>1 te乙乙 me something

This is the thread for GARNET CROW fans who are also into Arashi, Hey!Say!JUMP, NYC, B.I.Shadow, and other Johnny's-related stuff.

While I was away, the concert office sent my tickets lol. Countdown concert: Gate 22, Stand row 5... good seats? Yokohama Arena 1/2: Arena D... an insanely god-tier seat has arrivedーーーーーー!!!!!!!!!!!! God, Buddha, concert office, you are all amazing lol. I'm so happy lololol. Johnny's fans rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Egg countdown concert, close to the back stage lolol. I wonder if they'll remove the netting?

>1 A乙ラ カナタ

And it's close to where the underage group sits lolol. NYC and B.I.Shadow will be nearby lol.

>1 A乙UKI七

>1 Nagisa and Secret乙゛ays

I forgot to post my report. 12/25 (Sat) 13:00 — Hey!Say!JUMP Shachi concert. I got on the concert train from Kanayama Station, but it was already packed with people before I even boarded. JUMP fans kept piling in until it was completely crammed lol. I was suffering inside the concert train lol. After ten minutes of suffering, we reached the nearest station lol. I got off, everyone got off, and the train was suddenly empty lol. There were even 15 scalper uncles lol. Bought merch after a 20-minute wait!! The long straps had sold out by noon lol.

Posting or exposing other artists is prohibited, especially anything about Arashi or Johnny's in general.

The 13:00 show started with the usual JUMP chants. My seat was a stand V.I.P. seat lol. The outer walkway stage was right in front of me. This time's theme was “Space.” Since the show had only just started, the contents are secret lol. The positioning was great this time; I could see Takaki-kun, Yamada-kun, and Chinen-kun especially well. There was a walkway right behind me too, and Yamada-kun's cart went past lol. It ended after about two hours and twenty minutes. There were fewer Juniors this time. The Juniors taking part were: Morimoto Shintaro-kun, B.I.Shadow (Kento Nakajima-kun was absent for drama filming), HIPHopJUMP, and four Junior boys. Compared with Teito and Takoyaki, it was only about a third as many lol.

>1, otsu. It was a great concert today. People still wouldn't stop yelling “Marry me!” as usual, though.

Can someone tell me the details of the unreleased recording's chaku-uta? @ iPhone user orz

Oh yeah, there was something like that. What was it? Is it okay to write the title? It can't be a new song, can it~ That one really sounds like a rejected Conan song. Nagisa feels like an inferior version of Tell Me.

Having experienced Osaka made it easier to deal with various things, which was good. In the Mini-Crow segment, Over Blow won all three rounds against Cried a little, which surprised me, but it was great that they did both. Still, it doesn't feel over unless they finish with Spiral lol.

Take down the net lolol. The autograph boards aren't going to fly over here lol.

I'm home. The drums on Marionette got way too hype. MINIQLO's Sky Blue had a lyric mistake, and I think Mochi got the song title wrong when introducing The Crack-Up. The audience standing there like statues for several songs after the second song, Tell Me~, made me laugh. But the show was dense and personally I thought it was really good. Mizu no Nai... being unexpectedly great, and feeling Nana's “work, work” vibe, really stuck with me. MINIQLO's Cried a little was pretty good too.

From heaven to a bit of hell. I foolishly had never been to Yokohama Arena lol. I was delighted when I got Arena D and looked it up, only to learn that at Yokohama Arena, the regular Arena seats are in the center! And that “Arena” means the lower stand seats lololol. So the seats are worse than Shachi, aren't they lol.

I finally attended my first GARNET concert. I don't usually use a penlight, so when it was time to use one, I panicked because I didn't know how to turn it on. Thanks to the woman next to me who taught me how to use it—you really helped me out. The playing and singing are still really high-level live.

I went to a concert for the first time today, but I dropped my glow stick on the way to my seat, so I was the only one who couldn't wave one and felt awkward during Holy Ground (´・ω・｀） I'm devastated...

Tonight's concert was the best!! The four of them are still more soothing than Mini-Crow. Furui-san was so cool while playing!!!

Glow sticks really are nice. The dreamlike blue light from everyone matched the image of Holy Ground perfectly. It was still shining like crazy when I got home, so I attached it to my dog's collar and took him for a walk.

Previous thread >996 They did Nagisa and Secret Days~

>23 The dog lolol.

Man, that was fun. If I had to ask for one thing, it would be to turn the drums down a little, but I'm looking forward to the DVD.

Was the setlist something like this? I can't remember it at all... ---------------- 1. Marionette Fantasia 2. tell me something 3. Crystal Gauge 4. Tatoeba 12-gatsu no Yoru ni 5. Mizu no Nai Hareta Umi e 6. Kono Fuyu no Shiro-sa ni 7. Sora ni Hanabi 8. strangers 9. 10. As the Dew ---Costume change--- (Mini-Crow) 11. Silent Night (English / Christmas song) 12. (English song) 13. Sky Blue 14. Cried a little 15. Over Blow (Mini-Crow ends here) 16. 17. 18. wish★ 19. U 20. Lose My Breath (Okamocchi segment) Holy Ground ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH (English / Christmas song) Over Drive Aozora Kanata Fall in Life ~Hallelujah~ ---encore--- Futari no Rocket Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de

Starting with Marionette Fantasia, Yurippe was literally a doll onstage.

>27 Doesn't this leave out The Crack-Up? I forgot where it went.

>27 If the Light segment was there, does that mean Yurippe's dance was in that outfit!? Ohhh...

>29 Thanks, you're right... I think it was before or after the Mochi segment. Ugh... my memory... how embarrassing... >30 Yurippe's dance was in the second outfit. I forget whether it was a skirt, though.

>30 The first-half outfit made Nana-sama look more bewitching, though...

>30 I think it's safe to look forward to the DVD. The dance was cute, anyway.

I forgot to mention, but the order after number 20 is unknown.

I looked carefully into Yokohama Arena, and it seems about six seats in the front row of Arena D will be blocked off. So it doesn't seem like a bad seat. And once again, there's a walkway behind me lol. It's the opposite direction from my seat at the Shachi concert this time. Maybe I'll finally be able to touch the members lol. Let the paper streamers fly over here lol.

>15 Tell us the title.

Was that weird dance the kind of dance that was popular ages ago? By “ages ago,” I mean when Ossan was little. Honestly, I'd rather she memorized the songs than practiced dancing. But she's cute, so I'll forgive her.

>32 Pants outfits inevitably make her less appealing. Let's just say Nagoya made up for it by giving us extra dancing because of the redo. I did want to hear Cried, though.

“U” was incredibly cool. I wish they'd do it every time.

>38 Wasn't the good thing about that outfit the bare arms? I prefer pants to a long skirt. Her legs look cool.

>23 The dog is hilarious lol.

Only four minutes left on my HDD lol. I need to quietly get the dubbing done this weekend.

>1 Otsumoto Hitoshi.

>27 I think it was the Mochi segment before Mini-Crow. Maybe between songs 6 and 7?

AZUKI-san must be free next year lol. Let's have her work the FM radio circuit.

Furui-san danced that weird dance a little too lol. Just a little, though.

Rainy Soul really is their standard song for getting ready for Mini-Crow, huh.

>40 Personally, I thought the logo on the chest in the second half was kind of iffy. Nana-sama in the promotional outfit was so cute it was practically cheating, though.

>27 Didn't they do nonsense?

Yurippe was amazing. Her weird dance was cute, and she was sexy and beautiful too. Yurippe and Mochi really are close. During the Mini-Crow segment they stared into each other's eyes so much it almost made me embarrassed, and during the usual fashion show they left Ossan and Nana standing around while they flirted in the back. The atmosphere was so good it almost made me jealous.

>44 Was it...? Sweat. >49 Sorry, I haven't heard nonsense much. The English song before wish★ might have been it, maybe...

>49 I listened to it on YouTube, and I think it may have been just the chorus before wish★.

Kurose-san's drumming seemed more restrained than before. Maybe they wrote that in the questionnaires...

It was more restrained than Osaka too.

>54 He seemed really prominent during the first half, though. Even in the first song. Maybe he talked with Ossan or someone during the break?

>53 Was the improvised chorus of Mayoi no Mori definitely before The Crack-up? If Mochi hadn't remembered it, we wouldn't have been able to hear it lol. Apparently they'll do the full song properly at the countdown concert.

>55-56 Was he really prominent during the first half after all... LOCK ON and last year or so were really pounding lol.

I think Kurose's drumming has gotten a lot better. Only Marionette was annoying lol.

>53 Ohhh! Thank you! >57 Yeah, I think it was before The Crack-up.

Mini-Crow's Maboroshi is good. Sky Blue isn't something you sing in 2010 lol. I heard Cried a little for the first time, and it's good.

You can sit comfortably and watch from the second floor, huh. It was really great. It felt like I was inside a DVD screen, just zoning out and watching. I didn't want to stand up, dance a little, or wave a glow stick, so it was perfect.

I think Over Blow got the most votes at each venue because it isn't on a CD, yo.

Yurippe in shorts was incredibly cute. Her steps and gestures were playful and adorable. Maybe Yurippe is actually cuter on songs arranged in a rock style?

Once the DVD comes out, I'll have to use it as masturbation material, yo.

I thought they'd be hot pants like Inaba-san wears, sorry. Also, Umbrella? I'd never heard it before, but it was really cool.

>63 They sang Cried a little at Ninnaji, so I think lots of people requested Over Blow because it was the one they'd never performed before.

>50 Anyone could see they looked like a couple, right? So jealous of Okamocchi.

Would they lose fans if Yurippe and Mochi actually got married?

Yurippe looked worn out on Dodesuka, yo.

>70 She barely appeared, right? Is that really all there was?

>69 The creepy otaku would leave, so they'd definitely lose fans. That's probably why they don't say anything.

Then I want them to announce it.

Yurippe's outfit this time really emphasized her bare legs. Right when she's getting close to her mid-thirties, too... But they were good legs. Her thighs were surprisingly thick and curvy, so I'm jealous of everyone who watched from the front.

>72 If it means fewer disgusting posts, I want them to announce a relationship or marriage.

You can definitely see that Yurippe is aging when you look at her up close. I want her to find happiness soon. Mochi would be fine as the partner.

Yurippe and Mochi's vibe is more like a comedy duo than a couple. They look like clubmates fooling around together. If they were actually dating while knowing they'd lose fans, I don't think they'd work together as a pair. This year felt like the year of pushing Mochi hard. It made me think he's recognized and loved within the group. (Though it always felt like they'd expected a lot from him.) He was like Gane's secret weapon when GIZA seemed to be at a dead end. He's often taken lightly among the four, but I think his presence grew a lot this year.

The member introductions were only for the backing band. Did they forget?

>78 Since the member introductions were backing-band-only in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo, I think that was how they planned it from the start.

Yurippe is coming on Utsugi Maika after the commercial.

>76 Personally, I'd want it to be Okamocchi. Compared with some total stranger, I'd be perfectly fine with kind Okamocchi.

Same as Yurippe, huh.

The souvenir is comingggg.

There was a post after the Nagoya show saying she looked like an auntie while drinking water, but yeah, that really was an auntie lol. Yurippe, please find happiness soon.

So that's why Yurippe was scary at the symphonic show.

Mayoi no Mori is on.

It's over.

What would make a good New Year's souvenir?

>80 Mochi, obviously. Anyway, have the emergency-exit lights been on at previous concerts too? I feel like they used to be off every time.

I got the reference wrong. >80 × >88 ○

They were off in Osaka, but on in Nagoya. There was an announcement saying they'd turn them off for the stage production, though.

>88 Something like an omikuji fortune slip.

I want to swim in a bath of chestnut kinton with Yurippe.

While Yurippe was singing, the floor staff warned the second-floor seats that standing was prohibited. What a weird concert.

Furui-san tagging along and Yurippe's grimy, misshapen Mochi—nice.

>77 Isn't “the guitarist and vocalist are a couple” basically a standard trope? And then they work together happily. I think I finally understand why she hasn't collapsed despite doing so many promotional events.

>96 Precisely because it's such a standard trope, I think it's a little too obvious. Also, Furui-san always seems busy and Nana-san is way too free-spirited, so I don't think they'd be able to handle such a packed promotional schedule.

>96 There may be groups where the guitarist and vocalist are a couple, but Yurippe and Mochi don't look like a couple to me.

This is basically pillow talk on a school trip. The virginity level feels pretty high lol.

>99 Calling that “getting together” or whatever... They probably haven't even spoken to someone of the opposite sex before.

Is Mochi licking Yurippe's anus or something... Gross.

Considering the physical distance between the pussy and the asshole, it's only natural.

>78 Only regulars and otaku come anyway, so there's no need to introduce the four members.

Even if they're not lovers, they're probably fuck buddies.

>84 She said she'd once tried singing into it by mistake, thinking it was a microphone, so maybe this was to prevent that. It looks cute when little kids do it, but with the extensions and dress, it was kind of... lol.

Please give Mochi a memory that surpasses Ninnaji.

What was the name of the instrument Yuri played in the middle of the Christmas song? The one that went karakarakarakarakarakara...

>95 Didn't it have red bean paste in it?

Conan lacks the awareness that there are two of him, after all.

I want to sit under the kotatsu with Mochi, eat mandarins, and talk about Yurippe's old age.

Umbrella was way too cool! I wish they'd release it as a cover.

>69 If it were Mochi and Yurippe, I'd be over the moon. If they each ended up with different people, I might leave the fandom...

>112 If Yurippe hooked up with Kaneda from Hannya or someone, I'd be able to quit being a fan with a clear conscience too.

You only appeared together once lol. How starved for romantic opportunities are you guys lolol?

Iwamoto Hatsue is harsh, huh.

Special Countdown Live 2010-2011 Five days to go. What are they going to sing?

Why isn't HOLY GROUND on the best-of album?

They talked about the countdown setlist on the daytime radio show. Looks like they decided it right after Osaka.

They said they're going to do something like a raffle for the souvenir.

The way they talked, it sounded like they'd rented the venue for the whole next day too.

>54 Really? I was listening from a seat beside the PA on the first floor, and the beginning was definitely restrained—or rather, the sound seemed bad. The cymbals weren't resolving at all; instead of a crash, they sounded like a single “jang.” The low end was thin too. The drum sound changed around the middle, starting with nonsense. From that song onward, I could feel the deep bass of the kick drum traveling through the floor and into my body. Who was it in the previous thread saying they could see Yurippe's panties? People far away must have seen something white under the red skirt, mistook it for panties, and gotten excited. It was a scarf lolol. Okamocchi was wearing checks too, almost like matching outfits, so they had a suspicious vibe. Nana-san had a red scarf and Furui-san a red shirt, so the red theme looked nice and unified. Yurippe's voice was really strong. At last year's regional shows she lowered the key and mumbled, so it wasn't good. I guess she really gave it her all because they were filming.

