乙　when the time comes to carry you away

A gloomy band for the mentally ill, lolｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Are the LIVE shows only in Tokyo and Osaka???????

>1 The world may call it 乙

Nice one, previous thread >1000!

The winter tour schedule is short and packed, lol.

>1 A乙UKI七

Azuki-san in the calendar looks like Izumi Sakai.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

I’m going to buy 30 copies of the new album at the event venue.

One day, a new GEO store opened near my house and I wandered in. In the used rental-return sales section, I found “I’m Waiting 4 You” marked at 100 yen, and without hesitation took it to the register. I’ll never forget how moved I was that day.

>14 I guess she was acting as a body double from time to time.

So is it okay to apply for both Tokyo shows?

>19 No way. You can only win one show.

Why not get them through the general sale?

I’m single, so I got a ticket for the countdown live. Now I won’t be lonely at the end of the year!

19:30 — “Arashi: Bridge to Tomorrow”

Correction: “Arashi’s Journey to Tomorrow”

Is next year’s livescope really going to be only three shows? No additional shows? Just when I thought they’d finally done something you could call a national tour of the major cities starting in 2009, they’re back to one-off shows again. That’s so depressing------------

I think it’s because they don’t expect to make a profit. And considering their age and physical stamina, isn’t this arrangement fine?

I wanted to go to a live show, so I joined the fan club and watched videos of Yurippe and Oka-Mocchi for the first time. Oka-Mocchi seemed like such a nice guy that I started liking him, and Yurippe’s bad standard Japanese is adorable lol

I can do anything for Yuri-san.

The intro to “rythem” is godly.

Twin vocals, huh… I guess it can’t be helped if their style and such changes, but I wish they’d kept each person’s assigned parts the same.

I got 92 points singing “Yume Mita Ato de” at karaoke. “As the Dew” got 91. I chose an old one and sang Yuki Koyanagi’s “Anata no Kiss wo Kazoemashou,” and surprisingly got 98 points. Even a guy can get a high score if he tries.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today!

Thanks for your hard work on the night shift.

>30 It’s the chorus. They always do that.

>29 It’s good, right? I like the intro to “ENDLESS DESIRE” too, though.

>29 I like it too, but at least remember how to spell it properly.

They say we have to transfer the money for this live by December 5, but come on, there’s no way I know what I’ll be doing four months from now. Is GIZA really that desperate?

>37 Wasn’t the fan-club presale for the countdown live in August too? That was early… I wonder if they’re saying, “We’re telling you in advance, so clear your schedules,” lol But you can really feel how desperate they are with the CD release formats and everything. They should announce in-store lives and radio appearances much earlier instead!

They should include a handshake ticket or a photo-taking ticket and sell it that way. Like, you could even get to attend the after-party.

I’m already sick of people treating them like idols. Both the fans who see them that way and the management’s policy that makes it inevitable.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

>40 Whatever the management’s marketing strategy, I think how fans choose to see them is up to each individual.

>40 Young people probably take it for granted that they can interact with artists, so they don’t find handshake events strange, right? Rather than pointless events, I want them to do lots of full-member shows in small venues where you can see them up close.

JUDY is great!!! It’s a ballad!!! The promo is cute too!!

The song JUDY is good, but the PV is way too shitty. What a terrible collaboration… Only Yurippe is flashy and sticks out lol

True, Yurippe stands out way too much lol

Yurippe got fat, right? Maybe it’s age.

Her transformation into a middle-aged lady won’t stop. She’s totally different from two or three years ago.

GARNET CROW “JUDY” PV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRinDnK64JI As expected of a comic band.

Singer and actor Tomohisa Yamashita (26) will star in the TBS drama “Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata ~Ending Planner~” (starts January 12 next year, Thursdays at 9:00 p.m.). Yuri Chinen (17) of Hey! Say! JUMP has been confirmed to play the third son.

>49 This is exactly the kind of sound I like… I’m starting to look forward to the release.

Seriously, why are Johnny’s fans glued to this thread too?

The full version’s been uploaded too. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmjfj3_judy_lifestyle?start=1#from=embediframe

The blog finally got updated.

Sorry for the delay.

I wondered, “Why are they suddenly collaborating with a shoujo manga artist?” But when I look at the female fans who come to the lives, they have a sort of vibe like they’re old enough to know better but don’t wear makeup and still read shoujo manga, so I can’t help finding this collaboration oddly convincing. It still feels like nobody asked for it, though.

When are we getting the announcement of Yamada-kun’s starring drama and the JUMP drama theme-song single?

JUDY is good. Actually, wouldn’t it have been better if the whole PV were animated?

They should show more of Nana-san in JUDY too.

Exactly. I’d rather look at Nana than read manga.

Unfortunately, JUDY is confirmed to be a dud. There’s no way something like this will sell.

>62 It’s pretty good, though. Way better than ParaUni.

You should just write, “I don’t like it.” Something like >62 isn’t a review or an impression.

>56 If this had been a collaboration with Arina Tanemura or someone, it would’ve been huge news.

>62 First of all, learn to use sage lol

Oka-Mocchi and Yurippe are left-handed, huh.

JUDY is officially a shitty song lolｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Starting tonight, I’m going to listen to JUDY every day before bed. I thought it would be uptempo, so I’m really glad.

>69 It’s seriously god-tier. The quality is high every time, and it’s moving.

Thanks for replying >70. Thanks to JUDY, I’m looking forward to Memories even more now.

JUDY IS A TANK GIRL

The melody doesn’t really have much impact. There’s no part of the song that really grabs you. It feels like the guitar was forced in, and on top of that it’s lame. The lyrics don’t reach my heart. The song sounds old-fashioned.

>67 Really?

>73 That’s not what people look to Gane for. Gane probably isn’t for you, so I think you’d be better off not listening. Whether something is good or bad is a matter of personal taste, but completely rejecting it like that is a bit much. >74 She was simply writing JUDY with her left hand; she wasn’t actually left-handed. By the way, Okamoto-san normally writes with her right hand. I don’t know whether she’s right-handed, but since she writes letters with her right hand, not her left, I don’t think the PV is reliable evidence.

Also, in the PV they simply split the letters on the left between Furui-san and AZUKI-san and the letters on the right between Okamoto-san and Yuri-san, then matched the left side with their right hands and the right side with their left hands. I think the order may have been intentional so Yuri-san would get the initial Y. But it ended up being arranged by seniority.

>58, true. If it was going to end up this half-assed, the other option might’ve been better.

The “Lonely Night” PV is here! http://p.tl/tO92

Maybe they can’t get the old feeling back unless they start with Nana-san’s lyrics again.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

I figure the song is the main thing, and the lyrics just need to fit the sound. So even if I can’t make out what the vocalist is saying, I can still instinctively feel that it’s a good song. I don’t think about the meaning much at all.

I’m not that into JUDY either. Actually, lately they’ve been cramming guitar solos into everything. The arrangements have become one-note, and none of the songs have any individuality. I regretted buying ParaUni, so I’ll probably wait until Memories is available to rent or drops in price.

I want guitar solos in there. I don’t like bands without guitar solos.

The fact that GARNET doesn’t have rules like that is what makes them good. Using a verse only once and throwing it away, having no pre-chorus, and so on.

>84 There are songs like that on this one.

Will the coupling-song best be two discs or three? I’m looking forward to it. I want to hear the songs that weren’t included on albums.

>62 >68 >73 At this point, it’s like, what exactly are you looking for? Complain about your own sensibility for no longer being able to feel moved.

The JUDY PV is the worst. I want to see Yuri-san, not some manga.

I heard “Genesis I” apparently goes from the verse straight into the chorus.

>83 That sounds more like a rock band. I like rock too, but I’m not really into the whole “start with the guitar solo” thing. What I think is good about Gane is the high level of harmony, with no clear lead or supporting role.

I wish they’d shown Yurippe a little more from the front in JUDY.

>90 For me, the guitar solo feels like another song on its own. The twin guitars harmonizing are the best.

It was learned on the 24th that Ryosuke Yamada (18) of the idol group Hey! Say! JUMP and actress Kyoka Suzuki (43) will co-star in the NTV drama “Risou no Musuko” (starting next January, Saturdays at 9 p.m.). The two, appearing together for the first time, will play mother and son. The comedy depicts Daichi (Yamada), a “NEO mama’s-boy high school student” who declares, “My ideal woman is my mom!”, and Umi (Suzuki), who plays a wonderful mother while shouting in her heart, “Grow up properly for my sake and buy me a house!” The script is by Shinji Nojima. After meeting Suzuki for the first time, Yamada said with an embarrassed smile, “She’s such a beautiful person that even though she’s playing my mother, I’m going to get nervous.” Making his first comedy, he was enthusiastic about “playing a mother-and-son pair with good chemistry.” He apparently isn’t a mama’s boy himself. Suzuki, meanwhile, lavishly praised Yamada’s impression of her: “He uses proper language, and you can see how pure his heart is in his atmosphere. He really is the ideal son.” She also joked, “When I look at men in general, I think mama’s boys are kind and wonderful. I’m firmly pro-mama’s boy.” Also appearing are Taisuke Fujigaya (Kis-My-Ft2) and Yuto Nakajima (Hey! Say! JUMP).

“Shikkoku no Chaser” is here!

I think the JUDY PV is good, though… It has way more of a story than just being shown them singing.

Yuri-san is way too beautiful…

Yurippe in the JUDY PV kind of looks like Miyuki Nakajima to me.

I hear she likes Miyuki Nakajima.

The Japan Lyricist Awards are tomorrow, but was “Misty” not nominated? Actually, what even are the Japan Lyricist Awards lol I just learned about them for the first time.

If it’s the Lyricist Awards, Nana-san could easily have been nominated, right?!

Released 12/14 Detective Conan Theme Song Collection 4 (first press edition) The first press edition comes with a DVD containing rare footage. Mai Kuraki, B’z, BREAKERZ, Rina Aiuchi GARNET CROW, Naifu, Caos Caos Caos Aya Kamiki, Hundred Percent Free, and Shizukusa, all included in full. http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005QRO0L2/bzspirit0b-22/ref=nosim/

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

If you’re not going to sage, get out, hage.

↑ Sorry, you shitty bastard.

>105 Stop picking fights over every little thing.

There are a lot of creepy GARNET CROW fans, after all. Unfortunately, that’s a fact. At least pay a little attention to your clothes and hairstyle, guys.

When I dressed a little formally for the Symphonic show, there were still nothing but Rock On T-shirts and GC caps everywhere, so I ended up feeling embarrassed about myself instead.

>108 No, keep it up. I think that sort of thing is important.

This thread is nothing but talk about the members’ looks or the fans’ looks lolｗｗ

“Eiyuu” — turn, turn, love and sorrow~

What is this from? MÄR Heaven or something? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sDZVrSW70g

I just can’t get interested in Hirara Natsume…

Just like the other tie-in anime, I’ve decided to ignore it.

Only three livescope shows? Seriously?

I want to smell Yuri-san’s panties.

>116 You’ll have to make do with my underwear.

So… I just realized that I forgot to pay my fan club fee… I can’t buy through the FC presale lol

Don’t worry, there’ll be tons of tickets left, so you’ll be able to buy one.

>113 Sorry, I ended up searching for Hirara myself…

So “Himawari no Iro” is about Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. I love Van Gogh, so it really hit me. Old fans probably knew that already, huh?

So in the end, are there no store bonuses for Memories?

“Stay” was Kawasaki, “Over Drive” was Toyosu, “Misty Mystery” was Chiba, and this time it’s Saitama. When you look at it that way, they really do hold events all over the Kanto region.

They should’ve asked Gosho Aoyama instead of Hirara Natsume.

It arrived from 7net yesterday with a specified delivery date lol

I voted again today for coupling songs that aren’t on the original albums, Best, the third first-press History best, or All Lovers.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

“Say ‘kontonjonoiko~’!! It’ll sound like Kazuki Enari saying ‘That’s easy~’!!”

It feels stupid to buy the coupling-song best just for the one or two bonus tracks… Though I’m going to buy it anyway…

If it isn’t original material, the songs will overlap like crazy, so I don’t need it.

My dick belongs to Nana-sama.

>130 If it doesn’t sell, they’ll break up sooner. If you want to keep listening to GARNET CROW’s music, buy it as an offering, okay?

