Fart Say! Jump.

Cunt.

It's Ikimono-gakari on M Station, not GARNET CROW, you know.

“Super Deli” is nice, huh? w A god-tier song. The first-press A and B editions seem to be sold out too—unlike some shitty group with unsold stock piled up everywhere.

Isn't Kimutaku's acting exactly the same no matter what role he plays?

I listened to GARNET CROW a lot while studying for exams〜 I remember it every year around this time. It must be about the fifth time now.

【Entertainment】4th “Beautiful Lips Ranking”: Satomi Ishihara takes first place for the first time, “delighted” http://m2ch.com/m/r/awabi.2ch.net/mnewsplus/1330055304/ I thought Yulippe would be number one...

I want Yulippe to give me a slow, heavy blowjob with those sexy lips of hers.

The lyrics to “Kimi-zure” are sublime.

I'll do my best this afternoon for GARNET CROW.

Yulippe in the straw hat in “Namida no Yesterday” is so cute.

I can't wait for the LIVE.

@25@94@110@回シ

Please tell me which songs weren't included on the coupling best-of.

Leaving out Oruraba and the Premium Disc, did I miss these when I compiled the list? Timing やさしい雨 祭りのじかん いつかまた会いましょう 風の音だけをきいて Ring Ring a ding la-la-laそれから１，２，３ I can't take clock work CANDY POP 幸福なペット cried a little over blow 失われた物語 If there are any others, please correct/add them.

What about “Iro of the Sunflower”?

If you include alternate versions and stuff, it looks like there'd be even more.

It's a mystery that “Over blow” wasn't included.

Is “Obaburo Elysium Crack Up” not a B-side?

Good night, Azuki-san〜

*1 *1 *1→*1　Hey! Say! JUMP　18,556 Looks like it's sold out w

“Shiawase na Pet” is such a cute song, though〜

“Iro of the Sunflower” and “Elysium Crack Up” aren't B-sides; they're album tracks, right?

>37 Oh, I see. They're all good, though.

I feel like making these a three-disc set with the English version of JUDY added would have made it a bit more worthwhile.

Okamocchi is a member of grram.

Cunt.

I'll keep doing my best for GARNET CROW on Sunday too.

Cunt!

They were playing “Misty” at FamilyMart.

The live is a week away. Hope I don't catch a cold.

Daily single chart *1-*1*1*1→*1　15,537　Hey! Say! JUMP

Cunt?

Yeah, it's a cunt.

I want to lick Yulippe's cunt.

I'm not sure about a 34-year-old's cunt. Hisakawa-san's would be better, right?

One week until the Osaka live. I wonder what the setlist will be like. I'll boldly predict that the first song will be Go For It.

It's a shame they didn't include all the coupling songs, but if they'd included them all, it would also feel like they're entering the wrap-up phase, so maybe this is for the best.

Yeah, exactly.

I want to lick Yulippe's cunt.

Yeah, exactly.

That's what you call the husband's privilege.

My privilege?

“Memories” is a pretty satisfying album to listen to.

I want to get Yulippe pregnant.

>58 I prefer “Stay” and “ParaUni.”

Personally, I would've preferred them arranged neatly in release order. Make it about three discs.

The coupling best-of— so tomorrow's finally the day we can get it early?

I wonder if they'll fix Hummer.

I want to lick Yulippe's cunt.

The ticket prices for this live have shot up like crazy on the auctions. Even seats at the back of the second floor are over 10,000 yen.

>65 I couldn't get a ticket, so I thought maybe I'd buy one at auction... but they're too expensive for me.

>66 They're expensive, lol. Usually at this point right before the event, they go below face value.

Shipping email came━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!! I wonder if it'll arrive tomorrow. It's been a while since I got something early from Amazon.

Daily single chart *1*1*1*1*1-*1　12,585　Hey! Say! JUMP

>54 I want to lick her too.

It's going up because it's the final live, right?

Seeing Mayuyu's commercial, Yulippe could totally pull it off too. I wish she'd do an idol-like commercial like that.

>50 Who is that person?

GARNET CROW.

So you can get the coupling best-of early tomorrow.

It's Ikimono-gakari on TBS's Kamisun (・_・;) It's not GARNET CROW.

I'm seriously looking forward to the coupling best-of. I usually rent CDs and stuff, but I'm buying this one.

How the hell are “Kaze no Oto Dake wo Kiite,” “Overblow,” and “Matsuri no Ato” not included?

I seriously have no interest in a coupling best-of. The first three albums were the best.

If they did a live with only songs from the third album, I'd go even if it cost 10,000 yen.

I bought it specifically for the English version...

“Matsuri no Ato” is Kuwata's, right? It's “Matsuri no Jikan.”

I'll start doing my best again for Yuli-san today.

I want to buy the CD at the live venue, but I wonder if the merch sales have improved. If it's still that countdown-style setup, it'll kill my desire to buy it.

They didn't have it at TSUTAYA. Maybe it's still too early.

HMV gives five times the points on Wednesdays, so I'll wait until tomorrow.

4,000 yen is expensive. Maybe I'll skip it.

>87 >87 >87

Garnet Time is really fun. Azuki-san's cutesy act is fantastic.

You can see Furui-san's hard work in the coupling best-of. It's not so much remastering as adjusting the sound to make it more uniform.

The early sound was pretty awful from an audio standpoint... Though some people might think it was good in its own way.

Furui-san must've had the hardest time this time. Okamocchi & Yulippe: promotion Furui-san: remastering What was Nana-san doing?

I'm thinking of skipping this live because of scheduling. Does anyone want a ticket? If you do, tell me how badly you want to go.

Weekly singles chart #1　248,778　Hey! Say! JUMP Weekly albums chart #1　110,055　　KAT-TUN

Cold.

I want Yulippe's genitals to warm my penis.

It's a leap year this year.

I guess you could say it's easier to listen to, or that the sound feels clearer.

I swung by TSUTAYA on my way home from work and got the CD.

Yulippe looks way too young on the bonus DVD.

I like the hairstyle from around the “Hare Dokei” PV.

>101 The “Hare Dokei” PV is great. Yulippe spinning around is adorable.

Are some of the PVs on this DVD ones that have never been commercially released?

I bought the regular edition. I'll order the limited edition online. Furui-san does great work. The sound is crystal clear—awesome!

>103 Not entirely. “Over Drive” has been included on the album and on the DVD single. “JUDY” is just a different version; the Japanese version was included on the DVD edition of “Memories.”

Hmm, this is the first time “Over Drive” has been put on video. The first-press edition of “Over Drive” came with the “As the Dew” PV, and the first-press album edition had footage of the symphonic concert.

Just announcing the number-one spot isn't very interesting. If you're going to announce it, I wish they'd announce them all.

Songs I'd like Yuli Nakamura to cover, series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-apnKHCgCZE This one's amazing!!!!!!

I guess I'll buy the CD at the live venue for the poster...

Amazon should arrive tomorrow, I guess. By the way, the intro to the LUX shampoo and conditioner commercial song sounds incredibly similar to “Smiley Nation,” but “Smiley Nation” came first, right?

Chinese Youku is pretty good. They have footage from Garnet Time and the radio promotions on there. Yulippe says Furui-san is more mysterious than Azuki-san.

Amazon shipping notice arrived!

What should I do about the album cover images from now on when importing albums into iTunes? This is a problem...

Ah, the live is getting close.

Osaka city employee exposed tattoos to children at a facility and threatened them with “I'll kill you”; also suspended for sexually harassing a coworker → yet received a high evaluation in the bonus assessment. http://uni.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1330398247/l50

Yuli-san is too beautiful...

Yulippe is way too cute.

So, has the sound actually gotten better?

Technology is advancing.

I listened to the English version of “JUDY” and it's good. I'm going to memorize it completely and sing it at karaoke. On a different note, I got a 94 singing GARNET CROW's “Sora ni Hanabi” at karaoke.

>110 Probably just a coincidence. Nobody knows the shitty songs of some ultra-obscure pervert band like GARNET CROW.

It's the Osaka LIVE this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it o(^▽^)o

Does the first-press DVD include all the songs in full?

I want to have sex with Nana-chan.

“concerto” in the morning is god-tier.

http://e.mjmj.be/sZPX6beAQK/

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

I thought it had died.

Finally got my hands on “Mawari Michi,” ZE.

“Tatoeba 12-gatsu no Yoru ni” is nice.

Eighth place today.

Eighth on Oricon's first day. There are a lot of diehard fans who already own every song, so it won't sell without new songs. I bought the first-press edition, but ultimately it was just for the PVs.