>117 All the album tracks and coupling tracks that are on the fifth-anniversary best-of were left off. I don't know why, though.

>118 Please tell us the countdown setlist. I couldn't listen to the radio.

>122 I see. Maybe they're trying to avoid overlap. Kind of considerate, kind of mean...

There is only one Conan-kun. And especially not two voice actors inside him...

>124 But if they were going to avoid overlap anyway, they could've used only singles from Hare Dokei onward.

>124 It's not mean. It's being treated as a second volume of the best-of series, after all.

Busy doing the boring job of cleaning up my HDD lol. Amazon still hasn't shipped it??? Even if the DVD arrives, I won't have time to watch it.

>127 Really? It's their 10th anniversary, and they even call it “HISTORY,” so couldn't they have released something comprehensive enough to say, “This is all you need”?

Merch I bought at the Shachi concert: penlight, poster, clear file, uchiwa (Yama-chan, Yuto, Dai-chan)

What was Yurippe's dance like? Was it a dance like the energy of Misuhori?

The arm-circling gesture she does on the I'm waiting 4 you DVD, and the hip-swaying dance you sometimes see in the GARNET time footage. I feel like she's been doing them since way back lol.

>131 Reference video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnIaPorh9_A

I want to pound mochi with Yurippe and Mochi.

>131 A pose like Gaki Deka's “death sentence,” or putting both hands on her hips and wiggling side to side.

>133 LOL. That's more or less right.

I got a huge shock this morning. Gane was featured on the Nagoya local show “Dodesuka,” and I got to see interviews with Yurippe and Mochi and the Over Drive PV. I laughed at the polished Yurippe and the youthfully styled Mochi. Apparently the album is full of songs that cheer you up. There's even an urban legend that their concerts have become a “love power spot.” Well, quitting as a fan at Locks was the right call after all. I still listen to the first album, though...

Are you the kind of person who can only like dark songs?

STAY is good too. What a shame.

How would you sum up this concert tour?

Rather than dark songs, I think Gane fans like pure, innocent songs. Even the brighter songs, like Natsu no Maboroshi and Koi suru koto shika..., feel different from the recent stuff. They have a clear, pleasant purity.

Continuing my list of the 15 best concerts I went to this year. ○10th place　7/30 BREAKERZ 3rd Anniversary Live “WISH” @ Budokan Like last year's second-anniversary concert, this was my first Budokan show in a year. It was a hugely exciting concert, just like you'd expect from a rock band. Downside: I assume they didn't run the AC because it was a rock concert, but it was way too hot indoors. After it ended, outside actually felt cooler. I got the ticket through a presale, but despite paying the fees, the seat was garbage. The skull in the set blocked the stage monitor.

○9th place　7/24 KAT-TUN LIVE TOUR 2010 @ Tokyo Dome It was my first time going to a KAT-TUN concert and Tokyo Dome. The penlights were beautiful, more than anything. The talking segments were fairly long, and it felt like Johnny's with a rock vibe lol. But I'd only recently become an otaku, so I didn't know most of the songs. Downside: I bought through the general sale because I hadn't done my homework. It taught me that I should've aimed for below-face-value tickets on one of those ticket sites. I went to Hey!Say!JUMP's SUMMARY that afternoon, so I was a little low on stamina. The seats weren't very good either, and the sound bounced around and the vibrations went thump-thump.

>141 Are you saying recent songs don't have that clear, pleasant feeling?

>143 This isn't your diary. Go die!!

It's harsh to compare this album with STAY.

The seventh album is full of great songs except for Stay and Rainy Soul. The eighth sounds like the songs they've made before, for better or worse, and I think it lacks individuality.

○8th place　2/26 B'z LIVE-GYM 2010 “Ain't No Magic” @ Kyocera Dome It was my first time entering Kyocera Dome for this concert. My seat was in the ceiling section, but the location was good and the B'z otaku were going wild. This time B'z also introduced the moving stage originally devised by Matsujun. They took care of the people in the back seats, and it was a really fun concert. No downsides.

Good evening. Personally, I prefer simpler staging, so this one felt a little surprising. There were moments in the middle where I wondered if they were a hard-rock band. More than anything, it was a shame they didn't do Yume Mita Ato de. I don't know how to put it, but it felt like it was a little less GARNET-like.

○7th place　9/19 NEWS LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! DOME PARTY 2010 @ Kyocera Dome After buying and listening to the album LIVE, I really wanted to attend a concert... I managed to get a last-row ceiling seat through one of those ticket sites! As expected from a Johnny's concert, the entire outer stage used LED panels. The balloon production in particular was incredible. I knew the choruses of the old singles, but later I ended up buying the Pacific album too. The finale, Koi no ABO, got everyone hugely hyped, and I became a full-on NEWS otaku. What surprised me was seeing NEWS fans everywhere in Osaka: the subway, stations, hotels...... The economic impact is incredible. Downside: the merch towels sold out.

>147 Am I unusual for having Stay and Rainy Soul as my favorite songs on the seventh album? lol The eighth was really easy to listen to all the way through. It's not bad, but I feel like I'll get tired of it once I've listened closely. In the past, there were songs where repeated listening revealed new things, and I enjoyed getting intoxicated by how my favorite songs kept changing.

>149 Personally, I'm already tired of Yume Mita. It feels lacking if they don't close with Spiral. Just my personal opinion.

○6th place　8/26, 12:00 show Hey!Say!JUMP, Johnny's Juniors SUMMARY 2010 @ Tokyo JCB Hall Only one FC application won, so I desperately got a general-sale ticket!! This time the seat was bad in the third balcony, but because another stage had ended, Yuma Nakayama-kun and Shintaro Morimoto-kun also took part. Yamada-kun's tightrope act had leveled up from July!! The final Junior introductions were good too. Downside: none.

>113 I'd definitely quit too lol.

◇5th place　12/25, 13:00 show Hey!Say!JUMP “Arigato” ~Sekai no Doko ni Ite mo~ WINTER CONCERT 2010–2011 @ Nippon Gaishi Hall The long-awaited JUMP concert since spring. The theme was “Space”—they have a theme every time, though. I had another great seat this time and could see both the members and the whole stage, and members even appeared in the upper stands, so the fan service was amazing!! I was glad to hear “Nounai☆Dance.” Downside: too few Juniors.

>149 Really? I thought it was good in a “Wait, is GARNET doing a rock-ish song?” kind of way. The audience couldn't quite get into it, though lol.

It's a GARNET concert, so I wanted them to focus on GARNET songs, yo. It was disappointing that songs by other singers made up about 20% of the whole show, yo. If they were going to shorten rare songs like U, I wish they'd shortened the non-GARNET songs instead, yo.

I want them to devote about six months to writing songs so they can chase Yurippe's dream of playing Budokan. Super Light, keep working hard in the meantime! lol

>157 Because Sky Blue was shortened, the lyrics became, “Wipe your meaningful— tears,” and I couldn't help bursting out laughing. Was I the only one? What even are “meaningful tears”?

◇4th place　4/3 Hey!Say!JUMP Hey!Say! 2010 TEN JUMP @ Yoyogi National Gymnasium It was my first time at Yoyogi too, and it was insanely crowded from around the Harajuku Station gates. I couldn't move forward... This time I had a god-tier Arena seat. Yamada-kun, Nakajima-kun, and Nakajima-kun (B.I.Shadow) all waved at me, so I was completely satisfied. It was goosebumps-level the moment it started. After the show, Harajuku Station was packed with people leaving the concert, Takeshita Street crowds, and cherry-blossom viewers, and it nearly turned into a domino collapse. Just days earlier, people had been injured in a domino collapse on Takeshita Street too. Downside: unexpected rain after it ended.

◎3rd place　5/15 Hey!Say!JUMP Hey!Say! 2010 TEN JUMP @ Kyocera Dome After Yoyogi in April, I went again. It was JUMP's first Kyocera Dome show. There were tons of young JUMP fans around the venue even before the show started. The song order and staging were scaled up from the arena shows!! This show was released on DVD, though. The only downside was that despite having an FC ticket, I somehow got a front-row seat in the ceiling section. I had a nice view looking down at the Arena seats. Since it was Osaka, Kansai Johnny's Juniors came to support them too. There were 50 Johnny's people alone. No matter how many times I watch the DVD, the excitement comes back. Downside: the limited-edition clear files sold out.

>147 I think Stay and Rainy Soul are especially popular songs from the seventh album, but everyone has different tastes.

◎2nd place　7/24 Hey!Say!JUMP, Johnny's Jr. SUMMARY 2010 @ Tokyo JCB Hall I arrived in Tokyo the day before, but I had no idea Tokyo could be this hot. I had a good seat in the first balcony. The moment it began, the level of Johnny's staging gave me goosebumps. It was a Johnny's circus with 100 JUMP and Johnny's Junior members taking part: dogs, flying trapezes, fountains, and all kinds of incredible staging. This production had 56 performances in total and comes out on DVD January 12 next year. I'm looking forward to it.

>147 For me, the albums I can call masterpieces only go up through the fifth... The eighth feels a little lacking in depth. >157 Personally, I was pretty satisfied with that.

☆1st place　11/19 Arashi ARASHI LIVE TOUR “Scene” ~Kimi to Boku no Miteiru Fuukei~ @ Tokyo Dome My first Arashi concert. I cried when I won the platinum ticket. My seat was beside a pole, but I could see the members much closer than expected, and the staging was flawless. The audience was incredibly diverse, and I really felt that they were a national idol group. Aiba-kun's solo outfit especially stood out to me. Countless penlights glowing green. I don't think there are any concerts more fun than this. I'm already worried about whether I'll win tickets next year.

Some people are drawn to GARNET's songs, while others are drawn to the GARNET members themselves. It's complicated...

My ninth GARNET CROW concert. I nearly cried when I won a single-digit row on the first floor. My seat was toward the right edge, but I could see the members much closer than expected, and the staging was flawless. The audience was incredibly diverse, and I really felt that they were a creative group with a huge musical toolbox and a broad field of activity. Nakamura-san's shorts outfit especially stood out to me. Countless penlights glowing blue for Holy Ground. I don't think there are any concerts more fun than this. I'm already worried about whether I'll get such a good seat next year.

I was drawn to both the songs and the members. For example, even if the GARNET members were active in other genres, I definitely wouldn't have been drawn to them. I don't think I would've been drawn in without Nana-san's lyrics and Yurippe's music either.

>167 lol.

Good evening. Sorry to keep popping up. As expected, everyone feels things differently. I'm not trying to deny that, and there were lots of good things about this show too. As for Spiral, I was half disappointed and half relieved. It had become established as the closing song in recent years, and I liked it too. But I can't deny that it had started to feel a little stale. (Maybe they were deliberately trying to avoid letting it become too fixed...?)

I want them to make a song with a little less happiness in it. There hasn't been anything like that lately.

Strangers seems to be popular with the general public, but I prefer The Crack-up.

Yuri seems to be popular with the general public, but I prefer Nana.

I want them to make an erotic song. There hasn't been anything like that lately.

>173 On mixi, the Nana fan community has more members than the Yuri one. It feels like Nana >>> Yuri >>>>>> Mochi > Furui.

>175 People from outside always say the keyboard player is cute. She really was a beautiful person, like someone out of a manga.

What do you expect from Mochi with total sales of 2,000 copies? lol He'd lose to some guy selling them by hand on the street.

Please do it at the merch booth! Yurippe Full k... half-assed Okamocchi Please don't wave~ God Hand And as expected, fickle Nana-sama. MINIQLO-3296 MINIQLO-4649 Hehe.

>177 Mmm... 2,000 copies... Reality is a sad thing.

>178 The talking made it clear they all get along, which was nice. AZUKI-san writing the lyrics smoothly from beginning to end in one go was amazing. That person really is a little different.

What do you think of “Punk Miss Eye”? It is an original song, but the audience didn't seem able to get into it. I've been enjoying them since the STAY tour, but do they need to be more Gane-like? Honestly, I'd like to sit and listen intently to every song, but am I doing clapping and windshield-wiper motions just to go along with everyone else?

I forget which song it was, but there was a really fun part where Yuri-san, Okamocchi, and Furui-san all had synchronized steps.

>159 That wasn't because it was shortened; it was just a lyric mistake. If you get angry every time the first- and second-verse lyrics get mixed up, you can't be a Yurippe fan.

But when you think of New Year's, it's mochi season.

So, is it crazy to start planning a trip to the Dojima show from Tokyo now? @Tokyo The hotel situation, you know... I don't really know the area, so cheap ones seem scary, but the ones that aren't scary are expensive lol. I've been worrying because I can't stop thinking about Nana-san since the day before yesterday. If Mochi would bring me to Astro, there'd be no problem.

Yuri's lyric mistakes happen every day, so you can't let them bother you.

Were the mistakes in the fourth album's lyric booklet intentional?

Not just Yurippe—it's impossible to sing more than 20 songs accurately live. Even singers who write their own lyrics mess them up normally.

>188 Not compromising there is what makes someone a professional.

>189 Isn't that contradictory? lol

I don't get mad over every little lyric mistake, but Nana-san did the work, after all, and it's one of Gane's charms. I do want them to treat the lyrics carefully when they sing them.

>176 On some board's beautiful-artist ranking, Nana-san was placed in the special-A group, on the same level as Izumi Sakai. Nakamura-san was two ranks lower at B+, in the same group as BoA and YUI. That's more or less how outsiders rate them.

>183 No, she sang “meaningful tears” at every venue, so I think it was the shortened version. Surely she couldn't have made the same mistake at every show...

I thought Yurippe and Mochi were the real deal. And the two of them are always so sweet in the Mini-Crow photos. Especially Mochi.

>185 What's scary?

>188　Speaking as a ZARD otaku, Yurippe is excellent. 　　　Izumin messes up even when the lyrics are displayed on a monitor... (laughs)

>195 That area called Fukushima, I mean. I'm wondering what the safety situation is like...

There's really a country bumpkin living in Tokyo who worries about safety lol.

>197 That area is a business district, so it's not scary at all. There are lots of business hotels too.

AZUKI200

A best-of concert sounds tough, since they have to memorize and perform lyrics they wrote ages ago all at once.

>201 They do old songs every time, so maybe it's not that bad. They probably cherish each song individually. They perform their debut song pretty often too.

>172 I don't know what the standard is, but I agree. The lead songs have already appeared on other albums, like Over Drive, the Conan theme, so this is a tasteful song in an album that otherwise lacks freshness. I like the black-mesh shoes at the beginning of the concert. >173 I like the pauses where she does that natural-airhead thing during the MC. >196 Izumin was just nervous. She wasn't looking at the monitor. As you know, nobody else has that level of obsessive devotion to the songs she records on CD. >201 I want a best-of album decided by a fan vote soon. >121 They have the original audio from the line, so they'll remix it for the DVD and nobody will notice. Well, at that level, fellow professionals would hear it immediately. I felt like kicking the PA seat during the break.