Why won’t they sell a fleshlight molded from Nana-sama’s pussy? It would definitely sell.

Today I saw a car driving around blasting “Natsu no Maboroshi.” I wonder how Yurippe would feel if she heard that.

>135 “Kono Fuyu no Shirosa ni” would feel more seasonal, right?

They don’t perform “Kimi to Iu Hikari” very often at lives considering how well-known it is, do they?

>136 Blasting “Kono Fuyu no Shirosa ni” would make you look like a trucker lol

They should collect all the coupling songs and make an album. If they make it a best-of, it’ll probably just be full of songs already on other albums.

>135 People surprisingly don’t notice the sound leaking out themselves. If you keep turning it up little by little in the car so it can compete with the road noise, it can end up being surprisingly loud.

They’ve already calculated that and will leave out anything that’s been included before. If they followed the vote literally, it’d be a disaster.

It’s a fixed race anyway, obviously.

Whatever, just make sure the album-unreleased songs are included!!!!

>134 Officer, it’s this guy.

It was learned that around 2:10 a.m. on the 25th, 37-year-old detective Kogoro Mouri, known as “Sleeping Kogoro,” was stabbed in the neck with something needle-like and died in the lobby of a hotel in Beika City’s Beika Town. The Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigative Division had taken into custody a seven-year-old elementary schoolboy who was with Mouri on suspicion of professional negligence resulting in death. The boy is the eldest son of an acquaintance of Mouri’s, and had apparently been living at Mouri’s house with Mouri and his 16-year-old daughter for some time. According to people involved, Mouri was assisting the police investigation at the scene of a murder he happened to encounter when the boy suddenly fired a tranquilizer needle at him. Mouri lost consciousness on the spot, suffered respiratory failure, and died soon afterward. During police questioning, the boy explained, “I’ve used the tranquilizer needle repeatedly before, and it was always fine. I had absolutely no intention of killing Mouri.” On the other hand, he was also saying incomprehensible things such as, “I’m a high-school detective.” The police plan to conduct a psychiatric evaluation of the boy and investigate how he obtained the wristwatch-shaped tranquilizer gun.

Azuki-chan is cute.

Nana: “You bet lol”

I want Yuri-san to feed me her home cooking with an “ahh.”

There’s something addictive about GARNET CROW’s songs. Sometimes I get this irresistible urge where my body starts twitching and I’m like, “Aah!”—I just desperately want to listen to GARNET CROW. I’m really glad I became a fan.

I want a GARNET CROW pachislot machine and a CR GARNET CROW.

>150 Absolutely against it.

Even if you don’t oppose it, if they were that well-known they’d be used in commercials anyway.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

The album’s coming out soon, but there’s hardly any promotion. Do they even want to sell it?

It’ll probably only sell to the die-hard fans, so excessive promotion would actually put them in the red through advertising costs.

I still can’t decide where to buy it.

So you still can’t listen to the full versions of anything except JUDY.

Chicago Poodle ■Live event “Ashiato” to be broadcast live on NicoNico Live!! To celebrate the release of the must-have best album “HISTORY I,” compiling Chicago Poodle’s history, the live event “Ashiato,” held at Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE on Friday, December 2, will be urgently broadcast live on NicoNico Live!! http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv72001236

They should make the entire JUDY PV animated. It might be fun to have both an animated version and a live-action version of one song. Yurippe has aged, but somehow I feel like she looks more doll-like now.

>158 Don’t come here from Twitter to advertise, you scum.

>156 If you’re looking for cheap, Amazon is ¥2,711.

Just go to the event and get a poster.

>151 All the members are slot players. At least make Pachislot GARNET CROW into a product.

I don’t play slots, so I don’t need it. It doesn’t fit their image either, and even if music like Gane’s played in a pachinko parlor…

The tickets arrived lol Arashi’s takoyaki New Year show is in the rear of the first floor, but the 7WEST concert got me good seats.

CDTV is ignoring Gane with breathtaking thoroughness.

Congrats on appearing in a drama, Shori-kunーーー!!!

Daily album chart *1　64,744　Arashi　Sis, number one for the year is hereーーー

>166 They used to appear as guests, too. They hardly sing on TV anymore.

>159 I hear it costs close to 10 million yen to make one episode of anime. Even if it were a four-minute PV, making character designs and storyboards just for that would require a huge number of people, and there’s no way GIZA has enough money right now to spend that much just promoting an album…

TWO-MIX had a PV that was ridiculously smooth-moving anime.

I can’t believe the album and calendar cost almost the same〜

>170 TWO-MIX PV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0YKfhyrn0A An opening movie said to have cost 300 million yen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL9fXYjrpWQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=sF52fmUMW_o

Have there ever been any mishaps or problems during a live show?

Matsutake, first floor, bought it for 1.5 lol

>175 The Yokohama incident.

Suddenly, TV and radio appearances are here! Mostly just comment appearances, though. What even is Ehime Asahi TV?

FM Kyoto one-day special confirmed. And it’s on the release date.

>172 Both can be enjoyed all year round. >175 During tuning at the Symphonic show, there’s a limit to how much you can do just because the members react really well.

I listened to JUDY. As expected of Yurippe (AND Nana), it sent shivers through me!

Why is Azuki-san growing her hair out? Short hair is the cutest and suits her best (>_<)

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

>178 It’s a local music-ranking show. They also appeared in a comment during “Misty Mystery,” but it was recycled footage from MUSIC FOCUS.

>182 Probably because cutting it is a pain in the ass. Though washing long hair seems like more of a pain to me.

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

>161 >162 Amazon is cheap, but there are no bonuses, and there’s a good chance you’ll get Konozama. I’m planning to go to the event, but I don’t need a poster. You can easily make TAB sheets by looking at the sheet music on Musing, but it costs full price.

The paperwork explaining the new membership name still hasn’t arrived lol

December 7 is approaching.

How long do lives usually last, roughly?

Why does Azuki-san say “mina no negai…” instead of “minna no negai…”? Is that just how old people say it?

>194 Two to two and a half hours.

Next year’s Osaka live starts at 6:30 p.m., so I wonder if it’ll finish around 9.

>211 This is when the radio show Oka-Mocchi used to do comes in handy.

NicoNico Live again, huh.

Maybe it was really well received lol

This GARNET CROW album might actually take number one on the weekly chart.

Sandaime, SHINee, Nico— these all come out on the same day, huh. As for GARNET…

GARNET will probably place fourth at best.

On FNS, the miracle collaboration between Kis-My-Ft2 and w-inds. The plan this time is clearly to make w-inds. look deliberately lame by having them collaborate with Johnny’s, brainwashing the public into thinking “w-inds. = lame.” Then once the public decides and recognizes that w-inds. are lame, next time they see w-inds. they’ll go, “Oh, that lame group lolｗｗｗ,” and lose all interest in them. That’s the plan, no doubt about it.

A huge fan of the Japanese band GARNET CROW (hereafter GC). Such a big fan that they even list the songs they’ve sung at karaoke on their blog. In Weekly Asahi (Asahi Shimbun Publications), they said they’d like their marriage partner to be a GC fan too. Good for you guys.

Are they still doing Bread Factory lives lately?

I want to marry Yuri-san.

GARNET’s comment showed up on MUGEN lol (´・Ω・｀)

I don’t live in Kyoto, so I’m looking forward to being able to listen to the live radio broadcast.

>221 Who said that? If it wasn’t Yurippe, then there’s nothing good about it. If your husband or wife were a GC fan, you could go to lives together, but wouldn’t it be annoying if your husband was yelling “Yurippe~” right beside you? Sharing a hobby can be difficult too.

I’m so happy that I get to see flat-chested Cinderella Yurippe every day in the December calendar.

If you round up, Yurippe has huge boobs.

>228 Isn’t the threshold you’re rounding from way too low? lol

Yurippe is competing with her lower half, after all.

The close-up of her chest in the “Doing all light” PV makes it look big.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

>227 She’s Snow White, isn’t she?

Sleeping Beauty.

Princess Aiko and her dog “Yuri” http://www.jiji.com/jc/p?id=20111201093257-1821662&n=1

Flat-chested Yurippe, big-boobed Azuki-san— GARNET CROW is wonderful lol

I’m on the flat-chest side.

The official album site got updated! Also, I’m scared that the JUDY bear might show up as merch lol

JUDY is great! The PV is pretty good too. Lately GaneCraw’s PVs have really been getting effort put into them. Mystery was good too, so I’m looking forward to this album.

>238 I want to request it as merch lol

Calendar reservations have started.

What is that boring manga… It’s even more mismatched than Golgo.

If you read it a few times, you’ll start thinking it’s as well-made as a GARNET CROW song lol

The new membership-name paperwork arrived today. I’ll make the bank transfer tomorrow.

A manga that grows on you.

It’s way too cold for December. On a day like this, I even want to cancel my plans.

The first time I heard GARNET CROW was on a Conan song collection. For some reason, GARNET CROW alone sounded strikingly different.

>250 What, were you asleep? It’s sunny today.

I want to smell Yuri-san’s panties.

Yuri-san around the time of “Yume Mita Ato de” was way too beautiful…

A GARNET CROW thread where I love talking about the female members and bumping.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

The kitty in “Mou Ichido Waratte” is so cute〜

I kind of like the part in the member introductions on the “ARE YOU READY TO LOCK ON?!” DVD where Yurippe says, “Okamoto〜 hi・to・shi.”

I believe my self〜 The rhythm that marks the passage of time.

I opened an account at Mizuho for concert office stuff lol

>263 Garnet-chan is cute, right? I wonder if she’s still alive and well.

I preordered the album. In the end, I chose the sheet music from Musing. I’m going to enjoy copying JUDY.

JUDY’s sound is kind of similar to “Yume no Hitotsu,” isn’t it?

I contacted the fan club, but it looks like next year’s tour won’t go anywhere besides Osaka and Tokyo… What a shame〜

>267 That kitty is called Garnet-chan? Thanks for telling me.

Happy birthday to Hikaru Yaotome (Hey! Say! JUMP).

http://uni.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1322824312/ Hang in there, Oka-Mocchi! lol I’m rooting for Oka-Mocchi to find happiness.

I like Yurippe, but her fashion sense is kind of meh.

Mocchi will be fine because he has Yuri-san.

She’s been wearing huge flowers on her head a lot lately. It makes her look kind of stupid.

Someone write a boys’ love novel about Furui-san and Oka-Mocchi. Okamoto is playing guitar in the recording studio late at night. Furui opens the door and enters the studio. “What, you’re still here, Okamoto?” “Yeah, I’m not satisfied with the riff…” Furui casually looks at the clock on the wall. “Hasn’t the last subway already left?” “Huh, seriously?!” He hurriedly checks his wristwatch. “Whoa, looks like I’ll have to take a taxi. I’m broke this month too, what a pain…” Furui’s sunglasses flash sharply. “…Stay over at my place tonight.” Something like that, please.

>278 Because she’s a girl who dreams…

“JUDY ~another story” Does that mean there’s a story that isn’t “another”?

“Furui’s room,” lol

>279 Who asked for this lolｗｗｗ Is the cat Mocchi and the top O-san?

I looked at the M Station rankings and it’s nothing but shitty music. I’m sick of hollow garbage and Korean pop already. So GARNET CROW, keep fighting lol

>278 Looking at that huge flower, I thought, “She looks like Sayuri from Katsumi & Sayuri,” lol. I think they should just give her a normal close-up and sweep it in from the side.

>282 The world of lyrics drawn by AZUKI Nana = the original. That manga, which offers another interpretation based on those lyrics = another story. That’s what they mean, I think.

↑ I got that wrong. This was meant for >281.

Yurippe was best around the time of the “Hare Dokei” PV. Her makeup was light, she had black hair, and she looked innocent; she was good up through around the 2009 STAY tour. Something went wrong around 2010. This gaudy makeup now… How did it come to this?

I heard she already had the same kind of look during the “Locks” days.

It’s heartbreak, obviously.

I want to marry Yuri-san from around the time of “Yume Mita Ato de.”

>291 That’s impossible in so many ways.

>285 Katsumi & Sayuri, lolｗｗ Yurippe with a huge flower going bo-yoyoyooonｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Yurippe is so gaudy lol

Posting here for the first time in a while.