“GOODBYE LONELY” and “Memories”—is this band going to be okay? Figures, with GIZA...

I had a feeling like that too, but there's an event at the end of March, so maybe they'll keep going a little longer.

What event?

Yulippe with light makeup is adorable on the B-side first-press DVDーーー Though the final “JUDY” is Sayuri from Katsumi & Sayuri, lol.

>124 I want to do it like crazy morning, noon, and night. I want to do it outside and show the passersby.

They didn't have it at Tower Records...

>135 On-Dama.

They didn't have it at TSUTAYA...

Amazon shipping notice arrived ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

In my area, only Tower Records had it. The other stores didn't stock it.

Nana's lyrics changed after “Locks,” didn't they? It feels like they've gotten so much worse. I just can't believe Nana really wrote the lyrics after “Locks”...

It might be better to buy the CD at the live venue. They'll probably include a bonus.

Yulippe is cute on Stublog, so it's fine.

I want to marry Yuli-san.

>138 They didn't have it at TSUTAYA either.

I want to sleep next to Nana. When morning comes, I'll poke her cheeks. Then we'll sleep with our hands touching.

>145 She's super cute.

The coupling best-of is selling surprisingly well... I can't believe it made the top 10! As expected! I thought it would be around number 30 on the weekly chart.

Don't hide those thick lips, Yulippe!

>143 Agreed. Especially the decline in ParaUni is awful, I think. I used to look forward to Nana's lyrics too, but that one really killed it for me.

For a B-side best-of with no new songs, this really is a great showing.

There are probably around 15,000 hardcore creepy otaku fans. I can't think of any other reason this album is selling.

I think the company just bought its own copies.

It should obviously sell this well. Fans are always going on about the c/w songs, after all. Do you even understand how risky buying your own stock is!? Are you an idiot?

So Sony bought its own copies, got it.

Don't Nakamura Yuri and Silk (comedian) look alike?

>145 She's really cute. Why does she wear such heavy makeup?

The announcement that GARNET CROW is changing labels is here ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!! They're moving to Sony starting in April!!!!!

What is this, a new employee?

I think buying your own stock is basically like averaging down. If Gane did it, it'd only result in losses anyway.

In BEING GROUP, I think the only ones who buy their own stock are B'z and Mai Kuraki.

>160 Huh, really? Well, if it's Sony, they'll probably sell better than they do now.

Yeah, yeah, nice bait.

Oricon Daily 8th → 5th

Cunt.

>129 Same here. “Mawari Michi” is great—this is the essence of Gane.

Album Daily 8th → 5th GARNET usually hits its highest rank on the early-release day, so it's unusual for them to set a new high on the actual release date.

In the “Over Drive” PV, Yulippe is wearing a ring on her left ring finger. Was she married?

Cunt......

>170 She'd been wearing one from time to time for years, so maybe it's just personal taste?

Cunt!

Maybe it's selling well because the DVD is pretty lavish?

They're doing a live radio broadcast at Kyoto Station. I'll go check it out.

I'm happy the coupling best-of is selling well! Anyway, the Osaka live is coming up soon—have they announced the merch yet? >174 I think the DVD is lavish enough to sell on its own!

I can't believe they beat Do As Infinity (;ﾟロﾟ)

>170 She is married. Nana-san is too. They might even have kids.

Should I buy it?

>178 No way.

The issue is sales numbers.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going out for takoyaki.

>177 Gane has been outselling them ever since around ParaUni.

L'Arc-en-Ciel Tommy Do As Infinity GaneCrow I bought four CDs at once for the first time in ages.

I love them... I do, but... The PV is way too cheap, lol. It looks like a Showa-era karaoke video, lol. If they were with a different agency, they would've made a much more impressive, lavish PV... The songs are good and the members look good too, so what a waste, lol. Well, it's too late to say that now...

Congrats on fifth place!

They're gaining enough momentum to overtake Mai Kuraki.

>125 Strong agree. Gane really never gets stale, huh.

Yulippe is the best!

GARNET CROW

GARNET CROW

Walking through the city〜GARNET CROW♪

They didn't have it at TSUTAYA. I mean, what the hell is that cover art? I'd be embarrassed to put it on the counter.

What time does merch sales start for the Osaka live?

Good morning, pervy Yulippe (ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

>194 Check the official site.

It's March already. Nana-chan on the calendar is so cute, so cute (*^o^*)

Why is Nana-chan so cute?

She's not that cute.

The live is finally almost here〜 It'll be my first time seeing them in person since the Kobe University festival live about ten years ago, so I'm nervous lol.

As expected, “Float World” is in a league of its own.

I don't think it was rigged, but there really was someone who voted for “Holy ground.”

Yulippe's English is terrible, so why did she record an English version of “JUDY”?

>199 Go die.

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

Songs I'd like Yuli Nakamura to cover, series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17zfSq-uNhc This one's amazing!!!!!!!!

Like a Flower Waiting for Spring

“GOODBYE LONELY 〜Bside collection〜” Tuesday: 3,786 Wednesday: 2,565 So it's selling just a little better than Oruraba, I guess.

The original version of “Holy ground” is absolutely better. That cascading arrangement is the part that makes you cry, but they turned it into such a lame song. How are you going to make it up to me?

>209 Pretty crappy by Hayama's standards too.

Heinrich von Ofterdingen spends an hour at McDonald's,

Fifteen days until I see Yuli-san in person.

I couldn't be bothered to go out, so I downloaded it. The B-sides are all great songs too.

I want the merch. I want the perfume.

Eighth place today.

Back in the top 10 after a long time?

Maybe eighth on the weekly chart too.

“Ichiban Suteki Datta Hi” is a good song.

GARNET CROW is better with quiet, gentle songs like “Yuudachi no Niwa” than with energetic songs.

Glow sticks... At least change the shape... Stars again?

Lonely Light

And you can only use it during “Lonely Night,” too. What garbage.

“Even If I Line Up Over a Thousand Words”... It always struck me as pretty plain, but lately I've really started to like it.

The T-shirt is a nice color... though it doesn't suit me.

Is everyone going to buy this glow stick and wave it at the live? If everyone's buying one, I guess I'll have to buy one too.

>200 That was a long time ago. It was cold back then.

Finally got the album.

The Lonely Light is a different color from the one at the countdown live... I bought both the blue and pink ones, but orange and yellow... I'll probably buy them anyway.

Yuli-san is so beautiful it makes living hard.

Downloaded it, lol. The 4,000 yen I saved can buy me a delicious meal \(//∇//\)

Maybe I'll bring the one from the countdown live.

This week was at an incredibly low level, so that's great. “I'm waiting 4 you” and “Memories” were pretty high-level.

The Hayama version of “Holy ground” isn't bad, and I think it's good, but it doesn't feel like it's good enough to beat the other coupling songs.

The coupling best-of seems to be selling well. I went to a CD shop nearby and it was sold out (^_^;)

You can get it online right away (^ - ^)/

Can you download it on mora?

Female college-student model represented by an entertainment agency says the president of “Samantha Thavasa” demanded sexual acts; lawsuit filed ★2 http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mnewsplus/1330695870/l50

So the back of the first-press cover doesn't have the regular-edition cover image after all? Is there just one insert inside, the same as the regular edition, with that shitty anime? The bra strap on Nana-san's regular-edition cover is way too sexy. I'm so glad I bought the regular edition aaaaaaaaaa The first-press DVD will probably be released later as a PV collection anyway.

The live is finally tomorrow! I'm heading into Osaka today to hang out (#^.^#)

>238 Details on the shitty anime, please.

Lol, instant reply. No, is “manga” actually the better way to describe it? Just the usual Hirara one.

An illustration, I guess.

I'm curious what kind of illustration it is.

>241 I figured it out after Googling. Thanks.

Glad you figured it out. Anyone who bought the first-press edition, reply please. The regular edition is way too sexy lol...

It's just a camisole and a visible bra strap.

Sorry lol...

That illustration cover is way too much. I was embarrassed to put it on the counter, so I downloaded it online.

Good morning, Nana-chan.

>238 Don't you dare look at Nana-chan with lecherous eyes, or I'll never forgive you!

Planning to buy: MiniClo 2 and 3 Pamphlet Music Freak male singers

The dumber someone looks, the more likely they are to say things like “civility” and “boiling point,” huh.

I love “over blow,” “Shiawase na Pet,” “Cried a little,” and “CANDY POP” too, so I was shocked they weren't on Bside collection. I thought it would be fine since they were on All Lovers, but when I listened to them, the Bside collection's sound quality was better. So I was still shocked, lol.

