully cramped, boring, or obviously forced in just to fill space.

Lots of them. Private photos of Yurippe and event photos, that kind of thing.

The last song on the album... Wasn't there a Christmas song with a chorus like that?

>381 Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels like the direction of the lyrics and the music has started to drift apart.

>382 Really? I want to see them. So they released a new album. I love the song anywhere—are there any dark songs with that kind of feel?

I watched the video, and Yurippe's upper arms are thicker than Mochi's.

For a country boy like me who can't go to either the ParaUni live show or the countdown live, hearing about Mini-Crow's new release is just cruel.

Lately the "Obaa Drive♪" part has been getting seriously stuck in my head lol

GARNET CROW is #14 daily on day three lol 6,800 - 2,500 - 800 (estimated) Sales keep getting worse lol

>256 I went to a Monkey Majik live show a little while ago, and they had gachapon at their venue too. I tried it once, and it might be okay if you think of it as a souvenir.

I want to drink the bathwater after Yurippe has bathed in it.

>389 Breaking 10,000 in only three days is pretty great. There are tons of artists who can't even sell 1,000 copies.

They used to sell 100,000 copies without even trying.

>393 Times have changed. Unlike back when there were only CDs, there are downloads now too.

Downloads? Oh, you mean YouTube and Nico Nico Douga.

My newsletter still hasn't arrived, and G-NET hasn't replied to my inquiry either. What the hell is going on?

>395 I mean online purchases from places like mora. Sadly, some people are satisfied with just YouTube, Nico Nico, and ringtone downloads.

As expected, this one gets more addictive the more I listen to it~

I just can't get into Aozora Kanata or 渚. Overall it's pretty iffy... 迷いの森 is good!

>385 迷いの森 is probably that kind of song.

Not immediately clicking = a grower. That's GARNET's true essence.

The lyrics of 迷いの森 are like the lyrics of Kakurenbo: there's a hint of fear to them, and they're subtle and profound.

Hearing them live changes the impression again, and can make you fall in love with the song. That's the depth of GARNET's music.

Yurippe went to Shiga. She's really working hard. I have to tip my hat to that effort.

There are lots of fans who are satisfied with YouTube and stuff. Source: me.

>405 You can't call those people fans! Have you ever been to a live show?

>400 Thanks. I'll give it a listen.

YouTube's history is a baby compared with GARNET's history. Confirmed casual fan.

Seriously, the regular edition has a bonus track...? If I'd known, I would've chosen that one (T-T)

(´･ω･)「渚と〜!?」 (■ω■)＋the audience「Ah〜シークレットデ〜イ」 I can easily see it going like this.

>409 (´･ω･)＜The regular edition is also on sale now! Buy it.

I can easily imagine Yurippe pointing the microphone at the audience lol

I can easily imagine Yurippe pointing the microphone at the audience lol

Reloading caused it to post twice, sorry. Will they be giving out posters at the merch booth this time too?

Thinking about Ms. Yuri keeps me awake at night.

Tuesday *3 6,878 Wednesday *9 3,144 Thursday 14 1,000 (estimated) Total 11,022 Tuesday and Wednesday are from the sales thread. Weekly total will probably be around 15,000 after adjustments.

Some people are holding off on buying ParaUni so they can buy it at the live venue.

I need to do some Spiral muscle training to prepare for tomorrow.

>413 Why did you post it twice?

>415 Then don't sleep lol

parallel universe is too wonderful, Ms. Yuri...

>421 If you just want to mutter to yourself, go somewhere else.

But it's so good that it makes you want to mutter to yourself.

Noooo! I can't go to either the ParaUni live or the countdown live. And I can't buy Mini-Crow's new release either!

>424 Why can't you go?

Looking at Azuki-san's smile on the back cover of the newsletter heals me~~~ Such a gentle smile.

>416 By that calculation, 11,000 copies × ¥3,500 = they're making ¥38.5 million. That's GARNET CROW for you.

Since it's an album, I hope it sells 50,000 copies.

They didn't get to show their full ability on this one. Their schedule was crammed in way too tightly. These people could do even better if they just took a little time to rest.

>427 Even if you estimate songwriting royalties generously at 5% of those sales, the royalties going to Yurippe and Nanase would only be about ¥1.9 million... That's not much.

They made Yurippe do all that promotion. I hope she got pay that matches it...

Yurippe's savings already exceed ¥100 million.

Yurippe's amniotic fluid is already starting to rot.

The Tokyo countdown show acceptance email is here—!!!!!!!!!!

Hang in there, Alister~

I feel like the next original album will be a good one. The pressure of the tenth anniversary and the brutal schedule should ease up.

Tuesday *3 6,878 Wednesday *9 3,144 Thursday 14 1,326 Total 11,348 GIZA released something like ALL Lovers, so sales have dropped sharply even compared with STAY.

Is 迷いの森 the highest-rated song in this thread?

【Music】GARNET CROW to hold an album tour http://kamome.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mnewsplus/1291982417/

When they do Holy ground, I'm planning to buy a glow stick at the merch booth. Will they have enough stock for everyone attending? Will they run out if I don't get there early?

Glow sticks are handed out free when you enter.

They only had a short time to rehearse after the album tracks were finished, so the new songs they'll probably play are tell me something, 渚とシークレットデイズ, and 今日と明日と.

They've been practicing since before the songs were even finished lol

I don't think ParaYuri itself is a bad album, but the fans who bought All Lovers probably did drift away. And since Gane looks good, obviously it would be smarter to put them on a prime-time TV show instead of making them do tiny bits of radio promotion. It's sad that Yurippe is being worked this hard and then criticized for having too few songs and a cobbled-together album. Basically, everything about GIZA's approach is working against them.

Parallel Yurippers.

Yurippe has it the hardest. She writes songs, goes on the radio, and performs live... Since she's a female vocalist, GIZA should think about her properly. I know she's GARNET's face, so maybe it can't be helped, but this schedule is way too brutal.

>438 Yeah. >444 Maybe Yurippe hates TV.

Am I the only one who gets Marginal Man vibes from 渚とシークレットデイズ and 短い夏 vibes from 今日と明日と?

>446 Exactly. This is the most important time for preparing for the live show, but the schedule seems way too packed. Of course she looks exhausted...

My first GARNET CROW live show was the 10th-anniversary show at Tokyo International Forum, front row center. I'm already completely satisfied.

By the way, I'm in an Ag seat tomorrow. I wonder how many meters it is from the stage. >457 What an amazing seat. I'm jealous.

I'm new here. GARNET CROW is freaking great. Man, this is awesome.

I'll be satisfied if I get to hear 迷いの森 or The Crack-up tomorrow. Will they play either one?

I don't get why people are spamming the thread.

Everyone in Osaka, have a great time tomorrow~

>1-1000000000... [The same extremely long repeated-number quote is posted many times.]

Does the "those who soar through the sky" line in tell me something basically mean it was rejected from the Conan movie? Anyway, if you're putting it on the album, change the lyrics. And ban the "Fuu~ u~ yeah~" stuff forever. It's not quite as bad as the "come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah~" in Wasurena Saku, though.

>473 Even the sound of the "skyward" part is the same lol

The commercial is here!!!!!!!!!!

The album version of As the Dew is pretty good, but it's a shame the bass swell disappeared when it goes from "falling like dew~" into the big final chorus. Also, starting the vocals from the chorus is the same arrangement pattern as Namida no Yesterday.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's live show~

I wish they'd changed As the Dew more drastically.

>456 The giant rubber duck is worth seeing. It's really close by. ttp://www.hetgallery.com/rubber-duck-project2010.html

>473 >Does the "those who soar through the sky" line in tell me something basically mean it was rejected from the Conan movie? Yeah, probably. >Anyway, if you're putting it on the album, change the lyrics. How dare you talk to Nanase-sama like that.