Is Mocchi one of those “salt-face” guys? http://blog.m.livedoor.jp/dqnplus/article/1680964?guid=ON

Yurippe in the first press A and B editions of “Looks” looks scary. That’s what I thought after looking at the official top page—she needs to stop with the false eyelashes, they stand out too much lol And Azuki-san in “SPARKLE” is like, “Who are you?” lol She looks like Chiaki Kuriyama when she was young.

Why does everyone keep the thread sage? Are you seriously supporting GARNET CROW? With the name GARNET CROW still not very well-known, obviously the normal thing would be to keep the thread bumped so it’s always in a place where all kinds of people can notice it. Think about it a little. If the number of fans increases, local lives can return, and they’ll put even more effort into albums and merchandise. The shadow effort of steadily keeping the thread bumped is absolutely not wasted. Don’t sage the thread! Bump it!

>285 >293 You guys are making fun of Sayuri, but she’s probably better at piano than Yurippe.

Yuri-san has looked like Chiharu Niiyama lately.

Wait, is Katsumi & Sayuri known nationwide?

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

A little late.

>271 It also sounds like “Ai ni Niteru.”

>305 This is seriously beyond crazy.

>305 Is it gross? There was a naked woman in it.

I watched the whole thing and it was hilarious lol Are you even allowed to upload this kind of thing to YouTube lol?

More horror than gross.

Probably because it’s an old woman naked lol

Oh no, you clicked it. That video won’t stop unless you force-quit it.

What video? I’m on a cellphone, so nothing happened.

“Misty Mystery” just played at FamilyMart.

>319 It’s a video saying “yellow Japanese people, die.” I panicked like crazy thinking it was a browser bomb.

>321 I thought I’d stepped on a browser bomb and shut down my computer in a panic, only to find it was just a video. Who posted something like that?

I bought KAT-TUN lol I want to go to the concert.

I’ll get to meet Yurippe next week. I’m really looking forward to it〜

I’ll get to meet WEST next week. I don’t care if it’s a nosebleed seat, just let me get into the KAT-TUN show.

Azuki-chan is way too cute. I really like her.

>320 I read that as “Smith” lolｗｗｗｗｗ

The title of the Breakerz’ new song is “Miss Mystery” lolｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Ugh, I had no money this year and couldn’t buy anything. Not even the countdown show I’d been thinking, “This year for sure,” about. I’m going to the Tokyo live twice, so forgive me, Nana-sama! Don’t get depressed even if sales drop. I’ll do my best too…

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

It’s warm for December today.

Can we apply for this year’s Ushi-kon yet?

Around this time next week, there’ll just be the afterimage of the real Yurippe…

Sexy Zone, good luck at Haruko too!! It was learned on the 3rd that the five-member Johnny’s unit Sexy Zone, after serving as special supporters for the Fuji TV broadcast of the “2011 Volleyball World Cup,” will also become the “passion supporters” for “Spring High School Volleyball 2012: the 64th All-Japan High School Volleyball Championship” (commonly known as Haruko Volleyball), which opens January 5 next year. Sexy Zone is a new unit that made its CD debut on November 16 with the single “Sexy Zone,” consisting of Shori Sato (15), Kento Nakajima (17), Fuma Kikuchi (16), Sou Matsushima (14), and Marius Yo (11). The coupling track “With you” from that single will be used as the tournament’s image song. Nakajima was already excited: “I’m a high-school student too, so I’m really getting into it. When I think about athletes my age working hard, I feel like I might jump onto the court myself.” Marius promoted the image song by saying, “It’s the kind of song that says, ‘Let’s go together and win!’ It’s a really good song that gets everyone excited together with the audience.”

I want to come inside Yurippe.

Yurippe’s income is insane lol http://cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com/images/fotolife/m/michinao/20110201/20110201225035.jpg

Does the lyricist get the same amount too?

>346 So about ¥200,000 per copy? (Does it simply triple for an album?) How does she even live…

If the artist’s share is split four ways, Mocchi makes two yen per copy. Sell 10,000 copies and that’s ¥20,000…

Doesn’t it differ depending on the company? If you’re independent like the guy who sang “Road,” you probably get a lot more. Mocchi’s income from Gane CDs other than “Light” must be tiny, right? Maybe it’s more like a fixed salary under an exclusive contract with the company. That’s why he gets pulled in to work with other singers too.

So does that mean “Misty~” is 15,000 copies × ¥17?

Even factoring in income from karaoke and merchandise, it’d be tough if it were just sales. They get a salary from the company every month, right?

Yurippe, who actually sings, gets more money, right? Ugh, we’re the same age, but look at my income. I want to die.

>353 Comparing your income to Yurippe’s is the height of stupidity.

I got a shipping email from Amazon. Looks like I might get it before release day.

Hmm.

U.

Mambo!

Yurippe probably makes only a little more than an ordinary office lady.

I want to come inside Yurippe.

No way lol He’s already earned a salaryman’s lifetime income.

Hey! Say! JUMP’s Ryosuke Yamada plays a Bakumatsu samurai in his first period drama Ryosuke Yamada (18) of Hey! Say! JUMP took on a period drama for the first time. In the TBS New Year drama “New Year Historical Special: The Unknown Bakumatsu Loyalist — The Story of Akiyoshi Yamada” (January 2 next year at 3:30 p.m.), he plays the young version of the protagonist, who led battles including the Battle of Goryokaku as a military officer in the Meiji government. He put on a traditional topknot wig for the first time in his life and fully became a dignified Bakumatsu warrior. Filming took place in mid-October. Since it was his first period drama, he confessed, “When I was offered the role, I was worried and wondered, ‘Can I really do this?’” Even so, after visiting Kyoto’s Uzumasa, the “holy ground” of period dramas, he said, “Once I put on the wig and costume, I felt like a solid core had formed inside me.” Before filming, he studied the characters and period-drama movements thoroughly. A member of the production staff said, “The sharp movements in the fight scenes and how quickly he picked things up amazed even the movement instructor.” Yamada passionately portrays Akiyoshi, born in the Choshu domain, entering Yoshida Shoin’s Shoka Sonjuku and growing while meeting people such as Shinsaku Takasugi. The drama depicts Akiyoshi, who founded Nihon University (then the Japan Law School) and Kokugakuin University after the Meiji Restoration, looking back on his youth. Tetsuya Watari (69) plays Akiyoshi in his later years. Also appearing are Pinko Izumi (64), Masashi Goda (41), and Akito Kiriyama (22) of Kansai Johnny’s Jr.

When’s the release date?

(^∀^) The staff blog is up!

>368 I preordered last week, and got the shipping email at 7 this morning.

I like that Yurippe doesn’t use Twitter or anything.

What’s the last song on Gane Radio?

Mocchi posted.

>372 Seriously? I just checked and I ordered it on 9/30. I wonder if it differs by region.

Apparently the song “Eiyuu” is read “Hideo.” (Seriously.)

Ikurou Fujiwara was responsible for the ending of the anime Azuki-chan. There’s your trivia for today.

If you creepy otaku can’t use sage, don’t come here.

It’s amazing to be so broke you don’t even have ¥3,500.

Yuko Nakazawa (38) gets married. Yurippe (34) is unmarried.

What makes the sage obsessives so fixated on using sage?

Grrr… I preordered ages ago, but no email from Amazon… I could get it today if I went to TSUTAYA…

Yurippe always gives me CDs, so I don’t have to buy them, you know.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

Normally people deteriorate as they age and become unusable… but Yurippe is the opposite and shines. Yurippe is definitely more wonderful in motion than in still photos. I own all the DVDs… (^^;; She’s got a great ass.

It arrived from Amazonー

The shipping email from Amazon is hereー（´；ω；｀）

It had already been uploaded, like with STAY, and I cracked up.

I listened to the whole thing. It’s way more GARNET-like than ParaUni. JUDY and Eiyuu are good. I’m going to listen to it over and over from here!

Yurippe and Furui-san in the diary.

Are there any bonuses exclusive to the regular edition?

“Dialy” lol—typo for “diary.”

Could the theme song for next year’s movie, Conan, be by BREAKERZ…? After a few more years it’ll be Gane again, right?

I like them, but I think they’ll have broken up in a few years.

So with the interchangeable jacket, you put it in the CD case and change it, but you can’t actually dress it up lol

Isn’t the leader of the GARNET Party Furui-san? I figured Yurippe would be the secretary-general or something.

I went to TSUTAYA, but they only had the DVD edition, so I didn’t buy it.

JUDY is really good!

“live ~When You Are Near!~” makes me feel like I got shortchanged one song. It’s the same as the coupling track to “Misty Mystery.”

>409 The arrangement is different, though.

I looked at the manga, but it’s boring. The art isn’t even good, and of course it uses the usual dead-character plot device.

Kurumatani’s drumming is great〜

>409 The arrangement is different right from the opening. I can’t explain it well, but it’s like this: Single Ta-ta-ta　tan　tan　tan Album Tan　tan　tan　tan　ta-ta-tan

For the album’s “Smily Nation” PV, it would’ve been nice if they’d made a long version using every photo that was submitted.

What do you guys think of this image? I woke up wet the morning before last. ttp://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org2347622.jpg

“Seijaku” and “Blue Regret” are good.

I like Yuriyan and Nanayan lol

I want to come inside Yurippe.

The arrangements feel alive, with lots of piano arrangements too. Personally, I like the lyrics more than on the previous album. “Seijaku no concerto” is a god-tier song.

Haven’t the corrections on the artist photos been way too excessive lately? I burst out laughing when I saw the Memories lyric booklet.

“Genesis I” is interesting, and as expected, “live” is a good song too.

So α-STATION can only be heard in Kyoto…? I’m crushed.

It was learned on the 5th that KAT-TUN’s new song “BIRTH” debuted at number one on the Oricon weekly chart dated the 12th. For the five members, this is their 17th consecutive number-one debut since their debut song “Real Face” (2006). The song is the theme for the Nippon TV/Yomiuri drama “Yokai Ningen Bem” (Saturdays at 9 p.m.), starring member Kazuya Kamenashi (25), and recorded the group’s best first-week sales of the four singles they released this year, at 194,000 copies. The “Bem effect” gave their 17th victory a tailwind. “BIRTH,” the theme song for the live-action adaptation of the popular anime “Yokai Ningen,” had the best opening of KAT-TUN’s singles this year. It rose in proportion to the drama’s popularity. Kamenashi passionately plays the protagonist, Bem. Together with Bela, played by actress Anne (25), and Bero, played by popular child actor Fuku Suzuki (7), the story follows them as they continue traveling in order to become human. It has won viewer support, starting with an 18.9% rating for the first episode. The song also enhances the drama, creating a splendid synergistic effect and extending their record of number-one debuts from their first release. Compared with the 152,000 copies sold in the first week by August’s “RUN FOR YOU,” sales were up by 42,000. For the group, whose true worth was tested after Jin Akanishi (27) left last year, it was the best possible finish. Their first nationwide tour in about two years is set for next February. A sixth new album is also scheduled for release in late February, so their momentum looks set to accelerate.

Nana-san’s face in the regular-edition jacket photo is better. The same thing happened with the regular edition of STAY.

After listening to “live,” I thought once again that the live sound is great.

Yurippe with that plump-plump butt.

GARNET CROW new album release commemorative event http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv72578633?ref=nicotop 【Venue information】Wednesday, December 7, 2011　Doors: 18:50　Start: 19:00

My impressions after one pass, for now: JUDY: Very Gane-like, easy to listen to. 一緒に暮らそう: Not sure what the tune is doing; the lyrics feel like a happy pet. Memories: A little disappointing; I like the chorus. Seijaku: My favorite so far. Genesis: A nice change of pace. Lonely: Reminded me of “wish”; feels like it’ll get everyone hyped at lives. Eiyuu: I liked Mocchi’s chorus, and it was fun because the lyrics felt different from usual. Blue Regret: Feels like a song that grows on you. First impression: a cohesive album that still feels like Gane while taking some chances.

They really messed up “Issho ni Kurasou.” The chorus is literally that other song.

Hideo lol

? What?

>433 It seems you need to be somewhere that can receive the station’s signal. Try checking the supported area.

