Johnny's wotas taking the second post m9(^Д^)ﾌﾟｷﾞｬｰ

>1 Otsu. I thought the GARNET CROW thread was over because nobody started it for more than half a day lol

>1 Laughing-otsu again.

>1 A乙UKI七

>1 Let's otsu together, gently and precariously, like swimming through the night.

Both songs have really nice outros starting from the final vocals. “The wind is far above〜”—it feels so good.

>1 Otsumiley Nation The 2009 DVD is great, and the rehearsal footage is fun to watch too.

Test.

Yuri Okamoto.

Yurippe is a genius.

>1 Life is pretty fun in its own way, but the one thing I don't want to lose is otsu.

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

In the “Doing all right” PV, what song is the live footage where Yuri-san sings with her hands clasped behind her back?

Wasn't it the locks tour?

Could it be “二人のロケット” from 2008's Rock On? (I feel like they also did some kind of forced wipe transition.)

>1 The official YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/garnetcrowofficial I found the one people were talking about in the previous thread. It's nice when the official account uploads things after all. But only Smiley Nation can't be viewed. Do you think it'll become viewable eventually?

>17 This isn't a real “official” account, is it...

2009 is sung in the original key, isn't it? www Yurippe is amazing.

>17 Didn't Being block it? lol There isn't any official GARNET CROW-only channel.

>19 They're not all in the original key.

Once every ten thousand years, a genius like Yurippe appears.

>15-16 Thanks. Yuri-san was just too wonderful in that live footage.

An official channel uploading a SkyPerfecTV PV show, lol No way.

Channel created 2011/06/28? That's insanely recent lol And the age says 20 lol

But the image quality is good, so I'll forgive it.

Blocked by Yurippe due to copyright issues.

Yuri-san is so beautiful I can't get anything done.

When I first saw Yurippe, I never would've guessed she was the type to kick balloons around and fool around.

There really is something irresistible about Yurippe's MC skills never improving no matter how many years pass...

She's good, though.

“Flying” — Yurippe has gotten so much better at singing it. Compared with the first live show, it's like night and day.

Okamoto-san in 2010+ is wonderful. He kind of looks like a peasant from imperial Russia dressing up for the one day a year he gets to look fancy. (Or, as mentioned in the previous thread, Ivan the Fool.)

■New single “Misty Mystery” release confirmed!! The new single “Misty Mystery” is confirmed for release on Wednesday, August 31! We'll announce the details once they're finalized, so please wait a little longer!!

Misty Mystery Hop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLvXLp4f1gs

Smiley Nation 10→12→16→13 Probably around No. 14 on the weekly chart.

“Flying” was the biggest highlight of this DVD. I've watched it over and over.

“flying” was good, but “rhythm” was good too. When Yurippe sang “I want to slide your heart,” she felt downright divine.

A peasant's rhythm.

Nana the old lady http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y08kU4jTjg

We don't need that noisy, brain-dead bullfrog drummer.

I want Yukiko Okazaki on chorus.

I want to have sex with Yurippe and Azuki.

Should I buy the 2010 DVD?

>44 You should buy it.

I want to have sex with Yuri and Azuki, both of them.

>1 To the otsu that comes around again.

>40 Go die.

Don't call Nana-san an old lady.

For a moment, Yurippe looked like Gorippe while singing “Rain Soul.” But I forgive her.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKOWT_Ez83s&sns=em So Yurippe was healing herself with delusional voice clips. She's kind of a lonely songstress, huh lol

Form a duo called “Yurii-Nana” and sing and dance for us in provocative outfits.

Yesterday, July 1, was 7WEST's Tomohiro Kamiyama's birthday. And congratulations to the ladies who won tickets for 7/24 at Takoyaki, and 7/30 and 31 in the North Country!!

Daily singles *1*1*1-*1　24,385　Hey!Say!JUMP Yesterday (26,942)

I want to marry Yuri-san.

I haven't seen Oga-san or Yuichiro Iwai at live venues lately. Is that because Mochi's guitar skills have improved so much that they no longer need those two as support musicians?

I'm happy that she's gotten better at both “flying” and “rhythm,” but “Naked story” was disappointing on the first DVD, so I want her to improve at that one too. It's one of their few bright, up-tempo songs, yet they rarely get a chance to perform it.

I'm a hikikomori, but the only time I feel happy is when I fall asleep listening to Yurippe's singing voice.

>55 Same.

I want to gently lick Yurippe's clitoris.

Yuichiro Iwai has left Being.

Still no payment email!?

Even with a new thread, it's still the same.

I want Yurippe to rape me.

Internet idol from Tohoku releases a song produced by B'z support musicians. http://natalie.mu/music/news/52385

Mochi is so cool〜 Yurippe is so cute〜 Nana-san is so beautiful〜 That reassuring middle-aged-guy feeling.

But it's a single sold at a loss.

Yuri-san in the STAY DVD is too beautiful...

They also have live-venue sales of the single in mind, so it's profitable overall.

I think the Nana-san around >40 is definitely an old lady.

Still no album payment email!? I just finished paying for the stage show and my travel flight lol

Johnny's is holding auditions in Korea! There's a rumor that Johnny's will hold auditions in Korea. The goal is to rebuild Japan's idol market, which has been constantly losing ground to K-pop lately. “Apparently they're going to hold a Johnny's-sponsored audition in Korea. If you're selected as a member, there will apparently even be a large cash prize as a bonus. They'll bring the male idols selected here back into Japan. The key point is that at least one Japanese person must be included among the members. The apparent goal is to rebuild the Japanese market, which groups like TVXQ have been having their way with until now.” Incidentally, Johnny's is apparently preparing a business partnership with the Korean TV station SBS for this project. SBS is also known as the station that aired the drama “You're Beautiful” (starring Jang Geun-suk). The remake of that drama starting in July (on TBS) stars Yuta Tamamori and Taisuke Fujigaya (both of Kis-My-Ft2), and Hikaru Yaotome (Hey! Say! JUMP). With K-pop groups entering the market one after another, it seems the entertainment world's biggest force, Johnny's, has decided it's time to fight back.

Has the DVD image quality gotten better than before? I feel like there are a lot fewer jagged edges—or rough pixelation, I guess. Anyway, “この冬の白さに” from the 2010 live is the best.

The 2008 one had absolutely horrible image quality.

DVDs are all equally crappy quality overall, right? They can't even be compared with Blu-ray lol

I've been way too busy today too, so I didn't have time to make a uchiwa lol Starting the week after next, I'll be traveling every weekend lol

Y is definitely cute, right?

I want Yurippe to rape me, yo〜

Mika Sugisaki (32) is in a serious relationship. (´･ω･`) Hang in there, Yurippe!

>77 She's as cute as an idol.

Yurippe is cute.

“風とRAINBOW” has a little Russian folk music in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KODZtjOIPg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X48nmxP8dw8

>77 Who knows? Judging from the thickness of the fingers, I'd say late thirties to early forties.

Is this all there is to the L.L. Series? L.L. Song L.L. Star

Thanks to the lady who uploaded “School Revolution”!! Still no payment email, though lol

2009's “rhythm” is really good.

>83 I really like Russian folk songs, so maybe that's why I got hooked on GARNET. Things like “Troika” and “Katyusha.”

>77 The one with the stinky feet is probably his girlfriend, I think.

>83 “風虹” Someone uploaded a comparison video saying it's similar to the Lupin III theme song...

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

Mochi and the old man are reversed.

>66, right?

“Furui team” sounds like “freeballing.”

One hour left.

Is the venue temperature for SUMMARY set to 28°C too? I'm worried about the members' health with 45 shows lol

Happy birthday, Jin Akanishi!!

Yurippe, happy birthday★

Happy 34th birthday, Yurippe (*^▽^)/

Happy birthday, Yurippe!

>90 I thought the same thing the first time I heard it lol “Over Drive” too. I wonder who Yuri-san is celebrating her birthday with... Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Yurippe. It's GACKT's birthday today too.

Happy birthday, Yurippe (*^□^*)

The payment email came.

I'll love you forever, Yurippe!

Happy birthday, Yurippe〜

Happy birthday, Yurippe!

Yuri is trying way too hard to look young for her age. The ponytail doesn't suit her anymore either.

Idiot, the ponytail totally suits her.

I went to the rental store, but they didn't have Gane's new song (T_T) I haven't heard it yet—how is it?

It's on YouTube.

I'll go watch it o(^-^)o

Happy birthday, Yurippeヽ(´∀｀)ﾉ

Happy birthday, Yurippe (*´∀｀*)

Happy birthday, Yurippe, yo.

Happy birthday, Yurippe Yurippe.

Maybe I'll send a birthday email.

(´･ω･)「Thank you」 (…though I'm too old to have people celebrate my birthday anymore.)

Summer calls for Donmuraya's Azuki Baba.

And yet here I am eating a Morinaga Choco Monaka Jumbo for 63 yen.

Calling someone an old lady at 37 is harsh. At least wait until she's over 42.

>118 That's not true! She's been lucky enough to live this long, and she kept making the music she loves all the way to 34. That makes her reasonably happy, right? That's something worth celebrating. It'll be worth celebrating next year and the year after too.

Maybe the ninth album will come out this fall?

Next year, probably.

Apparently it's GACKT's birthday today too, Yurippe.

The agency's phone lines are completely jammed lol They're in chaos from Arashi concert inquiries and people declining the JUMP Dome tickets.

I love Sakurai Kakeru-kun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBB0hooHcv4 But his songs are boring every time.

I love Ninomiya Oinarisan too. Anyway, this is off-topic.

http://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org1759658.jpg Looks like Yurippe.

Nippon no Arashi arrived from Amazon.

Amazon, hurry up and ship my stuff already lol They've been using Japan Post instead of Sagawa lately, so deliveries are slower.

The agency's phone lines were impossible to get through today. 1. Checking Arashi lottery result emails 2. Canceling JUMP Dome tickets after winning

They say anything pretty looks alike, don't they? lol Maybe your eyesight is bad?

20:00–「HEY×3」　Featuring Hey!Say!JUMP 21:00–「Oja Map」　Featuring KinKi Kids, KAT-TUN 　　　　　　　　　　　　 Kis-My-Ft2, Johnny's Jr.