Someone please interpret the lyrics of 空に花火. I can't really understand them.

tell me~ was written after Over Drive, so it isn't a rejected Conan song. Though they can't exactly say it was rejected, so maybe Yurippe is lying.

>481 GARNET CROW lyric-analysis thread http://toki.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicj/1237879146/301-400

>482 Rather than a "lie," it's more like embellishment. They don't have an obligation to tell the truth about that kind of thing, after all.

Even if it was a rejected song, it would be fine as long as it was good. The problem is that it's bad.

Just because it was written after ObaTora doesn't mean it wasn't under consideration, right?

>481 Verse 1 → Is being able to stay with you forever just a fantasy? Every day doesn't pass by like a dream. But even in the unseen future, I want to keep loving you the same way. Verse 2 → There were so many happy times in the past. Will a day come when they all become nothing? But precisely because I'm being overwhelmed by sadness now, I want your love. The ending → The past when I longed for you is nostalgic. I want those feelings to last forever. Even though it's fleeting, I want to remain an unchanging presence. That's how I read it, but Nanase wants people to interpret it freely, so ultimately you have to work it out for yourself.

Whoa, I finally figured out why my newsletter never arrived. I'm such an idiot lol

Why? Did you not pay your membership fee?

>489 I was a member through the end of September 2010. I renewed at the venue as soon as October started because there was an FC event coming up. But I just checked the payment slip and found out that if you renew after your membership expires, your membership only resumes the following month. So apparently I wasn't a member at the end of October, when this newsletter was sent lol

Well, there you go lol This newsletter is really good, though~ lol

I joined G-NET because I was looking forward to the newsletter lol Everyone else, be careful too lol

I didn't join G-NET, so I'm safe.

I really wish they'd get rid of the Mini-Crow segment. If they're going to do it, at least shorten the waiting time.

They showed the album commercial on Conan.

>495 Which song did they play?

>496 I think it was As the Dew and Over Drive. They played the PVs for both.

>492 I've already experienced that last year lol

My first GARNET CROW live show was the 10th-anniversary show at Tokyo International Forum, front row center. I'm already completely satisfied.

Around which row is at the same height as the stage? >497 Thanks.

I watched Shimura Zoo on a recording lol I forgot to mention it, but Yamada-kun was a guest.

It's the general sale for Gane's countdown show, yet there are tons of empty seats.

What's a cow-con?

Aozora Kanata is such a good song!

There are tons of tickets left for the Tokyo countdown too. Each person can buy up to eight (苦笑)

I love GARNET CROW and want them to succeed, but this album is really... (^_^;)

Cow-con = countdown concert. Last year everyone was crying because they couldn't get tickets, but this year even the general sale isn't selling out. If you don't properly support Gane, Thomas will cut them loose.

I really want them to do the Mini-Crow segment. Please make the waiting time longer.

I held back this time because it was AS. Now that I'm sick of Mini-Crow, doing Mini-Crow at AS would be a punishment game lol I can't stand just standing there listening to that for 30 minutes. If they're going to do it, do it at Mochi's live show.

After putting out an album like that, and having held a live show just a few days ago too...

Personally, I thought it was a good album.

I just listened to it, and Aozora Kanata and 渚とシークレットデイズ start with exactly the same vocal phrase lol

What does "Doing all right" mean?

Even Komatsu's eighth album—the most she's released as a GIZA artist—was full of dull, spent-tea-leaf songs. Will Gane even make it to a ninth album...? It feels like Nakamura has already run out of songs.

I think the increasingly stale arrangements are part of the problem too.

I want to walk down the street holding Ms. Yuri's hand.

>513 Probably something like, "I'm doing fine."

>517 I think it means, "Things will work out somehow."

Don't worry~

Let It Be.

Ms. Yuri...

Is the Mini-Crow CD in the merch lineup different from the previous one?

>505 Really? Then I'll invite a bunch of friends.

Will Grand Cube sell out~???

>524 The location isn't great, it's Sunday, it's cold, and it's Super Light, so I don't think it'll sell out!

>486 Finally, someone said it. They never said it was written after the theme song was decided. As usual: Fans with sky-high expectations = "Ugh, this album is no good." Fans who weren't expecting much = "Maybe it's actually good."

>526 They wrote songs, got rejected, and repeated the process; Over Drive finally got accepted on the fifth try. So I think it's weird that something written after that could still have been a candidate. They also said there was nowhere left to go when they made Over Drive.

Where's the payment email!?

I really want them to sing The Crack-up live, but it worries me that she sounds like she's struggling on the CD recording.

>529 If it's really that difficult, I think they'd arrange it to be easier to sing, like they did with As the Dew before.

strangers is hard to get into rhythmically... The A and B sections are good, but that chorus is really hard to groove to.

>527 Of course they'd describe it as if it were a huge struggle. Either way, I feel like Tell Me is a product of the Conan-movie era.

Why are you looking to GARNET CROW for that kind of groove?

>532 Going by the lyrics, Aozora Kanata and tell me something do have a Conan vibe.

>532 Either way, "I feel like..." is just speculation. I believe what Yurippe says.

Depending on the song, what kind of fans usually go to GARNET shows? ・Stand there motionless ・Stand there motionless with eyes closed ・Sway their shoulders or heads to the rhythm ・Sing along ・Dance weirdly

>517-518 I always thought it literally meant, "Everything you're doing is right" lol Like, "There isn't anything wrong with what you or I are doing."

>537 That meaning is correct too. >517 is the literal translation; >518 is the freer translation. ttp://blog.goo.ne.jp/sebango7/e/7f06129926b32fbfd43f24a3b3ca25eb

If they're releasing a Mini-Crow CD, they should tour the regions too, just like the best-of tour.

It'll probably end around 9:30.

>536 I really wish you'd spare us the sing-along! Anyone here going? I'm going~!

>541 I'm about to leave Nagoya. I'm worried about the Mini-Crow CD stock.

>542 Otsu to the person coming from Nagoya! I don't need Mini-Crow! Actually, I'm not planning to buy any merch at all!

Is the regular-edition Over Drive theater version on the same CD as the other ten tracks?

>529 (´･ω･)「Crack-Upの歌入れの時は、風邪気味で鼻をかみながらレコーディングしてたからな。」

>538 Phew, thank goodness~ English is my biggest weakness, so I'm a little relieved lol

It'll work out somehow~

Why does it start at 6 PM? It's Sunday, so I wish it started at 4. It's cold, but I guess I should start getting ready.

Spoiler, but they're doing an unreleased song for the encore.

Tell me what the gachapon secret item is!

My Tokyo International Forum tickets arrived~ They were shitty seats... orz

Doing a dreary song like Ameagari no Blue live and announcing, “We're premiering a confident new song!” would be pretty rough... lol

Mini-Crow ・まぼろし ・スカイブルー ・Cried a little

Aozora Kanata's intro feels nice, like Canon. The falsetto is beautiful. The melody of “崩壊は真夏ならば〜” made me think of Takashi Kako's “Paris wa Moete Iru ka.”

>553 Nice! Seriously? So it really is three songs (lol)

There are a ton of gross people here.

Please play 迷いの森, Crack-up, and 今日と明日と!

My prediction: Yurippe will aggressively push the merch and force everyone to participate in the countdown show.

They handed out glow sticks. Holy ground is confirmed.

Mr. Saita was there.

Made it! There are quite a few people hanging around outside!

Holy ground again? I wish they'd do it at Crystal Gauge or something once in a while.

Four cut songs from the Conan movie, plus Over Drive, As the Dew, and 空に花火... Only three new songs. The album ended up half-empty because of the 10th anniversary project.

The A row is so hard to figure out!