>433 What if you use a PC browser or smartphone app and route through a Kyoto or Kansai proxy?

If you’re on au, you can use LISMO WAVE.

Oh, α-STATION isn’t on Radiko?

>440 What?

Maybe in the end I like albums best when they take chances but still feel like Gane. For the previous album, maybe something like “Mayoi no Mori” was the most Gane-like.

I haven’t listened yet, but how was “live” rearranged? I want to understand that before comparing the two versions.

“Yume no Hitotsu” and “Over blow” are both way too wonderful.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

>449 It’s cleaner than the single version. The chorus sounds more like a chorus now, I guess.

>449 The bass line is a little different. For small details, they pan the cymbal sound from side to side too.

>452 >453 Thanks!

The “Misty Mystery” arrangement isn’t the full version, huh.

Memories is better than ParaUni, but…

GARNET CROW new album release commemorative event http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv72578633?ref=nicotop 【Venue information】Wednesday, December 7, 2011　Doors: 18:50　Start: 19:00

first soundscope〜I’m waiting 4 you ＞＞＞ THE TWILIGHT VALLEY ＞＞＞＞＞＞ everything after that

What’s everyone’s ranking of the albums after that like?

Hideo is cool.

GARNET CROW “JUDY (English ver.)” PV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3l1RjYVp9Y

>449 As someone on Team Furui, I’m swooning because the intro strings are easier to hear now.

7>>4>>1>>2=8>>9=6>>5=3

●Wednesday, December 7, 25:00–27:00 NEW! Nippon Broadcasting System “Golden Bomber Kiryuuin Sho’s All Night Nippon” live appearance ※Yuri Nakamura / Hitoshi Okamoto appearing live ※Broadcast on 36 stations nationwide http://www.allnightnippon.com/program/gb/ DJ: Sho Kiryuuin (Golden Bomber) Appearance: around 26:00–26:30 (2:00–2:30 a.m.) I never expected them to interact with Golden Bomber lolｗｗｗ

>464 I can’t imagine them clicking lol

>463 Seriously???!! You’re saying the 3rd and 5th rank lower than the 8th and 9th!

Leaving the latest one aside since I haven’t listened to it enough, lower than 8!

If I had to name the bottom three, they’d be 3, 4, and 8. I liked 9 from the first listen.

I envy people who listened in real time from their debut. They must’ve been blown away that every single they released up through around “Kimi to Iu Hikari” was a masterpiece.

3 and 4 in the bottom three, huh—seriously? I guess I need to listen through everything after LOCKS a bit more. I want to see everyone’s rankings.

It depends on whether you go by the overall average score or by how many especially favorite songs you have.

Where do you vote for the coupling songs? (´･ω･`)

Never mind, I figured it out myself.

“Issho ni Kurasou” is great. It might be my favorite.

first soundscope > I’m waiting 4 you > SPARKLE > STAY > Crystallize = parallel universe > THE TWILIGHT VALLEY = LOCKS >>> Memories What is it about Memories… I don’t even feel like listening to it enough to get into it. I was getting excited before release because of JUDY, but I could only come to like Hideo. Until now, even when I didn’t like something after one listen, it had some hook that made me keep listening to it over and over.

3 and 5 feel kind of overbearing, balance-wise. 4, 6, and 9 are about right.

>476 What the hell! …Though they are kind of overbearing, true. Can’t I download “Issho ni Kurasou” as a ringtone somewhere? I don’t really understand how this works.

I thought “Seijaku no concerto” would be piano-based, but it’s guitar. I like it even more now.

Issho ni Kurasou Lyrics: Koufuku na Pet Music: clock work Memories Lyrics: Hibi no Hotori Music: Sagashite Mimashou Seijaku no concerto Lyrics: Sky Music: Himawari Genesis I Lyrics: Futari Music: ラララ Lonely Night Lyrics: Nansense Music: Kakurenbo Eiyuu Lyrics: Renisou Music: Yuuzukuyo Blue Regret Lyrics: Koi no Aima ni Music: Yellow Moon That’s the image I get.

Also, I was wondering if Blue Regret and Aozora Kanata are connected〜

Thanks to >479, I figured out why I can’t like Memories. It’s made up almost entirely of songs I hate lol Since I absolutely love Renisou and Yuuzukuyo, “Eiyuu” is the only one I forced myself to like.

AZUKI-san updated her diary!!

>459 5th > 2nd > 7th > 4th > 8th = 1st > 6th > 9th > 3rd The gap between the good and bad songs this time is so huge that I probably won’t be able to listen to it straight through. Even so, JUDY, concerto, Eiyuu, and Regret are probably masterpieces. And we have to give credit to GC for still having the guts to experiment in their 11th year.

It’s really annoying that my Amazon order still hasn’t arrived.

“Smiley Nation” is good after all.

1st >>> 2nd >>> 3rd > 7th > 5th > 4th > 9th > 6th > 8th STAY is a good album, though. I’ve been disappointed more often since LOCKS.

I meant 1st.

…Still not here lol

Hearing the drums on “live” made me wish Kurumatani-san would play the drums at the lives too.

The previous album was so terrible that may be part of it, but I think this is unquestionably their masterpiece. Especially the ballads—just what you’d expect.

When is this Amazon package going to arrive lol

I’m happy AZUKI-san updated.

Listen, everyone 　　　　　　　　(゜д゜ ) 　　　　　　　　(|　y |) I believed that ordering from Amazon would be okay, but the product never arrived. 　　　　amazon　( ゜д゜)　　ok 　　　　　　　＼／|　y |＼／ Stick these together: 　　　　　　　　( ゜д゜)　amazonok 　　　　　　　　(＼／＼／ Read it backward and you get “konozama.” 　　　　　　　　( ゜д゜)　konozama 　　　　　　　　(＼／＼／ In other words, Amazon can’t be trusted. 　　　　　　　　(゜д゜ ) 　　　　　　　　(|　y |)

Mine arrived from Amazon yesterday.

For some reason, the first-press DVD’s behind-the-scenes footage makes me want to press the pause button lolｗｗｗ

Not that it’s bad, but α-STATION’s live show is playing “Hachigatsu no Yoru” even though it’s December lol

My first impression was that JUDY was the only song with any impact, but the more I listen, the more I’m starting to like the flow from Seijaku through Blue Regret. As everyone says, Seijaku, Eiyuu, and Blue Regret are masterpieces. “live” is good too. I just wish each song had a little more to it overall.

One minute until I get to the venue.

“Lonely Night” is so unusual that it doesn’t feel like GARNET CROW.

Bought the $ magazine.

I’ll upload it when it’s over.

19:00 — “FNS Music Festival”: Arashi, Kis-My-Ft2, Sexy Zone

I’ll upload it when it’s over.

Are you all watching NicoNico? Yuri-san is way too beautiful.

She’s beautiful, but her eyes aren’t smiling… This is exactly what “G-woman dead-eye syndrome” means lol

Yurippe looks sleepy lol

I went to Tower Records and bought the first press edition of Memories (^o^) I’ve been online for a long time, but I’ve only ever bought books and CDs in stores.

I got kicked out of NicoNico Live even though I was in the front row. Why? It had over 10,000 viewers, but how many people can it hold at most?

Yurippe’s face looks puffy. Maybe she’s on her period.

Overall, it feels more rock-oriented than before. This is just my first impression, but I like Issho ni Kurasou and Memories more than JUDY and Eiyuu.

For the tickets to the next live, is the chance of winning higher if I apply with the flyer inside the album or through Musing? Do either of them get better seats?

Honestly, we don’t need an introduction to every song. It’s tedious.

What song was “Futari no Omoi” about?

To the most beautiful Azuki-san in the world: Your happy feelings reached me. Thank you (*^o^*)

I forgot about NicoNico Live aaaaaa You guys should’ve told me…

I can’t be the only one who thought of “For South” when I heard the intro to Issho ni Kurasou.

Yuri-san would be more beautiful with lighter makeup…

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

Eat my Otabe.

That was a good Otabe.

Pâtisserie Yuri lol

I bought the album and found something called a password inside. I’m not interested, so does anyone want it?

I think it’s the same password for everyone, though.

Ladies, please throw in all your dome applications to get good KAT-TUN seats. If you have extras, I’ll buy them below face value. I want to go all three days at Takoyaki Dome.

Why can’t we buy Mini-Crow online? What’s the point of letting scalpers make money?

They said Mocchi’s DVD is coming out too.

What, is the DVD venue-only too?

That’s terrible lolｗｗｗ Do something about it.

Yurippe was in the radio blog. First time seeing Glasses Yuri.

Link, please.

Here you go. Glasses Yurippe http://gxc.google.com/gwt/x?client=ms-nttr_docomo_gws-jp&gl=JP&guid=on&wsc=tb&wsi=cbd7f046fd2c52dd&source=sg&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffm-kyoto.jp/blog/sunny_side_balcony/&ei=-kjfTo_UO4bEkgX727CkAQ

Thanks.

While I’m at it: http://gxc.google.com/gwt/x?gl=JP&hl=ja-JP&u=http://fm-kyoto.jp/blog/kyoto_air_lounge/&client=ms-nttr_docomo_gws-jp&source=sg&q=kyoto+air+lounge+blog&guid=on

I uploaded it to YouTube.

I can’t go to lives because my days off are irregular… I want Mini-Crow.

They said they’d sell the DVD through G-NET’s online store too.

>458 >459 The first three are god-tier albums for me. 4you is my next favorite. Then they gradually go downhill, with ParaUni being a personal critical hit. I’ve only listened to Memories once, but it’s so-so. I think it’ll grow on me, so I’ll listen to it more. Nana-san was so cute in the Smiley PV that I laughed. I couldn’t watch the live broadcast, but I’ll keep going until the countdown live.

I kind of like this sort of thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsmw4RMYOBA

Glasses are cute as hell lol I almost want her to do a live show dressed like that.

Is the English version of JUDY included on something?

I finally got to listen to the latest album. Personally, I think Hideo is going to be a song that grows on me.

Maybe the English version is the guide-vocal version?

Are those prescription glasses? Presbyopia… Nana-san once said her eyesight was 1.5 or 2.0, though.

Azuki-san must have good eyesight. Maybe because she doesn’t use computers and phones much.

>505 I sometimes see “G-woman dead-eye syndrome,” but how do you read it? “Jijo-me-shibun”???

Azuki-san probably has eyesight around 4.0, like people in Africa. At some live show she even said, “I can see all the way to the back.”

You can tell GIZA women right away because their eyes are dead.

Huh? Oh shit. Is this album a masterpiece? From orthodox songs to unusual ones, it’s way too varied lol Even the title track “Memories” is quietly good.

Does this mean the Super Light DVD will be sold at the venue?

>547 I see. So you’re saying you can understand the “bun” part too? Still, you really know your stuff.

>548 It feels like the overall reception is pretty good this time.

Yurippe as the leader of the GARNET Party, lol Her sense of humor is very 2ch-joke style.

I want to marry Yuri-san.

1 > 2 > 7 > 9 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 8 Memories is still subject to change, so this is provisional.

Issho ni Kurasou, Genesis I, Lonely Night— if you read too deeply into the lyrics… Nana-san is single!? No way, right?

Regret is perfect for the last track.

I wonder if the members normally listen to their own songs.

4 > 2 > 7 = 9 > 1 > 3 = 5 > 6 > 8 I’ve listened five times, and it’s fairly high in my ranking. I think the lyrics and arrangements really shone this time. The 8th isn’t bad, but it made Best and All Lovers feel pointless, so I don’t have a very good impression of it.

1 > 4 = 5 > 3 > 2 > 9 > 7 > 8 > 6 I think there are a lot of good songs, but they don’t really stick in my head. Maybe I’ve simply gotten older and can’t adapt to new things anymore.

Does Yurippe come on after 2 a.m.…? I’m sleepy (ρ_-)ノ

I want to turn Nana’s smartphone into one that can only email and make calls, then wake her up every morning and have her get annoyed with me.

5 = 6 = 7 = 9 > 1 = 4 > 8 > 2 I’ve been listening since their debut, and that’s how I’d rank them. I really like this one.