Gross. There really are nothing but gross fans here.

Could someone tell me what's inside the pamphlet?

I still haven't bought the album. Maybe I'll buy it at the live venue—seems like they might give you a bonus.

Sorry, what is MiniClo?

It's the promotional unit of Yulippe and Okamocchi. They've released CDs with alternate arrangements of GARNET CROW songs.

I haven't bought it yet either, and I'm torn. If I buy it at the venue, will there be a bonus? If there's nothing, I'd rather get the one with the entry postcard.

Are MiniClo releasing a third album? Also, has the official site posted anything about the merch?

MiniClo 3 came out at this year's countdown live.

If it was sold at the countdown live, they could sell it through the FC newsletter mail order too... Venue-only releases are such a pain.

>258 Thanks. It's pretty interesting. I'm from out of town, so I can't go to the live. Is there any way to get it besides at the venue?

Arena, row 6, here it comes━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!!!

The ticket arrived, but I might be at the edge. I wonder what the old JCB Hall is like.

>263 It's often resold at auction, but the price has gone up to about three times face value. If only they sold it by mail order.

>266 http://www.meetsport.jp/about/h_b3f.htm Seating chart.

>265 What a coincidence, I got row 6 too, w.

“GOODBYE LONELY 〜Bside collection〜” Tuesday: 3,786 Wednesday: 2,565 Thursday: 1,134 The competition around it is weak, so making the top 10 looks easy.

Fourteen days until I see Yuli in person. Honestly, I want a setlist with more songs from the coupling best-of than from “Memories.”

Third row, here we go.

So jealousssss.

Gane Radio update, here it comes!

Everyone's getting such good seats this time... I thought that as I opened my ticket, and I got row 5 too. It's the closest I've ever been.

It's going to rain tomorrow. Traveling in for it looks like it'll be rough.

Please tell me what's in the pamphlet.

>275 Row 5, here we goｷﾀﾜｧ（n‘∀‘)ηﾟ･*: Me too.

Are the Druid monks, Edda, and the Hesperides considered foreigners or something? Before Christianity there were all kinds of religions, like Judaism and Celtic beliefs, so I guess it's only natural? From a European perspective, Christianity originally came from the “Middle East” (Jerusalem), yet now it puts on a European face and acts thoroughly European. ...Is “foreigner” from Christianity's point of view?

That came out of nowhere.

>267 Hmm... I wasn't planning to spend that much. If there's no mail order, I wish they'd at least tour a few more regions.

I was getting excited because there were so many reports of good seats, but I ended up with a balcony seat. I want to die.

Even in the balcony, numbers 1–10 and 111–120 are close, so it's fine.

>280 So it disappears as quickly as it appeared.

>263 I always have my GARNET friends in Osaka buy it for me.

I can't compete with the people reporting good seats, but I got row 11 this time, my closest yet.

It was ninth on today's daily chart, so making the weekly top 10 looks pretty much guaranteed.

1st: Mawari Michi 2nd: Nora That's what I heard.

Mochi: “By the way, Ms. Nakamura, have you ever had a long-distance relationship?” Yuri: “Hmm... no.” Yuri: “Because all of you are my lovers.” Mochi: “Hahaha.”

Rows 3, 5, and 6, I'm jealous. I got row 16. Did anyone win backstage passes?

Apparently my companion got third row in the arena section at the Tokyo show.

I got the third balcony, lol.

>267 The distance feels pretty close. It's about equivalent to somewhere before the cross aisle around row 20 in International Forum Hall A. The arena has no elevation changes, so shorter people might have a wall in front of them and have trouble seeing.

1st: Mawari Michi 2nd: Nora What about the others?

I want to have anal sex with Yulippe.

According to Angela Aki, this venue is a “mini Budokan” = Sendai Sun Plaza.

I wanna have anal sex with Yulippe〜

Did they go all out to secure front-row seats for this live because so many FC members have left?

The B-side best-of is amazing. It would definitely sell better if the coupling songs and title songs were switched around.

People who applied for one ticket got good seats; people who applied for two got slightly worse seats because they might resell one of them. For reference, when I applied for four tickets for Symphony, I ended up in the back of the first floor.

“JUDY” is such a masterpiece that living is painful.

The Japanese version of “JUDY” was a shitty song (probably Hirara's fault), but the English version turned it into a god-tier song.

If there are audience members whose words, shouting, or bad manners interfere with the live, warn them on the spot and throw them out. Especially the woman who loudly says incomprehensible things like “Okamocchi, marry me” at every live is seriously infuriating. There's a limit to bad manners. Warn that nonsensical idiot and throw her out of the venue.

Hirara, go die...

I was watching the Billboard Japan 2011 program I'd recorded from the evening, and Gane's name was among the nominees for Best Anime Song Artist. Is anything allowed as long as you're nominated?

I'm going tomorrow, but I'm coming from out of town, so I'm worried about the location. And it's supposed to rain. ...I hope there's somewhere with a roof to wait for merch.

Songs I'd like Yuli Nakamura to cover, series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XrOWeEAz7Q This one's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There should be a roof. Though if merch sales are slow and the line gets long, I don't know. If you're going to sell it, sell it properly.

I sent it halfway through writing, orz. If you're going to sell merch, they should improve the sales setup. And I'd like them to sell the glow sticks for use during the live by mail order in advance too.

First balcony, huh. Well, at least I can watch comfortably, so whatever.

It got pretty lively again today. Too bad there was no Nakamaru Clinic.

This is my first time in a balcony seat. Do you watch from your seat?

>274 Seriously?

1st: Mawari Michi 2nd: Nora 3rd: Yuudachi no Niwa 4th: Mikansei na Neiro 5th: Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi 6th: Jewel Fish 7th: in little time 8th: Float World

It was “Yofuke,” though.

Where did the coupling-song voting rankings come from?

>317 Gane Radio.

>318 Thanks.

I voted once each for “Hikari wo Kanata Made” and “Special Oneday,” so I'm happy they both made it. Still, the booklet is pretty bare-bones, lol. They could at least have included information on the first releases.

The fifth-anniversary best-of's booklet was incredibly lavish. The tenth-anniversary best-of, though...

Something feels off now.

Is “Yasashii Ame” not very popular? I personally really like the lyrics.

What's Gane Radio?

>302 I actually thought the English version was the shitty one. Her English is so bad that a whole song in English is a bit much... If it's just one English line in a song, I don't mind it.

GARNET CROW

I don't really like the “JUDY” PV... doesn't she jump off something in it? We don't need some weird story.

>323 Maybe people held back because it was already on All Lovers? The different version isn't that different anyway. What makes me mad is that “Ring Ring a ding” wasn't included! I'm pissed.

>314 Just seeing the song titles gets me excited.

Hinamatsuri \(//∇//\) Who wants to volunteer to be my hina doll?

I wonder if we can hear the coupling songs on the radio.

Am I the only one who thinks the songs left off this best-of will go to MiniClo?

All right, guess it's about time to leave.

Takoyaki Dome, day three. Kame and Yucchi, good luck with your Tokyo work.

Trash.

(This post is hidden.)

I can understand people holding back on songs said to be popular, like “over blow” and “CANDY POP,” but why didn't they hold back on “Nora,” “Jewel Fish,” and “Yuudachi no Niwa”? And they're ranked pretty high, too.

“Float World” too.

I'm leaving now too. I voted for “timing” to avoid the popular songs. It feels like it would have a different atmosphere if they played it now.

There'll probably be criticism, but I hope they release something like a complete collection of all the coupling songs again in about five years.

Maybe they won't even be around five years from now.

So, what time is everyone leaving? I'm leaving in an hour. How far away is the person coming from the farthest away?

Shut up, lol. What do you mean, “again”?

Can you only watch the “Yume Mita Atode” PV online?

This may be common knowledge, but the cherry blossoms in the “Yume Mita Atode” PV are actually plum blossoms.

Oh, I see.

Yuli-san from the “Yume Mita Atode” era was way too angelic...

Are you buying a Lonely Light?

Why wasn't the super-masterpiece “Matsuri no Jikan” included?

The YTV Manzai Newcomer Award is being held at Umeda Arts Theater right now. Yulippe must be happy.

>350 Because it's not popular, duh! It's not a very Gane-like album!

>351 It'd be funny if she came out to promote same-day tickets!

“GOODBYE LONELY 〜Bside collection〜” Tuesday: 3,786 Wednesday: 2,565 Thursday: 1,134 Friday: *,844 Ehime is too far from Osaka, so I've only attended the 2008 one. If it were Hiroshima, I could drive there and it would be easier to attend.