Spoiler, but I asked a friend who went to Grancube to get me a Mini-Crow CD.

There's something like a Christmas tree onstage.

They're appearing on MJ at 18:10.

Yume mita ato de finally got dropped.

U, この冬の白さに, たとえば12月の夜に, and Nonsense were making their debut, huh.

Is it over?

Sockpuppet.

Yurippe dancing next to Mochi's solo was way too cute! Her butt wiggling got me~ Also, Yurippe's thighs in shorts during the second-half outfit were the best.

It ended after about two hours and twenty minutes! It started around 6:07!

I thought I'd finally get to hear Whiteout, but... That Western song starting with Furui's synth was so cool.

Today's surprise was Osenchi of all things!

Marionette Christmas Gauge The crowd's reaction to the opening two songs was insane lol

>572 She was doing the hula dance!

Uhh... shorts... gulp lol

Please give us today's setlist.

Tatoeba 12gatsu!! I just decided... even if I have to go alone, I'm going to the Nagoya show (´・ω・`)

It surprised me that they didn't play Spiral or Yume mita ato de.

They didn't play Spiral...

Because it was unpopular on 2ch, I guess.

Maybe because the venue didn't allow jumping. All I can say is Yurippe's butt wiggling and thighs were the best.

>579 I only remember the opening being Marionette followed by Call My Name!

Nana was sleeveless too, so there was quite a lot of skin on display.

Were there any songs from this album that they didn't play?

Yurippe in shorts, seriously? I can't picture it.

They played tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8. They might have played the rest too, but I don't remember.

Sorry for talking about her body, but the shorts really surprised me. Also, since we'll only get to see them twice more, they might be super rare. It was sad that the countdown tickets went on sale after the show ended...

Those who know, please post the setlist.

What was she wearing on top?

No Spiral as the last song? I like that kind of hype.

The second time—or rather, during the Mini-Crow part, she changed into a red plaid dress. When she took the dress off, the top stayed on and she was in shorts. Maybe because there was a gospel choir, she switched to shorts to go with the Christmas songs?

We don't need that kind of hype. There's only so much same-old-same-old you can take.

>569 “この冬の白さに” was the opening song of the third tour. Furui's synth solo is so cool.

I was totally satisfied just seeing Yurippe's cute dancing during Okamocchi's solo and her shorts during the Christmas songs! She was seriously cute!

>587 I think they played 迷いの森, テルミーサムシング, 渚とシークレットデイズ, and 今日と明日と!

>598 Didn't they not play 渚とシークレットデイズ?

>593 That's way too predictable and lame, that kind of thing.

It was fun that Mini-Crow let us choose between Cried a Little and Overblow! I chose Cried a Little, but unfortunately the one they played was Overblow!

Yurippe's weird dance had me lol'ing w Honestly, because of that dance, I don't remember Mochi's song at all.

>599 Sorry, maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Hard to say!

They played Tell Me Something near the beginning. The ones they didn't play were 迷いの森 渚とシークレットデイズ 今日と明日と Marionette Fantasia and Over Blow were moving.

>590 Her legs were really toned! The first outfit was sexy!

>604 Sorry, so that's the correct answer? Quite a lot of people were diligently taking setlist notes!

It ended at 8:30? I could've made it lol, kinda regret it lol

I couldn't go, so please post the setlist~ I'm planning to listen at home in setlist order・・・・

>608 Go check a blog!

Whose blog?

Don't call it a weird dance lol Yurippe was shy at first, but gradually got into it.

I'm almost home, so wait for the setlist.

>612 Thanks, I'll wait~ Please do!

>610 A fan's! It might be on mixi too!

It's still glowing! http://imepita.jp/20101212/794730

>607 She was really urging us to come to Nagoya!

There are still Nagoya tickets left...

Mochi also sang one of Mochi's songs from the album! More importantly, Mochi's face while doing backing vocals as Yurippe sang an English song had me crying laughing!

>602 That dance was really comical and great. Nana-sama was dancing while playing too, and was subtly bewitching and captivating. I wish I'd brought binoculars.

>616 I'm going to Nagoya, but it's the day after the Gane show lol.

Yurippe's dancing was insanely cute. Those moves don't look like they're coming from a woman over 30. Can't wait for the DVD.

Those who went today, please give us the full details on Yurippe's thighs.

http://imepita.jp/20101212/804540 I managed to get this, but I couldn't get the paper airplane! Someone upload it! Did it have a handwritten message on it?

>622 Otsu! Yamashita Tatsuro...!? So they really didn't play 迷いの森...

“Couldn't understand the English song,” lol. Your blank looks had me dying. Yurippe looking so lonely at that point had me in stitches.

>625 They only sang a little bit of the chorus of Tatsuro Yamashita's クリスマス・イブ.

The last song was 今宵エデンの片隅で. So it really is a standard after all.

>622 Otsu Sorry, my memory is shot! Why am I saying Call My Name when they didn't even sing it!?

I wanted to go to Osaka (T_T)(T_T)(T_T)(T_T)

>624 Congrats. What even is that?

>628　Rather than that, it felt like Spiral was out... 　　　It was always in second-to-last place at past shows (in other words, the last song of the main set), right? 　　　More importantly, dancing Yurippe was cute this time.

>623 Is this the usual guy? Today's Yurippe can really make you hyperventilate! You might get to see it if you go to the Nagoya or Tokyo show! In a way, maybe it's the last resort for selling tickets lol!

Wasn't song 21 Okamoto-kun's song from the Christmas compilation? Yurippe sang it, though.

>630 There are still countdown tickets left, so go!

>622 I think they played Nonsense before Wish...

So the Osaka show on the best-of tour really did get them chewed out afterward lol

It was a shame she ended up yelling like she was competing with the drums.

>631 Not that I'm happy about it! The silver version of the paper streamer! There were still some lying around after the show!

For Yurippe's shorts, picture Hikita Tenko's costume.

It was kinda nice seeing a lone girl filling out an FC membership form. I hope more fans join~

I also wrote on the survey that the smell of the fat old guy in the seat in front of me was awful. Hope they fix that by Nagoya.

Cut it out www

What I'd like them to improve is, could they turn the instruments down a little? Maybe they're trying to make sure the back row can hear too! Also, doesn't Yurippe's singing get too shouty? She sings everything the exact same way! And Azuki spent the whole time staring at her sheet music! Get rid of the English songs and Mini-Crow!

>644 If you've got complaints, get your ticket through the general allocation.

I get how the girl who said “I'm gonna miss the last train~” felt, but she shouldn't have said that.

>639 Then I'll pick up a whole bunch lol

Talk more about the thighs, hnghng

It's a little early, but let's review the Osaka show. ◎Good points◎ ・A song order that broke up the monotony 　The opening was pretty unexpected. The Christmas songs were fine at that level. 　(The lack of Spiral was probably due to the venue.) ・The staging was more elaborate than usual 　The chorus lineup was gorgeous, and the mid-show staging was good too ♪ ・Yurippe's thig(ry ×Bad points× ・Even though this was a show after a new album, there weren't enough days between them. 　I went into the show without knowing a lot of the songs. 　(I bought the album at the venue.) ・Too short 　It was only two hours and twenty minutes even with the Mini-Crow setup in the middle. It was a lot shorter than March. 　But I guess it couldn't be helped・・・・? ・The leader and Nana-sama did the same poses as last time when introducing their T-shirts. 　You two, standing side by side facing the audience... 　Actually, this group is pretty lacking in posing skills. 　There are even people who are always flashing peace signs in the fan newsletter (ry Anyway, I just wrote down whatever came to mind.

>644 If you're in the front row, there aren't any smells wafting over from in front of you, so that's nice!

The girl who shouted “What about Okamocchi's love life?” was the one crossing a line. Mochi and Yurippe freezing up had me laughing.