Apparently July 4 is a holiday in America. Let's make it a holiday in Japan too, as Yurippe's birthday!

Recently I listened to the Best I bought ages ago again. (2000–2005 “夏の幻” was the best song. I think I'll buy a live DVD too.

Fuji TV, enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll give Yurippe my dick as a present.

>129 Yeah, exactly. She looked more similar when she appeared with a ponytail.

Oja Map, hurry up and air the baseball tournament.

B.I.Shadow is hereーーーーー

Happy birthday, Massu!!

(・Å・)

I'll become a comedian and get shotgun-married to Yuri, then divorced.

Comedians are popular, after all. And Yurippe loves comedy, after all.

I want to marry Yuri-san.

Do you guys really like Yurippe that much?

I like AZUKI-san more.

I watched MUSIC FOCUS. Yuri-san was really cute.

I seriously love Yurippe.

Nana the old lady.

Has the new song's tie-in been decided?

>161 Don't call her an old lady.

Did she have sex on her birthday?

Does anyone have Popper-plazma?

Nice shot! Yuri Fudoh (34) gets married! http://kamome.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mnewsplus/1309823090/ Hang in there, Yuri Nakamura (34)!

>162 Not yet. It'll be announced on the official site, so let's wait until then!

>162 The new single will begin airing as the new opening theme for the TV anime “Detective Conan” on August 6! The first-press edition comes with a DVD containing the “Misty Mystery” music clip. It also includes one of five cards with a QR code for downloading a morning-call ringtone voice.

No. 14 for the week, 8,519 copies.

The fanbase has gotten smaller.

Compared with about five years ago, the first-week sales have been cut in half.

>168 Thanks. But the official site doesn't mention any of that...

>168 One of five... What!? I'm not buying multiple copies just for a ringtone...

“花は咲いて” was also No. 14 with 8,940 copies two years ago, so I guess this is what happens when you release a single with barely any promotion.

Even if CDs stop selling, downloads are probably increasing.

Since Nana-san is a Christian, I tried buying a Bible because of her influence. Did anyone else become a believer like that?

So Azuki-san doesn't use condoms because she's a Christian. That makes so much sense now.

DREAMS COME TRUE's DVD came out on June 29 too, the same day as GaneCraw, right? (DoriKamu is so over...)

Honestly, I thought they would drop further. It wouldn't have been surprising if last year's activities had started to feel a little stale, since it felt like they'd reached the end of a chapter. They've kept going for over ten years, so I think they're doing pretty well. As expected, it's because the songs are good.

It's amazing that DVD and single sales are only 3,000 apart.

>184 When you line them up like this, almost none of the singles were misses before the first best album came out.

I want them to release an album collecting all the B-sides.

>184 I thought the effect of a Conan tie-in would be much bigger, but it doesn't seem to be all that huge after all. As for the new song “Misty Mystery,” personally, none of their Conan-related songs have ever been misses, so I'm looking forward to it. (Though “世界はまわると言うけれど” was kind of weak.)

I didn't buy Smiley Nation because I'm broke. Also, the concept has obviously changed and it's really depressing. Though I am looking forward to the next single.

What concept...?

Broadly speaking, you mean the “indie-era and so on” crowd versus the “after that” crowd, right? People have said it a million times already, so learn your lesson.

Kis-My-Ft2 concert lottery results are starting lol

Still, dark songs probably wouldn't sell either.

Can't get through lol “The lines are extremely busy.”

Kis-My fans are calling nonstop, so nobody can get through lol

Speaking of Johnny's, there's Hiromi Go. I own “THE GREATEST HITS OF HIROMI GO,” but I've never listened to it once. Anyway, this is off-topic, you crap.

Only a true Gane expert can appreciate what's good about Smiley Nation.

Can't get through the lottery-result phone line, just like with JUMP lol

>198 Smiley Nation is good, isn't it!

Can't get through at all.

Can't get through lol. I can't check the lottery result.

Sis, I've called 70 times and still can't get through.

Passed 100 calls lol

Nope, I can't get through at all.

Internet idol from Tohoku releases a song produced by B'z support musicians. http://natalie.mu/music/news/52385

Finally got through lol I scored the second show at Yokohama Arena on Saturday, 7/30.

Nana the old lady.

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

Ever since “涙のイエスタデー” made me a fan, Smiley Nation might be my favorite single. “百年の孤独” and “ドゥーインオーライ” were good too, though.

I loved Smiley Nation so much, but I might cheat on it with 八月の夜...

I happened to see Smiley Nation being used as the ending theme for TakaToshi's late-night show and was shocked. Yurippe was cute.

Japan Post doesn't do any work!! I wish a company like this would go under. I'll report them to Amazon and have them terminate their contract with Japan Post.

Conan really came through for us. I'm looking forward to 8/6, when terrestrial digital broadcasting switches over.

>208 Azuki-sama is the only 36-year-old I'd still want to sleep with.

>190 Well, I guess the earthquake probably had something to do with it too. If that's the case, I wish they'd gone in the direction of “Holy ground.”

I thought “Holy ground” was a song about someone overcoming sadness and becoming a monk.

I want to smell Yuri-san's panties.

What backwater is this “holy ground” supposed to be?

Could be Gandhara.

For Nana, I think it'd be somewhere around East Jerusalem lol

Mai Kuraki and Shiraishi from Caos update their blogs constantly and really value their fans, but Gane is basically abandoned. I wonder if they don't care about their fans.

It's true, the staff blog only gets updated occasionally and the members' blogs have been abandoned. Yurippe was the only one who used to update hers, but nobody has written anything this year. I wish they'd update more often.

>222 Even if they care about their fans, it's sad when they only sell 300 copies.

Yurippe is cute.

Nana the old lady.

At this rate, Nana the old lady is going to keep pushing my age range higher and higher.

>213 I don't want to go off-topic, but did you know the postal service is deliberately making things a mess? It's exactly what Kamei wants. Remember the “Kanpo no Yado” affair? In the end, Democratic Party member Haraguchi, who had brought the case, apologized to former president Nishikawa too. Gane? With that jacket, who could buy it at a store? lol

>224 Everything that debuted recently fails to sell.

>166 I don't understand how that ugly Fudoh can get married while Yurippe can't. Maybe there's something wrong with her personality.

>223 Messages from the members themselves are important, right?

>224 Caos only sold 300 copies? lol But aren't they working hard on the blog for those 300 people? lol

For that matter, what even is Caos? lol

Caos's new song: debuted at No. 176 with 322 copies.

>223 Because someone said on Yurippe's diary, “All you ever do is promote things.” She uploads comment videos, so that's good enough, right? And there's Gane-Radio too.

♪ Only you are missing There's a little deficient kid in this thread too. But it feels like that kid is the reason the thread keeps moving. Oh, I can't get through.

I can do anything for Yuri-san.

>168 GARNET CROW is here—the new Conan opening! I preordered both the regular and first-press editions.

http://www.liondo.com/300/MCO/J_GZCA-7166/ Congratulations on the tie-in.

It's Baro. I only watch Conan when Gane has a tie-in.

Yurippe's catchphrase is “...I see.”

It's actually the catchphrase of someone who doesn't really understand—or isn't listening to—the conversation.

So this is the major tie-in...?

>243 I thought exactly the same thing.

I wish Yurippe would appear in a cosmetics commercial like Mai Kuraki. I think she'd pull it off better than Kuraki.

Two B-sides, here they come(^-^)/

Yuri-san is too beautiful...

The album arrived lol The information postcard for the SUMMARY Dome show arrived too, but I have extra Dome tickets, so I won't apply.

The new single will start airing as the new opening theme for the TV anime “Detective Conan” on 8/6! The first-press edition comes with a DVD containing the “Misty Mystery” music video. It also includes one of five cards with a QR code for downloading a morning-call voice.

You. You, I'm talking to you.

I'm happy I'll get to see Okamoto-kun in Zushi next month ＞＜

8 Sakurai 8 Ninomiya 6 Matsumoto 3 Aiba 2 Ohno Something like this, I guess.

There was a card for each of the 16 support musicians in the ZARD newsletter. They had handwritten comments on the back, and Mochi's handwriting was unbelievably ugly. Isn't he embarrassed at his age?

It says “I'd be in trouble without it,” but compared with the other members, it isn't that ugly.

That's his answer to the question, “What does music mean to you?”

It sounds like an elementary-school kid's answer. Even though he's the most educated person at GIZA.

There really are people who decide someone is embarrassing just because their handwriting is ugly. But I don't think ugly handwriting is a problem these days lol It's not important. As long as you do your main job, who cares lol Writing kanji incorrectly or being unable to read them is definitely bad, though lol

Even if someone's handwriting is ugly, they'd write neatly for something like a New Year's card, right?

(This post is hidden.)

sage

Nice handwriting is obviously better than ugly handwriting. Personally, I like people with good handwriting, men and women alike.

>235 Things are that bad? GIZA is going bankrupt, right?

>242 I see lol

>252 On Gane-Radio, she said that during the Great Hanshin Earthquake she was a student taking entrance exams in Higashinada Ward, and lined up for food after the disaster... So maybe her family home is in Higashinada Ward?

How long can GIZA keep going? I wonder if they're surviving on profits from things other than music sales.

Even looking at the Being Group as a whole, music sales seem rough, but GIZA alone looks seriously doomed. They cut Saegusa and Aika Ohno loose, so does that make GC their best-selling act now?

Sumire Sato really is a Gane wota. She seems to like Smiley Nation too.

>268 Who?

>269　An AKB48 girl. I'll give Sumire-tan a pass.

That girl is probably a good kid.

>180 >“Since Nana-san is a Christian, I tried buying a Bible because of her influence.” Idiot! AZUKI Nana just has some knowledge in that area. Ideologically, if anything, she's anti-Christian.

Songs like “Holy ground” kind of sound like they're mocking believers too.

Nana the old lady is such a contrarian.

Wikipedia even says she's a huge GARNET CROW fan. She likes books, apparently, and doesn't care for foreign words or cellphone novels. Hmm, classy〜

>272 If she were anti-Christian, she wouldn't wear a cross necklace... I don't think she hates Christianity, at least.