I wonder if she'll say “come on!” when she sings “Smiley Nation.”

I thought “Ai ni Niteru” would surely take a dignified first place, but it was “Mawari Michi.” Though I don't really like it.

I love “Float World.”

I haven't bought it because I dislike the cover so much. I mean, can using a PC really make the drawing this bad? It doesn't capture Yulippe's or Nana-san's features at all—they look like completely different people. At this level, my own hand-drawn version would still be better.

The drawing is way too anatomically wonky... This is why shoujo manga gets hated. Maybe the reason sales aren't growing is this cover? It's a coupling best-of, a coupling best-of fans have been waiting for. Rather than awkwardly using some third-rate manga artist, they should've gone with the usual safe cover. Don't make these tasteless, completely unnecessary changes.

I judge it by the cover, not the songs.

I preordered it from Amazon ages ago, but canceled at the last minute. That cover makes me sick.

I got pregnant by terrible luck when I was raped.

Kimi-zure, Yofuke.

Furui and Mochi really never age.

The setlist is nothing new.

No “fill away” again today?

Nope.

I see... Maybe there aren't many people asking to hear it. Is it unpopular?

>366 They played as blandly as if they were just going through a routine! Every song sounded the same, so it wasn't interesting, and they ended with “Eden” and “Spiral.” The drummer was still hamming it up as usual. Wasn't this the worst live they've ever done? It left absolutely no impression.

Huh, it's already over?

> It ended around 9:05!

Tokyo show, second row in the arena. Is the Tokyo venue flat? I'm short, so that's good, but if the person in front of me is huge, it might be rough.

>371 It ended around 9:05!

Could someone please post the setlist?

Misty Mystery Rhythm Memories Yofuke

>374 That early? Though I guess it's always like that.

The most disappointing live ever. Her voice wasn't in good shape either.

>377 No way, it isn't always like this! After seeing a live like this, I don't feel like traveling all the way to Niigata! Is anyone going?

On-Dama is too far; I can't go. Spending hours traveling there only for it to end after about 20 minutes... It'd be fine if I could go skiing while I was there.

More of the setlist: Genesis Naked Lonely Night wish Namida no Yesterday Kimi-zure Uminari nonsense Mawari Michi live Hallelujah Smiley Nation JUDY Eden Spiral I can't remember... “Seijaku,” “Eiyu,” and “Go For It” were there. The order of “Genesis” and “Memories” might be reversed.

Come to think of it, something really stuck with me from today's live! People were waving the Lonely Light like crazy even though it cost money!

What song is “Uminari” again? And they ended with “Spiral” again, lol.

“Uminari” is a Mochi song, but didn't they play it last time too?

Misty Mystery Rhythm Genesis Naked Memories Yofuke Go For It au Seijaku Namida no Yesterday Kimi-zure Uminari nonsense Lonely Night wish Mawari Michi live Hallelujah Smiley Nation Encore JUDY Eden Spiral Is this right?

Yulippe's outfits keep getting worse.

>383 It's a Super Light song! They worked so hard to promote it, so buy the DVD to support them!

Ah, it's Okamocchi. I wonder if there was a MiniClo segment. I hesitated over the glow stick, but maybe I should buy it...

>387 Sorry, sorry, lol.

There was no MiniClo. Maybe because they've been getting more events.

>388 Thank god there was no MiniClo!

>385 Thanks. I got a lot of it wrong...

Is the Kyoto radio thing just talking?

Yulippe was in really bad shape up through “Kimi-zure.” “Kimi-zure” had an arrangement by Daisuke Ikeda, with strings, Kurose, Ohashi, and Yulippe—a very unusual combination, and it sounded beautiful.

How's the merch?

I didn't realize it had been so long since Ikeda-san was involved. Lately songs like “Yume Mita” and “Seichi” keep getting left out.

Even if it's a coupling-song live, I wish they'd play songs they haven't played in the last few lives. Besides the “Memories” songs, were there any songs they played for the first time?

Around “Hallelujah” and “Koyoi Eden,” Yulippe looked really tired. She's not old enough for it to be aging yet, though... Was she feeling unwell?

Judging from the replies, it sounds like this one wasn't very good. Was it only Yulippe who was like that?

True, there was nothing new. But once you have over 150 songs, it's hard to cover them all unless you do a live without an album to promote.

>399 Personally, I think it was just Yulippe. Compared with the two shows in 2010, Nana-sama talked a lot more. Furui-san also gave more comments about songwriting than at any live I've attended. Mochi wasn't bad either. Personally, I was disappointed there was no “Over Drive” (←it sounds completely different on the CD and live, so I wanted to hear it), and I wrote “what a shame〜” on the survey, but I probably wouldn't have been 100% satisfied even if they'd played it.

Another same-old live.

It was the same old thing. I'm sick of “GO FOR IT,” “Eden,” “Hallelujah,” and “nonsense.” Yulippe's movements and outfits make her look like nothing but an old lady.

It's totally washed-up content. Play some rarer coupling songs.

I wish the members would read 2ch! Going to the live feels stupid!

What's everyone's ultimate setlist?

Is it really true they're moving to Sony?

GARNET CROW

Sorry for the back-to-back posts. Sure, the setlist hasn't changed much, but is that all there is to it? The December 2010 show was pretty fun too... When I went in March, it had only been nine months since the previous one. This time it had been over a year, so I went in with my excitement really high... What was bad about it? I don't really know myself. As I wrote above, it surely wasn't a live with nothing but bad points.

>409 Where is “above”? I don't think this live was that bad either.

>409 Maybe there wasn't enough MC. Also, quite a while had passed since “Memories” was released.

Bullet-point impressions: Yulippe's outfits are gradually becoming more idol-like..... ☆Yulippe sang with a glow stick attached to the microphone. But then she can't touch it while she's singing, right? w Yulippe doing snowboarding motions was cute. When Yulippe said she wanted to snowboard, Mochi stopped her for some reason, saying it was dangerous. Nana wanted to conquer every ski resort, w. Yulippe was expecting an answer like, “I may not look it, but I'm good at sports,” but Daisuke Ikeda flatly replied, “I don't do sports in summer or winter.” Yulippe responded with the rude, “Ah—so you're exactly what you look like,” w. Daisuke Ikeda wrapped the merch towel around his head like a turban. The girl on the far left from the audience's perspective in the live ladies' orchestra was incredibly cute. She was a cellist.

Was the girl who yelled “Marry me!” there? Someone in the front row of the third balcony was leaning out so far they looked like they were about to fall.

Nice work surviving three straight days at Takoyaki Dome, lol.

Impressions: Bad: Yulippe's condition at the beginning was terrible. Good: Ikeda-sensei. The members talked a lot. The opening “Hikari” production was cool. As for the setlist, I did want more B-side songs. Personally, I wanted them to play something like “For South,” w. But they played almost all the “Memories” songs, and considering the time constraints, what can you do...

Ikeda-sensei, lolllllllll.

It was a shame that “Memories” and “Seijaku no concerto” were shortened versions. If it was a time issue, they could've cut the repeated section of “Spiral” and Okamocchi's ear-ringing bit.

So, summing up the live report: Yulippe is my wife, right?

I'm glad “Futari no Rocket” and “Mizu no Nai” have been dropped. I would've liked to hear “Nora,” “Mikansei na Neiro,” and “Ao-kouka” too.

>398 She disappeared partway through the first repeat of “Spiral.” I assume she vomited backstage. Furui-san looked kind of restless too.

>421 Was that so? Didn't she go to the side runway?

>421 She was in front of the speaker on the left side of the stage.

Next time, do it at a city hall. Think of people like me who couldn't go; I'm worried about all the people complaining on 2ch too. You're only young once... Personally, I'm never buying a same-day ticket from a scalper again, religiously speaking. I don't have any money anyway. Yesterday at TSUTAYA I rented the remaining “Stay”? and “Waiting 4 YOU”? songs. What do you even want from Gane? If you want YUI, Superfly, or Ikimono-gakari, go listen to them... Sixty or seventy percent minor-key songs is fine. I thought it was a Yamaha Hawk. It's got a stylish coating on it, but... Wasn't it supposed to be all the “Memories” songs in CD order, plus an encore and so on?

She seemed out of it even when explaining On-Dama. I'm worried about Yulippe.

>406 If we're choosing from the C/W album: Nora, South, Float World, Wireau, Blue Regret, Voyage, and so on.

I had an insanely fun time at yesterday's live, though.