Yurippe's weird dance while Super Light was singing was way too cute.

Anyway, the first half's setlist was divine. I was especially surprised by the first song, Marionette Fantasia, and Yurippe's entrance looked mystical.

Good points Yurippe's kitty pose Mochi's love life

>651 Just imagining it is hilarious w

a

Since Kurose's cage wasn't there, they matched the drum volume, and the result completely ruined Yurippe's vocals. I'm looking forward to Azuki-san's thighs.

Yurippe said there are lots of couples at Gane shows, but surprisingly there really are a lot of couples and other normies living the good life. An old married couple was sitting next to me, and it made me think there really are all kinds of people.

>645 Are the general and FC seats really separated that much? I feel like I've seen people here who were in the FC but sitting near the last row too!

So does that mean the only song they sing at every show on the whole tour is 水のない海?

I can't download the unreleased audio.

Good points ・A setlist that took me by surprise 　Personally, I was glad to hear Marionette Fantasia and U. ・Yurippe dancing and shaking next to Super Hitoshi-kun Bad points ・She suddenly started singing an English song with choreography, and everyone just stood there blankly. ・The usual heckling ・The gross otaku in the seat next to me was humming “ウッイエー” along at the end of Holy ground.

>658 Same next to me! The old guy stayed seated, writing something down! There was an old lady on the other side too! It's my first time being sandwiched between two people over 50!

>658 Same next to me! The old guy stayed seated, writing something down! There was an old lady on the other side too! It's my first time being sandwiched between two people over 50! I probably wasn't the only one, right?

The opening really caught me off guard, but it had such a great atmosphere. Yurippe's dress was cute too. My biggest complaint was Furui-san's shoulder keyboard was gone aaah!

That English song was a hymn, right?

I thought it was Lady Gaga.

Right, my biggest complaint is that they didn't sing 迷いの森!

What was the stage set like?

>667 If you say that, trend-chasing Yurippe might actually do it!

>666 Was it arranged in a rock style? Either way, it was a song with that kind of tempo, yet nobody clapped or even moved to the rhythm. The entire audience was just standing there blankly.

Yurippe should dance more. Was the red plaid meant to evoke AKB or something?

>576 I was late and died of rage.

>666 If it was the one with “Glooooria,” then that's a hymn.

Impressions Nonsense~WISH♪ got me fired up. Nakamura-san changing from the Christmas dress to shorts just on the bottom got me fired up a second time. Next up, Nana-chan's shorts...!

>652　That dance didn't feel like something she just improvised on the spot, huh. 　　　She'd planned it beforehand. Same with the hymn. >666　Since it was Christmas, there was a non-Garnet song in there. 　　　It came out of nowhere, so I couldn't react right away. >669　It was heavily Christmas-themed. White as the main color? 　　　It had a slightly elegant feel. >670　Please don't do that. >672　That dress seems to have been inspired by Christmas. 　　　If you put it that way, so was the initial miniskirt outfit (lol).

It was my first time going to a Garnet concert today, and I found it strange that Yurippe sings so well and the songs are so good, yet they aren't more popular.

>677 They sell pretty well, you know. They're at the forefront of J-pop. Go apologize to the people who really aren't selling.

Are the lyrics displayed on the box at Yurippe's feet every time? And she still gets the lyrics wrong? How does that work lol

Azuki is in her own world as ever! Wasn't she kind of pissed today? At the countdown show, could they just proceed without throwing any questions at Azuki at all?

In the darkness, 33-year-old Yurippe sat on the red stairs like a mermaid and started singing Fantasia in a white, floaty dress. Absolutely adorable.

I imported Mini-Crow into iTunes, but no track metadata came up. Is that just how it is?

I looked at the MINIQLO CD and the number was 4649 (yoroshiku) lol

>676 Was I the only one who thought that dance looked like Conan dancing?

>682 That's just how it is. Since it's not generally distributed and was only released recently, it would be stranger if it had metadata.

I can't be the only one who wants to hear the full version of Smiley Nation soon.

>683 Ah, right. I didn't notice. >684 Oh, so it was imitating Conan.

>682 That's just how it is! Everyone's priorities are going home, eating dinner, taking a bath, getting on 2ch, and going to bed!

Yurippe's dance felt like a mashup of Section Chief Nekota and Mr. Holiday's “become transparent water♪”

>679　Have you never seen a ZARD concert? 　　　This agency has way too many vocalists who get the lyrics wrong even with the lyrics displayed. 　　　Izumi in particular is something else.

33-year-old Yurippe never skips checking her dance in the nude after taking a bath.

Hecklers, go die.

Sorry, thanks. Come to think of it, the Parauni I got the day before didn't show up either.

The cover of Rihanna's Umbrella was really good. Was everyone unfamiliar with the original? Their blank stares were pretty funny.

Honestly, I only pretended to get into Super Light out of politeness. I was lying when I said I'd bought the CD too.

Ah~ I can't wait to see Yurippe dressed like a princess.

There was an accident on the Shinkansen. Normally, the last train from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo leaves at 22:30, but the 21:20 departure ended up being the last one. That was close, that was close. People from out of town who took their time getting home are in for a rough time.

I wanted to kick out the people who heckled “Where's Nana-san?” and “Where's Furui-san?” when the Mini-Crow segment started. Even if you hate Mini-Crow, don't heckle. The anti-Mini-Crow crowd only made themselves look bad.

Tomorrow's Hokkaido, right? I wish they'd come do a live show there~

>694 I was standing there blankly too. I kept hearing “era,” so I thought it was a song by someone with a big jaw.

Rainy soul, which they played midway through, was good too.

Today was my first time hearing Super Light, and I absolutely loved it.

One Christmas song by another artist would've been enough. I think three was overdoing it. Even though there are plenty of songs they could do in winter, like White Out, Tsumetai Kage, Elysium, and Haru Matsu Hana no You ni...

>695 I thought it was an unusual and interesting song, but yeah, I couldn't really get into it. Still, Yurippe's fun dance and Nana-sama's sexy dance made me totally satisfied.

Something from today's MC caught my attention: they said the song order for the 31st would be decided after the three shows (Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo), right? Was that for real? Yurippe won't have any time to rest. I assume they've already narrowed it down to some extent, but... Her opening outfit was so sheer that you could really see how thin she is, and I was worried about her.

>699 Oh, I didn't know that. A live appearance in Hokkaido the day after the concert? That sounds rough.

・At MINIQLO, the audience chose between Cried a Little and Overblow (Osaka chose Overblow) ・Nonsense → Wish★ was a medley ・Pay attention to the pedestal on the right right after the opening! ・The direction of the countdown show will be decided based on how this show turns out ・Mysterious Eyes had a Christmas arrangement Mochi unusually brought up the question of what it was like to look back on the past ten years. Furui-san seemed unusually quiet... He must be busy. MINIQLO's arrangement of Cried a Little is really nice! The original is good too, of course, but this version works in its own way.

The questions for each member felt like scripted bits disguised as ad-libbing.

Yurippe: “What's your favorite song from Parauni?” ↓ Furui: “stranger” ↓ Nana: “The Crack-up” ↓ The next song was The Crack-up. We never got to hear Light-kun's or Yurippe's favorite songs＼(^o^)／

>708 Yeah, especially the question to Azuki-san about her favorite song on the new album was obviously scripted. Azuki-san acted like she was thinking before answering, but as soon as she gave an answer, they immediately started playing that song. The “I'm not gonna make the last train” heckle came while she was pretending to think.

>694 So that was the original... They arranged it way too cool. What a creator collective. But why that song, all of a sudden? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JchxJuK-CE

n

She's probably at that age where she wants to dance. Try to understand her. I'll accept it, no matter how weird the dance is.