The panel exhibition at Tower Records Shibuya was tiny lol

If she were a true Christian, she wouldn't think about putting Buddhist sutra wording in her lyrics... Maybe it's just an accessory to create a sense of mystery? Just speculation, lol

She's probably not actually a Christian. Nana-sama is probably interested in all kinds of religions. She is Japanese, after all, and especially interested in Buddhism. ...Though what do I know lol

Oricon weekly music DVD chart 1 AKB 2 BIGBANG 3 Arashi 4 DREAMS COME TRUE 5 GARNET CROW livescope 2010+〜welcome to the parallel universe!〜 6 GARNET CROW livescope 2009〜夜明けのSoul〜 As usual, they're strong on the DVD charts.

What does “らいらいや” mean?

>276 Posts 278–279 already explained it pretty clearly, but I'll add a quick explanation. The defining feature of AZUKI Nana's lyrics is how she relentlessly mocks things like “eternal love,” “fatalism,” and Christian morality. Read the lyrics closely to songs like “今宵エデンの片隅で” and you'll see how biting they are. She may be interested in Christianity, but there's no way she's a believer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT5nttL4NUk&sns=em AZUKI-san is getting a little too full of herself, huh? Reading the cue cards lazily with her elbow propped up is outrageous no matter how you look at it lol You could tell how selfishly she acted even back in the early days.

When I heard she was propping herself up with her elbow, I wondered what she'd done, but that level is fine lol

She was sighing right from the start on HEY×3 lol >Nana-san

They should probably kick her out of GARNET CROW.

>282 “籟・來・也” was like that too. But I think it's possible other songs were also restricted because permission wasn't granted. Who knows? That's why I wonder if the cross necklace might be meant ironically too. It's just speculation, but I don't think you can normally say someone isn't a believer just because they're interested in something.

She said “らいらいや” was a love letter to someone she likes, right?

I shook hands with Sumire Sato the other day. She was beautiful. I should've brought up GARNET CROW〜

Speaking of which, the ending song on Futtanda got replaced by Tanoshingo pretty quickly.

>287 Hey, are you okay? If you think the “trying to put Buddhist sutra wording into the lyrics” example from “籟・來・也” is possible, wouldn't that make it even harder to believe she's Christian?

Furui-san wears a cross necklace too. Go look at the DVD.

>291 Huh? I only said it was possible that it was restricted as an “example.” And unfortunately, although we have no way of knowing what denomination she belongs to, I don't think “putting part of a Buddhist sutra in the lyrics” necessarily means “not Christian.” We don't know what the rejected lyrics said, so it's hard to say anything for sure.

>292 Furui-san probably wears the necklace as a fashion accessory, right? There are tons of people like that lol In Azuki's case, the religious references show up in the lyrics too lol

The Buddhist-sutra thing was probably “夢・花火.”

Furui-san is a Christian. It used to be in the template, I think... Back then, the template also had Nakamura's real name and the story about Okamoto's older brother.

Nana-sama showed up on the staff blog lol

>296 I thought part of that template was just made-up stuff... Things like “Yuri Nakamura = Pei Ruri” and “Jin's younger brother” lol There wasn't any clear source for that stuff, was there? lol

Seriously, what percentage are actual fans? (´･ω･):(＾ω^) = 55:40 (and maybe 5 for everyone else?)

>293-294 Idiot! With your logic, if someone said: “AZUKI Nana wears a necklace as a fashion accessory, and Buddhist terminology appears in her lyrics, so ‘she's actually Buddhist.’” “Putting Christian terminology in the lyrics doesn't mean she isn't Buddhist, either.” You'd have no choice but to shut up, you know.

I don't think using religious terms or mythology as lyrical subject matter proves anything...

Rather than being a believer in any particular religion, she probably just likes it as an academic subject. There's nothing strange about someone who likes literature also dabbling in religion. It's weird to assume someone is completely devoted to an ideology just because their lyrics or clothes contain a few elements of it.

>297 Is the second photo Azuki-san?

I thought it was some weird old lady, but it's Mochi lol Probably.

Where are the videos for GARNET CROW livescope 2009 ?夜明けのSoul? – GARNET CROW livescope 2010+ ?welcome to the parallel universe!? already〜?

>305 Buy the DVDs.

>306 I'm broke right now, so buying both is rough. Which one do you recommend?

>304 But is Okamocchi's hair really that straight?

That is obviously Mochi. The profile is totally Mochi. There's no chest bulge, and his hair looks like that now too. I do think he should change his hairstyle, though lol

The details for “Misty Mystery” are out, and the regular edition alone has two B-sides... They clearly intend to make people buy multiple copies lol

>310 “People will buy them” → “They'll make people buy them.” I mistyped that orz

I've already bought two copies just because the covers were different, so adding another song is a huge bonus. In this day and age, you can always just download one song and call it a day. The card feels like a little extra.

Looks like I have no choice but to buy the regular edition. I'll watch the PV once and be done with it anyway. Still, this sales strategy...

It's like AKB48.

>308-309 By process of elimination, it's Mochi. If it were Nana, I'd know because I always stare at her. Nana's arms aren't that thick and short, and her profile has more definition. Besides, her hair isn't that shiny lol

Could the extra song be an arrangement version?

Promotion for the major tie-in. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20110707-00000305-oric-musi

Casual listeners can buy one copy, and wotas can buy as many as they want. I think it's a sales strategy that fits the market perfectly. Poor wotas complaining because they can't afford multiple copies is the same old story. Nana-sama is probably coolly wondering when they'll realize they should overcome their poverty first.

Guess I have no choice but to buy two. If I can become fertilizer for Yurippe and the others, that's enough for me.

>318 If you don't have money, get a side job lol That's true.

I fell away for about a year, but seeing the Yahoo promotion in >317 made me want to listen to the songs again. Yurippe is so cute in the photo! Cute enough to make me shout. Her lips are sexy as ever... I want to go to a concert again.

The vocalist has a little rosebud mouth.

No, her mouth is huge lol Like O-bake no Q-Taro.

This is a nasty way to sell the new song. Morning-call voice plus five different photos. If I buy two and don't get Yurippe, I'll just accept that I have bad luck. Unless they do something like last year's “Over Drive” event, I'm not buying in bulk. Compared with this “Smiley Nation” release, the promotion is completely different, which bothers me a little.

How are Azuki's playing skills?

Worse than a middle-schooler taking lessons.

The single release is taking forever.

The scalped tickets for the Takoyaki show are selling well. Going rate is 8–9.

How are Yuri-san's skills?

Furui-san is the best on keyboards, then Yurippe, and Nana-san last? Mochi can probably only play chords. It's like he just transfers guitar chords directly onto the keyboard.

Daily albums *1→*1　145,895　“Beautiful World”

>329 Her blowjob skills are amazing.

Nana is plenty good too.

(Her mother ran a piano school from when she was little, and she still plays piano herself.) I haven't thought Nana-san's playing at live shows over the past few years was bad. I prefer a pretty woman playing decently to an ugly woman playing some insanely technical piece. (Honestly, watching Nana-san's grand-piano solo at last year's symphonic show had me sweating bullets too lol)

The keyboard on “水のない晴れた海へ” in STAY might be the best yet...

>324 They only really promote things hard when there's a Conan tie-in.

Whenever it says “Nana-san,” the face of Nana Konomi pops into my head.

The chorus of 八月の夜 is disappointing.

Yurippe gives me the impression that she'd immediately say she's tired and slack off—for her blowjob skills, anyway.

With short hair, Nana kind of looks like Marina Watanabe.

Anyway, I always buy two copies. I'm happy there's more reason to buy two now.

I'm broke, so broke. If I had money, I'd buy all the merch at Oto-dama too.

>323 Are you trying to pick a fight? She's just a little wide, that's all!

■B'z's “Pilgrim,” from their new album “C'mon,” confirmed as the ending theme for the TV anime “Detective Conan”!! >The song “Pilgrim” from the NEW ALBUM “C'mon” has been confirmed as the ending theme for “Detective Conan” on Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV. >It starts airing on 8/6. > >※It will only air for one month, in August.

I wrote down “I want Yurippe to vigorously lick my dick” on a wish strip and hung it from the bamboo in the shopping district.

>344 Are they having trouble finding artists to use?

“rhythm” is insanely cool. My opinion completely changed.

>347 You should thank Kurose.

Nana-sama looks like the type to keep the hair around her anus perfectly groomed.

Mysty Mystery is the dirtiest sales strategy in GARNET history.

It's dirtier than Yuri's pussy.

Don't be ridiculous. Yurippe's pussy is a beautiful salmon pink.

>347 It really is cool. The lyrics are perfect too, so she got her revenge^^

>347 Rather, why was it rated so poorly in the first place?

Can anyone in this world really be more beautiful than Yuri-san?

How are we going to preserve Yuri-san's genes? Could you leave that to me?

Is everyone buying both versions of the new song, first-press and regular?

About Yurippe in the shorts at the panel exhibition: it looks like more of her thighs are exposed than in the YouTube video Being uploaded. Were the shorts a different length at different venues?

>357 Of course I'm buying both. I'm a servant, after all.

Anyway, I absolutely love Yuri-san!

Yurippe is a good person.

I accidentally imagined Yurippe taking off her costume in the bathroom and peeing. Sorry, Nana-sama, on Tanabata of all days.

Yuri-pii hasn't been creampied, right?

Anyway, everyone, don't you always buy both the regular and first-press editions? When there are two versions, aren't you supposed to buy both?

Normally you only buy one. Even if you collect them, you can't take them to the grave.

I understand the first-press edition having bonuses, but making something unlistenable unless you buy both is pretty underhanded.

“Take it to the grave,” lol. How old are you? I've seen guys around sixty at concerts, but I thought they were staff.

I used to buy two. Now I don't buy even one.

Anyone could die at any time.

>366 No. Buying both means there's more to enjoy. Isn't that excellent service?

The sales strategy for “夢・花火” was disappointing too, but at least those were different versions...

Yurippe is overflowing with talent. If she weren't so fixated on GARNET CROW activities, I think she could make a name for herself in instrumental music too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT5nttL4NUk&sns=em Yurippe could make music like this too, right?