Her voice wasn't coming out at the beginning, and she was out of breath. Maybe Yulippe wasn't feeling well?

n

Ikeda-sensei's presence was just too strong, lolllllllll. He was even doing little dance steps during “Namida no Yesterday” or something, lol...

What were Yulippe's outfits like?

>431 Almost no skin was showing on her arms or legs. What a shame.

>432 Was there no skin showing after she changed outfits either? Was it a top with a deep neckline?

It looked kind of maid-like.

>434 How revealing was the neckline? Was it a top with a deep neckline?

>435 Almost no skin was showing. You could just glimpse her legs. Ikeda-sensei was the best. I want to see him again. They should replace the drummer.

>436 Did she change outfits?

>437 About three times, counting the T-shirt and hoodie during the encore. Just to be clear, there was no skin showing.

>438 When you say you could just glimpse her legs, do you mean you could see her thighs?

So I wasn't the only one who felt something was off with Yulippe at the beginning. I thought her voice sounded a little hoarse. I mean, what was the point of having B-side songs at all...? It wasn't even close to half and half. This time I really wish they'd do a B-side-only live.

The outfits were so awful I recoiled, lol. Nana-san's too. Also, Nana-san looked so sexy it surprised me.

Furui-san's outfit looked cool.

At yesterday's live, how did she sing the “an” part just before “looking at it” in the chorus of “Misty Mystery”? Was it sexy?

ID:zH/T1dFT0

By the way, I'm the person from >238, but even I recoiled at that〜〜

At first I thought the members all wearing different colors was a reference to Gorenger or something, but they never mentioned it, lol.

I wrote on the survey that I was glad they'd stopped ending with “Spiral,” and now it's back... I was going to lower my expectations and take part, but now I don't feel like going anymore.

Yulippe clapping along during the live was so cute. That princess outfit was the best too!

>447 It's nice once in a while, isn't it? Apparently some people had never experienced it, and they were happy, saying, “That was my first time hearing it repeated so many times.” So how many times did they do it in the end? Six? The shortest was about three times, right?

>449 I heard it was five times. I thought the same thing the first time I went to a live. It was like, “How long is this going to continue〜?”

I didn't think Yulippe looked unwell. I thought maybe her feet hurt from the heels, lol. She doesn't have to force herself to act energetic; I want her to just sing properly and let us listen. Maybe her in-ear monitors were malfunctioning—she went off-key now and then. Is she always like that?

She sings better than Hirara Natsume. ttp://t.co/Z82yJ0HS

>450 It was like, “You're still doing it!? lol” ww >451 She seemed off this time. There was a somewhat halfhearted atmosphere, and her voice was hoarse at times. It was also my first Osaka show, but the audience's energy felt uneven. I hope they can turn it around in Tokyo, since it's two days. And please buy some merch too, ww

I think that halfhearted vibe is just part of Yulippe's natural aura, but I agree that her voice was really off. Either way, the backing music drowned out the vocals and I could barely hear them... It was my first live, so honestly I can't deny I was disappointed.

Yulippe is already 34, so what can you do?

“Eiyu” and songs like that were more powerful than at the countdown live, and “Kimi-zure” was good too. Other than the drums being noisy as usual and the first song of the second act always being “nonsense,” I have no complaints.

If you think the drums are noisy, what kind would you prefer?

>452 She's cute.

Kurumatani-san is more popular, right? For upbeat songs, I don't think being loud is necessarily bad. But when they pound away like that on something like “Yume Mita Atode,” it gets irritating.

>http://toro.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1329952286/454 “The backing music drowned out the vocals and I could barely hear them...” I agree with this. I was in the very back of the first floor, and I couldn't hear the vocals either. I've been to many lives, and this was the worst one.

What's in the pamphlet?

The strings were barely audible in a few songs too. “Smiley Nation,” for example. They went to all that trouble to participate, too. But just watching the conductor uncle's movements was entertaining, so whatever.

At yesterday's live, how did she sing the “an” part just before “looking at it” in the chorus of “Misty Mystery”? Was it sexy?

If we're talking vocal ability, these days it's... Mayuyu >>> Yulippe.

It was more substantial than the last one. Each member got several pages, and they each talked about the most memorable event from their 12 years of activity.

The backing music was so loud you could barely hear Yulippe sing. I don't know whether it was the sound equipment or the person in charge. And the outfits were really bad too. There was a princess dress that looked like leftover stock from a rental costume shop, and another dress that looked like something a washed-up idol would wear... I was like, “Aaaaaaaaah.”

From the back, the towel around Furui-san's neck looked exactly like a farmer's work towel. He said something about it being cool during the MC, but I couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.

There should be a PA engineer at the venue, right? Can't they adjust the vocal volume? It's always like this that you can only hear the backing music when it's a song you're hearing for the first time... Was guitarist Taiga-san not there? Could Yulippe's condition be morning sickness? My ba...

I'm in the very back row of the first balcony at JCB Hall. Is this a good location for seeing the show?

Honestly, Yulippe isn't that great a singer, right?

It's not about whether she's technically good or bad—it's whether she moves your heart! (smug face)

The outfits were a shame: a princess dress and a dress like a white chick. They gave a slightly goofy impression. Her ordinary outfit after the encore would've been fine.

The chick outfit was cute.

She's way better than an average person, and she has a one-of-a-kind voice. If you think all that matters is singing well, go listen to some other artist.

Osaka was just the beta version. The real version is on the 17th.

Was there any bonus for buying the album at the venue? If you know, please tell me!

I got a clear file and a poster.

I couldn't see her face very well—was her makeup heavy?

I didn't think it looked particularly heavy. Her hair wasn't teased up that much either.

For the gathering on the 18th, is meeting in front of TDC (formerly JCB) okay?

>477 You can get a poster? Great. I'm glad I held off on buying it. Thanks!

Every time I go to a show, my penlight collection grows.

There was a cute girl at yesterday's live wearing a white beret, a white long coat, and a frilly skirt.

When all's said and done, I still love Yulippe's singing.

My Musing lottery result was third balcony...

I got the third balcony through Musing too. Could Lawson's tickets actually be better?

I might as well be petty and watch the show sitting down. Don't the people in front stand up.

Thus speaks someone in the back of the arena.

>370 The drummer is Kurose again, the one B'z fired?

Yulippe Maybe she's tired of singing in Osaka and Tokyo and is trying to say she wants to tour the regions.

Just looking at the stage set, you can tell they don't have much of a budget.

>474 What does comparing her to an ordinary person prove? Are you stupid?

Come to Sendai.

The B-side best-of is nice〜

Come to Fukuoka. Why is it always Tokyo and Osaka only? Gane fans aren't just in Tokyo and Osaka. If they don't tour the regions next year, it feels like the regional fanbase will keep shrinking.

Fukuoka's venue is practically like being on the tenth-floor balcony.

>480 Okay.

B-Side BEST TOUR Sapporo Sendai Nagoya Hiroshima Fukuoka

How much do you think KAT-TUN's stage set cost? It looked like they spent 500 million yen.

Does anyone know roughly what time the live on the 18th will end?

The show is about two and a half hours, so probably a little after 8:30 p.m.?

The first live at Namba Hatch ended after about an hour and a half.

>501 >502 Thanks!

>492 Don't worry. The idiot is the one who can only respond in short sentences—you.

In Osaka, it started at 6:30 p.m. and ended around 9:00. The 18th starts at 6:00, and it's the final day, so I think it'll end before 9.

Could someone make a karaoke video for “Ai ni Niteru”?

>490 Why would the members specifically want to go to the regions? That's just you country bumpkins' selfish desire.

Honestly, it feels like they don't really want to go to Niigata, lol. They both said they don't ski or snowboard.

>506 If you don't care about copyright complaints, you can upload it to YouTube and I'll do it. NicoNico is too much trouble because of the encoding, so no.

Takoyaki's first day started at 6:30 and ended exactly at 10:00.

The lyrics to “His Voyage” are incredible.

The stage set was shockingly cheap. Do they really have so little money? It was about the same as the STAY tour. That was a live-house tour, so it wasn't a problem then, but this time... By the way, I don't think there were any cameras (at least I didn't see any on the first floor), so I doubt the Osaka show will become a DVD.

>510 Don't you have any friends?

The result emails for the concert and the baseball tournament should arrive tomorrow.

>504 What exactly are you telling me not to worry about? Are you stupid?

Machiko Ono looks like Nana-san.

>512 It's a little disappointing, but rather than making a DVD while Yulippe was in that condition, it'd be better to film the Tokyo show. I hope Yulippe doesn't have to cancel the Tokyo show because she's unwell.

It's a shame Okamocchi had wanted to go to Korea.