Are Yurippe's shorts worn with bare legs? There are all kinds of shorts, but how long were they? Were more of her thighs exposed than in the tennis miniskirt calendar with Yurippe?

The short-sleeved T-shirt designs for Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo were all by Mochi the artist. Apparently the cat on the Osaka version was made by adding a body to the cat's face from the ukulele at the members' event.

Someone do something about Terao's condescending tone on Twitter. He keeps saying, “Come to the live show!” That three-member group is debuting next year, but they're already guaranteed to get fat.

I noticed a mistake in the piano intro to As the Dew. Is that the downside of changing the key between the CD and live versions?

>714 About 4 cm below Yuriman.

>718 I've seen Rina Ai wear shorts at a live show. Were they about that short? Was she not wearing tights or anything? Bare legs?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMwgLdIaXQs This is the image I have of Yurippe's dancing.

Seriously, were they really short shorts? Or were they more like shorts that came halfway down her thighs?

On the 13th and 14th, Yurippe and Mochi are making the radio station rounds again? That's way too much work. The other two should get moving too. Don't get cocky just because you're older (`ヘ´)ﾌﾟﾝﾌﾟﾝ

>719 About the same as Rina Ai. And bare legs.

I want to know what Yurippe's shorts looked like. Could someone upload a picture that's a good match?

>723 Seriously? That's pretty revealing. So she stayed in that outfit for the whole second half?

Were you picturing B'z's Inaba or something lol

>724 http://viploader.net/ippan/src/vlippan174533.jpg >725 Seriously. Yurippe, who usually has such a high guard, was way too bold!

>720 Weird lol

What were her socks and shoes like? Over-the-knee socks?

>727 Did she sing in that outfit for the whole second half?

Looking at this thread, I realize Garnet Crow is still pretty popular... but the posts are all about looks instead of songs. Is Garnet finally over? lol

She's been doing that butt-wiggling dance for ages, right? I saw it a lot on GARNET TIME.

Weren't Yurippe's thighs kinda thick?

>729 I don't really remember the socks and shoes, but they came a little above her knees. >730 Yeah.

But when she changed into shorts, didn't the venue erupt? It must've been pretty shocking, since she'd never done that before.

>733 They were thin. About the thickness of an average middle school girl's. Her skin was so glossy and plump-looking, you could easily believe she was in her twenties.

But that really is shocking. What happened to Yurippe? Did she sing with her thighs completely exposed? Was it pretty erotic?

>737 “Sexy” would be more accurate than “erotic.” The desperation of ID:dMGi8e3a0 had me lol'ing.

Her thighs are the hot topic now, but is she doing this every other show? She didn't do it at the best-of show in March, but at the LOCK-ON show before that, her thighs were completely on display (ry Actually, the singing was good too. I don't especially love the CD version of OverDrive, but it's my favorite song live. The previous campaign and the March show had god-tier songs too. Maybe it's because those songs have that kind of vibe.

Yuri-san's thighs...

Smiley Nation is good too. This seems to be Conan-related as well.

It was probably the most revealing she's ever been. People used to make a fuss over just a little bit of thigh showing, but this time it must've been so fully exposed it was almost ridiculous.

I can't wait for the DVD. I want to see Yurippe in those shorts soon. Just imagining it...

I'm insanely jealous of the guy in the center of the front row. Yurippe's bare thighs were about 1.5 meters in front of his eyes!

>694 They did Umbrella! And nobody even knew it lol I thought Gane fans knew a lot about Western music, but maybe not. Umbrella has been covered by all kinds of artists around the world in all kinds of arrangements. What was GARNET's arrangement like?

I'm trying to imagine what it looked like. Was it like the woman dancing on the left side in the background of the PV for Yasuyuki Okamura's song Super Girl? She wears knee-highs and shorts.

>747 Ah, yeah, it was something like that, I think.

I messed up the quote. >746

Wow, though, this is something else. Until now, it was hard to get a good look at Yurippe's thighs, but this time they were fully exposed enough to get old just looking at them. Man, I want to see those thighs already.

>746 Different era, so I guess it can't be helped... but that PV is so damn dated www Yurippe would probably pull it off though ww

>745 It was a pretty rockin' arrangement. I was thinking, “Yurippe can sing something like this!?” Anyone going later should study the original first. What's with the people who keep going on about thighs? Listen to the music...

Still, considering what Yurippe used to be like, seeing her perform live with her thighs completely exposed was unthinkable. Wow.

People who went to the show must've been shocked when they saw Yurippe in shorts, right? Nobody expected her to show up dressed like that. I don't think anyone went to the concert expecting to behold her thighs completely on display like that.

I think people are writing that because you're being so damn persistent lol

>754 What do you mean? I don't get what you're saying.

Does anyone know the title of the Christmas song Mini-Crow sang?

Positions summary http://viploader.net/ippan/src/vlippan174550.jpg

Even at two and a half hours, that's quite a number of songs.

ANGELS〜 is the hymn, right? Isn't that 27 songs?

Yurippe's legs as thin as a middle school girl's? No way, surely not.

By the way, the gachapon prize was a signed shikishi board. I wonder how many of those there were??

There was no tambourine.

>758 Interesting lol

>757 Let's make 24. Mysterious Eyes 〜gospel version〜.

>734 At first she was wearing black mesh shoes.

Are they going to sing a Christmas song in Tokyo too? Christmas is almost over.

There seemed to be an unusually high number of normies at today's show. Nagoya is probably going to be even more full-on lovey-dovey couples, huh orz

While you guys were standing there blankly, Yurippe went “ding” on the triangle and made everyone even more bewildered. She was super cute. Yurippe—and you guys—did a GJ recovering with the next song. But with the audience looking that blank, maybe she won't do it in Nagoya.

The gachapon winning odds after the show started were insanely high. Isn't Azuki-san's handwriting way too ugly?

>768 Maybe we'll get to see Mochi and Yurippe do a lovey-dovey Christmas duet! There was talk of people dating after meeting through a concert or GARNET, right? How did Yurippe hear about that? Did they write it on a survey or a radio postcard?

After Yurippe left the stage, I saw the remaining members hold hands and thank the audience. It made me feel the distance between Azuki-san and Yurippe.

While calling Gane concerts a power spot for romance, she must really be hoping they'll serve as a cushion for the members announcing their marriages and babies.

After Mochi got married, that woman's intensity got creepy. You'd think he'd get it after she said it once.

>774 She was pretty bad about it several times today lol

Is Smiley Nation the next single's A-side or a coupling track?

Also, Azuki-san kept looking at me the whole time. Through the aisle between rows 28 and 29 ◎

Did Mochi sing that tongue-twister of a song?

I was glued to Yurippe's dancing during Mochi's segment. It did seem like a fast song, but I wasn't interested in the singing. All I can say is Yuriccho is cute.

MINIQLO's “above all else!!” has been edited with Microsoft's fai.

I want to master Yurippe's dance and get that sense of togetherness next time.

>777 No way, she was obviously only looking at the sheet music!

The two people on the Mini-Crow inner sleeve. Their couple vibe straight out of the Showa era accidentally made me jealous.

When Azuki-san turned the pages of her sheet music, her jacket rode up, and you could glimpse the elastic of her panties through the gap. Not many people probably noticed that.

>783 There's something jarring about Yurippe's glamorous hairstyle contrasted with her casual clothes.

You'd never imagine this transformation from the PE-teacher-style fashion she had in First Scope.

>First Scope's PE-teacher-style fashion That had me lol'ing.

My body has gotten so used to it that I can't feel like the show is over unless they do Spiral. It's like that weird feeling of not hearing Kat-chan say “Brush your teeth,” as they do in the Drifters.

>788 Since this show was Christmas-themed, they went to the Bible for the very end too, so they finished with Eden. It might also be because they got scolded for jumping at Grancube last time.