I got the link wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUSnwtB4c6Q&sns=em

Yuri-san is too beautiful; living is painful.

>374 Go die, by all means.

I want to make an uncensored sex video with Azuki-san and have Yurippe watch it and give us a score.

I want to ejaculate inside AZUKI-san. I want to teach her the pleasure of being a woman.

Is there going to be a GARNET CROW handshake event for people who bought all the singles and DVDs?

I want to enjoy Yurippe's thighs properly, so I wish someone would upload the DVD to YouTube.

>379 When I was in my early twenties, I was unemployed and living off my parents, but there was a girl I liked... Well, embarrassingly, I was basically stalking her. In the end it became a police matter, and my mother said to me: “I'm glad I learned that you're capable of liking women, but if you actually got together with her, what were you planning to do when you didn't even have a job?” “You can't pay for dates, you can't pay for hotels. Do you really think you can keep a relationship going like that?” “Don't you think it's pathetic to date someone while making her pay for you?” “Maybe you should think this through a little more, lol?” My mother divorced when I was in third grade and raised three children alone. She actually had quite a lot of experience with men and had been through her share of romantic hell too. Because she was that kind of person, what she said carried a lot of weight lol I already knew it myself, which made it hit even harder lol After that I worked seriously—not exactly like a madman, but I worked. I also became close with several women. Though I still rely on rice shipments from my parents' home even now lol Anyway, this got long, but the point is: Nakamura-san, AZUKI-san, if you say you like them as women, then buy their DVDs and CDs yourself. You should fairly support what they've done so they can live their lives without worrying. That's the kind of goodwill we can show them right now.

>380 That kind of missed the point lol

I know all that, okay lol I just couldn't summarize it well lol

>282 Your mom only said obvious things. You should know that without having it spelled out one by one lol

Shut up!! Don't say bad things about 282!!

I'm thinking of buying only the regular edition of Misty Mystery. I don't watch PVs much. If the PV is amazing, maybe I'll buy both.

What song is the PV where Yurippe and Nana-san run around causing trouble with balloons?

It's “Naked Story”... I think.

>380 I laughed my ass off lolllll

>387 Thanks.

Today's broadcast 18:00–「ザ少年倶楽部」

Didn't they say it was going to be a major tie-in? And now it's Conan again. I mean... I mean... hmm lol Leaving behind the GARNET I listen to every day, there's nothing else left at GIZA. Everyone's already gone.

>388 Shut up!! It's not something to laugh about!! It was really rough back then!! Looking back, I was completely out of my mind... Everyone, don't look at the opposite sex through the filter of being in love! There are plenty of wonderful encounters out there.

KAT-TUN's 16th single! “RUN FOR YOU,” the tie-in song for Suzuki's new Solio TV commercial starring all the members. “COSMIC CHILD,” the commercial song for Wing's “ズルイ(R) Bra.” and “ズルイ(R) Pants.” “DIAMOND,” the image song for Nippon TV's pro baseball broadcast “Dramatic Game 1844” and the theme song for Nippon TV's “Going! Sports & News.” Three tie-ins in one.

I want Yurippe to give me a blowjob〜

>394 There really is a man lucky enough to get that. All right, time to get to work.

Hey, just one copy has given us good songs all this time〜 A carefree style that feels like it's stealing our money, you with the heavy makeup and Smiley Nation. If you search out the hidden intent, you can feel the thrill. In the endless hope of rat-a-tat-tat, the strength we can gather, Smiley Nation. If we keep spending money, Yuri's voice will reach us.

“Don't Wanna Lie—Ballad Version” has arrived.

My cash flow has stalled because of the earthquake. I can't buy anything, even with the precious reconstruction business going on. All I can do is dream of paying off my debts this year and going to concerts and events again. Nana-sama〜, if you feel sorry for me, lend me some money〜

I'm depressed.

For traveling to shows, I'm torn between a cheap tour bus and Arashi Air lol

Yuri-san is too angelic...

Yuri-san at 34.

Confirmed for next week's Music Station!!

I want to marry Yuri-san.

Looking forward to Ikimono-gakari coming back on M Station next week.

Why does importing Smiley Nation with WMP (ver. 11) turn it into 今宵エデン?

Huh!?

Wait, Smiley Nation is totally ripping off the song used for the opening of News Station lol

Were Yurippe's shorts at the ParaUni live different lengths at different venues? Anyone who's been to every venue, tell me.

At one venue you could see Yurippe's goods. What a treasure.

It's a weird group where the singles don't sell but the DVDs sell normally.

Just like a gravure idol.

>409 How? (?_?)

I wonder if the Arashi jet will fly again this year.

I wonder when the Yokohama Arena tickets will arrive.

>413 True...

An album will come out in fall or winter anyway.

I want to touch Yuri-san's thighs.

Were Yurippe's shorts at the ParaUni live different lengths at different venues? Anyone who's been to every venue, tell me.

At one venue, you could see the goods too. What a treasure.

Please answer seriously. No jokes.

Miho Komatsu (“Nazo”) → ZARD (“Unmei no Roulette”) → ... → B'z (“Girigiri Chop”) → GaneCraw (“Mysterious Eyes”) Does this mean the company had really high hopes for them when they debuted?

I'm always serious about Yurippe.

Yurippe is cute as hell in the 2009 live. Her lower half is way too sexy, though...

Reasons GARNET CROW doesn't sell: 1. The agency is small. 2. They don't have good fans. 3. The voice is creepy.

Selling well would be nice, but it's fine if they don't sell. Her singing style isn't exactly for everyone.

I started by buying a best album because the vocalist was cute. My first impression was No. 3 from >426, but after repeated listens I got addicted and ended up loving them.

If only they had Dragon Ball...

I filled out a marriage registration form. If I send it to GIZA, will it reach Yurippe?

Anyway, I really love GARNET CROW's music, and I really love Yurippe. Thank you!

>423 They probably did get some preferential treatment. Their debut song came out in two editions, they released singles for three consecutive months afterward, and they had a game tie-in. They released six singles in 2000 alone.

But that also means it was hell for the members themselves lol

Smiley will be shown at No. 13 on Space Shower later.

Yurippe is a genius.

Smiley Nation is good.

>433 Was 2000 when Mochi was taken to the hospital and the old man suddenly started bleeding?

http://www.love-letter.tv/female_star/girls5-na.html

Yurippe smells like cheese.

Yuri-san is too angelic...

Yuri Nakamura 1982/03/15　Yuri Nari 164 cm B80-W56-H84 Type AB From Neyagawa, Osaka. Korean. Korean lolllll

Looking closely, the photo is actually of Yuri Nakamura, isn't it? lol

She got six school years younger. Yay.

I want to have sex with Yurippe.

I want to have sex with Yurippe every day.

So Kwansei Gakuin University was true... She's not only gorgeous, she has an amazing academic background too. I'm impressed.

That website isn't official anyway, right?

Yurippe is from Kyoto? She doesn't use a Kansai accent, does she?

I wish they'd perform “晴れ時計” live...

>441 That's YURI from the former YURIMARI, right? The one from the “具” sauce commercial.

Exactly.

I want to hear some naughty lyrics written by Azukin.

I thought it was that person.

The person from “Pachigi! 2.” I haven't seen the movie, though lol (I liked the first one and even bought the DVD.)

>448 In the STAY making-of, there's a scene where she speaks exactly one line in Kansai dialect. I figure she probably uses Kansai dialect when talking with the members and staff too.

If Yurippe spoke Kansai dialect... wouldn't that be the best thing ever!!!

Yurippe doesn't speak Kansai dialect (which people generally mean by Osaka dialect); she speaks Kyoto dialect. It's not like Akashiya Sanma.

〜dosue

Does AZUKI-san speak Osaka dialect or Kyoto dialect? To an untrained ear, it sounds very refined.

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

Nakamura and AZUKI are both old ladies now... Bring back Hayami Kishimoto as the second vocalist... Akiko Matsuda from Romania Montevideo would be good on keyboard!

Start a new band lol

I'd prefer Tetsuya Komuro.

Is Yurippe waiting for a prince on a white horse to come rescue her? For 34 years... and from now on too...

She's having a good time with Mochi.

>459 I think it's Osaka dialect. The reason it sounds refined is simply that AZUKI-san's way of speaking is like that.

Happy birthday, Rikito Murata (HipHopJUMP)!!

Happy birthday, Yuto Niigaki (7WEST)!!

So that means she graduated from vocational school too, right?

If I married Yuri-san, what kind of life would be waiting for me?

>425 What do you mean her lower half is too sexy? Wasn't she wearing pants?

Smiley Nation is No. 10 for the week on CDTV＼(＾o＾)／

CDTV　No. 10

CDTV No. 10.

Smiley Nation was No. 10 on CDTV!

Congrats on No. 10 for the week! By the way, here's a commercial starring the actress who's often confused with Yurippe. http://www.kewpie.co.jp/know/cm/gu_sauce/gu_sauce_03.html

Yurippe has been categorized under “semi-nude mature women.”

I want to smell Yuri-san's panties.

So what's the total sales figure?

Former Ya-Ya-yah member Shouno Yamashita and his younger brother Reo Yamashita, a former Johnny's Jr. member, are restarting activities as the “Yamashita Brothers”! Two events in August.

Shuichi is good.

Johnny's agency info is annoying.

I watched the anime because one of their songs was used as the ending for Monkey Turn, and doesn't Yuri-san look like Sumi?

I think today's the day the National Stadium group gets their lottery-result emails.

A lot of GARNET fans buy by mail order, so their sales don't really track Oricon's daily chart.

They're a group kept alive by their core fans, after all.

Does Amazon only count toward the weekly chart?

I've been a fan for four years, since after ZARD passed away.

>438 I sent an email and they corrected it.

Yuri-san is too beautiful...

I was relieved that they somehow debuted at No. 10 on CDTV. Considering how little exposure they get, I think they did pretty well.

>492 Agreed.

Why don't they appear on music shows? Yurippe has a great singing voice.

2011/09/07 “THE FINAL JOURNEY” Aya Kamiki Her final album marking the end of her music career has been confirmed.

If she can't get married at 34, does that mean there's something wrong with her personality? Or are her standards just really high?

Her personal and professional lives must both be fulfilling. That's probably why her standards are so high.