I'm a hidden Gane fan since Eternia, and this was my first concert. Anyway, I was really glad I'd kept following this band. The second floor was plenty. It was a shame they didn't do flying, though...

If they do a fan-voted best-of, I want them to leave out all the singles from the start.

Yurippe is coming on Music Lovers after the commercial.

Mochi gets scolded over how to sort the trash lol.

We don't need that kind of domestic realism, yo. Buy him a digital TV.

She says she wants to do a Hinamatsuri concert lol. What on earth is she aiming for? lol

>207 Kiyopi had scolded him before too: “Separate the plastic-bottle caps and labels!” lol

Is there going to be a dancing segment? I want to attend empty-handed.

Apparently we're going to split into red and white teams.

>207 Who scolded him?

What kind of people take home the silver tape and heart cards? Is there a message somewhere saying, “Please feel free to take these home”? Wouldn't that count as theft?

I used JR Fukushima Station for the Osaka concert, and I was curious about the cheap massage shop along the way. Has anyone gone in for a massage? I was also curious about the ramen shop with the long line, on the left just a short walk from the station.

>207 It was a story from the Caravan Captain's dressing room.

>217 If they didn't want people taking it, they wouldn't scatter it around lol.

>217 >214 Sorry, wrong reference orz.

After the show, the staff gather the hearts from the stage and hand them out to fans anyway.

I think they should've given the choir glow sticks during Holy Ground. Then the movements across the venue would sync up perfectly left and right, and the light would look beautiful.

>220 The choir? The Black singers? No good. When they wave side to side, everyone faces different directions, so they don't match the audience and it takes time for them to sync up. The audience is following the direction Yurippe moves.

>221 Exactly. They were waving in whatever direction they wanted, which made me laugh. They noticed halfway through and started matching us, but that happened at the final Tokyo show.

Then let's give Yuri a glow stick.

I want to give Yurippe a glowing vibrator with a little bunny on it.

>219 I asked for one of the hearts the staff had picked up, but they told me no. And get this—the temp staffer put the heart in their pocket.

So there are ten barriers, and they guide about 250 people between each one, huh.

I want to take home Yurippe's discarded panties.

AZUKI-san was cool when she declared that she doesn't wash her panties.

The capsule-toy secret prize should've been Yurippe's discarded panties, not an autograph.

She never said that. Besides, that's gross.

AZUKI-san puts on fresh panties every time the occasion calls for it, so they're not dirty.

I don't understand what you mean by “fresh.” Normally, “fresh panties” means ones you've just taken off.

There's no way AZUKI-san wears panties fresh off someone else's body. Stop thinking with your pervert brain.

Yurippe has a stronger sense of cleanliness than Azuki, surely. The difference between a non-virgin and a virgin is like night and day.

I want to count the wrinkles at the corners of Yurippe's eyes until morning.

If anything, I get the impression Yurippe would buy a pink vibrator herself at Don Quijote.

>234 Too bad! Her folds are all stretched out from Kurose's and Okamocchi's junk. >235 Are there really that many? lololol.

>232 How do you know that?

I want to smell Yuri-san's panties.

It's a vicious spirala where perverts attract perverts lol.

>1-240 Yuri's panties probably smell incredibly sour.

If anyone remembers the Tokyo setlist, please tell me.

>247 Whether it becomes Over Drive or tell me something, it's truly a parallel universe.

The FC must be a treasure trove of creepy otaku.

The diary update is here.

I've been listening to parallel universe, and the vocals are easier to make out now.

I think Yuri-san is an angel who descended to earth.

>255 1. The Crack-up 2. Aozora Kanata 3. Mayoi no Mori

A taxi carrying two popular Johnny's Jr. as passengers went on the run lolol. Taxi driver: “I wanted money.” lol What a terrible taxi driver lol.

For me, it's Yurippe with the furrowed brow in the DVD. That lack of composure is great △

AZUKI-san seems to be free in January. I wonder what she'll do. Will she only be a guest at Okamocchi's live show?

The victims were Kis-My-Ft2's Tamamori-kun (20) and a 19-year-old man. Their bags and a wallet containing 170,000 yen were stolen. It happened while they were fleeing from a stalker lol. The taxi driver was more dangerous than the stalker lol.

Do they perform Hare Dokei live? Maybe I just haven't caught it at the concerts I've attended.

At this Tokyo International Forum show, the first floor was full, but how was the second floor?

Aozora Kanata is going to end up like Naked Story. It'll lose its popularity.

I think strangers is a god-tier song.

>268 I think they've only sung it at premium shows among the bigger concerts. I vaguely remember them doing it at some GIZA group show or something, but my memory is fuzzy. It's an upbeat song, but it doesn't seem to be the members' favorite.

>263 That is 100% the same as my first impression. Lately the slow-burn songs have been coming to the fore, though. >266 Yurippe → Bakery Factory Nana → Harajuku Please make it happen.

Nana really does look like Miyuki Torii.

>270 Naked Story is popular, isn't it? With the second album tracks, aside from Holy Ground, I feel people's tastes differ quite a lot.

>274 Her face isn't that scary lol.

I think Nana-sama looks like Manami Honjo. In terms of her overall vibe...

1. Mayoi no Mori 2. The Clack-up 3. Sora ni Hanabi, Over Drive

Who are next year's volleyball-debut group?

If sales of Super Light's live tickets continue to struggle, will they bring in Yurippe as a guest? At the old Bakery Factory live, Mochi Night, having a member as a guest was the usual thing.

So when are we getting a 3D Blu-ray?

>280 It sounds like Mochi alone can't even fill a 200- or 400-person venue. I was shocked when Nana said during the MC, “It's empty” (Mochi was shocked too lol). She meant, “My schedule is empty (so I can be a guest in January),” though lol.

>280 True. B'z appeared the first time, and ZARD the second time, after all. Though that was quite a while ago. >277 Agreed. When I first saw Gane, I thought she was Manami Honjo.

KAT-TUN's car commercial is good lol. The previous song was kind of meh, but I like this one.

>282 They're both empty, huh. AZUKI-san only writes lyrics for GARNET these days, so she must be bored out of her mind.

The concert squad captain has arrived. He says his sense of rhythm has improved lol. What were the last ten years, then...

I think Nana looks like Hekiru Shiina.

Nana also looks like Nene Otsuka. With short hair she looks like a guy, like Yamapi or something.

>280 Maybe Yurippe will only appear at Bakery Factory, with no guest at Harajuku? Nana says her schedule is free, but there's no way she'll show up lol. One way or another, Ossan and Nana would be weak guests. We really need Yurippe.

May I dream of Yurippe's anus? Good night...

Azuki = Miyuki Torii.

>255 1. strangers 2. Over Drive 3. Mayoi no Mori

>255 1. The Crack-up 2. Mayoi no Mori 3. Kyou to Ashita to

>289 I'm going for Nana, so that's fine with me!

Ossan will come to Tokyo, surely. Osaka is just Yurippe. It's basically like going to work for her.

Where are next year's concert dates already?

So Ikuo Fujiwara came. I wonder if the author of MÄR Heaven isn't coming anymore. Yurippe's rock songs were pretty good too, though I couldn't understand the lyrics at all.

I want to make an innocent sex tape with Yurippe.

>256-257 Thanks. I didn't notice it was written in >53 (sweat).

Thinking about Yuri-san makes my chest ache.

I want Yurippe to make me drink coffee made of sand.

I want to connect Yurippe's today to her tomorrow.

Even in the Harmonic DVD, she looks like an auntie from behind.

Don't call her an auntie.

Her waist kind of looks like Megumi Yasuda's.

She was probably constipated.

She looks kind of pregnant.

I want to be one of Yurippe's front teeth.

How many months along is she?

Silica gel is Yurippe's greatest enemy.

The “Uwaaaah” at the beginning of Sora ni Hanabi sounds like Crayon Shin-chan's voice, right?

The Kasukabe Defense Force?

Although maybe it's just a stuffy nose.

Are the banks open today?

Huh? Depends on the bank, but isn't today usually the last business day of the year?

The kindness of people's responses to off-topic posts in the GARNET thread is on Furui-san's level.

Thanks to Yurippe, it looks like I'll have a next year.

Come to think of it, if I go to Okamocchi's live, I might get to see that dance of Yurippe's up close. Should I go? lol But a dance performed for the person you love... I don't even know what to say.

>297 The rock songs were good too. The audience couldn't quite get into them, but they were really cool.

Umbrella and the hymn were cool too, and the arrangements were great. It was a shame you could tell from the back that the audience wasn't getting into it. I wonder if Yurippe felt lonely singing them.

>289 Sure, Nana-sama probably couldn't do anything, but she seems to have the biggest drawing power, so just standing there would be enough lol.

This is really late, but did they hand out a paper with a QR code for the unreleased song at the Nagoya concert? Mine didn't have one...

Should I go to the countdown concert? I've never been to a Gane concert—what are they like?

>321 Yurippe has the biggest drawing power lol.

I want to make Yurippe dance to “Mr.”

I want to bite into Yuri-san's chubby upper arms from the Yume Mita Ato de era.

>325 I want to see the butt-wiggling dance lol.

>324 Apparently the Nana-sama fan community has more members, so I thought the number of fans would translate directly into drawing power.

A guest just standing there would be tough for them too. So you can probably guess who would actually come. But we're free to dream.

I'm only interested in Gane songs, but if Nana-sama appeared, I might go to a Mochi concert too. Personally, I'd be fine with her just standing there, but normally she'd play the keyboard, right?

In that case, the band lineup before AZUKI-san even appears would be pretty weird too.

>331 Being self-centered is why they're called otaku.

What do you mean?

I want to work myself to death for the rest of my life at the yakisoba stand Yurippe runs.

The otaku of this band really watch down to the tiniest details.

I absolutely love Mezameta Asa ga Saikou.

Yurippe meant to draw a rabbit on her New Year's card but accidentally made it a dog. I want to comfort that dog.

>332 It means they can't think about the artist's feelings.

Who's better on guitar, Yoshio Nomura or Mochi?

Don't make a mess, scum.

The album only stayed in the Top 100 for two weeks. Total sales are 20,000, down 10,000 from the previous album, and in the end it sold less than Aiuchi's latest release. Is Gane the next one to get fired?

10 → 61 → out of the Top 100. Even idols like Johnny's or AKB don't drop that sharply. Was Gane an idol pretending to be an artist?

The comment appearances are so pointless. They've already missed their moment.

I think Being should just focus on B'z. There's no point force-pushing Kuraki either. Apparently they're going to introduce another pointless newcomer with a Conan tie-in, even though they have no intention of selling them lol.

You can't miss the introduction.

The dragon is hard to draw, so it's better to write it out in letters.

This album was pretty thin. They didn't put out several singles or include any songs they'd been letting mature. Yurippe proudly said, “Most of these songs were made this year,” but honestly, hearing that only made me nervous.

GIZA and Northern have separate finances, and they're actually on bad terms, you know. Even when Kuraki performs in Osaka, nobody from GIZA goes to see her.

The countdown concert souvenir is probably some old mochi with azuki beans in it.

That's just a country bumpkin's jealousy.

You can see Yurippe's shoelaces perfectly, at least.

It's unusual for Yurippe to keep wearing the same ring for so long. It feels more real than the ring on her left ring finger. Mochi's watch looks suspicious too.

Seriously?

>352 Anyone wears a watch lol. Yurippe has casually worn rings on her left ring finger since way back, hasn't she?

She also wore an open-heart necklace on GT that she said she got from “someone.” She said, “It makes you happy when someone gives you a gift, right?”

If Yurippe found out everyone was talking about her ring, she'd probably be creeped out.

I hope the yakisoba stand Yurippe runs doesn't get crushed by an earthquake.

If anything, I want Yurippe to be creeped out by me.

Then I want to lick Yurippe's pussy and comfort her.

Yurippe's holy water has arrived━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━( ﾟ∀)━( 　ﾟ)━(　　)━(　　)━(ﾟ 　)━(∀ﾟ )━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!!!

Yurippe doesn't poop or pee.

No one loves Yurippe's anus more than I do.

For the record, they've decided to continue next year too. “We intend to devote ourselves to production and other activities in 2011 as well, so please continue to support GARNET CROW and this fan club.”

Vermilion, GIZA, and B-Gram get along, after all. Come to think of it, KANNOJI (Nagato's) name disappeared from this album.

They might as well have cut two or three songs from this album and treated it as a mini-album.

KANNOJI is written in huge letters under the Awajishima Film Office, though. Yurippe is probably rehearsing with Mochi right now.

A blazing backstage room sounds way too fun.

It's cute how her tone of voice is obviously different when she talks to Furui-san versus Mochi.

I have a feeling the ninth album is coming soon.

>368 Which one gets the lower voice?

When Yurippe tosses a topic to Mochi, her voice gets lower. I wonder if that's her natural voice.

I really want them to set aside some relaxed time for production. But I'd be happy if there were at least one fan event or special concert. As long as management is struggling, they'll probably be made to work themselves to death to collect money.

>372 GARNET CROW Special Countdown Live 2000–2010 　December 31 (Thu) Osaka / NHK Osaka Hall According to this, they've been doing countdown concerts since 2000 lolol.

>374 So they've been doing one every day since New Year's Eve 2000 lol.

>373 Agreed. But with Aiuchi and Saegusa both gone, it may be impossible given GIZA's current income. It's hard to maintain a certain level of quality under these circumstances. Still, since I don't listen to anything except GARNET, I'd also have a problem if the release pace slowed down lol.

>374 If I go to the countdown shows, it'll be ten times. But I've only been to the Best tour once... I'm grateful that so many are on weekends. On the Nagoya radio show, Yurippe said, “Early next year, SUPER LIGHT will pull us along and GARNET will hibernate.” (She followed up by saying she meant they'd be working on production.) She also said, “We'll start GARNET activities when it gets warmer,” so maybe it will be a production-focused year. Hopefully they'll take a good break and make more good songs.

Yurippe probably wants to appear on Kouhaku. She must feel awkward at family gatherings, being old enough to be doing a low-profile band.

I doubt it. She must be the most successful person among her relatives. They probably all ask her to get an autograph from Auntie Yuri.

Even though her waist is getting wider.

I've only been to five.

Yuri Auntie must be in trouble because her nephew keeps asking her to bring back a Conan autograph.

Her younger sister isn't married yet either.

The DVD from Amazon arrived lol.

Yurippe has a younger sister? Was it her who made the sand coffee?

It was muddy-water coffee, not sand coffee.

I want to marry Yuri-san.

I wonder if Mochi will cry at Yurippe's wedding reception.

Muddy-water coffee? Where did they say that?

>376 You should learn the phrase “top earner.” You really had “amount earned” memorized literally, didn't you? lol

Probably on the Fukuoka radio show.

The countdown is all standing-room, but numbers are already up to 2200. Will you be able to see anything?