Correction: 5 = 6 = 7 = 9 > 1 = 4 = 8 > 2 = 3

Office-lady artist lolｗｗｗ

I finally got connected… Yurippe〜

There’s no one on the Nippon Broadcasting System live-commentary board.

No one was live-commenting on the Golden Bomber radio show, so I laughed.

I hadn’t been interested at all since Best, but the radio brought me back for the first time in a while. Is the reason they appear together because they’re bad at talking?

It’s still hard to tell what they’re saying when they sing. When I saw them live for the first time, I thought they were angels.

JUDY is good. I was just as moved as when I first heard “Like a Flower Waiting for Spring.”

You’re vulgar every other sentence lol. Stop with the dirty jokes in front of Yurippe lol

You two, thanks for your hard work appearing all day.

Number 8 on the Oricon daily chart dated the 6th.

It still hasn’t arrived from Musing orz What is Sagawa doing?

Does Yurippe in the staff-blog photo look like she’s had some work done around her eyes? Just a feeling…

It’s just heavy makeup. How did she end up wearing such gaudy makeup… Nana-san is so natural, though…

5 > 2 > 9 > 6 > 4 > 8 > 7 > 1 > 3 As someone who likes bittersweet-but-bright songs, this album is a huge hit!!

Oh, I got it wrong. 6 and 7 are reversed.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

Yesterday’s sales numbers are out: *5,416 copies　Memories *6,878 copies　parallel universe, first day 15,773 copies　parallel universe, first-week opening So maybe around 12,000–13,000 for the week.

>576 If you look close up, both of them apply makeup pretty heavily. Yurippe just goes harder on the colors and layering. Also, everyone keeps talking about her face, but don’t you notice her nails? Her hands are scarier.

iTunes is already streaming it too. What should I do〜? Ugh.

The cleavage when Azuki-san bows in the “Misty Mystery” making-of is incredible lol

If you look closely, the veins in her arms really stand out. Isn’t she too skinny?

>581 I noticed the nails too while watching NicoNico yesterday. I guess I really like her around this period. ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8gVdQvCm44 If you say it’s just age, that’s the end of the discussion, though.

>581 Same as >585—I noticed them on NicoNico Live yesterday too. Her nails had already been getting flashy for a while, though. She’s been praised and fawned over by everyone around her since she was young, so maybe she strongly resists getting older and deteriorating. It’s her freedom, of course… but I still prefer a natural look… I hope she doesn’t turn into Chihiro Onitsuka lol

>586 Hey lolｗｗｗ You mean Onitsukaｗｗｗ Her songs are good, though… I was shocked when I saw her on NicoNico Live the other day. I doubt she normally piles it on quite that much. I want to believe it was just her going-out look. More importantly, I was a little surprised yesterday when Mocchi himself mentioned that we’re getting older and so on. Oh, so that wasn’t taboo after all—that’s what I mean lol

Yuri-san in the “Timeless Sleep” PV is too much of an angel.

Yurippe’s nails look old-fashioned. Simple pinkish gel nails would suit her better.

>587 Oka-Mocchi has even said his own date of birth before, so…

What an idol band. Look at this thread. It’s gross.

>587 Ahh, yeah, they did say that〜 Anyway, we should go to events while we still can. If Mocchi is saying things like that, retirement probably isn’t too far off…

The new song gets its first airplay on today’s Recomen.

I’m really happy about the coupling-song best, but I’m worried at the same time. Almost all the coupling songs are good, and many singles have two of them, so if only one gets included, you’ll still need to own the singles. Making it a two-disc set would solve some of that, but I want them to limit it to songs that aren’t on albums at the very least.

>591 It’s amazing that the album’s out and people aren’t talking about the music at all. About 80% of the thread is looks talk, and when music does come up, it’s just stupid stuff like which album ranks higher lol 2ch is really reaching the end lol

Even when we talk about the songs, most of them are just rehashes of the past. They say they’re showing a new side of GARNET every time, but all I feel is repetition.

“Lonely Night” is the best.

“Women’s sexual desire peaks during the ten years from ages 35 to 45,” gynecologist explains. http://www.zakzak.co.jp/society/domestic/news/20110901/dms1109011113005-n1.htm

I’m fine as long as the coupling-song best doesn’t overlap with All Lovers or Disc 3 of the 10th Anniversary BEST.

“Elysium” and “Koi no Aima ni” give me goosebumps. The 7th was a miracle.

Equipment trouble on Fuji TV’s “FNS Music Festival” http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/6100665/ Arashi, called the most popular and national idol group at the height of their fame, also performed live, but their singing is making waves on message boards for being “too awful.” After the broadcast, message boards filled with criticism of Arashi’s singing ability, including “I stopped listening halfway through,” “a broadcasting accident,” and “the pitch has vanished into a maze.” At the same time, others blamed Fuji TV, citing “problems with the audio equipment.” There were also many comments comparing the members’ live singing and saying, “Only Ohno is good.” Looking closely at their appearance, Arashi’s voices don’t come out at the beginning of the song, leading to various guesses such as, “They were planning to lip-sync, but the vocals didn’t play, so they panicked and started singing, which is why no sound came out.” Since many other skilled artists also appeared, some more level-headed opinions said, “Arashi only stood out because the other singers were too good.” People criticized them, defended them, and reacted in various ways, but the scene showed that internet users have a strong interest in artists’ true singing ability.

Yurippe’s singing was kind of shaky in the old days too. She couldn’t get any sound out at all in “Wish,” right?

>600 I love “Hallelujah,” so hearing it live made me so happy I almost got a runny nose.

I don’t need Oka-Mocchi’s DVD lol

>585 I like her from around that time too.

【1st DVD】“Bootleg” Release date: Saturday, December 31, 2011 Catalog no.: SL-0001 Price: ¥4,200 (tax included) (¥4,000 before tax) That’s expensive lol

I was near the front at Mocchi’s live, so I might end up in the footage lolｗｗ Though it won’t matter if it was the Osaka show lol

>583 I see lol I’ll check it out.

>607 I see lol I’ll check it out.

It finally arrived. But it was shoved forcibly into the mailbox, got stuck, and wouldn’t come out lol I had no choice but to dismantle it inside the mailbox.

I wonder if they’ll play “Lonely Night” live. We might get to see Furui-san’s fiery performance.

I just noticed: doesn’t the intro to “live” sound briefly like ZARD’s “Listen to me”?

>585 There’s a limit to how cute she can be.

>612 I thought it sounded like Ikimono-gakari’s “Kimi ga Iru.” Only the “kokkoro-mo-yoou” part, though. I can’t remember what, but “Issho ni Kurasou” also sounded a little like someone else’s song. I’m not calling it plagiarism or anything.

Please include the Otabe experience footage from NicoNico Live as a bonus DVD with the next single.

They keep saying couples form at Gane lives, but we’re not really the kind of crowd that goes up and talks to women, are we?

I talked to the old guy next to me at the live venue and became best friends with him.

Even looking around, there wasn’t anyone I wanted to become friends with. The local shows weren’t bad, but Tokyo was a disaster. It’s a sacred site for otaku, after all.

Yurippe is cracking up lolｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Everyone wants to become friends with the Gane members, so they aren’t paying attention to anyone around them lol

>612 It sounds like the song from the opening of “History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi.”

There are kind of nothing but upbeat songs. I wish there were songs in the “The Crack-up” or “Elysium” vein too.

>610 That’s terrible. Mine came in a big box around 35 × 35 × 10 cm, though.

The guys who come to the lives are all creepy Akiba-style otaku lolｗｗｗｗｗｗ So gross lolｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Says the pot to the kettle.

>618 Agreed.

http://m.webry.info/at/ring/200611/article_3.htm

Please stop hating your own kind ＞＜

LOVE ChuChu and MUSIC FOCUS aired at exactly the same time, so I did a dual recording, but both segments were short. They were wearing the same clothes, so I wonder if they recorded both at the studio in one go.

Of course.

The title track “Memories” is the best. Thanks for continuing your activities even on a low budget.

I wish Yurippe would realize that men don’t like heavy makeup.

Maybe she does it to keep creepy otaku away.

I wonder if Yurippe and the others get bonuses too.

>633 I’ve never heard of such calculated heavy makeup lol

Yurippe in the “Sekai wa Mawaru~” PV is incredibly cute. This was her best era.

>594 >599 I want it to be a two-disc set too. Use songs outside the original-album tracks, the Best tracks, All Lovers, and Disc 3 of the 10th Anniversary BEST, and if things work out, maybe they could all fit on two discs. Please, record-company people! Great songs belong on albums so they can be listened to for years.

>632 ZARD’s Izumi Sakai was amazing for sticking with natural makeup.

With alternate versions of Gane songs, before listening I think, “Just leave this song alone,” but after hearing them I end up thinking, “Yeah, this works.”

>639 The only one that didn’t work for me was the falsetto version of “Rai Rai.”

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

I’ll work hard on Saturday and Sunday too.

>639 “As the Dew” was ruined in the rearrangement.

Let’s stop making album versions start with the chorus. It’s lame.

Namida no Yeeee-sterday

An unfinished tone resting on top of an aluminum can.

Total sales through yesterday *1 77,924 JIN AKANISHI *2 66,196 Sandaime J Soul Brothers *3 51,937 SHINee *4 31,448 KARA *5 20,361 Perfume *6 16,437 Toshinobu Kubota *7　*9,643 NICO Touches the Walls *8　*9,635 JUJU *9　*9,435 Hilcrhyme 10　*8,278 GARNET CROW Tuesday　*5,416 copies Wednesday　*2,862 copies

This is bad. Are we not going to make the top ten?

>648 The opponent being Saori Yuki of all people, lol Event people, do your best.

Judging by last time, they’ll probably boost the numbers through events. It’s an album, so it won’t work as well as with a single, though.

As expected, Perfume and the others are on a totally different level. Even people who aren’t fans are paying attention to JUJU’s release this time. To be charting alongside these names, Gane is surprisingly big.

>644 I actually liked the album version of “Namida no Yesterday.” It gives the song a sense of openness.

>496 Where can I see photos from α-STATION’s live show?

Johnny’s fans should do this much too lol You’re being half-assed lol The logs from the female-fan board. The person themselves appears from post 105 and starts spamming like a total maniac.

This album feels like strongly flavored food, huh?

Have the ticket results started coming out yet?

The troll’s pitch has vanished into a maze.

I’m home, Yurippe! It was especially cold today (((>_<)))

>634 Apparently not. I heard that recently, either at a live show in Osaka or at a fan-club gathering.

A.B.C-Z announces DVD debut The five-member Johnny’s Jr. unit A.B.C-Z attended the launch press conference on the 9th for “ABC-za Star Theater,” an entertainment show that will be their first solo starring production (February 4–29 next year, Tokyo’s Nissay Theatre), held in Tokyo, and announced as a surprise that they would make Johnny’s’ first “DVD debut.” The members, who specialize in acrobatics, apparently came up with the idea themselves as “the best way to show what we can do.” From now on, they will do their music activities only on DVD, without releasing any CDs at all.

Tonight’s M Station guests: Kis-My-Ft2, SMAP The performers for the annual Johnny’s Super Live will be announced tonight.

I went to Aeon earlier, and it’s indoors and smaller than I expected. If you’re buying CDs in bulk, I recommend buying them at one of Aeon’s specialty stores. You might be able to buy another copy through Aeon’s fun lottery.

>670 It was a place where you could see from the second and third floors too.

>674 Thanks. If it’s indoors, it probably feels even more cramped. But if you can see from above too, it should be okay.

If I just show up at the handshake event, I won’t make it in time. I’m going into Takoyaki the day before.

The new one is good〜

GARNET CROW’s name has disappeared from the Oricon album top ten. Are they not selling?

Maybe around 12,000 copies.

The chorus of “Lonely Night” sounds like a Hayami Kishimoto song.

Does “On the way” have a chorus similar to ZARD’s “Don’t you see”?

This album is good. JUDY, Seijaku no concerto, and Blue Regret are the three pillars!

>682 Seijaku, Lonely Night, and Blue Regret are good.

My favorites in order are Seijaku, Blue Regret, Memories, and Lonely Night.

Lake Town is close, so I’m heading over. @Adachi-ku

It’s gotten stale. I can’t keep up anymore.

Do I have to get to Lake Town before 10 to get a seat?