There are plenty of unmarried women in their thirties. Bringing up a topic like that just shows you're ignorant and clueless.

>496 Aya Kamiki has been appearing in dramas one after another lately. Is she switching to acting?

Why does Rie flaunt her cleavage like that? Does she want people to look?

Is Yurippe's recent makeup copying Aya Kamiki?

>497 An affair.

Yuri-san might already be married, you know? Maybe she was married when she debuted.

>498 Her life is definitely fulfilling.

>503 Yurippe couldn't possibly have an affair.

Yurippe is cute.

>501 She must want people to look lol

Is Yuri really a virgin?

They say artists who stop selling gradually lose staff, so maybe Gane has about half as many staff as they did at debut too.

Thinking about Yuri-san makes my chest hurt.

I got to fool around with Yurippe in a dream. I'm so happy.

I keep thinking I should fill out the Smiley Nation entry postcard soon, but I don't know what to write for the comments. What kind of things is everyone writing? Is it fine to put something casual like: “It was such a super-happy song that it made me feel happy☆”?

I dreamed about Mochi(´･ω･｀) He was practicing guitar before an event(´･ω･｀) Just fill out the Smiley Nation questionnaire however you want(´･ω･｀)

Tokyo is insanely hot. But when I listen to GC and think about Yurippe, I don't even need air conditioning (lol)

I don't know much about music, and if I just listen with my soul and simply love it, what am I supposed to write?

The questionnaire? Just write down exactly how you feel.

Apparently Yurippe is getting married soon too.

Don't talk about her private life. Let her be happy.

>506 That's right. Neither Yuri nor Nana could have an affair. A woman who values sleep above everything else doesn't have the guts to cheat.

I don't think sleep and cheating are related lol Whether she's cheating or married, I don't care as long as she keeps making good songs.

I want Yurippe to appear on “Tetsuko's Room” and imitate Tetsuko right in front of her.

Yesterday I dreamed I was having sex with Yurippe. I woke up feeling happy, but my underwear felt weird. I had a bad feeling, and sure enough, I'd had a wet dream. A muggy smell hit my nose. At that moment, I felt an indescribable emptiness.

Being happy because you had sex, plus having wet dreams, is very virgin-guy behavior.

Yurippe is probably having sex with her boyfriend nonstop in private, while her fans are feeling sorry for themselves.

So what? That's her personal freedom.

AZUKI Nana is cuter. Yurippe used to be cuter, but she lost her charm when she lost her youthful look.

>165 Was there really something like that?

“Arashi” launches a campaign to promote Japan's recovery and tourism, releases video On the 11th, four months after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Japan Tourism Agency held a campaign to attract tourists to Japan at Iikura Guest House in Tokyo. The five members of the popular group Arashi, who serve as the Tourism Agency's “Tourism Nation Navigators,” attended the event. They screened a video titled “Message from Japan,” expressing gratitude for support from around the world after the disaster as well as their determination to rebuild. The video shows the five members visiting tourist destinations around Japan, and will be shown on outdoor screens and other displays in more than 133 countries and regions starting that day. Arashi member Jun Matsumoto appealed to viewers: “Japan is gradually getting its energy back, so please come visit Japan's tourist destinations.”

AZUKI7 is really 38 this year? Seriously? She's so young-looking and beautiful.

Daily albums *1*1*1*1*1-*1　32,619　“Beautiful World”

>536 A beauty whose face and figure haven't changed at all.

Yurippe would be perfect if she had huge boobs.

As a fan of small breasts, I'm happy with her just the way she is.

Yurippe is the best.

If Yurippe had huge boobs, Nana played drums, and Mochi were tall, Gane would've sold a lot more.

Yurippe is great!

They might've sold more for a moment, but they'd probably have had a shorter run than they do now〜.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN7lBOdmT5g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GEm7L3y-Yk She actually dreams of having huge boobs too. Nana's breasts look soft.

I think Yuri is perfect, including the size of her breasts.

Why does the regular edition have more songs? lol They really messed up lol

The National Stadium group still hasn't gotten their lottery-result emails... I'm not in the National Stadium group, but I'm going into the Imperial Capital for SUMMARY, so I'll be heading in with them.

I guess it's a choice between a DVD and one extra song. The song titles are pretty lame. Is Azuki not even trying?

I just preordered both the first-press limited and regular editions. Praying it's a good song(´･ω･｀)

There was “Yellow Moon,” and now we get “Silver Moon,” huh lol

Next it'll be Sailor Moon.

Who would Yurippe and Nana each be good at cosplaying?

Yurippe's lovable sweetness.

Yuri-san is too beautiful...

Yurippe.

Yurippe loves comedy, so maybe Oriental Radio wrote her into a show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUfzsOBDaC0&sns=em

>545 They keep making her busty, then giving her gal makeup. She's really lost her way.

I wish they'd do another project like Garnet Time. If they streamed promos or concert rehearsals on YouTube, it'd help promote them, and might contribute a little to sales too.

I want to have car sex with Yurippe by Lake Yamanaka.

You shouldn't do that.

In the DVD 2009 review: >(...) There was apparently a scene where Nana casually said something about Nakamura's hairstyle, making Nakamura panic, >but it seems that scene wasn't included. (ry kysk! Please.

Maybe Yurippe is starting to go bald...

>547 What's the source? I checked the official site, and the B-side is still untitled.

Kansai Johnny's Jr. appearance, Takoyaki Shochikuza. Lottery results are starting. Can't get through lol

Sis, I can't get through.

Sis, I won tickets for my preferred date. Now my life is going to be full of traveling to shows.

I can't wait to see Yurippe's swimsuit in Zushi(⌒▽⌒)

>578 Compare it with the single sales.

Smiley Nation works better than Alinamin V, and 八月の夜 works better than Alinamin R.

Lots of people are going to the Zushi event. I checked my ticket, but my queue number is pretty far back. I'll bring binoculars and enjoy it from a distance.

Yurippe.

I think Yuri is an angel who descended to earth.

Though she is an old lady.

I'll masturbate to Yuri and go to sleep.

Don't you feel embarrassed writing stuff like this? At least spell “mystery” correctly.

They even spelled adrenaline wrong.

“Spiral” “Sky Blue” “今宵エデンの片隅で” are masterpieces.

This chorus sounds like a completely different voice too. She's good. http://www.56.com/u11/v_NjAzNzI2NjQ.html

“夢みたあとで” is a masterpiece too.

Live videos are DVD-only, right? Why don't they release them on Blu-ray?

Nana-sama on the Smiley Nation regular-edition cover looks exactly like announcer Hitomi Nakamura.

When is Yurippe getting married〜?

Yurippe's face is definitely changing... Not just more wrinkles; the shape of her face itself is changing. The upper half seems to have caved in, and her head looks longer.

Even if I〜 become an old lady〜♪

I saw the latest Yurippe in the comment videos for Music Focus and MJ Request. She was as wonderfully special as ever.

Where's the album already? （･∀･ ）っ/凵⌒☆ﾁﾝﾁﾝ

I'll do my best again today for Yuri-san.

National Stadium lottery results are starting; stay calm until the emails arrive lol

BREAKERZ hit No. 3 on the daily chart.

National Stadium acceptance emails are being sent.

Watching the live DVD lets you savor the happiness of having been in the same space as Yurippe all over again.

>616 I totally get it. Having someone you look up to is truly a blessing.

National Stadium rejection emails are being sent.

Thinking that I'm breathing air exhaled by Yurippe and Nana-san makes my heart burn. If you're in the front row, maybe you can even get some spit...

Sweat too.....

You can smell cigarette smoke from really far away too, so they're definitely breathing air they've exhaled.

I hope they do another standing-room live at a venue this year.

>622 Please don't! I'd have to stand the whole hour-long wait, and I need to use the bathroom constantly. The venue's air conditioning is so strong that, if I'm unlucky, I'd end up spraying diarrhea everywhere.

The people in the front row are definitely getting sprayed with Yurippe's spit. The spit of a 34-year-old mature woman.

It's not that close, you won't get sprayed lol

Yuri probably likes being sprayed.

No, spit would normally reach that far. Just coughing can send it flying over five meters.

>626 No one gets to call her by her first name except her husband!

Just seeing the words “Yurippe's spit” gets me hard.

I can't wait for Zushi.

I want to see Yuri-san in a swimsuit...

All this “swimsuit” talk—does Yurippe actually sing in a swimsuit?

>632 No, definitely not lol Yuri-san would probably look great in hot pants and a T-shirt.

And she's flat-chested.

Yurippe is actually stacked.

Someone please upload the ParaUni live DVD footage.

Some people complained when the project was announced, but I was really happy to high-five Yurippe and the others. I love music, I love Yurippe, I admire them, and getting to meet them directly made me so happy.

When you meet someone in person, you might see sides you don't like, but somehow you still can't bring yourself to hate them lol

I want to touch Yuri-san's thighs.

You can become strangers so easily.

Everyone's always going on about Yurippe... I'll keep an eye on AZUKI Nana.

Yurippe seems like she'll get married eventually, but if Nana is single now, I feel like she'll stay that way forever. Though she might already be married.

I don't think Nana-san is the type to fit herself into the box of marriage.

Congrats to the sis who won the National Stadium lottery!! Next lottery results: New Year's Takoyaki → Nagoya → Fukuoka.

I think Nana herself probably hopes to find a good partner.

Nana-san, tell us the truth! You're married, aren't you! There's no way someone that beautiful was left alone. Or are you raising a whole undefined number of servants? More importantly, when is the Tokyo live show? I want to know soon.

Azuki-san probably has some personality issues.

But I'm sure there are people whose personalities fit hers. It just depends on whether she meets one.

Yurippe isn't getting any younger, so she should give up the ponytail and get a bob. It'd be cute, and a change would definitely be good.

Yuri-san looks good no matter what she does.

Staff Diary was updated. Nana-sama is beautiful.

I'll do my best again today for Yuri-san.

>651 For real—�d! Nana-sama is too beautiful. So cute. I wonder what book she's reading.

I want to tell her to keep going.