You'll get to see the backs of 2,000 people's heads lol.

DISC1 is over lol. What an intense live show lolol. I like Nakamaru-kun.

>391 Ugh lol. I made such an embarrassing mistake. Sorry.

If you go in a wheelchair, you can probably secure a front-row spot. Not that it matters to me with a number in the 100s.

>397 What a coincidence—I have a number in the 100s too.

Nana-san at Ninnaji is divine.

AZUKI400

I want to ride the Snoopy roller coaster with Yurippe and get that heart-fluttering feeling.

DISC2 has entered the encore lolol.

>401 Then I want her to call me a pervert and smack me on the head. Yurippe holds back even when she's playing the straight man, since she worries about the other person.

livescope 2007 Yurippe's drool at the opening lol.

But even if you go in a wheelchair and secure a front-row seat, it'd be a problem if it turned into a “Clara stood up” situation.

I love Gane-Crow too!! Hey!! It's My Life http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgb1mg_yuiyyit-s-my-lifey_music#from=embed A genius has appeared!!! Watch out, this is a person of interest!!!

They got the event area wrong, but at least it didn't sell for one yen.

>403 Would that hardcore sadist really be considerate like that? She's the type who knows exactly what she's doing and teases people on purpose lol.

Oh no, a ticket in the 500s just sold for 11 yen.

I need to start getting ready for my trip to the capital. I have to put five penlights and an uchiwa in my bag lol.

>411 Yurippe looks happy.

It's better when the focus is soft, because it leaves more room for the viewer's imagination. Just like AZUKI-san's poetry.

It's going to snow the day after tomorrow. That's very GARNET-like, so nice.

They were on the radio just now. Yurippe said she's going to have a girls' get-together after New Year's.

I'm excited for the countdown concert!! It'd be nice if Arashi came too, but they might be too busy lol. I get to see KAT-TUN, NEWS, and the Hey!Say!BEST guys lol. On the 2nd, I'm going to the JUMP concert at Yokohama Arena!! I never imagined I'd have such a fulfilling New Year's holiday.

>412 The manager really is cute. Though Yurippe apparently says her feet stink.

>412 Ah, that's the manager with the smelly feet lol.

(■ω■)

>404 What do you mean?

A live broadcast from Takoyaki Dome too lol. Those attending Gane's countdown concert will run into Kanjani fans again this year lol. On trains, in hotels, at restaurants.

There are a lot of aunties, huh.

The JCB Hall show after the typhoon was so much fun. The huge cold wave at the countdown concert should be a blast too.

Kanjani fans are mostly housewives lol. On New Year's Eve I'll watch NYC's appearance at the hotel, then head to the Big Egg. Is it AKB48 vs. NYC? lolol. If it's a numbers game, both could put 100 people onstage.

Compared with the kiritanpo person, the cold waves in Teito and Takoyaki are nothing but exaggeration.

On a cold night, I want Yurippe to force me to chug Kagetora and drink myself unconscious.

I wonder if there'll be countdown concert merch.

I want to crawl inside Yurippe's anus and escape the cold wave.

Funny~

The countdown concert merch has been announced on the official site.

What are the member lucky bags like?

There won't be merch sales at the countdown concert. I don't want to wait for hours outside in the cold anyway.

Ah, I figured it out myself. Even though it's only 300 yen, I'm worried the memo pad will be a slapdash job.

You don't hear the Mochi-is-a-rain-bringer joke much anymore~

Yurippe and Mochi are officially approved by both the members and staff, right? With a normal band, things would get awkward, but with Gane it doesn't seem like that would happen at all. They even let a free spirit like Nana do whatever she wants lol. Normally that would be impossible.

>436 Maybe we'll hear the snow-bringer joke on the day of the countdown.

>419-420 Yurippe really is a hardcore sadist, huh. She says things like that on the radio, after all.

>438 It's unusually forecast to snow in Osaka.

>439 Fundamentally, she lacks basic kindness. That self-centered attitude of thinking it's fine to use other people as long as it's entertaining on public airwaves. Those aren't remarks made with the other person's feelings in mind. And to a woman, no less. Even close friends need to show some manners.

What a horrible woman. Calling a woman's feet stinky, when you're having an affair yourself.

An affair lol. 麻○-san, working hard in the middle of the night lol.

At the last concert, in the "wo wo wo wo wo wo, yeahhh, yeah, yeah-y, yeahhh, yeahhh" part of wish★, she wasn't singing the highest notes, was she? Her voice got a little quieter around there, so I figured it was a recording.

>437 Yurippe and Nana seem a little awkward with each other. The way Yurippe throws things to her during MCs feels slightly different from before. Like Yurippe is being kind of reserved, or something. Yurippe and Mochi aren't getting any younger, so if they're dating, they should get married and have kids soon. Then we'd have a real Mini-Crow being born lol.

>445 It's not "awkward" so much as them being considerate of each other.

Yurippe and Mochi obviously each have someone else. Just how desperate for the opposite sex are you people? lol

They're definitely dating. You can feel the love in their conversations.

Nakamura Yuri has had a boyfriend for 10 years, so no need to worry. They've been having an affair for 10 years.

It's the end of the year, and the pathetic people are starting to gather. Johnny's topic on a regular schedule ↓ Heavy breathing over Yurippe, Nana, and the others ↓ People bonding over how this song is blah blah blah ↓ Affair blah blah blah ↓ The subtitle/no-subtitle debate ← coming up any minute now Does becoming a fan of something really turn people into such simpletons? I've been cracking up at this same pattern the whole time.

>449 There's absolutely no way she has a boyfriend of 10 years. Unfortunately, that's the one thing I'm sure about.

Nana's sullen, insolent-looking face the entire time at the concert really killed the mood. It felt like the kind of concert where she didn't care about the fans who'd paid good money to come see them, and just wanted to get through the schedule. I even heard from fans who felt unsatisfied. Even as a hardcore fan, it made me sad to see her looking so bored during the concert.

>452 Which concert? Tokyo?

Was she really that insolent? She's always like that. What bothered me much more was how much time they spent on Mini-Crow, and how much the vocalist puts into Mini-Crow lol. Even though they're a four-person band, just two people performed four or five songs, and on top of that, the CD was released by just the two of them. It wouldn't be strange to think, "Are we just here to make you two look good?!" I wonder how much of this Mini-Crow project Furui-san and Nana-san actually signed off on. I'm not trying to defend Nana-san or anything, and of course, the fact that opinions like that are coming up does make you wonder whether it's appropriate for professionals. But Nana-san probably has various thoughts of her own too, right?

Furui-san is married, the two Mini-Crow members are dating, and Azuki-san just has no place in GARNET CROW.

>454 The ones who are definitely benefiting from the reduced workload are Nana-san and the old guy. The agency benefits too, since they can cheaply make a ton of merch that sells well. Yurippe also enjoys being able to sing in something close to an a cappella setup, and it gives her throat a rest. The only one whose workload increased and is having a hard time is Mochi, who makes the arrangements. But it has been a good way to show off his abilities, so it worked out in the end. Though I think Mini-Crow will disappear eventually anyway.

Morning, Yurippe!

>454 Nana-sama and the old guy are both almost 40, so they must be grateful to get a break in the middle of the concert lol.

I want to eat sand takoyaki from Yurippe's stall.

It was mud takoyaki.

At Yurippe's sandbox stall, I want to remake the sand okonomiyaki nice and pretty for her.

Watch out for dog poop.

Yurippe's stall is super popular, yo.

>454 Everything Yurippe does is just "work." It'd be suspicious if they were meeting privately one-on-one, but if they were really dating, they'd normally meet in secret.

I want to become the cat poop Yurippe gripped tightly in her hand.

The queen of the sandbox is kind even to cat poop.

I want to polish Yurippe's merch-selling spirit even more. Preferably with a free-shipping sort of vibe.

She was running a stall and selling stuff since she was a kid lol. I'm dying.

May Yurippe's drawing skills improve, even if only little by little.

>450 And then there are the elementary-school kids who start saying Yurippe and Mochi are doing it.

>464 You want to believe that, don't you~

I want to pound mochi with Yurippe.

Good night, Yurippe~

Since the new album came out, it feels like people are reevaluating how good 7th was. Given the mood of the songs, this release might have worked better around summer.

Morning, Azuki-san~

I'd do anything for Yuri-san.

>476 Then please sell the merch until it's all gone.

Mochi and Yurippe's lips stretch on forever.

I'm wondering what tomorrow's weather will be like. Will the shinkansen from Tokyo arrive on schedule? It's scheduled to arrive at 21:30, but...

I want Yurippe to cover an AKB song.

I want to be in charge of Yurippe's year-end cleaning.

Thank you very much for purchasing Johnny's CDs and DVDs this year as well. Thanks to you, total sales are up from last year. We hope you'll continue to support Johnny's next year.

ID:1wW231Ms0 Antis pretending to be otaku, go die.

It's not a fiscal year.

People who get irritated at the end of the year seem to be calcium-deficient all year round. Drink lots of milk next year. Maybe it'll cure your shortness too.

Tomorrow is standing-room only. I wonder if there are lockers at the venue.

These goods are blatantly another GIZA money-making scheme. Poor Yurippe, having to advertise the merch.

The countdown concert merch is just a muffler towel lol. Apparently they used to have uchiwa fans too. I think there was a sales booth inside the dome as well.

You're criticizing a corporation for trying to make money? lol Just how much of a communist brain do you have? lol Enjoy the freedom to choose for yourself.

People who criticize GIZA should fight for Yurippe's liberation, if you ask me.

>486 There are no lockers at Dojima River Forum lol.

Liberation? lol

>489 The result of this money-making is the poorly reviewed album this time. It's literally killing the artist.

If they're going to sell merch like this just to make money, they might as well release the STAY DVD, the 2009-2010 countdown DVD, and the symphonic DVD as soon as possible. What a company with no progress.

An idea at a grade-school level lol. Multiple affiliated companies are involved in making the products, so things don't move forward overnight.

The merch can't really be helped. Concerts don't make much profit unless they sell that stuff. That's a separate issue from the DVDs.

If you looked at the IR reports from companies like Avex, you'd understand how large a share of their profits comes from merch sales. Students don't get it because they only think about themselves. Sometimes being able to make money is what lets something continue to exist. Also, River Forum has no lockers, but they'll put up partition fences inside the venue, so I think you'll have to bring a folding hanger and hang your stuff on it. Or just leave it on the floor.

With CD sales falling that much, how can you still call it money-making?

They made the CDs cheaply from recycled materials without spending much, so they probably won't lose money.

Yeah, yeah, working adults are so great.

>500 There's no shame in being ignorant, kid.

Leaving it on the floor is dangerous lol. It's standing-room only, so some otaku will stomp it flat. Also, I'm leaving for Teito in a few hours, but I might be delayed by the snow lol.

>452 I've kind of felt it too since around last year. I know there could be all sorts of reasons, but Nana-san really disappointed me at the Forum the other day when they held hands at the end. It left a bad taste in my mouth, like, line up properly. Maybe she's come to hate Yurippe...

>501 No, I'm actually a working adult.

"Specail Goods" lol.

>502 An overnight bus sounds rough for an old lady. Take care of yourself.

I've been going to Teito every two months lately lol. Traveling for concerts is a Johnny's otaku's destiny lol. 12/31 Big Egg 1/02 Yokohama Ant I'll post a report on the 3rd, sometime after noon. Please look forward to it.

>507 Granny, where do you live?

>422 I mean exactly what I said. You can see the drool running down in the first enlarged image. Order it. Right now.

>503 Huh, she didn't line up? Give us the details.

I can't help feeling there's some subtle distance between them. It seems proportional to the way the distance between Mochi and Yurippe has gradually shrunk since around Ninnaji. Maybe I'm just imagining things, but relationships between women are especially difficult because jealousy swirls around.

No way you can call her a granny ◎ kid.

>503 At least give us a little more detail.

It's probably not just your imagination. Even during the concert, Azuki-san and Yurippe barely made eye contact.

>511 What can an outsider know just from looking at the surface—them during a concert? lol Yurippe said on the radio not long ago that she hung out with Nana off-duty. There's no way they're on bad terms.

>515 Of course I can't know everything. I'm only saying that's how it felt from the way she tossed things to people during the concert MC. Their relationship may not have changed at all in reality. It just felt strangely distant. Especially like Yurippe was being unusually careful whenever she addressed Nana-san. There were posts earlier saying Nana looked insolent, so maybe Yurippe was just being considerate of her after all. I can't really say.

If it snows tomorrow, I'll have to wear boots or I'll slip.

>513 She was standing way behind Yurippe, and the orchestra ladies had to line up next to Nana, so they lined up with slightly troubled looks on their faces. In the end it felt like they formed two rows. Yurippe had no choice but to give Nana's hand a firm tug and pull her to the front. Even when they went to greet people at the side of the stage, she just trailed along at the very back, dragging her feet. It was disappointing... It may just be my imagination, but that's honestly how it looked. I wonder if it has something to do with Yurippe and Mochi.

It's true that Nana-san's recent lyrics are still distinctive, but there aren't as many things to discover in them anymore. I can't help sensing a somewhat world-weary side to Nana-san these days.

>517 Judging from the weather forecast so far, it looks more likely that there won't be any snow accumulation or icy roads.

Yurippe hasn't just run out of material recently—she's been out of material for ages lol.

I want to put eye drops in Yurippe's eyes. http://blog-imgs-23-origin.fc2.com/b/u/k/bukkakemania/dmc17_009.jpg

Of course she'd get insolent if people were all lovey-dovey in front of a single woman. You can understand that much, right?

>523 When did Nana-san ever say she was single?

>518 Mini-Crow definitely has nothing to do with it. Maybe they had a fight during rehearsal?

Your criticism of Nana-sama is intense. How can you believe something when you don't even know whether it's true?

It's the usual post-concert routine lol. Isn't this what always happens? lol

You guys are seriously so damn loud. Nana has her own pace. Leave her alone.

Nana-san, get plenty of sleep while you can. Wouldn't want you to get sleepy during the concert and end up in a bad mood.

>527 I think so too lol.

Do you think it'll snow tomorrow? There were quite a few people who drove to last year's countdown concert. I wonder what to do this year.

Could someone tell me which karaoke service has the most GARNET CROW songs (DAM and so on)? I care more about the number of songs than the videos, please. m(_ _)m

>532 If you mean the new songs from the album, it's Joysound. They'll be adding two more on January 15 too. UGA is pretty decent as well.

>532 If you're only counting songs, it's UGA.

Nana probably got lonely because Yurippe drifted away from her. And seeing them all lovey-dovey right in front of her probably didn't help. If Mochi broke up with Yurippe and quickly returned her to Nana, Nana would go back to how she used to be. It was a bad idea for Yurippe's partner to be someone from within the group.

Lately, a lot of Nana's lyrics feel like they're about things you could find anywhere. It ends up sounding like Yurippe is covering that up with her overly convincing singing.