I think GARNET CROW is four people, so I wanted them to do the event as four people too.

Lake Town is huge〜 There’s a line, but the front row is probably going to be the voyeur-photographer Beckham and his crew again.

Is there quite a line?

I wonder if they’ll play Eiyuu. Waiting for the reportー

There was a pretty big line at Ikspiari, but weren’t there plenty of tickets?

Nana-sama’s presence is fading away.

You’re already lining up? Amazing.

Lake Town is getting a huge gathering of creepy otaku lol Families are going to be put off lol

I asked a staff member, and apparently they’ve passed 200 people. Would it be better to get a ticket for the second show if I go now?

JUDY’s another episode made me cry…

Tomorrow’s G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies has a filly named Garnet Charm, named by an owner who’s a huge GARNET fan. Every race she’s entered so far, she’s finished first—a spotless undefeated horse. Her pedigree is quite good too, and she’s starting from an outside gate, so she might win the G1 and become queen of the two-year-old fillies.

I don’t have a viewing-seat ticket, but I’m heading over now. Looking forward to the creepy otaku lol

>698 Isn’t she a club-owned horse?

Yurippe looks like Kiriko Isono.

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

I wonder if they travel by shinkansen.

That thing mentioned in the summer thread about taking a taxi home—was that about the live show?

They took measures to stop people from reserving the front-row space for their luggage, so the regulars couldn’t cheat lol

>698 What’s the basis for saying the horse was named by a GARNET superfan owner?

Tuesday　*5,416 copies Wednesday　*2,862 copies Thursday　*1,419 copies Total　*9,697 copies Probably number 11 right now.

>639 Here I am, someone who hates “Tsubomi.”

JUDY, Memories, and Seijaku no concerto are good. This time there seem to be a lot of songs that don’t really stand out or stick in my memory.

It’s starting a little late. I wonder why?

Yurippe looks old when you see her in person.

The heavy makeup says it all, etc.

Yurippe is a miraculous 34. Nana is an astonishing 38. Mocchi is a perfectly ordinary 35. The old man… you can’t read his expression behind those sunglasses.

An unusually cohesive album. You can listen to it smoothly all the way through without effort. But I still end up looping Seijaku no concerto a little lol

It started 23 minutes late and lasted about 30 minutes. Misty Mystery twice Some Blue thing Hideo Smiley Eden I think that was it.

Yurippe stumbled during Misty Mystery, so she sang it again. I also heard Blue Regret and Eiyuu during rehearsal, so technically those were played twice too. By the way, Blue Regret was arranged as a ballad and it was really good. Also, according to Yurippe, they’re doing Mini-Crow again at the next live, and Eiyuu is included. Some people say she looks old in person, but when I saw her while getting the poster, she actually looked incredibly young and beautiful, and I got nervous.

Seijaku and Regret are really growers. This album is good. It has depth.

>713 Mocchi on the regular-edition Memories jacket looks young for 35, and you could even say he looks cool.

Misty Mystery and the others are karaoke + Mocchi + Yurippe, right? In the Mini-Crow versions, the fine details of the singing really stand out depending on the song. Looking forward to the countdown, lol

>718 Mocchi turns into a different person in jacket photos. They call him the third member.

Blue Regret and Eiyuu, two songs, rehearsal. The event started late. 1. Misty Mystery (mistake) Start over. 1. Misty Mystery 2. Blue Regret 3. Eiyuu 4. Smiley Nation 5. Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de Poster handover event All 220 venue tickets sold out. 400 participation tickets for the poster event distributed.

The regulars have truly awful manners! They keep flashing their CDs, stand on chairs because they’re short, and even though they’ve reserved seats, they don’t think about people standing and urge everyone to stand at the end… Were these the same guys who started standing in the front seats at the Symphonic show?

Has anyone uploaded a recording of the whole one-day live appearance in Kyoto the other day?

4 p.m. show 1. Misty Mystery 2. JUDY (Japanese and English versions) 3. Eiyuu 4. Smiley Nation 5. Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de Eiyuu is planned for the third Mini-Crow release. Both members were there today, but the second show was probably better because it included JUDY and its rare English version. Yurippe is beautiful as always! Oka-Mocchi looks young!

By the way, the English version of JUDY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3l1RjYVp9Y

Hard-edged sentimentality, a melody that stands erect instead of flowing.

This person’s singing style is seriously unpleasant.

>722 Oh, those people. Two girls, a flashy guy with earrings, Candy, and so on, right? The flashy guy casually cut into the participation-ticket line, and it’s embarrassing that people like that are Gane fans… He stood out with reindeer antlers on and everything. The person who turned around and urged everyone to stand during the final “Eden” did get the crowd excited, and since it was a girl I can forgive her, though.

That thing about going easy on women… (etc.) Why do J-pop otaku all insist on getting excited in exactly the same way as everyone else? Everyone has their own way of listening. I don’t want to become one with the other Gane otaku.

I was debating whether to go, but there are people like that?

This album is good.

>728 I can’t forgive that red-haired old woman. Her manners were the worst.

Is the sound clipping in places on this album, or is it just mine…?

Today’s impressions: Yurippe and Oka-Mocchi are skinny. Yurippe’s singing voice really is great. At the end of the second show, the group made everyone stand, so I couldn’t see Gane (`･ω･)

>728 That group was making a fuss afterward, saying, “That was exciting.” But Yurippe “stayed seated and didn’t stand.” That’s Yurippe’s answer, isn’t it? She finds it annoying too.

>732 During the first show, they were making a vulgar racket outside the area. Most of the heckling and “cha-cha” stuff fell flat and was a nuisance. ┐(´д｀)┌ﾔﾚﾔﾚ

>733 If you mean it sounds rough rather than simply having bad sound quality, mine is the same.

>728 At the 1 p.m. show, I unknowingly stood right next to that group, and they were so loud it put me off. The flashy guy desperately tried to interact with Yurippe, but she completely ignored him, which made me laugh. The flashy guy was the one who first egged people on to stand at the end of the 4 p.m. show. I was in the same row, just in the neighboring block, so I know. The parent and child sitting quietly in the row in front of me just stared blankly. Also, that group kept running back to get posters multiple times. I’d hate for the people of Koshigaya to start thinking that Gane fans are all like them.

>732 She isn’t that old. If she were, her mental age would be seriously troubling. >738 The flashy guy was around number 80 in the queue, but was he in the front row? Either way, cutting in line is unforgivable!

The members probably hate him too lol

I went to the 4 p.m. event. Yurippe’s voice was in good shape and she sang well. I got a poster, and Yurippe is seriously cute. People have been badmouthing the regulars, but I think the event was more exciting thanks to them. It’d be lonely if people didn’t stand for the final “Eden,” at least.

The members probably feel reassured by having regular fans there too.

“Lonely Night” could become a crowd-hyping choreography song for lives. For example, raise both hands and clap while turning twice to the right and twice to the left, then do a variation during the “turn, turn” lyrics. I think that would be fun.

>739 The four people in the front row were the group of red-haired old ladies. The flashy guy was in the far-left block facing the stage, fourth row from the front. From a conversation during the 1 p.m. standing section (I could hear it whether I wanted to or not orz): “Our army () lol is spread out today, so we’ll cheer from every floor!” They were incredibly annoying. From the same conversation: They’re 25 or 26 (“Ten years ago, we were high-school students, huh”). They aren’t coming to the countdown. They’ll come to the March tour live → they live in Kanto and don’t have enough money to travel farther.

>737 I guess it’s just how it was made. It feels especially clipped around the choruses of Memories and Blue Regret.

>741 The regulars’ bad manners, you know… That red-haired old woman was unbelievable.

Seijaku no concerto is insane! I want to hear it at the countdown.

>741 >“Yurippe stayed seated and didn’t stand.” Just because you’re getting excited doesn’t mean anything goes. Gane fans have really fallen… >744 Thanks. There’s no way number 80 could’ve been in the front row. You’d think 25 or 26 was old enough to know better. If they aren’t enough of a fan to come to the countdown, I guess that’s all they are. Still, Kanto fans seem pretty low-level overall.

>743 Okay, actually do it and upload it to YouTube lol

Standing was a nuisance for Aeon too, right? There were thin-bald guys jumping around, and the vibrations could affect the merchandise or interfere with the escalators. The organizers provided chairs, so sitting in them is common sense. If people keep acting this senselessly at supermarket events, there may not be any more free GARNET events. I laughed when the nuisance regulars, who are mostly broke, left after getting only one poster.

What was Yurippe wearing today?

>750 The escalators actually stopped several times.

I mean they spent the whole day there but only got one poster. Most of the ordinary fans who lined up early in the morning got both types of poster.

>750 Yeah, that thin-bald guy was seriously disgusting. Read the room. By the way, there was a fan who bought around 15 copies, and Yurippe and the others gave him a little extra service. Since you can use them to enter the dressing-room invitation lottery, maybe it’s not that expensive.

>751 A fluttery dress.

>745 I noticed it too. I even checked because I thought it might have been compressed when imported. Memories sounds congested the whole time, like the cymbals and such. Maybe it’s a production choice.

>755 How much skin was showing?

>751 A polka-dot dress with a ponytail. Was it in one of the new album PVs? The necklace around her chest was lovely. If she bent over, you could definitely see cleavage. I was jealous when she whispered instructions to a male staff member during the sound check.

Some of GARNET CROW’s hardcore troublemakers are scary.

>758 What was she wearing on the bottom? Was it long?

The person who went with me said it was an old-lady-looking dress. I couldn’t admit that I own something similar. By the way, it was long.

I only saw the 1 p.m. show, but the fans on the right-hand side were awful… A few ageless-looking women with flowers in their hair were going “PIGYAA!!!” The guy nearby kept shouting something every few minutes, but every one of his lines fell flat and the venue was left laughing at him. The way he called out felt like heckling and made me uncomfortable. Yuri-san was blatantly ignoring them too, which made me think fans like that really are a nuisance. The live itself was amazing, though.

>761 “Old-lady-looking” is Yurippe’s fashion sense… It was a dress with a wide-open neckline, right?

>754 That thin-bald guy was jumping way too much. So annoying.

>733 There’s so much clipping this time that it’s pretty awful. Gane is supposed to be a creative collective… orz

I thought the clipping was caused by oscillation in my homemade headphone amp, but it was actually in the source… Oh, never mind.

>763 I don’t really remember. I watched the first show from the third floor and the second through gaps in the crowd, so I wasn’t paying attention to her neckline. Men probably look more closely at that kind of thing. But since >758 said her cleavage looked visible, it must’ve been pretty open.

I wonder if Yurippe is watching the total lunar eclipse. It’s about 70% covered right now. Apparently the peak is around 23:30.

You’re right! It was a full moon today, but now it’s covered. That was a nice thing to see. Thanks.

Yurippe is sleeping peacefully next to me.

So, summing up today’s event: ・the thin-bald guy ・the red-haired old woman in front who made everyone stand during Eden ・the short guy in a Santa hat who stood on a chair in the back and moved to the front after Eden ・the flashy guy with reindeer antlers and the women around him They were all nuisances, right?

>770 Oka-Mocchi has appeared.

I thought the poster was signed only by Yurippe and Oka-Mocchi, but it’s actually signed by all four members.

>771 Yep. I won’t forgive that red-haired old woman!

“Lonely Night” might be good as the final song of a live.

Is there anyone here who saw her cleavage when she bowed?

Are the events really that bad? I’ve only been to the Symphonic show, so I don’t know the regulars.

I was a little pissed when the red-haired old woman and the short guy cut in line using acquaintances, but the short one was a woman who smoked and even hit the Aeon ceiling with a hand warmer. Absolutely the worst.

>778 That shitty short one was annoying too. There was also a creepy guy with earphones talking to himself.

I couldn’t see Yurippe well because she was hidden behind a speaker… I should’ve come earlier…

We don’t need any more troublemaker updates.

“Lonely Night” has a great accompaniment.

She doesn’t look anything like her.

Yurippe is in the program blogs for radio appearances like NACK5 too, right? Let’s upload the images.

Was ugly Yoko, famous for “Oka-Mocchi, marry meー,” and her entourage at today’s event?

>786 There was a noisy old woman screaming, but I don’t know if it was them.