Can you really enjoy a Gane show by yourself... If I ended up trapped between couples in that kind of tragedy, I might leave halfway through!

>790 A loner who can enjoy it perfectly well alone.

Yurippe has really gotten beautiful. Ten years can really change a person. She needs to hurry up and get married already (>_<)

Yurippe has turned into Miss Promotion. The moment she opens her mouth, she's advertising the works and merch, like she's selling herself cheap for the sake of sales. Is reality really that harsh?

The company couldn't sell even to begin with, and now we're in an era where CDs are getting harder to sell. She's fighting for her dinner.

>793 >794 I actually stopped buying anything because she started pushing the merch so desperately! Has the promotion worked and boosted sales compared to before?

>793 She's wearing herself down.

What's on the Mini-Crow CD? And did they premiere the new song called Smiley Nation?

>791 I wonder if you'll still be able to say that on December 24 lol Good thing it was Tokyo.

>795 Buy her some cheap merch, at least. If she can't sell and can't get married, she might end up being forced into pillow work for a bald, fat old man, you know?

>774 The point is to make the members remember you through attention-grabbing comments. Yurippe has been friendly toward regular fans lately, so maybe that's making her misunderstand things even more.

>797 Look a little farther up! Mini-Crow: ・まぼろし ・スカイブルー ・Cried a little Apparently! They didn't sing any new song!

>799 Whether she sells or not has nothing to do with getting married. Yurippe will get married if she meets someone wonderful (though she probably won't announce it).

>799 I have the money, I just don't want any of it! If only the merch had quality on par with the songs! Buying all the merch costs tens of thousands of yen in general, so I don't consider that cheap! There are plenty of rich GARNET fans who'd be happy to take it off their hands! Just don't repeat Uehara's fiasco, please www

Does anyone know from which row the second floor starts in Nagoya?

The “new song” means the venue-exclusive downloadable ringtone that's been a common B-GIZA thing lately.

Someone make some YouTube trailers for this year's Conan movie, using アオゾラ カナタ, tell me something, and 渚とシークレットデイズ as the theme songs, respectively lol

Today Yurippe is going to walk through the illuminations in Odori Park with Mochi, huh lol

>807 She's going for work, you know. The manager is going too.

Is it a well-known joke that OVER DRIVE sounds exactly like the ♪Sairen na~i, uuh~ from Tatsuro Yamashita's Christmas Eve?

>807-808 Yurippe, having to deal with that brutal schedule, poor thing.

My Tokyo International tickets for the 26th arrived!!!

If they're only staying one night in Sapporo, I wish Mini-Crow would do an in-store mini-live.

I climbed Tsutenkaku while I was in Osaka for the show, and now I'm wandering around Nishinari's dark shopping streets. Casually enjoying a real-life parallel world right now.

The smartphone browser turns the final character into a 0, which is annoying, but Super Tamade is seriously cool. Its oasis factor is off the charts.

>812 I get how you feel, but let her rest at least a little lol Anyway, I hope she eats sushi and gets a good rest after today's radio show. Tomorrow isn't a day off either; she's working.

They've added even more radio appearances lol Hokkaido on the 14th → Fukuoka on the 15th is a ridiculous schedule. When does she ever rest...

They're probably laying the groundwork to focus exclusively on Mini-Crow in the future. If they keep up the cosplay route, they'll probably attract a new layer of fans too.

What time did today's radio guest segment start again? I just got home and can finally listen now...

>818 It's on right now lol

>817 >“Focus exclusively on Mini-Crow in the future” Azuki-san said that seven or ten years is about the limit for sticking with one thing. If she really wants to quit, that might actually be possible. Maybe she's only continuing because the members and staff talked her into it...

>819 Yeah, I know that, but I was wondering what time Yurippe and Mochi came on. Wait, have they been on continuously since noon?

They came on after twenty minutes past the hour.

Yesterday's dance keeps flickering through my mind, and I can't get any work done. What a sinful woman.

>821 I think it was after 2:30. You got home at exactly the right time.

The blog is up. http://825.fm/blog/fusion.php

*3rd　6,878 *9th　3,144 13th　1,326 11th　1,159 12th　1,353

Even if I put my entire bonus into it, I couldn't get it to number one.... It's not about the rankings.

>822 >824 Thanks.

They're probably doing promo while pretending to be a couple with Mochi. Did she always call him Okamoto-kun?

The Osaka show is over, but neither the diary nor the staff blog has been updated~~

>826 Tough. Can they barely make the top 10?

If you let the canary go, it'll die, right? What irresponsibility.

>831 They're in ninth place for now. Maybe I'll buy the album too. If anyone's heard it, tell me what was good about it.

>831 It'll probably be eighth to tenth, but the fact that the first-week sales are down 7,000 from STAY is more worrying.

Is that beeping, horn-like sound on カナリヤ放した? I checked my rearview mirror about ten times.

>834 Changing from three versions to two probably had some effect too, right?

Have albums really gotten to the point where this is all they can sell... I listened to the radio, and both of them sounded exhausted lol

【GARNET CROW album sales】 01/01/31　#6　5 weeks　51,830　87,150　first soundscope〜水のない晴れた海へ〜 02/04/24　#4　9 weeks　73,010　156,410　SPARKLE〜筋書き通りのスカイブルー〜 03/11/12　#5　13 weeks　45,163　84,071　Crystallize〜君という光〜 04/12/08　#11　10 weeks　35,917　64,347　I'm waiting 4 you 05/11/07　#4　13 weeks　55,710　108,703　GARNET CROW Best

>836 Since it includes As the Dew and 空に花火, as someone who bought Best and All Lovers, I hated that both songs were included again. I bought it anyway, though.

>801 >805 Thanks.

Compared with Kuraki's slump, this is still better, right? At least GARNET doesn't have a past to look back on.

I'm worried by how little momentum the countdown show has, like they might even sell same-day tickets.

Personally, I'm glad we have Non-sense and Osenchi. I wish the 26th would get here already~

15　GARNET CROW

Thinking about Yurippe, it's Secret Days again today.

This may sound harsh, but I feel like current Gane is missing that doomed, ill-fated aura. It seems to have less of the melancholy that draws in negative people these days. But that's GIZA's fault too, grinding artists down with shady business practices and brutal workloads despite not even having any capital.

The shipping email arrived.

迷いの森 is my favorite. It kind of sounds like L'Arc-en-Ciel. Tell Me Something is poppy, which I like. strangers is pretty good too. At first I thought it was a so-so album, but the more I listen, the more I understand what makes it good. The singles and 空に花火 are sure-fire winners. I don't really like 今日と明日と, though. The intro to アオゾラ カナタ kind of resembles Yume Koshio's それでも明日はやってくる.

I want to get lost in 迷いの森 with Yurippe.

Is it 渚とシークレットデイズ? Her pronunciation is seriously awful, no matter how you look at it. I don't know if it's the A melody or B melody: 『ぅんっで　ぅんっだって　ぅんなぅん　ぅなんだ〜♪』 What is that “なんだ” supposed to be?

Yuri-san, does Okamocchi's dick feel good?

>851 It's a parallel universe.

My Nagoya tickets arrived... First floor... second row... dead center... ...What do I do? I already bought general-sale tickets because I wanted to watch casually from the second floor ww

>849 Wander around the afterlife alone lol

>853 Upi!

相葉-kun is confirmed to appear in the final episode of “Freeter, Buy a House”! 12/21　Final episode w

What does “Upi!” even mean www The best-of tour was my first time, and on my second show I get a god-tier seat ww I don't have the nerve to watch from that far forward when I'm a lame old guy like me ww

Old guys are fine, but spare us the funky smells. Otherwise Yurippe's nice scent won't be able to reach us.