>535 What stupid stuff are you talking about? lol Nana-san probably isn't good with the vibe at concerts, especially recent ones. Maybe she enjoyed it at first, but as she got older she couldn't keep up anymore, or got tired of it. She doesn't seem to like rehearsals either. Yurippe knows that, so she's being considerate. Those two are perfectly friendly at fan events and stuff.

>537 "She's getting tired of it"... Isn't that practically an insult to Nana-san? If she were getting tired of it, she could just stop showing up. Once she does show up, she has to do things properly, right? A concert isn't just singing and playing instruments, is it? Though I don't think she's getting tired of it.

It's not necessarily true that AZUKI-san is the only one at fault. Maybe there's some problem with the others, including Yurippe and the support members, and she's angry about it—or disillusioned, perhaps?

n

Yurippe's first outfit at the other day's concert looked see-through. How many centimeters above her knees were her legs visible?

>539 That's certainly possible. Personally, I thought Nana-san herself was always like that, but apparently some people felt she looked insolent. What really caught my attention was how overly considerate Yurippe was toward Nana-san.

Maybe she got seriously pissed off? lol

They've shown up holding hands before, right... Nostalgic. I think they're basically close. What I hate is how fans these days call out to Nana-san so much during the talk and throw off her pace. She already starts talking much faster after being prompted, and then they yell things like "Do your best!" That unique pause of hers is one of Nana-san's best qualities. I wish people would limit themselves to calling her name right before the end.

Seeing two ladies, 36 and 33, come out holding hands is a little creepy lol.

>544 It was on Music Station, right? I don't know whether Yurippe was still so fresh and nervous that she got tense, but she came out holding Nana-san's hand. She's gotten used to it and improved after doing so many concerts, but I prefer the fresh Yurippe whose nervousness was obvious even to us. I know I'm writing something unreasonable lol. Fans also often call out at bad times. But I feel one reason is that the members were too eager to respond to fans' calls in the early days lol.

What an unpleasant turn this thread has taken.

I'm taking the shinkansen from snowy Yamagata to Osaka via Tokyo. I wonder if it'll snow in Osaka too.

Nana-sama's lack of energy is partly the audience's fault too. Nana-sama was totally fired up in Fukuoka, though.

No, the cheapness of the staging at recent concerts is abnormal. Doing Mini-Crow endlessly, the whole-venue wiper-wave thing, the glow sticks, and all that too. The drawn-out MCs also loosen the atmosphere of the concert. Nana-sama has an artistic temperament, so she probably hates that kind of thing.

Nana-san probably doesn't like concerts themselves all that much. This has been bothering me: Yurippe's first outfit at the other day's concert looked see-through, but how many centimeters above her knees were her legs visible?

>550 The increase in the number of concerts might have an effect too, more than the staging and so on. They've been using glow sticks and doing the wiper wave since way back, right? The entrance staging this time may well have been cheap if you call it cheap, but it surprised me.

Considering the budget, this is probably the limit of what they can do with the staging. Compared with other artists, they do far too few concerts. If they don't play more dates in smaller venues, fans in the regions will feel lonely and gradually drift away.

>548 It's snowing in Shiga Prefecture, so they may run trains slowly around Maibara. I recommend setting out early.

If you have a complaint about Nana, tell me!!

Not being able to fill venues in Tokyo is proof of their actual ability, isn't it? Playing in the regions would only make Yurippe feel lonely. Country bumpkins should travel to the concerts.

If fans are going to leave just because there aren't many concerts, then they can stop being fans for all I care.

>553 But in Gane's case, it seems like the more concerts they do, the more ticket and CD sales drop.

At the concert, Yurippe was dancing next to Mochi while he sang in that first see-through outfit, right? When she was dancing or raising her arms, the skirt would get pulled up, so couldn't it have been that her thighs were visible through it nearly up to the point where her panties were about to show? Watching the DVDs, at the Lock On and Best concerts, when she raised her arms the skirt got pulled up too, exposing even more of her thighs.

I think events should mainly be held in Kansai. For tours, starting in Tokyo and wrapping up in Osaka would be best.

Apparently Yurippe can't do without Nagoya's high-pitched female cheers. Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka should be enough. Who needs Hokkaido and Kyushu?

>558 In this case, the big thing is holding two shows in Osaka in December.

Her thighs were visible through it, but it looks like she was wearing hot pants, or culottes, from the start. And honestly... it's not exactly something to get that excited about. They looked pretty, though.

Concerts are great, but next year I really want them to put some effort into making music too. And make sure they properly recover from this year's fatigue.

The comedy duo Ikuyo-Kuruyo-sensei are still active, huh. I want Yurippe and Nana to keep going until they're that age too.

>563 When she was dancing or raising her arms, the skirt got pulled up. How many centimeters above her knees could you see her thighs through it?

I like this Mini-Crow CD. I like this kind of arrangement.

GARNET concerts should just be GARNET songs, pure and simple. We don't need the SUPER LIGHT and so on comedy routine.

>567 I liked the previous one too. 3296 would be fine at a concert, but practice a little more. Show us something as good as "Koi no Aima ni."

Mochi: "Shut up, idiot."

The next concert can be Sapporo, Sendai, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka.

>571 Why leave out Tokyo? The people in Tokyo, Chiba, and Saitama alone could easily fill two live houses.

They'll probably cut the regions loose.

>572 Because Nana-sama doesn't like Tokyo.

How does an outsider like you know Nana-san's preferences? lol

>575 Typical newbie.乙!

>566 It wasn't really being pulled up. And it wasn't a one-piece dress like at the Rocks concert. But it was see-through almost all the way down.

Come to Niigata~ Niigata.

Yurippe and Nana love Hokkaido.

I think Yuri-san is an angel who descended to earth.

>577 Wasn't it being pulled up? You said it was see-through almost all the way down, but how many centimeters above her knees could you see her legs through it?

Thigh guy, you're annoying.

○ Things to keep in mind during a concert Drink plenty of water. A towel is essential. The bathrooms get crowded, so go before the show starts. Don't use having kids with you as an excuse to call attention to yourself during the MC. Exercise restraint with glow sticks. Don't draw pictures beforehand and use them to call attention to yourself. Don't bring models or stuffed animals inside. Before live-commenting on the thread with your phone, enjoy the show first. Listen to what Yuri-san says. Standing perfectly still is fine if you're enjoying yourself. Other people aren't paying that much attention to you. Enjoy yourself however you want.

About 20 centimeters above her knees.

>561 Nana-sama seems to like Fukuoka.

Nana-sama: "I like the Fukuoka venue. The audience is friendly, or rather, they welcome you warmly. The members may actually feel more relaxed performing in Fukuoka. There were no complaints even when the MC was totally rambling."

>577 If you engage ID:iJa11a5t0, he'll cling to you forever. He's not merely a pervert—he's a paranoiac.

>585 20 centimeters? You said she seemed to be wearing hot pants, or culottes, from the start, but were the hot pants themselves visible through the skirt?

Her panties weren't visible. She changed in such a short time, and the skirt was see-through, so it's reasonable to assume she was wearing them from the start.

Could you see Yurippe's armpits when she was wearing the dress she came out in?

>584 It'd be even more fun if you learned the choreography beforehand (Miss Holy, wish).

>590 I see. So it's highly likely she was wearing them. Apparently she was dancing beside Mochi while he sang, but were her thighs completely visible through the skirt then too?

>587 Fukuoka also has lots of cute girls, you know lol.

During Mochi's segment, I was just dancing to the rhythm while watching Mochi and wasn't paying close attention, so I don't really know.

Tokyo has lots of gross girls too, you know lol.

Country-bumpkin jealousy lol. Cute. You can't compete with the city, after all.

>597 You mean me, the country bumpkin? I'm a Tokyo resident. Tokyo is seriously gross, though.

Must be nice to spend New Year's with the members.

I'm quietly watching Gaki no Tsukai... I'm starting to feel like crying.

I'll be arriving at Shin-Osaka soon. Looks like the delay is about 10 minutes. I'll buy the merch after the show. The lucky bags will probably sell out quickly like last year.

Seriously, why do Yurippe and Mochi have to appear on the radio all the way into January next year? Give them a break already. There's only the LIGHT tour announcement, so Mochi alone would be enough. Why don't they just move to Nagoya?

I guess I'll start getting ready to head to River Forum soon! By: Ikuno Ward, Osaka City

I'm lined up for the merch, but this is way too cold.

Someone's going to die out here. Is it snowing?

It's not snowing, but the wind is brutal. If you're coming now, dress warmly.

>606 Thanks for the advice. The wind must be strong because it's near the sea.

Have the flower bouquets arrived?

I got a late start (´∀｀) I'm scheduled to arrive at 21:12, orz... Will I make it?

>602 Next year's radio appearance isn't live, so it may already have been recorded.

Speaking of recordings, Paspara was actually recorded too lol. They talked about being sleepy because it was late and drinking coffee, but it was really recorded during the day lol.

I walked here from Umeda. It's cold.

>610 Huh? I feel like the official site said they were live appearances for everyone.

>613 They list "live appearance" and recorded appearances separately as "guest appearance," but next year's are all listed as "guest appearances."

>614 Ah, I see. Thanks.

Happy New Year~

Yurippe should quit the countdown concert that only benefits Kansai people and appear on Gaki no Tsukai instead.

Happy New Year.

To all the members and everyone involved, please take care of us again this year.

It's over. The souvenir is red-and-white mochi.

I was surprised they did "Ai ni Niteru." I was surprised by Mini-Crow's "Mikansei na Neiro" too.

Spiral was exhausting lol. They did it about five times.

"pray" was good too. "Mayoi no Mori" and "Kyou to Ashita to" were good too. You really can't leave out "Yume Mita Ato de." "Futari no Rocket" → the end of "Spiral" can't be left out either. Mini-Crow wore me out, but it was a really fun, hype concert. It was hot inside and cold outside, so I'm going to nap at an internet café before heading home.

During Spiral, Oka-Mocchi, Yurippe, and Furui-san were looking toward the right-hand stage wing from the audience's perspective and laughing. Did anyone manage to see what was happening backstage? I was on Nana-san's side, so I couldn't see.

Good work(´∀｀) Mikansei was great~ I was jealous of the platform shoes the gothic-lolita-looking woman was wearing. Being short is rough.

Congrats to everyone who went. It was cold outside lol. Ai ni Niteru would be nice. I hope they do it at a concert this year too.

Happy New Year again. Yurippe said it during the countdown too, but it was nice to say, "Should we carry over the good things?" I wonder if Kurose-san's thunderous drumming has made a comeback too...

Kurose-san was taking directions from Furui-san. They were making eye contact through those sunglasses lol.

Masaharu Fukuyama announces his marriage.

Someone shoved his way in front and wore a brimmed hat the entire time. I was around the tenth row, but I couldn't see a thing. His bespectacled friend also cut in at the Kawasaki event and kept chatting away with the person next to him, so I couldn't hear a word of the Mochi-Yuri talk. The worst. Go die.

>630 There was definitely a guy in a brimmed hat on Nana-san's side, but when the woman behind him asked him to take off the hat in front of her, he meekly removed it. Were there a lot of hat guys?

>631 I felt kind of sorry for the hat guy lol. I think that woman also shouted "Can we stop already?" loudly when Yurippe said something like, "Hello~ We're Mini-Crow." Maybe it was a different person, though. That was a little annoying.

Tonight's SUPER LIGHT guy was "Tonight." Yurippe's backing vocals were good too. Seven songs from Nana-sama on the album? "That's not enough!"

>630-632 The man in the black hat and black suit was definitely loud. But I thought he might be someone with a disability who couldn't read the room. There was also an old woman next to him with a voice like Masako Ohya, and she was loud too. Ah, young people probably don't know who Masako Ohya is. A cutesy old-lady voice.

>625 I thought Mini-Crow's "strangers" and "Mikansei na Neiro" were especially good.

There was talk about doing an outdoor concert as part of their activities for the new year. Nana-san said, "Somewhere warm," and Furui-san agreed. People in the audience suggested Nara, Todaiji, and the Heijo Palace site, while the black-hat, black-suit guy kept persistently shouting, "Nagisaen in Shizuoka!" There is absolutely no way it'll be Nagisaen lol.

The old guy next to me kept shoving me before it started and seemed unpleasant, but once it began he was grinning, which was kind of cute (lol).

From somewhere near me, I heard someone say, "Come to Inazuma!" They've also played an ANN live show, so maybe they'll collaborate with other bands again.

The order is more or less right, and the song titles are more or less right too. 1 たとえば12月の夜に 2 tell me something 3 かくれんぼ 4 愛に似てる 5 迷いの森 6 涙のイエスタデー 7 Fall in life miniqlo (New Year's) 8 strangers 9 未完成な音色 10 水のない晴れた海へ 11 nonsense 12 U 13 wish 14 pray Countdown 15 mysterious eyes 16 The Crack-up 17 夢見たあとで 18 今宵エデンの片隅で 19 僕らだけの未来 20 君の思い描いた夢　集メル　HEAVEN 21 over drive 22 アオゾラカナタニ 23 二人のロケット 24 スパイラル And "今日と明日と" was somewhere in there too.

3296, in another 40 minutes it'll be New Year's lol. Standing-room shows are fine, but the front two areas should be reserved for short girls. The constant "I can't see, I can't see" is annoying.

Someone collapsed during the show. I wonder if they're okay. >639 Did they do "U"?

Yurippe's yankee glare under all that makeup was pretty intimidating. Azuki-san was drenched in sweat and looked wonderful.

>641 Then maybe "Kyou to Ashita to" was in the spot where "U" went. I'll leave the details to the hardcore fans.

>641 I don't know if it was the same person, but during the exit there was a woman being carried along by a man. I thought they should seat people with weak constitutions in the second-floor seats or something.

>639 "pray" and "Mayoi no Mori" out of season? I'm so jealous. >636 If it's spring or summer, anywhere will be warm. Are they really planning to do it while it's still cold? How about Chiba for a change?

We got to see all kinds of people: a grandpa and grandkid, a middle-school daughter and her mother, two aunties, glasses and hat guys, and so on. Hat guy and the other hat guy, go die.

I don't think they did "U." "Kyou to Ashita to" was the first encore song, and "Aozora Kanata ni" wasn't an encore song, I think. And maybe "Eden" was the first song of the new year?

The heart-shaped paper airplanes said "Happy New Year," right?

Quite a few people who'd gone to the Overdrive event came too. According to Mochi, Yurippe was apparently as stiff as a stick during the rehearsal for her interaction with Conan-kun lol.

>642 >Yurippe's yankee glare under all that makeup Hey, don't say that lol. Yurippe seemed to spend longer than usual looking stern during this concert, but maybe she was tired. It seemed like she failed to produce her voice in the parts where she was supposed to sing more often than usual (not counting the balloon-kicking segment, of course). There were even times when she held the mic in the wrong hand and her voice didn't reach it. GIZA-san, please take good care of Yurippe and don't wear her out.