G-NET should come up with measures against people with bad manners, and if they’re nearby we should stop them even if it means arguing with them. Lots of artists have abandoned shows or stopped them halfway because of heckling and bad manners. The GARNET CROW members are kind, so they probably put up with it, but what if live shows become a source of mental stress and interfere with their music activities? Standing at the Symphonic live was completely out of the question too. Their manners are far too bad. From now on, we should do everything we can to stop people who disrupt lives.

I first learned about them from a Conan theme song, but they’re weird—more precisely, that’s a weird voice. It’s muffled and unpleasant. How can someone sing professionally with a voice like that?

>788 Exactly. Yuri-san is so kind. Oka-Mocchi just gives an awkward laugh too.

>788 I’m >722. Exactly! I kept wondering whether I was just too narrow-minded because I was irritated the whole time, but it was simply that everyone else was being mature and sensible. It completely ruined the mood for me during the final Eden. The people standing had been on their feet for hours for that moment, but couldn’t see when it mattered… At a live show you can’t help it if you can’t see, but an event is something everyone is supposed to watch together, right!? Yurippe’s smile helped cancel it out somewhat, and I went home. Thanks to everyone who commented!

Since the countdown is in Kansai, ugly Yoko and her Mixi entourage will probably come too. They’ll probably push through the crowd while talking on their phones, ignoring their queue numbers as usual, and force their way over to their friends near the front. They’ll keep doing it forever, I bet.

>723 Here you go. http://ll.la/BiSY Oka-Mocchi

>793 Thanks from the side ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡

Seriously, respect to everyone who attended the event. Would it be a nuisance to ask the staff to deal with the troublemaker issue? Through the website contact form, fan-club email, live-show questionnaires, blog applause comments, and so on. If we wanted to go further, we could even use a petition site. The members probably do dislike them, and if they knew other fans were uncomfortable too, couldn’t they do something? I’ve put up with it until now, but I’m at my limit. It’s hard to warn them during a live show, and if we go in aggressively, we might just cause trouble for the organizers instead.

There was a ZARD live where two shows took place at the same venue on consecutive days. On the second day, when Sakai-san was talking, someone heckled, “Say something different today!” The audience turned toward where the heckle came from and all scolded the person. In the end, they were thrown out of the venue. GARNET CROW fans should be like that too. Heckling and excessive behavior that ignores manners don’t just cut a live performance in half; they’re violence that destroys the live itself. From now on, we absolutely must not tolerate heckling or excessive behavior.

I’m going to a B’z live today.

There are idiots who don’t know basic manners everywhere. What a pain.

>796 Maybe that’s how it should be. Honestly, saying here in the thread that the heckling was annoying won’t do much. If you really want to stop it, warn them on the spot.

Reading this thread has started to make me scared to go to the countdown and the March live… lol

I’d like to say something to people like that at the countdown, but I’m too chicken to actually do it. I feel like they’d tell me that saying something is noisy too, or lecture me about manners… But I still want to say something.

>793 Thanks! They’re even more freewheeling on the radio lolｗｗ I love Yurippe’s carefree laugh.

>792 > They’ll push through the crowd while talking on their phones, ignoring their queue numbers, and force their way over to their friends near the front as usual. > They’ll keep doing it forever, I bet. That’s awful. It’s hard to come up with countermeasures, though…

>801 They’re a group, so they can’t make calm judgments. They might gather and beat you up after the show, you know. Hmm.

The GARNET CROW murder case.

Question for anyone who bought both the first press and regular editions. Is the content of the lyric card (booklet?) different?

>795 I only heard this secondhand, but apparently someone directly emailed the management after the Symphonic show or whatever. Apparently they never got a reply. Personally, I can’t help wondering what’s wrong with a situation where people who like the same thing have to fight with each other. My impression is that the 9th has no throwaway tracks. Nana-san wrote that the gap between the 8th and 9th was the shortest, but it really doesn’t feel that way.

Isn’t anyone going to Abeno Q’s Mall?

I’m here. It looks like there are still participation tickets left. A few people have started waiting in the front row of the free area behind the priority area. The free area might be easier to watch from at a leisurely pace.

■Troublemaker arrested Two unemployed 18-year-old girls were arrested for assaulting a second-year middle-school girl who was rumored to have exchanged emails with a Johnny’s Jr. member.

>796 That scene appears on the ZARD live DVD, so I guess they really were thrown out lolｗｗｗｗ Sakai-san just covered it up with an awkward laugh, though.

Yesterday in Koshigaya, I arrived at 6:30 a.m. and was around number 20. I got a priority seat for the second show first, so even though I lined up again, I couldn’t get a priority seat for the first show. Apparently nearly 400 people were lined up by 10 a.m. The first person apparently arrived around 3 a.m. Compared with Kanto, the local Kansai event had plenty of room. I’m jealous.

>793 I got it. Thank you.

>812 Kanto has three times the population, and probably five times as many fans (because there are more young people).

According to Twitter, Yasu from Being’s Real Reach is apparently at the event watching.

Total through yesterday Tuesday　*5,416 copies Wednesday　*2,862 copies Thursday　*1,419 copies Friday　*1,085 copies Total　10,782 copies They’re number 11 right now, and number 10 has 12,306 copies　NICO Touches the Walls

>801 I reached my limit and directly warned them when they cut in, but they ignored me and kept barging in. I know there’s no point saying anything to people like that, but I wish they wouldn’t ruin everyone’s precious fun time. Why do fans of the same thing have to fight over stuff like this?

They aren’t selling very well. Did they lose fans because of the previous album?

They need some kind of boost. There’s a world of difference between the top ten and number 11.

I think yesterday’s event alone sold 1,000 copies. I’d been holding off on buying too, until yesterday.

Are there still participation tickets left?

These sales would normally be enough to get into the top ten. The only reason is that other releases happened to sell well this time. They’ve sold 10,000, so commercially they’ve met their quota. The attempt to boost things by exposing Yurippe and destroying her mystique has failed. I’m not saying they should hide her as much as Komatsu, though…

Abeno, 13:00〜 Misty Mystery Blue Regret Eiyuu Smiley Eden Mr. Eiyuu showed up lol. Is that a joke?

The countdown live ends in the middle of the night, so what do we do with our luggage? The lockers inside the station won’t be accessible, right? I’m scared of getting crushed if it’s all standing.

It’s New Year’s, so the trains in the metropolitan area will be running.

>823 I wanted to go to Abeno! Was it crowded? Details, please.

There are lockers at the venue, I think.

>824 There are coin lockers at the nearest subway, JR, and Hanshin stations too. If you’re worried about the geography, leaving it in a coin locker at JR Osaka Station will be fine. JR, subway, and private railways run through the night to transport New Year shrine visitors, so I don’t think you’ll be unable to get help because there are no station staff.

I forgot it was all standing. Carrying a bag the whole time would make my shoulder ache, so maybe I’ll go empty-handed.

It’ll bother the other customers too. Everyone will be happier if you do that.

Yesterday’s setlist + “Hachigatsu no Yoru” as an encore at the second show.

There would’ve been an encore yesterday too if people hadn’t broken the standing-show rules.

The women in red from yesterday are shown in close-up if you watch the YouTube video of the Over Drive Toyosu event.

>825 >827–828 Thanks. With an all-standing show, you can’t go to the bathroom right before it starts, can you? Just to warn you in advance, if I get diarrhea during the live and shit myself, sorry… Sorry (´；ω；｀)

Since it’s an album, if it sells 10,000 copies, the artists get around ¥300,000 in fees, right? It’s a pretty harsh world.

Not many posts! And not many customers either.

I didn’t understand why everyone stood at the end in Saitama. Wouldn’t everyone be happier if they could all see?

>837 There really are people who don’t understand that.

>835 http://netatama.net/archives/4193376.html

Not many posts, so I’ll write one! It was funny hearing why they couldn’t do requests like “Sky” and “Over Drive,” or other encore requests! Since it’s already decided anyway, there’s no point requesting anything! Why do they say every time that people met at lives and got boyfriends or girlfriends, or met and got married?

Why couldn’t they do it?

>841 I don’t remember exactly, but it was something like they were hibernating or making adjustments!

Thank you!

>840 To keep the creepy otaku away.

>843 What I wrote was mostly wrong, but that’s the general idea!

>844 There’s no way you can keep creepy otaku away! It’s a shame that the music is wonderful but the fanbase never grows! Yurippe said something about them being famous from Conan, but are the adults who go to Conan movies mostly people like Gane fans?

Congrats to AKB on not being selected for the Record Awards.

There are so many weird fans that I hesitate to go to events and lives…

I’m fine with things as they are now. If they got too popular, the media would be clamoring for them and they might not be able to focus on making music. It’s difficult to maintain the status quo, but I think they’re doing things in a good balance right now, and it suits them.

Are the breakup rumors true??

>850 The breakup rumors have been going on for years, so don’t worry lolｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ “Seijaku no concerto” is way too much of a masterpiece! I like how this album overall has a lot of piano-centered sounds.

Yurippe is Conan’s big sister. Mocchi is… (etc.)

What was Q’s Mall like? Does the low number of posts mean there weren’t many 2ch users there?

The people who still worship the Record Awards are executive producer Ikuo Suo and the enka crowd.

>853 I watched both the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. shows, and around 250 people were in the priority area for each. Q’s Mall was full of families who looked like they might watch Conan, but there didn’t seem to be many casual customers… Though it was cold outside too, so it was a little lonely.

>831 What──there was an encore?! I went to Ito-Yokado after Eden ended because I thought there wouldn’t be anything else. So unlike Nishinomiya, Abeno also has encores, huh. >853 The audience size was moderate both times. There weren’t any idiots jumping around. Kansai has better public manners. In Yurippe’s MC during the second show, it was casually mentioned that Yurippe’s body double in the Misty PV is named Yuria, which I found amusing. They said the third Mini-Crow CD is planned for release at the countdown live venue (though the wording didn’t sound completely confirmed). Apparently it will include the Mini-Crow version of Hideo too.

>834 So you’ve already had an accident like that before…?

>856 Today’s encore was “Hachigatsu no Yoru” too.

Do you think it’ll be tough to get tickets for the March Osaka live through the general sale?

I went to Abeno. I arrived around 8:15, and 30–40 people were already waiting. I got a queue number at 10:15 without any trouble, in the 20s for the 1 p.m. show. There was a rehearsal from around noon. I watched from near the front at the side. The 1 p.m. setlist was: 1. Misty Mystery 2. Blue Regret 3. Eiyuu 4. Smiley Nation 5. Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de I watched the 4 p.m. show from above. The second song was different: a mix of the Japanese and English versions of JUDY. Anyway, it was fun! Sorry for the long post…

What kind of seats do you get through the general ticket lottery? I applied for the former JCB Hall.

Second floor.

Even on the second floor, venues with side sections are nice because they’re close and easy to see from.

Forget lives and just focus on composing.

I’m gradually starting to genuinely understand what’s good about “concerto.” It’s fun how you understand it little by little. It’s kind of like studying.

Ten years later… “Detective Conan” begins serialization of Chapter 2. http://bit.ly/t814z5 #kyokonews

>864 They’ve wrapped things up for now, so starting next year is fine lol

>835 Is it really that little? There’s no way that can be right.

Thanks for the Abeno report! Ahh, I wish I’d gone.

Apparently Oka-Mocchi had curry for lunch, by the way.

Oka-Mocchi likes curry, right?

The pier on the first-press album jacket made me think of Fukuurabashi Bridge in Matsushima. The scenery kind of looks like Matsushima.

>859 So far, it seems people have been able to buy them through the general sale, but this time I’m worried because the venue is smaller. Hope you can get one.

I’ve decided to graduate from being a GARNET CROW fan. Being an idol fan really didn’t last for me after all. From now on I’m going to go to live houses and search for the real rock I’m looking for. Goodbye. Thanks.

Okay, goodbye.

I want Yuri-san to smack me on the head.

Yuri-san in black and white in “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” was so beautiful I was stunned. Was I the only one?

>874 Agreed! AKB48, the rock group, is truly wonderful, right? Types like Arashi, who really show their ability when singing live, are great too. And you admire music with a strong commitment to authenticity, like EXILE, right? Let’s keep supporting this kind of music from now on. Let’s never have anything to do with GARNET CROW again. That’s all.