I want them to talk on the radio about how the cow-like creature drawn on the Mini-Crow CD has its dick depicted in faithful detail.

“Upi” means “upload it,” right? http://www.restspace.jp/gazo/img-box/img20101213202149.jpg Well, it's not like that proves anything.

>854 Please tell me the reason or source for interpreting “迷いの森 = the afterlife.”

>857 He's telling you to post the picture! If you don't want to, sell it on Yahoo Auctions! I watched from the fourth row and it was seriously sexy! This time, the front rows are worth seeing!

How much do you think it would sell for at auction? lol Why am I freaking out this much lol

>860 Sorry, I'm serious! Is it true you bought another one too?

>863 It has to be worth at least 20,000 yen, right? Anyone who saw the Osaka show knows the front rows are worth it!

>864 I'm serious lol If it's a second-floor seat, you don't have to stand up, right? The general-sale ticket I bought is right by the stage on Furui-san's side. I thought I'd be able to see AZUKI-san face-to-face... Somehow I'm gradually starting to feel worse lol

That's the manzai side. I'm jealous.

>866 Azuki doesn't face straight ahead; she faces diagonally to the right, so a seat a little left of center would probably be ideal! But she stares at her sheet music the whole time, so it doesn't matter anyway lol! You don't have to stand even if you're not in the second floor! I couldn't stand at last year's countdown show because my back hurt! But my seat was front row of the second floor, dead center opposite Yurippe, so I got to enjoy the view lol! Though honestly I didn't stand even if you leave my back out of it! This year's countdown show is the worst!

Since they're appearing on the radio in Fukuoka, does that mean they'll do a show in Fukuoka around next year?

>866 Joining the fan club apparently automatically gets you good seats (lol) For the best-of tour, I had an aisle seat in the third row on Nana-sama's side.

>820 If you got hounded by a gross otaku fujoshi, you'd want to quit too.

Yeah! This time I've worked up the courage to watch from the first floor. Yurippe's thighs matter more than money w!! Does anyone want a second-floor ticket...? Looks like Nagoya still has tickets left as usual.

>872 Go hyperventilate and enjoy yourself www! Try starting it at one yen on Yahoo Auctions, or see if anyone wants it on mixi!

I thought the front seats were reserved for young pairs, but apparently not. Or did they stop doing that because the tickets get resold and the same old guys are always in front?

>874 Apparently it has nothing to do with that! How closely are you watching the audience? Give us the details on the same old guy always in front, kwsk!

>875 He's the stalker of the person who wants to quit.

>876 You mean the person who wants to quit is Azuki?

I WANTED TO SEE YURIPPE'S THIGHS TOO PLEASE OPEN THE COUNTRY FOR US

It was my first concert and I was happy with row 9 in Tokyo. Was that actually kind of mediocre?

>875 It's that person who always shows up on the DVDs, right? When I saw him in real life, I thought he looked familiar from somewhere. I thought he was a celebrity, but it was just because I'd seen him so many times on the DVDs.

The NHK FM Music Line Guest Corner is over. Over Drive was an understandable choice, but The Crack-up... I'm not sure about that one. The song itself is fine, but for ordinary radio listeners it felt a little too shouty.

>861 I'm an idiot, so don't overthink it! It's just my personal interpretation. I interpret it as a depiction of the dead making their way to the afterlife—or what people call the Sanzu River. >The trip there is easy; there is no trip back. ・The road for the dead to reach the afterlife is one-way. ・Being alive is fine, but there is no coming back to life.

迷いの森 is basically a love story itself. Why are you turning it into the land of the dead? lol

>882 Hmm, I see. Thanks for the reply.

I guess saying the word “death” is enough to make you feel like you've come up with a deep interpretation. Ugh, give me a break.

I like the way Yurippe laughs.

Is it really okay to bash someone else's interpretation?

迷いの森 = Yurippe's thighs

>886 Yeah, I like it too. I like the way Nana-san laughs too.

Azuki-san must be popular. That figure would stand out anywhere.

Yuri probably won't come. A lonely Christmas Eve.

>891 Yurippe: “Please come to Nagoya!”

I want to marry Yuri-san.

I like Nana-san's wry laugh.

If an interpretation changes just because someone criticized it, then it was only worth that much to begin with.

Cowboy needs to read the room already.

Kurose's playing itself isn't bad. The only bad thing is that he doesn't coordinate things the way David-san used to.

>896 Could you stop creating that kind of atmosphere? Write something more interesting instead of only talking about erotic or sexy stuff.

Of course it's the tour I can't attend that has the thighs and Yuri!

Yesterday I was in the second row from the back on the first floor, and maybe because of the lighting, the stage looked completely white and I could barely see Yurippe. Also, even though it's the Christmas season, one cover song would've been enough. It was hard to know how to react lol More importantly, when I watched from the very back, it was funny seeing the glow sticks in the “holy ground” section moving in opposite directions between the groups on the right and left side of the stage at first lol

The glow sticks in the “holy ground” section are never in sync, are they? lol I think it'd look beautiful if they all lined up.

The thighs weren't bare. She was wearing stockings.

I wish Yurippe and Okamocchi would get married already. If she married a comedian like Hannya or something, I couldn't rest in peace even after I died.

The chorus of tell me something always makes me think of this... 　　　　　関・係・ないから　　　　　　　　　　　　 　γ⌒)　))　　関係ないから 　　　　　　　　＿＿＿（⌒ヽ　 　　　　　　　　　　 /　⊃＿＿ 　 　　　　　／⌒　　⌒⊂_　ヽヾ 　 　 　 　 　〃/　/ ⌒　　⌒＼ （⌒ヽ∩／（ ⌒） 　（⌒） |(⌒ヽ　　　　　　 γ⌒)（ ⌒） 　（⌒） ＼ ∩⌒) 　ヽ 　ﾉ| :::⌒（__人__）⌒ ::| ⊂ `､三　 三 ／ _ノ :::⌒（__人__）⌒ 〃/　ノ 　　＼ ＼ 　　 ）┬-| 　　/　/>　） ）） ( （　 <|　 |　　　|r┬（　　　 /　/　）） (( （⌒ )､ ヽ＿ `ー‐'　,／ ／　／　三　( ＼　ヽ ＼ ＿`ー‐' 　／（ ⌒） 　　＼ ＼ / 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 /　/

>816 It's a brutal schedule. If they're going to make the radio rounds, I wish they'd think a little more about the dates and locations.

>904 lol

The thighs are a present from Santa Yurippe.

Does this radio campaign actually work?

Until now, I thought the last part of strangers was “落陽が綺麗っすか?” lol So it was “sky.”

>908 Honestly, I don't think it does lol

>910 It's probably just an excuse to stay overnight.

The reason Nakamura can endure such a packed schedule is that she's with the person she likes. She gets to go on dates out in the open.

The second floor of Tokyo Forum is infinitely far from the thighs.

>908 At this point, there probably aren't any people who'll become fans just by listening to the radio. Radio doesn't seem very meaningful. If they want to sell CDs, holding events would probably be better.

Aaaah, geez—Futomomo Kanata

They should have an event where buying a CD gets you a thigh touch.

People who aren't even that interested also show up at public radio recordings. They chatter away right next to you, and it gets annoying a lot of the time.

I want to rub my cheek against Yuri-san's thighs.

These people should get married already, or they'll end up unable to have children.

Gya-ha-ha! The two women here, the vocalist and keyboardist—haven't their amniotic fluids already rotted? lol

I want Yuri-san to get married soon and leave behind those one-of-a-kind genes. If she doesn't, it'll be a huge loss for humanity.

>916 >918　If you bought around 3,000 singles by yourself, maybe she'd put out for you...(ry Anyway, people going to Nagoya, check whether they do Spiral. Osaka felt like it was just a venue issue... (They jumped way too much last time.)