>516 Aimi Nakatani looks more like her.

What a loud idiot. Shut up already.

If they have time to play “Uminari” and stuff, they should play “Seijaku” in full.

Sorry, I meant >515. Everyone's happily discussing the live, so I don't get why you have to keep dissing Yulippe's voice.

I was surprised that “Memories,” the album's title track, was a shortened version. I really liked it, too.

>523 Exactly. Going by the tour title, it was obviously the main song.

Sorry for the dumb question. Where were they selling the CDs and DVDs at the Osaka live? I only found the merch sales area.

Two stalls over from the merch. Next to the fan-club membership booth.

Straight ahead after climbing the stairs from the entrance.

>527 I was just about to write that, lol.

If they switch songs between Osaka and Tokyo, which ones will they be?

Well, honestly, I think some people like her CD voice but aren't fond of her live voice. I love the voices at the 2008 and 2009 shows and the recent lives, though—they were amazing. Early in their live career she had no volume at all, and her pitch wasn't stable, so I couldn't really get into it. She must've done a ton of vocal training over the last few years. “Sora ni Hanabi” at Symphony was incredible.

The Ninna-ji show was the best.

>491 Considering the sales and GIZA's condition, it can't be helped.

GIZA has B'z and Kuraki, so is it really in that much trouble?

I want to smell Yuli-san's panties.

>533 Kuraki is with Northern. B'z is with Vermillion. So neither of them is GIZA. Aya Kamiki is gone too, so it's seriously in trouble.

Rina Aiuchi leaving really hurt. There was nobody besides Aiuchi who could work as a talent and actually get results. Offers have dropped sharply, and the agency's credibility is declining too.

The Takeshita band is still around, and the bread factory, Giza Creative, and real estate are all doing well.

Maybe “GOODBYE LONELY” means something like, “So you finally got put on an album.”

>530 > “Sora ni Hanabi” at Symphony was incredible. Exactly. It's a shame there weren't any big, belted songs like that this time.

So a label move really is possible. GARNET CROW is basically GIZA's last bastion...

>530 People with little or no live experience only know the CD vocals, so I guess some of them find the live voice jarring.

They might as well switch to an AV label.

I wish they'd make the pamphlet more substantial.

>533 Ikimono-gakari took the Conan movie theme song too... It seems like the situation isn't great for Being as a whole, not just GIZA.

It's not like Conan's theme songs are guaranteed to be handled by Being.

Ikimono-gakari must be moving to Being.

I don't like Ikimono-gakari because so many of their songs sound like obvious hits. It's like they cherry-picked the best parts of the '90s. They're good at it, in a way.

>518 Give us the details. Ugh〜〜〜

>521 I know what you mean—it's really disappointing when songs you like are shortened. During the BEST tour, “Yuudachi,” “Sen-ijou,” and “Jewel Fish,” all songs I like, were shortened one after another, which was a letdown. I mean, if you're going to do two shortened songs, just do one song in full. They say they value the lyrics, so why are they okay with cutting them?

>549 It's annoying that the standard songs don't get shortened, while the rare songs do.

Mai Kuraki has appeared on “Waratte Iitomo!”, so I wish GARNET CROW would appear too. Though the members seem like they don't have many friends, so it's possible they wouldn't receive a single flower bouquet, lol.

>550 You've got it backwards. Because they know the standard songs by heart, they can sing them in full without it being a burden.

I wish they would use “live” instead of “Spiral” at the end. With “live,” it feels like they could loop it forever.

I wish they'd add one wind-instrument player just for “Memories.” It's a luxury request, but it really does seem like they had no budget...

When's the next single coming out?

Short versions are fine if the transitions are good. I liked the old transition from “Blue no Mori de” into “Koisuru Koto Shika〜.”

>551 Tamori: “A bouquet has arrived from Mr. Kurose.” Audience: “Oh〜”

>557 Tamori: “A bouquet has arrived from B'z.” Audience: “Ooh〜” Tamori: “A bouquet has arrived from Mr. Kurose.” Audience member A: “Who is Kurose?” Audience member B: “Wasn't he the drummer B'z fired?” Tamori: “I don't really know either, lol.”

You guys should be happy. Apparently Kurose-san is doing the Tokyo show too. Tokyo / TOKYO DOME CITY HALL (formerly JCB Hall) GARNET CROW livescope 2012 〜the tales of memories〜 Does he only have work with GARNET? lol

Neither the diary nor the staff blog has been updated〜

Tamori: “Today's guest is GARANET CROW.” Silence... The studio falls quiet for a long moment. Audience A: “...W-who?” Audience B: “Is that some kind of game?” Audience A: “That's Garnet Cradle.” Tamori: “I don't really know either, lol.”

“GOODBYE LONELY 〜Bside collection〜” 7th place: 10,857 copies

Ai ni Niteru〜

Did it sell better than All Lovers?

>559 Is “the tales of〜” a pun on the “Tales of” series?

Where can I see the diary and staff blog?

Stop messing around with “Waratte Iitomo”! lol. Mai Kuraki-chan might send a bouquet.

The official homepage.

>562 No promotion at all. No new songs. The first-press edition has that god-awful cover. And it still sold pretty well. I gave up buying it because of that cover, though... >564 It sold about 2,000 more copies than All Lovers.

>512 What was the stage set like? Even in hall-sized venues they put up a screen showing the lyrics in real time, and they usually have lots of support musicians, so I've always thought they spend generously. I can't picture a GARNET live with a cheap-looking set at all.

The lighting production was beautiful. But more than that, the girl in the white coat and white beret was beautiful.

Are the lottery results still not out? I was wondering why that DVD from Amazon hadn't arrived, but it was cheap Yu-Mail shipping, lol. If it had been Sagawa, it would've arrived already, lol.

>571 Where was that girl? First floor? There was a handsome guy in a white down jacket on the second floor.

>571 She's Nana's girlfriend.

I was watching Garnet Time 07 and near the end there was a scene where Yulippe and Aika Ohno were chatting happily. I guess they get along because they're both 34.

White coat, white beret... that might have been me.

I'm listening to the “Memories” album. The harmony on “Eiyu” by Okamocchi is incredible. Proof that they've grown. Can we not hear this live...? On “Issho ni Kurasou,” everyone raises their hands and sways from side to side—it's so energetic. Can't we hear this one either? I think it's a good album. Some of the songs are pretty adventurous, though.

>570 The background had a garnet pattern, lol (arabesque?), with Versailles-style curtains. There was a space in the middle raised by about five steps. I would've preferred a normal flat stage with them wearing normal plain dresses, like in the “Are You Ready” DVD. Though I do love Yulippe's singing.

All Lovers: 16th (8,685) parallel universe: 10th (15,773) Memories: 11th (13,798) GOODBYE LONELY 〜Bside collection〜: 7th (10,857) Incredibly consistent.

The girl in white was on the third floor.

With so many of the older ladies striking out, I somehow won one show at Shochikuza.

>579 Those numbers are impossible given GARNET CROW's name recognition among the general public. It must be self-purchasing. Does this band even have one hit song that everyone knows?

The Johnny's Jr. baseball tournament results are in too———

Four out of the five weekends in March involve traveling out of town. I'm going to go bankrupt, lol.

Please, I really wish Yuli wouldn't sing in English. If she were at the level of Shiina Ringo or Love Psychedelico, fine, but the English version of “JUDY” is too awful to laugh at. And the song choices for this live were terrible. It felt completely unmotivated.

>585 You can tell how motivated they are from the song choices?? In what way? I'm honestly asking. I could understand if you meant their singing style or something.

Anyone who's been backstage before: What should I keep in mind when going backstage? Autographs aren't allowed, right?

>586 Other than the “Memories” songs, they only played songs they've performed before. I was expecting more from the B-sides.

I hope you go bankrupt.

Yuli-san is too beautiful...

>577 They played “Eiyu” in Osaka.

>587 No. It'll only be a short time, but you'll get to talk one-on-one, so think of something to say beforehand.

I prefer the way “Mawari Michi” is sung live to the CD version. The CD felt kind of flat and I didn't like it much, but the countdown live and the recent livescope changed my impression.

>588 I wanted at least one song they'd never performed before. And the encore being “Eden,” “Rocket,” and “Spiral” again was like, enough already.

“Mawari Michi” is overrated. I wanted them to play “hi-speed スペシャル oneday” or “Nagai Ame no Natsu no Owari.”

Oh right, I just remembered. “nonsense” has been in the live set a lot lately, and she sings “一寸浮かれ” as “issun ukare,” right? At least read the ruby text correctly.