EXILE is seriously cool. Only two of them sing while the rest dance in the back. They even only participate in the CDs as dancing people on the jacket, and it’s seriously cool.

What was Yurippe wearing at the Abeno event?

By the way, when will the fan-club ticket results be announced? Will it make the Musing deadline?

>859 The Osaka venue is large. You should be able to buy one normally.

>880 Post-event photos from HMV: http://p.twipple.jp/vhB63 I think the skirt was the same as in Saitama… Since it was outdoors, she wore something warm over it. The rehearsal was different clothes, though I don’t know if they were her own. I don’t remember what they looked like…

>883 They both always do that pose, don’t they?

>884 http://fm-kyoto.jp/blog/kyoto_air_lounge/IMGP0418.jpg http://fm-kyoto.jp/blog/kyoto_air_lounge/IMGP0417.jpg http://fm-kyoto.jp/blog/stardust_parade/garnetcrow.jpg http://www.allnightnippon.com/program/gb/gbann58.jpg

I’ll work hard for Yuri-san again today.

It’s impressively nothing but double peace signs lol

Women often do double peace signs, so it’s understandable if you consider Yuri-san’s age, but what’s that “goo goo goo” thing Mocchi does?

The accepted theory is that double peace signs are used to hide the outline of the face.

3　*6,878　GARNET CROW 10　parallel universe　15,773 copies　22,911 copies Tuesday　*5,416 copies Wednesday　*2,862 copies Thursday　*1,419 copies Friday　*1,085 copies Saturday　*1,404 copies Total　12,186 copies Currently number 10 is NICO Touches the Walls with 13,747 copies. Unfortunately, it looks like they’ll be number 11 for the week.

>883 They’re definitely dating. They’re so lovey-dovey.

They’ve been working together for ten years. There’s no way they’re dating.

http://www.hotexpress.co.jp/interview/111205_garnetcrow/ That was interesting.

>893 It is interesting. I like “Smiley” even more now.

Here come the “they’re dating” detectives again lol Why would Mocchi, who has every desirable trait, choose a woman over thirty? With Yurippe’s beauty, she could catch a more handsome or wealthier man than some unremarkable guitarist. From either perspective, doesn’t it seem unlikely?

Yurippe looking down from above.

Top ten is impossible… but the prediction of 12,000–13,000 first-week copies looks like it’ll be right.

Run, Yurippe.

>885 The person in the middle of the last photo lolｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Blue Regret changes into “Timeless Sleep” before the chorus.

Did the α-STATION radio show and Golden Bomber happen on the same day? Yurippe was wearing the same clothes.

Same dayーー

Around 9:20 a.m. on the 26th, a man who had been transported from the cabaret club “Club Ism” in Tsubaki-cho, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, was in cardiopulmonary arrest and died at the hospital he was taken to. According to Nakamura Police Station, the deceased appears to have been a male employee in his 30s, and they are questioning several employees of the establishment. According to the city fire department, the 119 call was from a man saying, “Someone collapsed. Please send an ambulance as soon as possible.” Nakamura Police believe the man died after being beaten and are investigating the circumstances at the time. The scene is in the entertainment district west of Nagoya Station. http://www.chunichi.co.jp/s/article/2011112690135512.html

After Oka-Mocchi’s returning show, I wonder if they hurriedly recorded the 10 p.m. segment and then immediately took the shinkansen to Tokyo.

The last shinkansen to Tokyo leaves at 9:30. If they had enough time to catch it, that’s probably what happened.

Wait, there are encores?! Nice. As expected, Tokyo… Though it wasn’t Tokyo…

Testing, testing.

I was tempted by the 10× Ponta points and bought Memories at HMV on Saturday lol I was worried it might be sold out, but I got it with no trouble at all…

Tobi, New Year’s concert ticket results have started.

I can’t get through on the phone.

I think Yurippe suits SM2 clothes.

I don’t know Osaka at all. Isn’t the Dojima River Forum a tough walk from Umeda?

Sorry to change the subject, but are lives fun? I’m thinking about going to the March live, but would a guy going alone stand out?

I lost the Takoyaki lottery again… Three shows at Osaka-jō Hall aren’t enough.

Yurippe said, “We enjoy lives the most too,” so please come. There are lots of men and women who come alone.

>912 I walked there from Umeda last year, and it took about 20 minutes. >913 Totally fine. Don’t worry about it.

I haven’t been either, but yesterday everyone in front of me was doing the same movements during Eden, and I thought, “Do I have to copy them? That sounds impossible…”

Apparently the couple that a radio personality forcibly paired up on Nagoya radio last year is dating.

Kansai Happy New Year concert results have started lolｗｗｗｗ

>913 I’ve only been to five shows, so I can’t act like an expert, but there are tons of men who go alone〜 Of course there are groups and couples too, but being alone doesn’t make you stand out at all. There are people of every age, young and old. I’m going alone too. Just go and don’t worry!

>917 I really don’t get it… I’m bad at that kind of group behavior. But like >916 said, I shouldn’t worry about it. I’ll apply for Osaka.

>917 I can’t do the choreography for “wish★,” so I never do it. Don’t worry about it lol

>922 On the contrary, I’m confident I can do “wish★.” I should be able to do “Miss You, Holy” too.

I could do it if Yuri-san taught me step by step.

I won Yokohama Arena without incident… Even so, the Takoyaki odds are high every time. This time, with the members appearing in dramas one after another, there won’t be any surprise additional shows. There aren’t any Nagoya shows either.

The staff blog finally has a serious-faced Oka-Mocchi.

A song I remembered after listening to “Lonely Night” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MHW69E15zA

Why is this thread full of nothing but creepy people?

Mocchi had his soul sucked out.

I want to pour Nana-sama’s pee over rice and eat it slurpily.

The last three Takoyaki tickets lol I’ll buy one for 1.5 even if it’s an upper stand seat.

>913 Don’t worry about it at all. Dance more wildly than anyone else.

I always go alone.

Yurippe doesn’t make peace signs with both hands in photos to hide the outline of her face. I once read in a magazine that the two-handed peace signs represent the four members of GARNET CROW.

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

The KANONJI credit disappeared. Is everything okay!?

The members encourage everyone to do the choreography, clap, and sing along, so all you have to do is respond to them. I think a live is more fun when you respond than when you ignore them. Abeno’s stage was low, and many people couldn’t see, so it was unavoidable that the crowd was unusually unresponsive.

>735 You mean Yurippe sang while sitting down? Did they hand out the Lake Town posters while sitting too?

Then they should come as four people.

Is there anywhere I can see what Yurippe wore at Aeon Lake Town? Maybe someone uploaded photos somewhere, like the one in >883?

Looks like they’ll put out an album in spring, so I’m going all-out in spring. This time, with the members’ dramas affecting things, the period and number of shows are both limited, so it can’t be helped.

>935 I thought you meant Naomi Tamura.

>938 Speaking from the sidelines, both Yurippe and Oka-Mocchi were sitting down. They stood up when handing out the posters, though Oka-Mocchi was the one who actually handed them over lol

Where’s the chorus in “Nora”? It kind of just keeps going quietly on the melody the whole time, huh. Feels like GARNET has a lot of songs like this.

I thought the chorus started around “When I become a bird~”

Kumi Koda (29) gets married. Yurippe, you keep at it too.

>945 No matter how you listen to it, that’s obviously it.

Way back, I once heard the demo of “Hana wa Saite,” and the guide vocal was all in Korean. The “Tobitatsu yume wo mitemo” part was literally “saranghaeyo,” and it gave me chills. It made me think the possibility that Yurippe is Zainichi might actually be real.

Huh, >948 is out drinking. What about work?

>726 “Mawarimichi.”

Kumi Koda dated the guy she co-starred with, but Yurippe doesn’t seem to have met anyone yet.

I listened to “Memories,” and it was better than the previous album. The first half was kinda meh, but everything from “Lonely Night” to the end was great.

The “Eden no Chance” and “Spark” parts— I want Yuri-san to sing them…

>953 Same.

What are they saying in the rap part of “Nakenai yoru mo Nakanai asa mo”? Does Yurippe even know the lyrics?

>949 I’m an unemployed 35-year-old, though?

There is a part that sounds like “itoshii genjitsu~,” though.

Yurippe seems to know the lyrics. I saw her mouthing along during the rap in a YouTube video too.

Tuesday *5,416 copies Wednesday *2,862 copies Thursday *1,419 copies Friday *1,085 copies Saturday *1,404 copies Sunday *1,109 copies Total 13,295 copies With the weekly adjustment ×1.01, probably around 13,427 copies, so maybe 11th place.

Sorry about that. This old man hasn’t bought it yet because he’s broke. I mean, if Nana came to lame-ass Saitama, I would’ve bought two or three copies while I was there to see her.

w

I’ll keep doing my best for Yuri-san today too.

Who sings that rap?

The weekly rankings are out. 10th: NICO Touches the Walls, 15,104 copies 11th: GARNET CROW, 13,798 copies “parallel universe” first-week sales: 15,773 copies Total: 22,911 copies

I’ve heard Furui-san’s singing voice before, but I’ve never heard Nana-pe’s. Has she ever sung somewhere?

Did it lose to ParaYuni in first-week sales? I think “Memories” is the better album, so I hope it picks up from here.

They do say the reception of the previous album becomes the sales of the next one.

You gutless scum, lower than trash!!! If you’re going to spit out insults at other people in a place like this, then go warn them to their faces at the venue!!! Try thinking about how the people who’ve been hurt by reading the posts here feel!!!

>967 Nice work, Mr. Children stans.

>968 Are you Yoko-san, who always ignores the mood and shouts “Oka-Mocchi, marry me!”? lol

>968 That’s rich, coming from someone who can’t consider the feelings of the people being inconvenienced at the venue.

>912 It’s not tough if you know the way. It takes less than 30 minutes. With a smartphone, it should be easy. >913 I’m going to the countdown alone as a guy.

>972 Oh, me too.

>972-973 Do your part for the couple-formation rate.

“Memories” is such a good album, so sell more already… thirteen thousand? SPARKLE / 73,010 copies Crystallize / 45,163 copies I’m waiting 4 you / 35,917 copies THE TWILIGHT VALLEY / 36,060 copies For an artist whose sales are usually front-loaded, the crucial first-week numbers are declining…

>968 Hurt? Why would you guys who caused trouble for other people be hurt? lol You can’t talk directly to a lunatic because Japanese doesn’t get through to them. Even now, you guys still don’t understand that what you’re doing is a nuisance, do you? And tell that flashy guy wearing earrings in both ears: Don’t cut in line, you moron!

SPARKLE sold that much?

SPARKLE sold around 150,000–160,000 copies total, right? That’s the effect of “Yume Mita,” I guess.

JUDY’s low end resonates way too much.

Tomorrow is the release date for THE BEST OF DETECTIVE CONAN 4 ~Detective Conan Theme Song Collection 4~

I’m busy with a rush of concerts from New Year’s onward lol I have to apply for Ebi and KAT-TUN this month… Will 20 be enough?

I want to watch Sugiuchi’s Giants love with Yurippe at Tokyo Dome.

>978 SPARKLE is the only GARNET work, across both singles and albums, to make the Top 10 for three consecutive weeks (4th → 10th → 10th). It sold well, probably because of the “Yume Mita” effect.

“Namida no Yesterday” feels like it’s actually underrated because it’s a catchy single.

>985 It kept doing well for quite a while even after “Yume Mita,” right?

>989 I got the date for “Memories” wrong. 2011/12/07 is correct.

Apparently there was a Being audition on Kuraki’s blog. Could there be a chance that GARNET’s members produce someone?

>964 Isn’t this seriously bad? Even if sales grow from here, it’ll probably only be around 15,000 copies.

ParaYuni had “Over Drive,” which was used in a Conan movie, so purchases probably increased among families with children. Of course, buying online is another route too. This level is probably about what you’d naturally expect.

>989 It’s steadily tapering off, isn’t it?

They should keep increasing the live shows.

>991 Officially classified as a scam audition.

Things started trending downward once the two people on vocals and guitar began taking the front.

>997 Give us a break with Mini-Crow and stuff.

If this is 999, I can marry Yuri-san.

Even if I string together words beyond >1000…