A young male staffer was crouched on one knee in the space just below the stage a little in front of the black hat, like a ninja waiting for his master's orders. I wonder if the organizers were keeping an eye on him too.

How many of you were around the hat guy? lol Could the hat guy also have been the one shouting in a way that killed Nana-san's exquisite pauses during her talk?

>652 I feel like the overbearing cheer of "Do your best, Nana-san!" came from the Masako Ohya old lady.

>652 >How many of you were around the hat guy? lol GIZA must have anticipated the hat guy cutting in at the front and assigned low ticket numbers so the 2ch users could keep an eye on him.

Are they trying to make telling Azuki-san "Do your best" a thing? The hat guy was shouting it too lol.

It turns out the jacket that everyone thought was completely composited was actually shot on the Austria bus tour.

I just ate the souvenir mochi. It's simple mochi with no flavor, but it's tasty (￣〜￣) I went to Hatsutenjin for my first shrine visit of the year. Here's to another fun year with GARNET CROW—pray (wish★). I'm taking a leisurely Kodama back to Tokyo now.

Good work to everyone who attended the countdown. I wish I'd gone.

I wish I'd gone too. Did the venue fill all 2,100 seats?

The black hat guy was at Nagoya too. He said "Woo!" after every song, shouted during the MC, and the moment the members disappeared after the main set, he yelled, "GARNET! GARNET!" It wasn't very pleasant to watch... I wanted to hear "Ai ni Niteru."

What was the MC like? Earlier someone said they'd split into red and white teams—did they do that? And what about all the talk about Nana's condition? lol

Garnet Shopping was the red-and-white duo. The members' schedules were open for Mochi's live show, but Yurippe was the only one eager to appear as a guest. Nana-san just said, "Do your best."

The black-clothes-and-hat person on Furui-san's side was also making weird cries like "witsu witsu," as if Matsuko Deluxe were imitating a pigeon, and the people behind them were creeped out.

>661 There was no team split or anything. It was normally Nana-sama's bedtime, but last night was the one night a year she stays up late. So: Audience: "Are you sleepy?" Nana-sama: "I'm awake!" She seemed to be in a reasonably good mood.

During the merch intro, Furui-san betrayed Azuki-san, who was drenched in sweat, and she kept her down-jacket zipper closed. Originally Mochi and Yurippe were supposed to do a bunny pose, but then Yurippe and Azuki-san suddenly started discussing where to stand, and it was great to watch.

Telling Nana-san "Do your best" is seriously looking down on her too much. It may be unconscious, but it's incredibly rude.

Thanks. >665 What was it about Yurippe and Nana that was so good? I was a little worried about those two before lol. But I guess Yurippe and Mochi really were supposed to do it at first...

>666 I think so too. It gets annoying when they say it every time Nana-san tries to talk.

>659 The queue numbers apparently went up to 2,300, but hardly anyone with numbers around 1,500–2,000 was there. Actually, that venue can't hold 2,000 people anyway, can it?

Apparently Furui-san wore the same "Happy Anniversary" shirt as Azuki-san during rehearsal, but Azuki-san was the only one wearing it during the actual show. Mochi pointed out that she hadn't opened her down jacket even though it was hot, and she said, "I'm the only one dressed like this," then peeked the zipper open and closed it again. I won't write the rest because it might get reposted to the lesbian board. But it was good.

That female Oka-Mocchi fan was really cutting in. Even though she had a later queue number, she casually went to the second row? The center, anyway. That was wrong on a human level too. What a turn-off.

The creepy person who says, "Oka-Mocchi, marry me"? It's weird how she's always near the front at every venue.

Oka-Mocchi is 34. The other three are older than Oka-Mocchi.

Yurippe is 33.

Apparently Oka-Mocchi was complaining to Yurippe in the tour vehicle sometime in 2010. I don't know what it was about, though lol.

Ayumi Hamasaki (32) is getting married, apparently. I hope Yurippe finds happiness soon too. Though Ayumi is definitely going to get divorced lol.

>659 The first floor was full. They even announced that people should move farther forward. During the jumps in Spiral, I was wondering if it was really okay to jump in such a tightly packed crowd. There seemed to be a few audience members on the second floor besides staff, perhaps people with children or others deemed unable to stand.

>671 She's a stalker. Oka-Mocchi is kind, so I wonder if he'll be okay.

Who were the support members?

>670 I don't really understand the situation, but what's bad about taking it off? It'd be worse if her face melted from all the sweat lol.

Why are their manners so bad? There were quite a few other people saying "Woo!" too. It was seriously gross. If they just acted normally, people around them wouldn't look at them with disgust. I don't understand why they always say incomprehensible things like "Woo!" It was mostly the people wearing hats.

>680 They were supposed to come out wearing the pink T-shirts from this concert, but Azuki-san alone was wearing a black sweatshirt from the 2010 Best Tour lol. She probably thought it would be bad from a merch-sales perspective. It must have been hot in a down vest, but she wore it with a perfectly cool expression. As expected of a former model.

>680 Yurippe, Oka-Mocchi, and Furui-san wore the countdown concert goods T-shirts under their down vests, but Nana-san wore a 10th Anniversary T-shirt under hers and kept it zipped up. When one of the members asked, "Azuki-san, you're keeping it zipped even though it's this hot?" Nana-san said into the unamplified mic, "Because I'm the only one wearing this" (the 10th Anniversary T-shirt).

If someone says, "Oka-Mocchi, marry me~," the single guy should shout, "Marry me~!"

I was lucky to be next to a cute girl. But she was short and had to stand on tiptoe, so I felt sorry watching her. She was cute, though.

>684 It'd be scary if she took you seriously. >685 You should've picked her up.

>682 Huh. Then Nana was the weird one lol. But if they had discussed it beforehand, the old guy was awful lol. He could've at least told her they were changing it.

>665 So Oka-Mocchi's thing was a bunny pose? lol I didn't realize.

>687 >The old guy was awful lol Why? Nana-san was the one who got it wrong.

I can barely follow this conversation.

>689 Oh, I see. Looking at >670, I thought the old guy had set her up. Like, the old guy just happened to be wearing an old shirt, while the one for the actual show was supposed to be pink, obviously.

There couldn't have been any advance discussion. Furui-san had been wearing the one his wife washed during all the rehearsals and then wore it to the actual show too, so Azuki-san assumed it would be the same as always. I think it was Furui-san's revenge after Azuki-san told him in Nagoya, "I don't do laundry."

Maybe she didn't say, "I don't do laundry," but rather, "I don't bring washed towels—I use a new one every time."

So the usual matching-shirt poses—Mochi and Yurippe matching, Nana and the old guy matching—fell apart.

>694 So that's why we didn't get to see Yurippe's bunny pose? lol

They were talking about how Furui-san's shirt was too short and would shrink in the wash, and Azuki-san said, "Mine is new every time. I don't wash them."

That led to the discussion about Mochi having short legs.

Yurippe asked how well the merch towel absorbed sweat, and Azuki-san said, "It's new, so it doesn't absorb sweat," which earned her Yurippe's yankee glare.

I'm dying lol. Yurippe stakes her life on promoting the merch, and then they go on about the shirts shrinking and the towels not absorbing sweat. What a great group dynamic lol.

Azuki-san is so honest. That's exactly right lol.

After a tense year of complaining to Yurippe and taking his frustration out on the staff, Mochi's theme for this year is apparently "be kind to people."

>672 Yeah, that person! If she's at the front every time, maybe she just goes wherever there's an opening every time. Seriously annoying. I wish she'd disappear. She probably can't read the room in everyday life either lol. I feel so sorry for Oka-Mocchi that someone like that likes him.

This concert felt like a slapdash job to me. They probably did it with the idea that as long as they held a concert, revenue would go up. It's disappointing because the 2009-2010 one was so much better in terms of quality. >702 Is that person part of a trio? One man and two women?

>701 Mochi must have been busy and having a hard time too. Maybe he wasn't complaining about work at all, but about his girlfriend and taking his frustration out on her. He got dumped because he was too busy or something lol.

>704 It was probably work complaints, but Yurippe is kind to listen to him. Though Yurippe probably joins in and complains too. Any guy who talks about his own girlfriend's complaints is the worst.

>702 Wasn't she shouting from the back at the Symphonic show? I wonder if there was a ticket for her on the auction sites.

>703 I don't know how many people are in the group, but she hangs around with several people. That girl touches all kinds of men way too much lol. This time it looked like someone she knew was near the front, so she forced her way in, but the acquaintance looked pretty uncomfortable, which was hilarious lol. She used them as a prop, basically. I happened to see the whole exchange up close lol.

>706 The weird shrieks are seriously annoying. I wish people would stop thinking it's fine as long as they're the only ones having fun. And it's not just that girl—there seem to be a lot of people who don't consider how they're bothering everyone around them.

They probably want to advertise that they're here today too, but they're going about it the wrong way.

>705 I mean complaints about his girlfriend herself. Like, women get angry over unreasonable things, so what are you supposed to do? "Which is more important, your job or me?" and so on. Yurippe would probably listen for the time being, but if he asked Nana, she'd probably lecture him instead lol.

>702 Was that group the one who made headlines for cutting in at the STAY show in Akasaka? I feel like I remember seeing that girl's Mixi.

Some people in the Mixi gatherings have made gathering the whole purpose, and they're noisy and annoying, chattering away during the event. Don't come to the front row.

Writing about it here is pointless. Make a thread about it on Mixi.

A thread about annoying behavior has been created on Mixi.

>714 Thanks for the information. Anyway, yesterday Yurippe said that the impression she gives through her songs, music videos, and jacket photos is quite different from the impression she gives when talking on the radio. She said, "I wonder if I lose fans every time I appear on the radio." It would be better not to shatter that image, but I guess that's difficult.

Maybe Yurippe and Mochi want to make GARNET's image more approachable and lower the barrier to entry, rather than something only connoisseurs appreciate. The other two may want to maintain the status quo, or dig deeper into the music.

She can get as excited as Miyuki Nakajima, for all I care.

So how does Yurippe actually want people to see her? It's not like she should create some character just to sell records.

I feel like Nakamura-san is catering to the people who go, "Yurippe, huff huff." I don't even know whether she mistakenly thinks she's an idol.

If they could get a One Piece tie-in, they'd become major. It matches the manga's worldview perfectly.

It feels like Yuri-san has been turning into a "sweets（笑）" type over the past year. You can see hints that she's been working hard on all sorts of things, both externally and internally. Personally, I think she's wonderful without dressing herself up that much, so she doesn't need to try so hard. Maybe she's the one person who least understands how she wants to be seen lol.

Let's leave that kind of thing to the young people.

The support members were Ohashi-san, Kurose, the usual skinny bassist, and no strings or chorus. They also had an LED display set up to show the countdown numbers, but it never showed lyrics—just image footage the whole time.

For the survey question about costumes, I wrote that Yurippe's heavy makeup caught my attention in a bad way.

>The usual skinny bassist lol That's Ohashi-san from FEEL SO BAD lol. He's the longest-serving member of the bunch. Also, the side guitarist was Karita, you idiot.

>710 Well, Mochi's girlfriend is Yurippe, after all.

Desperate to cement the Yuri × Mochi theory right from New Year's Day, I see. Mochi probably wouldn't choose Yurippe. Apparently guitarists are popular with women lol.

>"I wonder if I lose fans every time I appear on the radio." She knows it, doesn't she? lol So she is aware of it lol.

Is she aiming for a cosmetics commercial or something?

She'd have to fix that deadpan reading first, though.

>729 Like Sonoko Suzuki lol.

>730 True, it's monotone, but that's what makes it good.

On Mixi, there's someone named after a certain Dragon Quest character, and their posts rub me the wrong way every single time. Does anyone know who I mean?

>729 Mai Kuraki does one, after all.

>733 Stop discussing that kind of thing here.

>733 The guy who uses Kansai dialect?

I wonder if AZUKI-granny has ever eaten an Azuki Bar.

>733 Yes...

Is it true that Nana said something dirty during a concert MC before? What did she say?

>738 Tell us.

Rina Aiuchi retired, huh. GARNET will have its day like this someday too, won't it~ (>_<)

Apparently Yurippe wore black hot pants at the other day's concert. Were her legs bare? I saw posts saying she wore stockings too. Which was it?

>739 Nana apparently said that the lyrics to "Hana wa Saite" mean a woman making a pass at a man.

Maybe she should've gone with much bolder shorts, and slimmer boots too. It would've looked cooler and made her legs look longer. If anything, I wanted to see Nana's legs, but I don't understand why she'd take them off anyway lol.

>744 I wonder how many centimeters above the knees the "sea-pants" were. Was Yurippe wearing stockings with the "sea-pants"?

>743 There's absolutely no way that's what the song is about lol. I prefer this exchange: Yuri: "What kind of song is this, Oka-Mocchi?" Mochi: "It means letting them cut the bone so you can cut the flesh, right, Azuki-san?" Nana: "Yeah, that's right~"

>746 Wasn't there a post saying Nana had said it that way? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. Please answer the question in 745.

>746 At the Tokyo show, Nana-san definitely made a comment like >743 about "Hana wa Saite, Tada Yurete." Still, it's disappointing that they didn't perform any new songs either on the tour or at the countdown...

I saw a photo on some radio station's blog and Yurippe and Mochi were wearing matching outfits lol. Mochi had the sweater from the Mini-Crow CD, and Yurippe had a similar black one. Anyone would think they were a couple after seeing that. At this point, I don't think these people are merely accidentally wearing similar clothes. They're not even trying to hide it.

Apparently Yurippe wore black hot pants at the other day's concert. Were her legs bare? I saw posts saying she wore stockings too. Which was it?

You're persistent. She was wearing white stockings.

>751 Were those white stockings also on during the very first see-through outfit?

I don't know, I didn't look. She wasn't wearing boots at first... but maybe she had them on.

>753 Were those white stockings a pale color? There were lots of posts saying her legs were bare.

They were pale. But they definitely weren't bare legs.

>749 They even dress alike for Mini-Crow. Maybe they're deliberately going for something? The way the photos in the lyric booklet were taken, too... No wonder he wants to complain.

Apparently Mochi's heart is set on the SKE he saw in Nagoya, though.

>753 "I don't know, I didn't look," huh. What a shame. Does anyone know whether Yurippe wore the same stockings with her first see-through outfit as she did with the hot pants?

The perverts are full of energy first thing in the new year.

>749 You can't wear matching outfits unless you're dating. They both really want to say it, don't they~

They're not the same. With the white dress, she wore glittery natural-colored stockings and mesh heels. For Mini-Crow, she wore regular natural-colored stockings with robe-boot-style heels. For the encore, it was black stockings with Conan shoes.

>743 Didn't she say that during the STAY tour too?