>596 Don't forget “Yasashii Ame.”

They can leave “Spiral” out for a while.

Apparently GARNET CROW will be a guest on the two-hour SMAP×SMAP special.

Songs I'd like Yuli Nakamura to cover, series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhkF-8W9-vw This one's amazing!!!!!!!!!!

They should appear on TV more. There are two beautiful women in the group, so their fanbase would surely grow.

>582 You can't say self-purchasing definitely didn't happen this time. It's pretty strange for this album to sell so well. If it's 10,000 copies and over 30 million yen in sales, I wonder how many were self-purchased.

>602 Honestly, it's too late now. The general public wants people in their teens or early twenties.

At the impromptu questionnaire during the countdown live, the people prioritizing “Memories” beat the coupling-song people by a huge margin. I think that actually pushed things even further toward prioritizing “Memories.” Yulippe is probably the type to go along with that.

“They're appearing on SMAP×SMAP,” my ass. Stop telling such boring lies. It's not funny.

It's about time they released the next single.

I've been thinking—could a label-change rumor actually be true? They release a coupling best-of at this late stage (and the title seems meaningful), and there hasn't been any news of production work since the year began. Maybe there's a new start coming in April? Or maybe they'll break up. I have a feeling they'll announce something on the final day, the 18th.

>582 “Yume Mita Atode.”

It's their first coupling best-of, so isn't this about what you'd expect?

Will the next Detective Conan theme song be from a company other than Being?

Honestly, things have felt kind of mysterious since the best-of. They've even put out compilation albums and stuff.

>612 The number of singles has definitely gone down.

The quality of both the songs and lyrics has dropped. It's really sad.

There are front-row seats on Yahoo Auctions. The price is skyrocketing—I want one.

>609 “Natsu no Maboroshi” feels more famous. >599 They didn't play it at the countdown, and lately it's only about once every two shows, so cut it some slack.

I want them to self-cover ZARD's “Tomatteita Tokei〜.”

The melodies aren't very memorable and have a bit of plagiarism, the lyrics are amateurish like grram's, the band arrangement completely kills whatever was good about the arrangement, and the guitar is just noisy. There's no way something like this can sell. But Nana-chan is very beautiful.

The opening drums are incredible, and Okamocchi's electric guitar explodes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq24JNs-ego&feature=related

>617 I saw Yulippe singing backup by herself at a ZARD memorial live, and it was good. I want them to self-cover “Graduation” too.

>588 That's what “standard songs” means. Since this is a tour accompanying the release of “Memories,” the songs outside “Memories” were inevitably going to include more standards. >613 If anything, they were releasing singles way too frequently before. J-pop in general puts out too many singles.

Maybe. Though it feels like the lyrics and arrangements recovered somewhat on “Memories.”

JUDY, leaning in close〜♪

“STAY” had me going “Ohhh!!,” then “ParaUni” let me down, and “Memories” left me feeling, “Hmm.”

>624 Same here. For “STAY,” “Koi no Aima ni” is the one I like. The other songs weren't bad either. The only one I really liked on ParaUni was probably “Mayoi no Mori.”

I only became a fan recently. Personally, I don't feel that much fluctuation from album to album. Every album has songs I really love, and finding those is enough for me.

>620 I'll self-cover it〜(o^-ﾟ)db(^-^o)

“Locks” gets slammed around here, but personally I like it about as much as the first album, so the disappointment I felt with ParaUni was brutal.

You people are always disappointed about something.

After getting used to “Memories,” my ranking is roughly: 4 > 7 > 9 > 1 > 2 > 5 > 3 > 6 > 8. I like “Memories” quite a lot. I think a lot of people unconsciously lower their opinion of an album song once it's included on another album, but even so, my preferences haven't shifted much from the early days to now.

Personally, my least favorite album is “STAY.”

Personally, the third and seventh albums are tied for best. The fourth and fifth are a little hard for me to get into.

For my top three, it's 9, 7, and 4.

My top three are 1, 2, and 3.

>593 Thanks. Huh?! What should I talk about... What should I wear...

“Love is a Bird” is a god-tier song.

>635 You won? Congratulations.

>630 For a second I thought that was a Dragon Quest ranking.

Jealous.

I personally really like 4, 5, and 7. 6, 8, and 9 are a no.

GARNET CROW, whose melodies and lyrics lead everyone into despair, is wonderful.

Should I go to On-Dama? I kind of want to.

I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics to “Ichiban Suteki Datta Hi.” I like the song, though.

I heard in this thread that it might be about an affair or a physical relationship or something.

Nana's lyrics are pretty erotic. Feels like some of it might come from real experience.

The DVD arrived from Amazon. Watching it now, lol. God-tier.

Daily singles chart 1st　251,868　Arashi This arrived too, but I'm watching the DVD, so I don't have time to listen.

Trash.

GARNET CROW is great. I wish I'd discovered them sooner. The more I listen, the more hooked I get. Why don't people in general like GARNET CROW? I don't get AKB, Paint-zile, Korean pop, or any of that stuff.

>649 Because they're all idiots who don't understand music.

They only listen to pointless commercial music, so their ears aren't cultivated either. In a way, I feel sorry for them.

Basically, they just don't promote them enough.

I bought a best-of because Nakamura Yuri is exceptionally cute and I wanted to try GARNET CROW. After listening through it, “in little time” really grabbed me the most.

Yulippe's voice is really distinctive. It doesn't appeal to the general public, but people who get hooked go all the way, I think.

As someone who's often told I look like Yulippe, I don't think Yulippe is really the cute type. She's more the beautiful type, if anything.

Anyway, I wish Yulippe would stop wearing such heavy makeup.

It's funny how much they've been deified. What, is GARNET CROW not commercial music?

In the DVD, “Yuki 100%,” the cast, Yuma-kun, and the leg shots were cut, which is a shame, lol. Everyone's record companies are different, after all.

Yulippe's music and Nana's lyrics feel like a fated meeting. It seems impossible that they were made by anyone other than one person.

A voice that appeals to the general public only gets as far as appealing to the general public. There isn't another voice like Yulippe's.

>650 wwwwwww

Is the cute girl who wore a white coat to this concert here?

I don't think there are actually that many fans who browse 2ch.

You can really tell from the stage set that they were tight on the budget this time. I wonder how much it costs to bring in a string section.

>662 Probably me, lol. A white beret and a white coat. Not that it matters.

How bad was the set?

Not so much bad as simple? Judging from the newsletter, it doesn't seem all that different from the countdown concert.

>667 Simple would still be fine, but it was way too tacky.

>665 She was cute. Since she was talking to the staff, I was worried she might be a girl who was freaking out because she didn't have a ticket.

>665 Can I cum on your face?

You guys are biting way too hard, lol. But if she was a beauty, I would've liked to see her too, lol. >667 The outfits might've been pretty tacky too, lol. When the curtain came down and I saw Mochi, he looked like early B'z's Matsumoto, lol.

Was she really that cute? Which celebrity did she look like?

>672 Kaori Kanzaki.

You guys... do you really want to smell Yulippe that badly?! http://page19.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x219694871

>673 Oh, seriously?

Yulippe doesn't need fake eyelashes or heavy makeup!

>674 Okamocchi's sweat is gonna fly over here, ZE.

>655 Go out with me.

There are always people like >650. Cool, man.

At the March 4 concert, in the chorus of “Misty Mystery,” before the “見てるだけの前で” part, did they sing that “あん” bit?

>674 Seriously?! It sells for that much?! If I'd known, I would've sold mine during ParaUni too!!

If the Tokyo show ends up having a fancy set with monitors and all that, this old man is gonna be disappointed.

Nana-chan is really beautiful. Yulippe needs to get plastic surgery and become beautiful too.

Are there any celebrities who are close with the members?

Finally got to hear “Goodbye Lonely.” I own all the songs already, but the sound quality on the early ones has improved a lot, so they're much easier to listen to now. GJ, Furui-san.

Ohhh. So they upgraded the sound quality?

>684 Yuki Okazaki, Sai Saida, Akihito Tokunaga.

>684 They're close, I don't know, but it's famous that AKB48's Sumire Sato is a huge GARNET CROW fan. On a show where they visited an idol's home, her GARNET CROW CDs, DVDs, and merch were lined up everywhere.

A huge fan of the Japanese band GARNET CROW (GC hereafter). She was such a fan that she even listed songs she'd sung at karaoke on her own blog. In “Shukan Asahi” (Asahi Shimbun Publications), she said she'd also like her future spouse to be a GC fan [11]. When her parents' house was shown on “AKBINGO!,” every album released by GC was on display. Albums by Southern All Stars were lined up next to them too [12]. From the Wikipedia entry “Sumire Sato.”