Popular Johnny's group Hey! Say! JUMP will provide the Japanese theme song for “The Smurfs,” a cute 3D fantasy movie featuring members Ryosuke Yamada and Yuri Chinen as the main cast of the dubbed version. The song is the new single “Magic Power,” scheduled for release in September, the same month the movie opens. Along with a cute sound, it directly sings the Smurfs' motto—“Even if we're small, we can do anything if we work together!”—with lines like “There must be nothing that's impossible! We'll join forces!” and “Together, it's happiness.” The song was written around the film's themes, with Yamada and Chinen voicing the major characters Clumsy and Brainy, respectively, in their first voice-acting roles. Expressing in Hey! Say! JUMP's own style the mysterious power born from bonds between friends, the song is packed with the appeal of both the group and the movie, making it truly a song for the film. It is sure to make the Smurfs' adventure, brought to life by the voices of Yamada and Chinen, even more exciting. “The Smurfs” brings the tiny Smurfs created in 1985 by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford (known as Peyo) to the screen as a “hybrid 3D” film combining live action and the latest animation. It follows the adventure that begins when the Smurfs, driven from their village by the evil wizard Gargamel, are swallowed by a suddenly opened hole and dumped in the middle of New York. “The Smurfs” opens nationwide on September 9, including at TOHO Cinemas Yurakucho.

In the Smiley Nation PV, there's someone who looks like Hanako Yamada.

Nana-san's slightly chubby nose is cute. Beautiful people stay beautiful even as they age lol

The JUMP email came lol Nothing but trips to the Imperial Capital lolllll

Ciao〜(*^^*) Today we only had one practice session, in the evening. In our free time, we watched footage of the Germany match together, or DVDs of variety shows... And in my room, there's a certain DVD playing almost every day. “Arashi.” My roommate Iwashi is a huge Arashi fan, known to everyone who knows her! She loops the three-disc Arashi DVD that came out before we went to Germany. It plays so often that even I memorized songs that only appear on the albums lol I also remember quite a bit of the talking between concert songs〜 lol And sweet Iwashi keeps rewinding it to show me Arashi's appeal: “Hey, hey〜 this MatsuJun smile is super cute〜!” “Ah, this Sho-kun is hilarious☆” She even rewinds it over and over to explain every little thing! I don't even like Arashi that much! lol Or so I thought... But after spending time with Iwashi, I might've started to like them too!! (Bandwagon lol) Before every match, we watch an Arashi DVD and head to the venue at MAX energy. That's us.

The last official diary update was December 28, 2010. Isn't that slacking off a little too much? w

The diary's closed now; it's staff-only.

Yuri-san is way too angelic...

As long as they take their music seriously, that's all that matters. Anyone who neglects both production and live shows while putting all their effort into blogs and Twitter isn't a singer.

★ Release Celebration Special Event — Live & Handshake Event ★ B.B. Queens' release celebration special event for the new album “ROYAL STRAIGHT B.B.QUEENS” has been announced!! To celebrate the new album “ROYAL STRAIGHT B.B.QUEENS,” going on sale Wednesday, July 20, events will be held at three venues in Kanto, Chubu, and Kansai!! A live show with all the members! There'll also be a handshake event after the show!

It's precisely because their music activities are no good that they have to go out and do promo work.

I'm thinking of buying every song that isn't on an album through digital music distribution. Anyone got a list? ＞＜

Yurippe's diary can be read in MFM once every four months.

“strangers” is way too much of a god-tier song, Yuri-san...

I'll Yuriny and go to sleep.

>668 Because she's a fine one...

“strangers” sounds exactly like Iemon's “Kyukon.”

Summer Illusion~

>672 Isn't it “The Crack-up,” not “strangers”? (･з･).:∵ﾌﾞｯ

I'll do my best for Yuri-san again today.

Happy 14th birthday, Shintaro Morimoto-kun, July 15. Looking forward to seeing Shin-chan do great things from here on out w

Where's the thread about Yuri-san's upper arms?

Where's the thread about Nana-san's nasolabial folds?

Yuri-san is way too beautiful...

I've watched “stay” about ten times. Yurippe really is great.

You can't compare Avex and Giza. As long as Yurippe and the others are having fun with their activities, that's good enough for me.

I'll Yuriny and go to sleep.

I wanna smell Yuri-san's panties.

I wonder what Yurippe does on her days off. Maybe she goes on dates?

I wonder if Yurippe plays PlayStation 3.

Yurippe is an Xbox fan.

DS fan.

>705 I hope she goes grocery shopping at the supermarket wearing vibrating panties.

Good morning, Yurippe.

Sumanē on a morning off, nice!

ｄ(´・∀・｀)モチッ !

I want to ejaculate inside Nana-sama.

I'll do my best for Yuri-san again today.

Azuki-san's a gourmet, so she probably eats lots of semen and stuff.

Yurippe's private parts smell.

I want to marry Yuri-san.

Can't wait for Zushi!

Yurippe is taking a hot-springs trip with her boyfriend over the long weekend.

Nice fail at sockpuppeting.

Around what time will the Zushi live end?

16:40–17:00　　Hi roko Momochi 17:15–18:00 18:15–19:00 19:15–20:00 20:15–21:00　　GARNET CROW Something like this, I guess.

I want to walk around town holding hands with Yuri-san.

>716 It should smell like peaches.

The Yurippe-is-a-lesbian theory.

I'm going to have a mixed bath with Yurippe at a mountaintop hot spring during summer vacation.

Why is Yuri-san so incredibly beautiful?

Disappointing boobs.

I meant to buy a ticket for GARNET CROW's appearance at the August 10 Zushi live, but I accidentally bought one for Junji Inagawa's ghost-story show on August 11 instead lol

Go to both.

Hey, where's the info on livescope2011 already?

Before that, there's the fan club event. They'd better do high-fives.

Yurippe has huge tits.

Yurippe's got huge nipples too.

I wanna touch Yuri-san's thighs.

Maybe Yurippe really does have surprisingly big boobs? http://www.rupan.net/uploader/download/1310908795.jpg Was her lower half really this thick and curvy too...

>737 That almost made me cum.

Yurippe is a goddess.

>737 Yurippe is scary when she's like this.

Love Long Star is such a great song, but the version at the countdown live got ruined by that cowboy-hat guy's masturbatory, self-indulgent final zundoko-zundoko... It's not just this song, either.

I feel like I'm about to soil my pants again.

Following Nana's example, I've started taking up reading.

Genius.

>741 It's not “Long Star” lol

Because it's the difference between the bust and underbust measurements. I think Yuri-san is a D cup.

Yurippe is an A cup. With padding, she'd be a D, though.

>737 (｀･ω･)つ「くらえ！どどん波！！」 (;■ω■)「ええっ！？」 (´；ω；)

Ah, come on! Yurippe really is wonderful!!

>737 m9(･ω･´)

Yuri-san is way too beautiful...

Before she sang “Yume Mita Ato de” at Ninnaji, I saw some seriously huge boobs. Estimated G–H cup.

I wanna get squeezed by Nana a whole lot ry

>737 What event is this photo from? I've never seen it before.

Maybe it's footage from the making-of included on the 2009 DVD.

>2009 You mean the DVD that came out just the other day?

>756 You mean the DVD that came out just the other day?

Yeah.

Yep, the making-of from Livescope 2009, which only came out a few days ago. (It also includes part of the countdown live.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMi_KPo82IQ So what are Yurippe's boobs actually like?

If it's a making-of, does that mean there's footage of the photo in 737? Can we see Yurippe moving around in the outfit that makes her look busty?

How desperate are you...? Quit waffling and just buy it...

>762 She is busty, so you should buy it.

>764 Is there footage of the busty outfit from the photo in 737 moving around?

There is making-of footage.

>766 I know there's making-of footage. What I want to know is whether there's footage of the busty outfit from the photo in 737 moving around.

There is.

If you want it as wank material, buy 2010. Those thighs in the zettai ryouiki have insane destructive power.

In the footage of the busty outfit from the photo in 737 moving around, if she's really that busty, can't you see her cleavage?

Maybe this has already been mentioned, but the new song at the end of August has one extra B-side on the regular edition, and the first-press edition comes with a ringtone voice or something? Are they really allowed to do that?

I was wrong. Not a ringtone voice, but a DVD. Do I choose the B-side or the DVD...

You'd buy both, right? I bought Sumanē too.

>770 Just shut up and buy it already lol

>771 Don't complain over a burden of around 1,000 yen. It's not like you buy dozens of CDs a year...

I guess I'm a Nana-san fan after all. There can't be anyone more beautiful than her. I think the word “beautiful” exists for Nana-san.

I thought the thread had suddenly taken off since last night, but it's the usual topic again... Still, I can't help agreeing with >754 lol

Yurippe in the “On Tamashii” look seems like she'd have been upgraded to a D cup.

◆ Naho Kawasumi is an “aiko” fan, and Azusa Iwashimizu is an “Arashi” fan The power songs Naho Kawasumi, who scored two goals in the semifinal against Sweden, listened to were aiko and Arashi. Kawasumi is especially a huge aiko fan, worshipping her almost like a god. Also, Arashi, whom Azusa Iwashimizu loves, was played on DVD every day in the hotel room she shared with Kawasumi, and they listened together. (Continues around >2–>5.)

>776 I know Nana-san is beautiful. But there is no one in this world more wonderful than Yurippe.

Did the GARNET time special video that was uploaded to YouTube get taken down?

I'm buying the regular edition of the new single. I just want to hear as many songs as possible.

Exactly. There's no point in buying both.

>781 Looks like they're disappearing little by little. Several songs from the 2010 live have disappeared too.

Stuff from every musician is gradually disappearing.

The next vocalist will be Sayuri Iwata...

“Kaze to Nanairo no Neko” B-side: “Ultra Soul”

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

I want to stretch Yurippe's labia majora to the limit.

>776 Surely you're not talking only about her looks. I've never heard lyrics that beautiful. Even if Nana wasn't particularly cute, I'm sure I would've fallen for her anyway.

>784 So it really did disappear... I liked that one too.

I'll amplify Yurippe's ecstasy to the maximum for you.

>791 m9(･ω･´) “Here you go!” http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODU0ODcyNTI=.html

>791 m9(･ω･´) “Oops, wrong one!” http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTkyNTQwMzY4.html

>794 Oh! Thanks!