>922 If that were the case, I think they'd have chosen a different place back when they were selecting the venue.

I came while listening to strangers!

>924 Please disappear right now.

Even looking at the Stablog photos, Yurippe and Okamocchi really suit each other. Recording and doing promo together every day must be fun. They seem incredibly close, and at 33 and 34 they're at the age where it wouldn't be weird if they were already married.

>912 Honestly, they must be totally lovey-dovey. Even a date with staff tagging along must be a blast.

Futomomo Kanata

I want her to give me a Frankensteiner with those thighs.

>410 I can easily picture Yurippe pointing the microphone at the audience lol

>926 From the way you describe it, the three of them with the manager sound like a three-girl group lol They've even said Mochi is more girly than the girls lol

Broadcast over. http://www.air-g.co.jp/lief/topics/detail.php?id=15158

The gist was basically, “Was there any need to come all the way to Hokkaido?” The only interesting part was the news seriously reporting that Santa Claus's footprints had been found at the Sapporo TV Tower, and the two of them cracking up.

>903 I hate comedians too, but she'd probably lose even more fans if she married some handsome, high-spec guy.

I'm glad that, before I die, it looks like I'll somehow be able to make it to the December 26 show. I made it this far because of GARNET CROW's songs. Thank you, GARNET CROW.

My son starts elementary school next year, too. I want a mom who can dance that well. I wish I'd been born Yurippe's son.

Yuri marries Okamocchi and starts an affair with Kurose.

>935 Huh, are you sick or something?

>935 I hope Yurippe's miraculous singing voice cures your illness.

Weekly #10, 15,773 copies.

Please sell me one within the first ten rows for 30,000 yen.

>940 Otsu! So they barely made the top 10. Not only did they finally dip below 20,000 first-week sales, they've reached the point where they can barely get to 15,000... They've fallen to the level of singles from several years ago. And I'm saying this even though I still haven't managed to buy the album.

Honestly, any seat where I can look up at GARNET is fine. Spare me the second-floor seats and other seats where you have to look down...

I wonder how many copies Mochi's album sold.

>940 Did the impact of the Conan movie tie-in not carry over to the album?

Honestly, the songs by artists other than GARNET weren't necessary. Mini-Crow is within the acceptable range since those are GARNET songs. Surely there were more suitable songs they could've done... If the setlist was going to center on Bible-themed songs, I wish they'd done ふたり or 逃れの町.

Forgot lol SUPER LIGHT: #74, 2,172 copies Previous release: #154, 1,417 copies

>947 Oh, it made the top 100. That's pretty good lol

>941 For 100,000 yen, I'll sell you my Nagoya I-row ticket lol

The GARNET era is finally here!

>947 The Okamoto Hitoshi era is finally here!

It arrived from Amazon lol Early leak.

No PV this time? How lonely.

I'll buy the regular edition sometime this week lol It's a little sad that the first-press edition only has one song lol At least it comes with a PV and making-of footage.

>938, 939 Yeah, they told me I have at most two years left. It's sad since I'm still in my twenties, but I'll stay positive. I'm looking forward to the 26th.

After going to the show, my impression of この冬の白さに changed quite a bit.

The important thing is that GARNET CROW's album isn't selling at all...

There wasn't even a PV beforehand, and the tie-in is only local...

The PV and making-of were good lol I like the futuristic CG visuals and the members being cute lol

GIZA's approach is so stupid it's hilarious. They overwork them for radio appearances but don't give them any proper tie-ins or TV appearances. They force the schedule so tight that the album ends up with fewer songs, and fans leave. It only works against them.

>955 Have fun...(*_*)

>960 They took As the Dew from Best and 空に花火 from All Lovers, rearranged them or not, and put them straight onto this album. It's not just that fans are fed up with them; plenty probably decided to skip this one.

I remembered a girl with leukemia who, about eight years ago, enthusiastically praised the lyrics of 夢みたあとで on her blog. >955 I'm sure it'll be a wonderful show.

I made the next thread. GARNET CROW part.251 http://toki.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1292325956/

Is Gane's annual income around 30 million yen? What are they going to do in retirement?

Seriously?

>965 If it were really that high, Okamocchi's parents wouldn't be asking him, “How long are you going to keep doing this?”

>965 The old guy can arrange, and he has side jobs like teaching, so he's fine. Okamoto-kun can work in a backing band or as a studio musician. As for the two women, they can just find good husbands.

The Crack-up is way too much of a masterpiece.

strangers is way too god-tier...

>969 I just heard it for the first time. It's still playing in my head lol

I want to see Yuri's thighs as soon as possible. She's doing radio in Nagoya the day before too, huh lol. That sounds seriously tough.

Mochi doesn't have a manager, right?

Numbered tickets at 10 AM? Even for an unemployed guy like me, that's too rough.

I want to see Yurippe dressed as an office lady. She's a rookie, but has the gravitas of a veteran old maid.

>972 The 22nd and 23rd too. Having work is a good thing, but it looks tough.

Yurippe's voice on 今日と明日と is unbearably cute.

4 > 1 > 7 > 3 > 2 > 5 > 6 > 8 It's still my first listen, but honestly, this album is so-so. It's weirdly too bright... yeah.

>933 Was that really all?

I wonder how much the members make annually. Yurippe and Azuki-san must be earning over 10 million yen, right?

It probably isn't that much. Maybe around 5 or 6 million yen?

Don't you know how many people they draw to their shows? GC filled Tokyo International Forum A that much. Wherever there's demand in this world, incredible amounts of money gather. They're easily making over 20 million yen.

CD royalties are only 1%, you know. For Nana, for example, it's 100,000 yen per single, 300,000 yen per album, plus her salary. Yurippe probably gets more because she's busier, but she still won't be making over 10 million.

This is an entertainment industry where obscure, garbage-like performers can easily make over 10 million. Mai Kuraki apparently made as much as 100 million at her peak. Being is probably around number five overall, so 20 million sounds reasonable.

Being's artists are on contracts. Only people who reach a certain level of sales get royalty contracts. All the Gane members are on fixed salaries +

Then there are internet downloads and usage fees from other companies, but those are pretty small... Even all together, maybe around 10 million yen?

迷いの森 is a masterpiece, so I wish they'd played it live.

Being is in the red, and the only ones with high salaries are B'z and Mai Kuraki. Everyone else is basically under 10 million because they aren't allowed royalty contracts.

But the early albums sold pretty well, so they must've had a decent income back then. They probably aren't making over 10 million now, though.

Why are you calculating someone else's salary? lol

Ah... I really like this feeling of slowly sinking down. It's so healing.

>983 Songwriting and composition royalties are basically 3%, and apparently go up as you build your career... Since they're signed to financially struggling GIZA, it wouldn't be strange if every member made less than an office worker. But for some reason, the women at GIZA all seem to have money lol (Aiko Kitahara, Yurippe with her 50-inch TV, and so on). AZUKI-san paid 30 million yen in gift tax a few years ago, so I think she has hundreds of millions even if she never works again in the worst case. Looking at it that way, are a lot of them rich to begin with—or somebody's mistress?

The GARNET members aren't starving badly enough for you guys to worry about them lol

>993 Their total sales are over a million, after all. They might be able to live on royalties alone.

Thinking about Yuri-san makes my chest hurt.

Tsuru Hisahide's royalties are only 5 million yen, so you can imagine how little Gane makes.

The karaoke money must be lousy, right? Gane fans don't go to karaoke, after all!

Ume

When I go to karaoke alone, I sing GARNET CROW songs like crazy.

>963 ttp://www.angelfire.com/ex/front_line_mirror/top.html Is this it? Apparently that episode happened two days before she died...