If they're dating, I'd like them to report it to the fans in their own words. Though their fanbase would probably shrink dramatically. Do the two of them actually have the guts to do that?

She wore red tights during the countdown.

You people are so nitpicky lol. You really pay attention to that stuff, huh? lol

>761 So if the stockings were different, does that mean she wasn't wearing black hot pants under the first see-through outfit?

>763 If they thought they'd lose fans, they wouldn't do things that make people think they're dating, like matching outfits. If anything, it looks like they're deliberately trying to be seen as a couple. The Mini-Crow photos are obviously calculated too. Maybe the two of them are just doing what they're told from above.

The thing Nana-sama said about "Hana Saki" was written up here as an erotic comment: that people can survive just by digesting something every day, but flowers live only to bloom, lure men, and leave behind their genes, or something like that lol. It was just someone writing it up here, though.

>761 Since you notice such fine details, let me ask: With the first see-through outfit, when Yurippe was dancing or raising her arms, did the skirt get pulled up enough to reveal her panties?

The boots were different lengths with the Mini-Crow outfit and with the skirt-and-panties outfit too.

When she was dancing or raising her arms, could the skirt have been pulled up enough that you saw not only her thighs through it, but her panties too?

With the white see-through outfit, something like white boxer shorts was visible when the light hit her from behind, so it was difficult for your gaze to reach her panties. Despite being see-through, it seems she was more covered up than expected.

>768 I didn't see the post, but I vaguely remember Nana-san saying something like that during the MC before "Hana wa Saite~" at the Osaka show on the STAY tour. I barely remember it, so I can't say for sure.

>772 White boxers? So she was wearing white short pants? How many centimeters above her knees were her thighs visible?

>767 If making them look like a couple were company policy, why would the company make them do something with no benefits? People keep saying it's company policy, but there'd be no benefit to making Yuri × Mochi look like a couple.

Maybe it's to dispel the image of Yurippe and Nana being called lesbians all the time lol.

>775 But the Mini-Crow photos seem calculated, no matter how you look at them. The benefit is a mystery, though lol. Maybe it's related to all that talk about the unusually high rate of couples getting together.

>777 Come to think of it, they did say something about it being a romantic or power spot lol. Leaving aside people who came as couples, I wonder if anyone has actually met and become a couple purely through a Gane concert, rather than through Mixi or something.

>772 When she was dancing or raising her arms, was the skirt of the see-through outfit actually pulled up? How many centimeters above her knees could you see her thighs through it?

At this point, your persistence is starting to feel genuinely scary lol.

Why not go check for yourself next time? They'll probably wear something short again eventually.

They're aiming for a postwar Showa where people can dream like Ken and Mary, I guess. Yurippe's countdown outfit was American Graffiti too. Probably the producer's idea.

The Mamas & the Papas, whom they used to feature on GARNET TIME, were a couple within the group too. Was that the producer's taste as well?

>782 I completely agree. It seems like nothing more than production decisions. Besides, a unit with mismatched outfits would look ugly. And seriously, what couple wears matching outfits these days? Sounds like a cherry boy's fantasy,乙.

>767 You say it makes them look like a couple, but what benefit would that give them? They've been doing this for 10 years. It's not like they're in a position to blindly say yes to everything they're told from above.

>785 Maybe Mochi was complaining because they do blindly obey orders from above.

Maybe they wore matching outfits at Oka-Mocchi's live show too.

I was glad to hear "Kakurenbo." The drums were as loud as ever, though. It was hard to hear anything besides the drums and vocals. The Mini-Crow segment was easy to listen to, which was nice. Also, it was insanely cold while waiting to get in lol.

What does pussy smell like?

At the countdown concert, I noticed that Yurippe was filming the audience with a video camera just after midnight. Are they going to put the audience footage on a DVD?

>767 Aren't you overthinking it? I don't think the company or the people themselves are thinking that deeply about it. Idols openly announce their relationships these days, so do they really need to make men and women in their thirties go that far? That's what I think, anyway.

Probably not going to be made into a DVD. If anything were released, it would probably be 2009-2010. This concert was clearly the slapdash job >703 described.

>790 Maybe they'll just put it in the fan-club newsletter or something. Though it seemed like the camera wasn't recording for part of it.

There wasn't even a camera filming Yurippe and the others in the first place.

◆ What singer Hana Uemura (27)'s life and personality can be inferred from the lyrics of "The Toilet Goddess" 1. Her entire family kept her grandmother isolated in an annex next to their home. 2. Ever since she was a child, she only liked playing and being praised by other people. 3. She hated helping with chores from childhood, meaning she hated cleaning the toilet too. 7. Once puberty arrived and she started getting crafty, she cut off contact with her grandmother. 8. During her school years, she would go on sleepover dates with her boyfriend—mini runaway trips—and completely ignore her grandmother. 9. She left her hometown for university and a job. Without leaving her grandmother even a word of thanks, she headed for her dream city, Tokyo. 10. After years without contact, while she was out partying, her family told her that her grandmother was gravely ill and on the verge of death, so she temporarily went home for appearances' sake. 12. Even though her grandmother was on the verge of death, she was refused a visit and sent away. 13. And yet she convinces herself, "I'm grateful to my grandmother for not dying and waiting for me to come home." 14. She never apologized to her grandmother, right up to the end. 15. She pretends to be grateful to her grandmother, but in reality all she thinks about is, "Can I become beautiful?" and "Can I get married?"

...Why go out of your way to post that here?

Nana and Kana.

The Mini-Crow jacket artwork, the choreographed little bow the two of them do after finishing a performance—matching outfits are just one part of that manufactured worldview. Is this really shocking to virgin students these days? If they saw Yurippe gazing dreamily at Mochi from the back row at the bread factory, they'd probably kill themselves.

You guys, calm down <br> Yurippe isn't everyone's. She's Oka-Mocchi's.

>798 The people themselves, including the staff, seem to be enjoying it as a joke. The matching outfits and that whole bit of staging, I mean.

Yuri is nothing more than Oka-Mocchi's fuck buddy.

They're just drip-feeding you people little bits to build up your immunity lol. It's a plan to make it an unspoken understanding before you know it lol.

If the point is to build up your immunity, the other person isn't necessarily Mochi. Still, Yurippe is a normal woman, so I'm sure she's had one or two romances.

Is Running Cowboy the real love interest after all?

Who cares? Whether she's dating someone or married, it's not like I'm going to stop being a fan.

Mini-Crow just looks like a comedy routine about a couple to me. They even announced the album like it was a marriage announcement: "We have an announcement for everyone. Actually, the two of us..." Yurippe may be enjoying it, but being made to wear matching outfits would be annoying if Mochi had a girlfriend.

>805 Even if they really are dating, announcing it could make it impossible for them to continue, right? >806 I thought that too. If Yuri and Mochi each have someone else they're dating, how can they stand this situation? Is it like playing romantic partners in a drama?

If Yurippe's partner were someone from inside the group, like a boss or staff member, she probably wouldn't mind. But if Mochi's partner were an ordinary girl, she might not like it.

You can't stand something they're doing for work? lol Just how small-minded are you people? lol

>802 I think so too. Rather than announcing it out of nowhere, they can gradually give off the feeling that they're dating first, which would cause the least shock.

Yurippe looks like she's having so much fun when she talks with Oka-Mocchi. Their Gane radio conversations are basically the kind of talk a couple has.

Running Cowboy lol. Is he single? He must be over 40 by now, right?

>811 >The kind of talk a couple has That cracked me up lol. It's just a normal, everyday conversation lol.

Yuri Nakamura was the woman who might have become my mother!

I want to marry Yuri-san.

Yurippe missed the notes quite a bit during "Mayoi no Mori" at the countdown. There were even parts where she lost the key, moved her mouth away from the mic, and hummed while checking the key. Also, when Yurippe was filming the audience, it displayed "Pausing recording" partway through, and near the end it displayed "Resuming recording." They probably didn't record part of it lol.

Yurippe adjusts her bra a lot, doesn't she? The padding must be shifting around. If she tightens it too much to keep it from moving, she probably won't be able to sing. Talk about being damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Compared with the coy, sugary voice she uses when talking to Furui-san, her voice when she talks to Mochi sounds like she's talking to someone of lower status—or just a classmate.

>792 So some people thought it looked like a slapdash concert. But they had just finished the album tour a few days ago, and the members themselves had been working brutally hard on radio promotion, so maybe they went in with inadequate rehearsal and improvised on the spot. It's a shame the rough edges stood out, but there were plenty of surprises too, and as someone attending a countdown for the first time, I enjoyed it well enough.

>819 The lack of surprise songs may be why some people felt that way. It might've been better to do covers at the countdown rather than on the tour.

Would anyone really be shocked just because Yurippe and Mochi got married or were dating? Besides, if they each had someone else, they wouldn't act that friendly with each other. They'd be so worried about it that they couldn't even do their jobs.

Wasn't it simply a matter of performance quality?

I don't know whether Nakamura-san was underprepared for the countdown or just tired, but she wasn't at her best. As mentioned earlier with "Mayoi no Mori," she pulled her mouth away from the mic in other songs too. Overall, I got the impression that she was more desperate to hype everyone up than to sing.

>821 There are definitely people who would be.

About Yurippe's first see-through outfit at the other day's Parallel concert: when she was dancing or raising her arms, was the skirt of the see-through outfit pulled up?

Why are the people pushing the Yuri-Oka couple theory so desperate? Would it be a problem if they weren't doing it? There are several of you, too. Are rumors really that much fun? Are you all old ladies?

Wasn't Yuri-san dating Kaneda from Hannya? I thought "Aozora Kanata~" and "Kimi wa Kaneda~" were hints about it.

>827 Don't say that lol. Kaneda is creepy. At least make it Kanata Hongo.

The body of a 33-year-old must be screaming by now. Yurippe, good work getting through December.

>828 If a 33-year-old Yurippe's body is screaming, then 46-year-old Nana's must be shrieking (´・ω・｀).

http://mixi.jp/view_diary.pl?id=1650445893&owner_id=3099873 > "The customary waiting outside after shows has become a regular thing lately. Heh heh, here we go. > There were so many people that I waited near a place where I might stop at a different traffic light from the others. > A taxi that looked like the right one came, and when I looked inside, Nana-sama was there lol. > It was just the three of us—Deumi-san, one acquaintance who isn't my Mixi friend, and me—but when I struck a pose and said, 'Nana-san, salute!!!' she did it for me! When did these idiotic fans start multiplying like this?

Thinking about Yuri-san makes my chest hurt.

I'm dying lol. It's always the gross people who cling to them, I guess. Please don't forget that there are decent fans who quietly support you from the shadows. Nana-sama, イ�`

I wonder when the weird fans started multiplying.

Nana-sama really is a kind person. She doesn't even have to humor idiots like these. She must be absolutely exasperated on the inside.

Mochippe is the busy one, but Furui and Nana may be the ones stuck with the thankless roles. Mini-Crow was probably partly encouraged by Furui-san and Nana-san, and they also don't seem entirely on board with Gane becoming more mainstream. And now the fans seem to be splitting into an idol camp and an art camp.

>826 I think it'll continue until either Yurippe or Mochi gets married, so hang in there until then. Though gradually Mini-Crow and the two-person promotions may disappear, and they may stop even talking to each other—like Yurippe and Nana do now.

>835 The fate of a former idol.

>826 The people who deny the couple theory are pretty desperate too lol.

Subtitle yes/no camp Couple-theory yes/no camp ← NEW

Add a "don't care about subtitles" camp and a "don't care about the couple theory" camp too lol.

Tell me all about the Yokohama incident~

▲ Bring it back, please.

About Yurippe's first see-through outfit at the other day's Parallel concert: when she was dancing or raising her arms, was the skirt of the see-through outfit pulled up?

>772 Was that white boxer-short-looking thing pulled up too when she was dancing or raising her arms?

Back from Teito lol. The countdown concert was fun lol. Fans of all the acts gathered at the Big Egg from all over the country!! There were ladies without tickets hanging around outside, but I got there three hours before the doors opened and the merch muffler towels were already sold out lol. If you want one, you have to line up early... At 20:30, the Kinki concert ended and the countdown attendees made the area around the venue insanely crowded lol. Entered the venue at 21:30. I was super close to the backstage area!! 23:00—KAT-TUN, Uchi, Kis-My, Imai, Tegomass, Yamapi, NEWS, Kinki. I forgot the order, but KAT-TUN performed a new song!! The broadcast started at 23:45!! After the broadcast ended, they did "Ashita ga Kikoeru." The seated JUMP members were adorable!! Penlights: Arashi fans and Kinki fans made up 70%. Since I was by the backstage area, the members were close lol. It was my first time seeing them from this close, apart from the JUMP members!!

1/2, 17:00—JUMP concert at Yokohama Arena. I was heading to Yokohama Arena when the crowd leaving the first show came flooding out lol. The merch line was huge too lol. I'd already bought the merch at the Nagoya concert. Yokohama Arena is huge lol. The set was upgraded compared with Nagoya. My seat was similar to the one at Nagoya and was a good seat lol. Anyway, when you talk about Teito, you have to talk about the number of Juniors. Nagoya concert: 14, so lonely lol. Yokohama Arena: over 80, amazing lol. The introduction of the new Juniors from Johnny's Hi was good too lol. There was even a public press conference at the second show that day. Johnny's is set for the future.

It looks like there'll be an outdoor concert event this year, and plenty of other events too, so it should be fun. Oh yeah, last year Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky ranked tenth at the box office. I think that had a huge impact. I'm looking forward to seeing what tie-ins they get this year too~

>835 Maybe it's like, "If I humor her once, she'll be satisfied," and "I'll do it, so hurry up and go away." What an embarrassing fan, seriously.

There'll be a New Year's comment from them on Oricon again this year.

Music Station's idol special is here!!

I looked into a certain ticket shop in Shinjuku to buy a movie ticket, and they were selling an upper-deck ticket for the countdown for 19,500 yen lol. Even though it was a terrible seat... There were lots of NEWS fans around my seat near the backstage area lol.

Oricon's New Year's comment. Furui-san is so cool~

The Yogurt tie-in doesn't seem to have any benefits whatsoever, does it?

I want to hear Komatsu Miho's new song arranged by Furui-san.

Don't they kind of look alike? ttp://ruru2.net/jlab-ruru/s/ruru1293937995084.jpg

Yurippe was trying so hard to dance during Oka-Mocchi's song at the concert, but... it just looked like children doing the choreography to "Donguri Korokoro." (＞＿＜)

>856 Which one is which? lol

Nana-san on the left, Yurippe on the right.

No way lol.

Yuri-san is too beautiful...

This year, I want to become Yurippe's armpit hair.

Since they'll be dragging us along for ZARD's 20th anniversary, we can't expect much in the first half of the year. I want to enter society and become a fine armpit hair soon, though.

If Azuki-san is the only one with nothing to do, the gap between her and the members will just grow.