>788 I'm getting tired of that one.

If Yurippe got married, her fanbase would probably shrink a ton.

Everyone enjoys things in their own way. For me, Nana-san's lyrics exist so I can enjoy listening to Yurippe's voice. I've never sat down and carefully read the lyric cards. When it's a Yurippe song, I want to listen to it carefully no matter how many times.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/samplems-bakufu/archives/51252481.html Rika Hoshimi The pink swimsuit photo in the first image looks like Nana-san. Yurippe, Nana-san, Rio Rika.

For a second, I thought their eyes looked kind of similar.

>799 Not bad, I guess.

Not bad, I guess. *fap fap splurt*

>799 They don't look anything alike. Nana-sama is way cuter.

>797 If the pervert fans decrease, I think it'll be good because the normal-fan population can grow.

>603 Yuri-san is really good. This site is nice.

I want to eat Yuri-san's home cooking.

“Mijiru-hime Yuri” kind of looks like Yurippe.

It does kind of look like her lol How do you even manage to find stuff like this? lol

Japan goes wild together just because they won a soccer match. Gross. They're all gorilla-faced ugly bitches.

Yurippe as a married woman is attractive in her own way too.

>809 Wipe your tears, you damn Korean.

Where's Mochi's comment? He's the soccer fan, right?

I want them to make the “Hare Tokei” PV into 3D.

Yurippe is back at work starting today. Must be tough on a 34-year-old old body.

I'm going to attend Otodama in a bulging swimsuit. I'll make Yurippe look at me.

I had a terrifying dream that Nana-sama had become senile. You might think she's always kind of out of it anyway, but Nana-sama actually losing her mind would be something else. Please stay healthy and keep a sound mind until you've lived your whole life. If it ever comes to that, I'll give you my brain.

I dreamed I kissed Yurippe.

>816 She just isn't good at expressing herself; it's not that she isn't sharp.

I'm gonna swim in the typhoon sea with Yurippe.

Yurippe has a float, so she won't drown.

I went and deposited the money for the navy tickets at M Bank in the middle of the typhoon winds lol

Was Disc 3 of “The BEST History of GARNET CROW at the crest” remastered too? If so, I want to rebuy it.

That part, “the wind, far up in the sky~” is just too wonderful.

So they are in the black after all. The next single has the company's fate riding on it.

Arashi's Ninomiya's second cousin Ninomiya Kazuya keeps hitting home runs... Kanagawa tournament ◆ 93rd National High School Baseball Championship Kanagawa Tournament　▽Third round　Yokohama Sogakukan 11–7 Aikawa (18th, Matano Park/Yokohama University of Pharmacy) “Nino” is causing an “Arashi” in battle-hardened Kanagawa. Yokohama Sogakukan won handily thanks to two hits, among them one by No. 5 right fielder Kazuya Ninomiya (third year). The second cousin who shares both a surname and given name with Kazuya Ninomiya (Kazunari) of the popular idol group Arashi has advanced to the fourth round on his way toward his first appearance at Koshien. Spring-selection champion Tokai University Sagami also advanced to the fourth round with a six-inning called-game win. In Iwate, Kamaishi, which suffered devastating tsunami damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake, came from behind to beat Ichinoseki Gakuin with a concentrated barrage in the eighth inning. With indomitable spirit, they defeated last summer's representative school and made the round of 16. As Typhoon No. 6 approached and the lightly overcast sky seemed to foreshadow the arrival of a storm, “Nino” sprinted across the field. Leading off the eighth in a tie game, Ninomiya reached on a single up the middle, then scored from second on a single to right by the No. 7 batter, touching home with the go-ahead run. “I was happy because I thought this one run would decide it.” The cheering section, worked into a frenzy like at an Arashi concert, answered his fist pump with cries of “Nino!” Arashi's Ninomiya is his grandfather's brother's grandson, making him a second cousin. The kanji in their names are also the same because his father, Kazuei (53), gave him one of his characters. The idol is “Kazunari,” while the hero is “Kazuya.” At the coincidence, he smiled shyly: “Thanks to my name, people take notice of me. I was given a good name.” His nickname is, of course, “Nino.” When Arashi debuted in 1999, his grandmother Sumi (who passed away five years ago) once saw the name and called, mistakenly thinking “Kazuya is on TV.” He's a high-school baseball player who can sing and dance too. When he goes to karaoke with friends, he regularly scores over 90 points. His signature song is, naturally, Arashi's hit “Love So Sweet.” He was also good enough at dancing to appear on TV several times around age five. He had all the qualifications to join Johnny's, but Ninomiya chose baseball, saying, “I'm not handsome enough.” Influenced by his father, who played amateur baseball, he started playing in first grade. With Kawasaki Boys, he was a pitcher and outfielder, and in both the spring and summer of his third year of middle school, he reached the prefectural tournament's final four as the No. 3 left fielder. He was a right-handed pitcher with a top speed of 137 km/h and made the bench in the fall of his first year of high school, but after surgery on his right elbow he switched to the outfield. “He's a fun-loving player who can run, hit, and field. His arm and hitting are good,” says head coach Seiichi Morita (46), who has great faith in him. He has two dreams he wants to fulfill. One is to appear at Koshien. The other is to meet the second cousin he has “never spoken to.” “I'd love for him to come cheer me on at the biggest stage,” he says, eagerly awaiting a meeting with the “original” at Koshien. “In the future, I want to become a comedian and appear on a show together,” says Ninomiya. With ten home runs in his high-school career, he seized a regular spot this spring. As he advances through fiercely competitive Kanagawa, Kazuya Ninomiya is becoming a Koshien idol.

>826 The sound on the BEST version does seem clearer. I was surprised when I saw a used copy at Furuhon Ichiba the other day for around 6,500 yen. Book Off was around 4,500 yen too. Good thing I bought it new.

Hmm. It's a little expensive to rebuy without being certain. Though in my case it's more of a mental thing; in reality, I probably couldn't tell the difference even if I listened.

Yuri-san is way too beautiful...

Does GARNET get to make the music they like?

No evidence or anything, but Mochi seems dissatisfied... somehow.

>834 Even if Okamoto is dissatisfied with the music, he seems satisfied with the jackets.

>832 I think so too.

Is Mochi dissatisfied? He can do solo work too, so he seems pretty satisfied.

They say the single passed 10,000 copies, but there are probably lots of people, myself included, who buy the regular edition when they buy a poster at a live show. It'll probably reach 20,000 in the end.

The gods sometimes give birth to geniuses like Yurippe.

Did anyone from GARNET appear at this year's ZARD 20th-anniversary live?

Isn't it Nana and Furui who are dissatisfied? I feel like they're pushing the two younger members.

>840 Going by the photos in MFM, it looks like Mocchi did appear.

They're still hyping up a dead person and doing these ○th-anniversary things...?

That just shows how great she was.

It's supply and demand, basically. People who want to make money and people who want to buy things. And dying while you're still popular is a real pain. Gane's gonna live until people get sick of them.

Only Mochi was at the ZARD live. Also, hasn't Mochi said for a while now that he doesn't plan to push GARNET?

The feeling that Mochi is unnecessary gets stronger by the day.

>847 I think Okamoto-san is absolutely necessary. If you're saying the only world-class talent in GARNET isn't needed, then I guess that's that. He could easily make it on his own without clinging to GARNET either. It feels like SUPER LIGHT didn't get a fair evaluation because it was judged as just another part of GAR. It gets highly rated overseas, though. I really want them to release his solo live on DVD soon. I want to see a real music DVD, not one of those princess-play DVDs made entirely for self-satisfaction.

>848 Who exactly says he's acclaimed overseas? (lol) He's staying with GARNET because he can't make it solo. Don't say stuff like that until you've sold more solo than GARNET.

>849 GAR barely sells anything in Japan, yet you're acting all triumphant. Besides, bands Okamoto-san participates in do gain at least some regular fans, so that's a rude way to put it. It's an undeniable fact that musicians around the world recognize Hitoshi Okamoto's guitar playing and singing ability. It's only because of some Nakamura fans that he gets an unfair evaluation. Don't worry—there's not even a one-in-ten-thousand chance that Nakamura and Okamoto-san are dating lol

Whatever, but you can tell, even against your will, that the two aren't dating ww

>851 Last year there were a few Nakamura fans who talked like they were a couple because the two toured together for Mini Cro. I guess they don't understand that a popular guy like Okamoto-san would never give some old hag the time of day lol

Mochi seems to be treating Gane like a day job. It's not a band where he can put 100% of what he wants to do into it, but he takes his guitar work seriously as a job. Though that's how most major-label musicians are.

Praising Mocchi is fine, but stop hurling abuse at Yurippe.

By overseas, do you mean Asia?

>852 It's kind of pointless to reply to a weirdo, but the people saying that were female Mochi fans lol

On the radio, someone asked them whether traveling around together made them fall for each other.

What source says “the world recognizes him”?

>858 Don't feed the troll.

Mochi is cute, unable even to fill Pan Factory.

>857 Even if you spend time together, someone who isn't going to fall for you won't. Especially when it's a workplace relationship.

Vocalist Yuri Nakamura seems to age slowly, or at least she doesn't look much different from ten years ago.

They could get together. They just don't.

So Okamocchi and Yurippe really were doing it after all. I'm jealous.

Kis-My-Ft2—got the absolute worst seats, last row of the upper deckーーーーwww Never going again lol

“The world,” huh.

So damn boring.

Mentai result emails are going out.

Still nothing.

Ugh.

I still wanna see Mentai lol

Double shit.

A postcard from the fan-club office arrived lol Postal service, do your damn job www Service has gone downhill since privatization.

For Yuri-san, I'll do anything.

>874(´･ω･)「Wipe out the Johnny's fans.」

That's difficult.

Ugh.

Mentai winning emails are going out. So are emails saying you lost all shows.

Yurippe is a good girl.

>862 I think she looks a lot older. Especially in the 2010 live—her makeup was so heavy it put me off.

Yurippe is cute.

>880 It really was a shock, huh? The makeup was so heavy, and then there was all that princess playacting. But Mysterious Eyes in the 2009 live was great, right?

Azuki-san on the official homepage is starting to look more and more like that slightly sexy aunt among your relatives.

Does Giza even have any motivation? They've left the official site unattended, the staff blog gets updated only when they feel like it, and Shiraishi-san at Caos seems washed up too. Do more promotion already.

>883 You mean a sexy older sister, right? Women only start getting attractive in their late thirties.

Giza can't sell, and it tastes delicious.

So Tanabata was AZUKI Nana's day, huh?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WicUtMZT6cU&sns=em Yurippe talks pretty clearly and energetically here. She puts on that meek act way too much in daily life lol

doa announced their Otodama appearance time and everything, but wasn't their policy supposed to be that they wouldn't announce the order or anything? Is Giza okay? Are they going to announce when Yurippe and Okamoto-san appear too?

When is that crappy Giza company going to go bankrupt already?

Yurippe looks good in a cap.

Show more of your upper arms, Yuri-san. I'll ogle you like I'm licking you all over.

It's summer, so I want her to show her armpits. I want to lick the stubble she missed shaving.

I used to think I'd hate it if they transferred, but now I'd rather they move to somewhere more competent.

I'll listen to “August Night” and go to sleep again tonight. Yurippe's singing voice really gets under your skin.

Yuri-san's upper arms in the “Yume Mita Ato de” PV are way too plump...

The waist area in the “Yume Mita Ato de” PV is pretty sexy too.

You guys were looking at me with eyes like that? (;`皿´)

Yeah.

Don't say bad things about Yuri-san, you guys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WicUtMZT6cU Kurose casually calling Yurippe “Yurippe,” from 5:54 onward.

Furui-san is GARNET's public-facing leader, but the real leader is Kurose Kaichi.

Yurippe and Furui-san get along well, huh.

I don't know if he's the leader lol, but he does have the most live experience.

They should just make him an official member already.

I bet Nana-san has a huge traditional Japanese tattoo on her back.

>902 Then Yurippe is the behind-the-scenes leader lol

There have been albums with two first-press editions that had different bonuses, and even cases where the regular edition's bonus was a rearrangement. So why are people complaining about this bonus, a new song that's as generous as it gets?

I'm going to draw a proper Doraemon on the breasts of Yurippe sleeping next to me.

>843 You apparently don't know that Izumi Sakai of ZARD bowed her head to the agency and asked them to please nurture GARNET CROW carefully above all others, which is why they've been able to continue without breaking up. Otherwise, they would've been disbanded like Rina Aiuchi and Maki Ohguro, even though they had the singing ability.

That's not what happened. It was more like, “Yuri Nakamura writes good songs, so you have to take care of her,” right?

The BEST History of GARNET CROW at the crest Whether by chance or good fortune, I managed to buy the first-press edition brand-new at list price. At big chain stores like Tower Records, TSUTAYA, and HMV, it seems almost hopeless now. Even Amazon is close to 9,000 yen for a new copy. If you find one, don't hesitate—buy it on the spot. If you check little local or shabby stores, you might surprisingly find some left over (´･ω･`)

Will it be Cowboy Drum or Mochi who discovers the proper Doraemon someone drew on Yurippe's breasts?

Still no update on the official site?

I'm jealous of Kurose-san.

The funniest thing on the DVD is the old guy's performance. I want to signal the lighting crew too.

I'm heading out on a takoyaki expedition starting tomorrow lol

Yuri-san is way too beautiful...

There can't be any other band whose average age has risen by 11 years since debut... These women just keep getting worse with age...

B'z's official Twitter, @Bz_LIVEGYM, started up before I knew it. GARNET CROW, you guys should do one too.

Who's going to update it? Azuki-san has zero motivation.

>919 No, any band that reaches its 11th anniversary will have an average age 11 years higher. What are you even trying to say?

Is the middle of your head a flower garden or what?

I want to lick Yuri-san's pussy.

Are the goods already on sale?

>924 It probably smells sweet and sour, like a first love.

You can't tell who Yurippe is without makeup.

GARNET CROW is washed up.

>928 Go die.

She looks cute, like Yurippe, no matter when I look at her lol It's just like the jacket photo for “Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu Keredo” lol ttp://item.shopping.c.yimg.jp/i/j/fai-s_21340

When's the next album coming?

I'll do my best for Yuri-san again today.

(´･ω･) Work hard, earn lots, and buy lots of CDs, okay? ♥

I can't play keyboard at all, so I don't really know how to judge keyboard playing. But how is AZUKI's playing? I get the feeling keyboard is kind of a behind-the-scenes role, and since it's not very prominent and she doesn't have any solos, it's hard to tell what her technical level is. From what I can tell, she seems to play normally well enough. Wasn't she originally more of an idol-type? So did she just happen to be a professional-level pianist too? For pop music, is it a level that anyone with piano experience can manage? But if an ordinary person wanted to make a living playing pop music, wouldn't they normally need to graduate from a music college?

Honestly, someone who can play decently off the street would be better.

With a grand piano, it's obvious who's good and who's not, but on an electronic piano, pretty much anyone sounds the same.

>934 Even being a professional covers a lot of different roles. Nana's professional value is her lyrics, her looks, and, more than anything, the presence of AZUKI Nana itself. The other “professionals” properly make up for the band's overall quality.

About the same level as TOKIO and the like. Even her lyric writing is at the level she learned from Giza's teachers. Rather than being original, she seems good at deforming and reworking existing things.

Judging from “Mizu no Nai...,” I think she's pretty good. There aren't many songs where the keyboard stands out like that, so it's hard to say.

Lolwwwwwwww Who is that on the jacket photo? wwwwwwwwww Where did Yurippe go? wwwwwwwwww The image is too small to make out, but Yurippe looks like a completely different person wwwwwwwwww

Yurippe on the regular edition is dangerously good (;´Д｀) *huff huff*

According to Wikipedia, she seems to have been playing for over ten years, so she should be capable enough to casually play pop music. Apparently there are also specialized instructors who teach professionals, so if she wasn't good enough, she probably practiced.

>941 She clearly is Yurippe. It even feels like she's gone back a little to how she used to look. Still lovely as ever.

Nana-sama is as beautiful as ever.

They revealed the jacket photos pretty early this time.

The regular edition really has more tracks? wwwwwwww

The jacket is so awful I don't feel like buying it. No way I can buy it in a store... Amazon, I guess.

Yuri-san is too angelic...

I went to the official site to look at the jacket wwwwwwww What the hell is that? It's not like this band has some decadent aesthetic image anyway lol. There's only so much over-the-top staging you can do. If the four of them are just standing there, the second album was the most natural and coolest. Rather than adding weird decorations, it's fine for them to simply be there like in “Hare Tokei.”

>948 Why?

Furui-san really is cool.

The jacket is so damn lame it's making me want to die.

What is that animal-like thing drawn on the first-press jacket supposed to be...?

>953 Another lame one? lol I mean, if they're awful every time, does that make this one the worst of the worst...? I'll go take a look!

I think the jacket looks pretty good apart from Okamoto-san. It makes me hopeful about the mood of the songs too.

Pussy.

I got the goods with no trouble.

Beautiful jacket.

>934 People who graduated from music college are actually a tiny minority among keyboardists lol It's not like they're serious classical or jazz pianists.

Tokyo Incidents are music-college graduates. If only we could hear playing like that. But I'd hate it if Nana turned into Izawa.

I like the back-and-forth interplay at the end of “As the dew” from 2010.

>960 There must be plenty of accomplished people like studio musicians who graduated from music college, right? Or maybe they couldn't take the conventional route, but wanted to work as performers, so they went that way instead.

>954 That wolf— isn't it exactly the kind of aesthetic only our GARNET CROW could pull off?

I saw the jacket photo, and they look like a group with three women and one man wwwwww

What kind of request did Mochi make at the salon? What is the husky supposed to be foreshadowing? Was Yurippe trying to imitate the CG ice-cream girl from AKB? Azuki-san is an old lady, but she's cute.

I'm jealous that Okamocchi has such an intimate relationship with Yuri-san.

A crow's silhouette on the moon— isn't it exactly the kind of aesthetic only our GARNET CROW could pull off?

A full moon and a wolf— isn't it exactly the kind of mystery only our GARNET CROW could pull off?

Thinking about Yuri-san makes my chest ache.

>930 Yeah, they do look alike.

Okamocchi's hairstyle on the regular edition overlaps with Azuki-san's.

The jacket is kind of iffy.

↑(;`皿´) What did you say, asshole? (;`皿´) My ideas are in it too, asshole! (;`皿´) I'll beat your ass!

Feels like the kind of jacket gal types would listen to.

(;`皿´) Kha———ptooey!

I saw the jacket photo, and they look like a group with three women and one man wwwwww What kind of request did Mochi make at the salon? Okamocchi's hairstyle on the regular edition overlaps with Azuki-san's.

The first-press edition should come with a sexy gravure DVD of Yurippe.

I wonder if Yurippe's boobs are about the same size as Chika Esu.

I hated the previous Sumanē jacket because it was way too lame, but I like this one because it has a bewitching vibe (^-^)

Yuri? She's pretty ugly.

She may not be insanely cute, but I love Yuri-san.

No, Yurippe is super cute. Her voice is cool too. But I like Nana more.

I love Smiley Yurippe and Mystery Yurippe alike! But Yurippe casually throwing up double peace signs is my favorite!!

You mean Yurippe's ahegao double peace signs?

Neither Nakamura nor GARNET needs some decadent or bewitching image.

First time posting. An older woman with heavy makeup has no appeal whatsoever. Watching this princess playacting is just painfully embarrassing.

People who can tolerate this kind of thing are the only ones who need to watch it. That's how horror movies, haunted houses, and thrill rides work too, right?

Mocchi's hairstyle is awful.

Mochi's hairstyle is the same as the inner jacket of Mini Cro Second.

>989 This isn't an Ayumi Hamasaki thread.

I don't think just any princess could pull off a performance like that.

I'll do my best for Yuri-san again today.

>995 People live for someone because they're weak. They convince themselves that's what they're doing, and then start wanting things.

Yurippe showed up in my dream today! I love you, Yurippe~!

Yurippe is the best!

>995 Agreed. >998 Agreed.

If this is 1000, I'm deep-kissing Yurippe.