I also prayed to Tenjin-sama that Yurippe's makeup wouldn't get any more intense. I even splurged and put in 100 yen as an offering.

Anyone who just leaks a mumbling monologue is creepy.

Still no announcement for the spring concert!?

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

This year's Golden Week schedule is split into an early half and a late half lol. I plan to go to the JUMP concert at Yokohama Arena, as I do every year lol. I need to reserve things now lol. This is the first year of the Baredebu group, so I'm arbitrarily predicting a huge Junior concert in summer lol. Who will be in the Baredebu group!?

How tall are Yuri-san and Nana-san? They both look really stylish and cool in the music videos.

I conquered all the major venues in Teito!! Big Egg, Makuhari, Super Arena, Yokohama Arena, Budokan. I still haven't been to the National Stadium or Pacifico Shumai, but their capacities are too small, so who cares lol.

They mess with the aspect ratio in music videos and such, so you get the phenomenon where Makiko Esumi looks short in real life.

The finale of LOST is a parallel universe, huh. That's a very Nana-sama source, considering she's a King freak.

Apparently there was a little fire scare during today's first show, caused by a short circuit in the wiring near the ceiling lol. Glad none of the members or Juniors were hurt lol.

I listened to Yurippe's voice the whole way home on the shinkansen, fell asleep, and missed my stop lol.

Auntie, t-a-k-e c-a-r-e.

>874 Why didn't you go on a day like that, granny?

The new album is insanely good.

Do you think Nana knows that her real name is known to the fans?

Of course she does. Didn't some fan shout it at a concert or something?

Shut up, idiot.

Yurippe looks like Azumi from the manga, doesn't she?

With Yurippe's first see-through outfit at the Parallel concert, when she danced or raised her arms, did the skirt get pulled up? How many centimeters above her knees could you see her thighs through it?

>880 It's included on the Ninnaji DVD.

I want to take part in the mochi-pounding festival at Yurippe's family home.

If they were simply acquaintances, you'd call her by her real name.

How lacking in common sense would an acquaintance have to be to shout someone's real name when they know she has a stage name? lol

AZUKI888

You have to blame Sugatani for giving her a stage name that's embarrassing to call out.

Say you randomly went to a soapland in Ikebukuro and your old classmate Mayumi Okada came out, but she called herself Wakana. You wouldn't be able to switch over immediately, would you? The closer someone is to you, the weirder it gets, I guess.

>886-887 If you've been a fan since the Sugaya Rie days, you might want to call her by her old stage name (which sounds the same as her real name when spoken). >890 The experienced speak lol.

No common sense either way.

>890 That's way too realistic lol.

Is Azuki-san from Hikone? And yet she doesn't know Hikonyan? Maybe she wants to pretend her past never happened.

"Never happened"—what a weird conversion lol. Even though only my little sister uses the computer at home, what kind of things are you writing? lol After the old age of Yuriccho and Cowboy, this is the next thing to worry about a little.

>984 It may be a dark chapter, but I want to believe that era is what made today's Azuki! I'd love to ask her about that stuff directly!

My phone was restricted so I couldn't use a computer. I'll post my report now 1.

>894 I don't know whether she was born in Hikone or her grandparents were from Hikone. If it's Azuki-san, it wouldn't be strange for her not to know Hikonyan. There's no need to put Hikonyan in the lyrics.

The great part was the flow from "Aozora Kanata ni" into "Yume Mita Ato de"! It was seriously good! It was great getting to hear "Mayoi no Mori" and "Kyou to Ashita to"! Azuki-san was smiling a lot and looked like she was having fun—she was a completely different person from 12/12! It made me think, what the hell happened? Was 12/12 the tsun performance and the countdown the dere performance? Unexpectedly sentimental!

>899 Hard to read. Stop it.

The bad parts were the terrible lyric forgetting from the early to middle section! It was beyond the point where you could just laugh and forgive it! The venue was way too hot! Spiral was way too long—I wanted them to finish quietly with a ballad! The talk wasn't funny at all; I couldn't laugh even once! The intros to "play" and "Yume Mita Ato de" were way too far from the original versions, weren't they? Last year I think I posted a suggestion for throwing mochi, and that wasn't what happened, but getting mochi was nice enough. Still, instead of plain red-and-white mochi, I wanted some playful touch like candy! The mochi didn't have an expiration date printed on it! Zenzai and mochi would have been perfect! If they're doing a countdown again next year, they should serve zenzai at the venue! They went way too hard on the merch, and wandering around in outfits like that in this season will make them catch cold. Are they trying to make themselves targets for police questioning? The lights were way too bright! With them flashing that much, it wouldn't be surprising if someone had a seizure, right? The monitor footage looked like a slapdash job!

Extra segment! Somewhere around the middle-left and toward the back from the audience's perspective, there was an old guy with a disgusting voice who kept yelling "Yuri?" He was incredibly annoying! Yurippe didn't even react when he yelled at her, so there are no words for how stupid he was! His laugh was disgusting too! He laughed almost every time a member spoke! How low is his bar for what counts as funny? He also made his applause go on forever! I don't want to think of someone like that as the same kind of fan as me! By the way, he left incredibly early! Does anyone know who I mean?

I want to go absolutely Overdrive.

Quick question. What was the title of the song that has the line "released a canary" in it?

He left early because he wanted to secure a spot at the front of the waiting line.

>904 If you mean "released a canary," it's "The Crack-up."

>905 Oh, I see! I've never waited outside for them! Though I have happened to see them entering the venue once!

Take it easy, ID:EWTmKlyE0.

Yurippe lolol. Amazon.co.jp: Do you shop online? If you've bought anything from Amazon.co.jp, please tell us about it! Yuri Nakamura: Not yet, but I'd definitely like to give it a try.

Yurippe is pretty analog, after all. She's an old lady, so it can't be helped.

The Johnny's net site is currently showing the 2011 New Year Message!!

>909 What is this? An interview?

Yesterday's little fire scare. During the MC, sparks flew and smoke came out near the ceiling. The JUMP members said, "We'll protect you," and moved close to the audience. Ahh, way too cool lolol.

Yurippe buys things in bulk after seeing them in person, so there's no way she shops online lol.

Azuki-san is about the age when all sorts of menopausal symptoms start showing up, right? Apparently not eating meat makes it worse too, so I'm a little worried ◎

>912 I searched for it, and it seems to be an Amazon interview from around Towa Bare, but that was four years ago. Maybe she shops online by now.

Maybe she bought a vibrator or something and even wrote a review.

I hope her dream of picking sunflowers in Andalusia comes true.

>917-918 Choke on mochi and die.

I know it's early, but are they still not announcing the spring concert, national tour, and industrial-complex concert!?

>909 Yurippe is adorable for completely refusing to let the conversation continue.

It was disappointing that the red-and-white mochi they handed out at the venue didn't have red bean paste inside.

>913 ( ´3｀)・;'.､・;'.､ Pfft. Johnny's otaku taking the stage effect seriously. If there were really a fire, the JUMP members would run away at full speed. Older women going crazy over young men are beyond saving lol.

The psychology of a Johnny's otaku isn't all that different from waving while shouting "Yurippe!" or "Nana-san!"

Does Yuri-san poop?

>883 It was the white scarf over the skirt, idiot.

>925 There's no way she does something as filthy as that.

My hard drive is almost full lol. I have to delete the unnecessary stuff from Kouhaku. Looks like they'll be finalizing the theme song for Bartender soon, huh?

B.I.Shadow's "Biri Biri Dance" was good lol. You can hear it on this week's Kura too lol.

http://file.upload.atgj.net/uporg1552711.jpg I think Yurippe could do something like this too if she tried.

Johnny's Family members should get special discounts on transportation and accommodations as a membership benefit. Johnny's Family contributes a great deal to the Japanese economy.

The Big Egg, Yokohama Arena, Takoyaki Dome, and Takoyaki Castle are dedicated Johnny's concert venues. They get priority permission to use them.

Hagiya-kun from HipHopJump has already mastered fan service lol. I thought he was a high school student, but he's only in eighth grade lol. Mark my words, he'll be a big name in the future lol.

>880 Where did she say it?

↑Actually, not >880 but >884.

A non-fan friend of mine who's a music buff told me to make a CD of recommended GARNET songs. 1. 君の家に着くまでずっと走ってゆく (album version) 2. in little time 3. pray 4. 夕立の庭 5. call my name 6. Rusty Rail 7. クリスタル・ゲージ 8. 永遠に葬れ 9. Rainy Soul 10. A crown That's what I made, but... Any advice?

If you don't include "Like I Can Do Nothing But Fall in Love," Yurippe's cuteness won't come through.

>936 What about Last Love, Eden, and The Crack-up?

>936 If you can't narrow it down, put them all in.

>937 Yurippe's cuteness is important, but let's ignore that this time lol. >938 I want to include Last Love, but... I don't know how many songs is appropriate for a recommendation CD... >939 I seriously can't narrow it down, can I?

>936 In that case, include more singles.

>941 I guess singles really are the way to go. I'll rethink it.

>942 A few singles and a few non-singles → hook him with songs like the ones in 936 → put everything in. That's the flow.

I don't know what kind of music he likes... but if he's a music buff, that's a pretty good selection. If uptempo songs are an option, I recommend Naked Story.

>943 I see. I'll start by putting in the singles he seems likely to enjoy. >944 He seems to prefer slower tempos, if anything. He also knows a lot about Western music and serious artists, so I can't let my guard down...

If he seems to like R&B, how about "holding you, and swinging"?

>936 Why not just use the Premium Disc from the best-of album?

Yurippe should make a swimsuit music video too.

>945 Start with songs that are a little dark and heavy, or a little bright and refreshing. Once he gets hooked, you can expand in either the darker or brighter direction. But for now, I recommend Float World, Holy ground, Marionette Fantasia, and Sky Blue.

Azuki-san in a leotard.

I guess the new song will come after SUPER LIGHT ends.

I was moved by how beautiful Azuki-san's bust line looked in the outfit she changed into after Mini-Crow at the countdown. Please release photos, GIZA-san.

The song that made a non-fan go "Oh!" was Crystal Gauge. The ones that made them recoil were Kakurenbo and Mou Chotto~... I think holding you, and swinging would be pleasant once they're a fan, but non-fans or people who listen to Western music would probably find it irritating. Something like Natsu no Maboroshi is probably a safe, ordinary choice...

>936 You absolutely need Yasashii Ame and Mikansei no Neiro. I also recommend Bokura dake no Mirai. My personal recommendations: 1 Bokura dake no Mirai 2 call my name 3 Kono Te wo Nobaseba 4 Mikansei no Neiro 5 Wasurezaki 6 Holy ground 7 Yasashii Ame 8 As The Dew 9 Rusty Rail 10 Yume Mita Ato de

Just lend him everything lol. By the way, copying it for him counts as copyright infringement, so be prepared.

I thought "serious artist" was supposed to be the punchline, but this is starting to get painful.

>955 There shouldn't be a problem if it's just for personal listening.

I really want you to include holding you, and swinging.

>If it's just for personal listening, there shouldn't be a problem. That understanding is scary. Yurippe doesn't get a single cent from this lol. It does absolutely nothing for a commercial artist.

Isn't lending it for free the same thing? Saying it does nothing—wouldn't this help lay the groundwork for gaining new fans?

>957 "Personal" means the individual who purchased it. Giving it to a third party is an infringement of copyright.

A serious music fan becoming a new fan, huh? lol If they were interested, they'd watch an illegally uploaded video on YouTube and then buy it themselves, like a normal person.

They're probably just a student living off New Year's money. They have no idea what Yurippe makes a living from. Can you really call someone like that a fan?

I want to become Yurippe's chopsticks.

Did Yurippe tell you to buy the best-of album?

>964 I don't think that's what 963 was trying to say.

I was just sitting here slack-jawed.

I want to become Yurippe's mouth.

Japan Gold Disc Awards Japanese pop: Arashi Congrats!!

Since their debut, have they ever talked about their ages in the fan newsletter, on the radio, or anywhere like that?

>970 They have.

Back when they were listed as GIZA artists, everyone's profile except Azuki-san's was more detailed than it is now, right?

>946 >947 >949 >953 >954 >958 Thanks. I'm getting confused lol. Crystal Gauge really is good. And a lot of the songs recommended in >949 and >954 show GARNET's character, so they all seem good... It's hard to choose. >962 Were you talking about >936? He isn't interested in GARNET. I've been recommending them, so he said, "Then play me a few songs."

I'll work hard for Yuri-san again this year.

I can't wait for the spring concert announcement lol. Tickets are hard to get, so I wish they'd add more shows.

An NHK News feature on Arashi's huge popularity is here lol.

Granny, feeling lonely already at the start of the new year, huh.

I want Yurippe to get plenty of rest during the winter. Her voice was pushed way too hard leading up to the countdown concert.

So busy lol. I picked this up lol. They announced at today's Thanksgiving concert that SUMMARY 2011 will be held in summer!! The details aren't decided yet. Last year there were 56 shows at JCB Hall. Will it be Teito only again this year? lol I'm applying for every show even if it means accepting a refund lol. 7,000 yen + 500 yen in fees × 50 shows = 375,000 yen lol. Learning from last year's lesson, somehow I'll make it to at least three shows lol. I went to two shows last year. Fan-club allocation → applied for 3 spots → won only 1. I'll snag one through the additional general sale lol. I have to start saving now lol. What on earth is the spring concert?! Is it an NYC concert?

Where does that passion come from?

My recent money-saving plan: 1. Don't buy any CDs besides Johnny's. 2. Don't attend any concerts besides Johnny's. 3. Haggle over anything that can be haggled over. 4. Save money with early-bird reservations lol.

Just cut your husband's allowance.

>980 A fan's blog. I went to the Yokohama Arena Thanksgiving concert on the 2nd, and they even held a public press conference... They should've announced it then lol.

They announced the spring concert last year, so if they announced SUMMARY in summer... I'm guessing the spring concert is an NYC concert lol. Yuma won't appear at the Thanksgiving concert because he's participating in Taki Revolution lol.

I just... can't understand any of this lol.

Seriously, don't post stuff this incomprehensible. There aren't many posts left. Someone who knows how to do it, please make the next post.

The next thread is going to be started by >950-san lol. Pervert?

The rest is up to you perverts. http://toki.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1294237859/l50

>988 Good work starting the thread, but do you think people will write posts 2 onward in the next thread if you put it that way?

>936 01. Stay 02. Sky 03. Yellow Moon 04. Rhythm 05. Please, forgive me 06. 逃れの町 07. U 08. The first Cry 09. The Crack-up 10. Float World Attack with dark GARNET CROW!

That's a selection I like lol.

Yurippe is right-handed, so her left breast is the more sensitive one, right?

What books does Nana read? Any recommendations?

>993 It's a little old, but I think she read One Hundred Years of Solitude. It's a difficult book, but it's genuinely interesting.

I want to tell Yurippe how it ends.