I think Yulippe and Tokunaga are close, if I remember right.

But she's not cute. http://i.imgur.com/Bk81A.jpg

Apparently she likes Conan.

She was chosen as the image character for Watering Kissmint Gum.

Sumire Sato of AKB48 might not be very well-known right now, but since her agency is Horipro, they'll definitely push her as a solo act in the future, like Tomomi Itano, so keep an eye on her. Even while she's in AKB48, now Japan's idol group with momentum strong enough to knock birds out of the sky, she goes around promoting GARNET CROW's music on her own, which I have to respect.

7 I thought, “Don't fall asleep while they're performing.” Turns out she was just lost in the music.

>694 Sumire Sato, huh... Honestly, I don't think she gets any stage time unless it's something like the janken tournament selection.

The leg shots are way too popular. I cracked up at how many extra shows they added, lol.

At my first concert, I was in the very back of the second floor... But it was fun, so whatever. I managed to buy Mini-Cro 2 and 3 too, so whatever... Could the person in the white coat be the one who sat in the seat in front of me on the train? I caught a glimpse of her at the venue too.

GARNET is coming to Hokkaido too? I might go see cute Yulippe.

Haven't you guys dragged out this white-beret-and-coat girl's story long enough?

Pervert Yulippe is gross.

“Mawarimichi” is insane. Tears are flowing like crazy.

Sergeant Duck, lol.

My Tokyo Dome Hall ticket through the FC allotment arrived, but it's so far in the back I could cry.

Besides Sumire Sato, NMB48 captain Aya Yamamoto is also a GARNET CROW fan. Sumire Sato's been getting pushed by management lately, huh?

Aya-ne is cute, right?

Aya's a fan too? GARNET is amazing.

“Oh My God”—because, because you were there~♪

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J5OPoPj9Kg

Sayanee's pretty great.

>685 If it's a remaster, I don't think that was Furui-san's work.

Furui, in my dreams~♪

Looks like it's pretty hard to get through on the result-call line, lol.

Of all GARNET CROW's songs, “Trans Trap” is the coolest, “Float World” is the most polished, “Stay” is the most decadent, and “live” is the most cutesy. I will not accept dissent.

“Happy Pet” gives it a run for its money when it comes to acting cutesy.

Speaking of which, there was a room fragrance in the merch lineup. Did anyone buy it? What was it like?

This is a little late, but “over blow” isn't on it, huh?

Takako Uehara (29) married. Yulippe the old lady (34) unmarried.

“Tinnitus,” by Hitoshi Okamoto.

Aya Kamiki was on “Downtown DX” recently, but if Yulippe or Nana-san appeared, would we get reports from people who spotted them?

>721 The kind of smell you often get at a cosmetics counter.

Did they check membership cards at the concert? Was having a ticket enough?

They don't check membership cards at regular concerts.

That's right. Thanks.

What do you think of the songs on this Mini-Cro release?

He's Kankuro now, but back in the day he was Nakamura Kankuro.

The Osaka concert was basically like a dress rehearsal.

She looks like Aimi Nakatani.

I like GARNET's songs because they're romantic. They're like a mystery by William Irish.

Romantic, mysterious, and dark too.

I think they're just plain and gloomy. The only people who say something like GARNET CROW is good are the mentally ill or junkies.

I love GARNET CROW.

Is there some reason they appear on local radio and TV in places like Hokkaido and Aomori? They'd get more publicity by appearing on nationwide programs.

>755 AZUKI-san says she wants to go on them while traveling, apparently. She says she's already gotten tired of Tokyo and places like that.

Do you think the next single is coming soon?

I spend an hour at McDonald's with “Heinrich von Ofterdingen.” I'm listening to CDs in the car because I have to return them to Tsutaya tomorrow. The opening of “on the way” sounds like “Saturday in the Park,” maybe? Then the next bit sounds like Nick Kershaw's “The Riddle.” There's a phrase that sounds like a song from “Memories” (I forgot which one)... Seems like someone in the band likes Pink Floyd... They never miss. They're a typical, inconspicuous singer-songwriter band, which is rare these days. When she's singing “STAY,” I just want to stare at her face the whole time...

But whenever I praise something, nothing good ever comes of it, so I'm worried. Is it me~? Is it you guys~? Are we breaking up? Marriage would be fine too; they're not idols, after all. I don't even know what kind of person I am lately, so this is perfect as a litmus test. I've had enough of Minako already. ...I'm just uneasy, the same way the TV said one of the tiers of Toshogu's five-story pagoda was deliberately made in the Chinese style...

“Hyaku-nen no Kodoku” feels like “Atom Heart Mother” and the ending of “Honesty.” I like Western music, so this band is interesting... Anyway, I'm off to soak in a super sento...

>760 I thought “Honesty” too. Glad I'm not the only one.

Is it true there's going to be a major announcement in Tokyo?

Announcement of a fan-selected request concert at Budokan.

“Fall in Life~” was the only song in the flow of the album that felt like it was running. I felt tired of this song; I've still got a long way to go... This CD is basically a support album for exhausted salarymen... I skip “Memories” too—maybe “Misty Mystery”?—because it feels out of place in the flow. It's different from the old days. You'll understand when you get older.

>778 Yeah. It starts suddenly, so you'd better have it ready to pull out right away.

I want to marry Nana-chan.

I miss the Hacchan T-shirt.

Johnny's is holding a fundraiser at Tokyo Dome, but this shitty agency isn't doing any fundraising at all. Instead, they're making a killing by filling their rental apartments with disaster victims, then diverting that money to keep some shitty group alive. What scumbags.

>778 The Lonely one.

I'm gonna work hard all week so I can see Yuri live on Saturday.

>769 Really?

I wish they'd release a single soon. About three a year would be ideal.

>779 Thanks, I'll get it out. I'm looking forward to seeing the venue filled with two colors! >783 I honestly got it wrong, orz. I was probably mixing it up with the one around the holy site.

Someone who went to Osaka said less than half the people there had one, so I was planning not to buy one... But does Yulippe want people to use them?

>780 She's already married. >788 To put it bluntly, it makes money.

The weather in Tokyo is gonna be bad this weekend...

There won't be Ikeda-sensei and the strings in Tokyo, right? Won't they change the setlist?

Of course there'll be strings. They're recording it, after all. Several album songs have strings in them too.

I went to Osaka, and about three-quarters of the people had their Lonely Lights on. Yellow or orange, of course. At the countdown show, the sales window was so short that I think only about a quarter of the people had theirs lit.

>792 Come to think of it, the only thing they said was Osaka-exclusive was Ikeda's arrangement of “Kimi Tsure.” Sorry, wwwww.

I wanna fuck Yulippe.

I thought it was amazing that everyone bought a Lonely Light just to use it for one song. Honestly, if Ikeda-sensei hadn't been at this concert, I think it would've been such a total mess that it couldn't have kept going. I wonder if he's not coming to Tokyo?

>797 It's only 1,500 yen.

ｽﾞﾆｱ、ｶﾊﾞ●ｴ

I'm listening to “I'm waiting 4 You” because I have to return it to Tsutaya soon. “Wasurezaki”'s OP/ED sounds like some song from “Memories,” and the next one, “Kimi wo Kazaru~,” sounds like “A Whiter Shade of Pale” mixed with Morita Doji... Long live minor chords＼(^-^)／ It sounds like Sakiko Kubota and Hako Yamasaki given a stylish, urban makeover... GANE is the best. Even songs that seem noisy turn minor and mid-tempo the instant the vocals come in, so they're easy to listen to in peace.

I want to put my dick in Nana-sama's pussy.

There's a baseball tournament at the Big Egg next Sunday, the 18th. I wonder if they'll sell merch?

Nope.

Songs I'd like Yuri Nakamura to cover, part whatever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NWFgOQuyl0 This one's incredible!!!!!!!!!!

>798 I spend 600 yen a day on food.

Are the ticket results out tomorrow? I'm going in with some young guys, so I really hope I win the date I want.

“Blurry” is a god-tier song.

“君連れ去るとき” is a great song. I want them to sing “春末” too.

I'm listening to “Memories” again, and the sixth song is deliberate as hell: it goes from EPO-style to Shibuya-kei, then the instant the vocals come in it switches to minor chords (I couldn't help laughing). They literally call it minor chords... The instrumental break in the second half of track 10 sounds like Pink Floyd, right? The ending sounds like Anzen Chitai.

It's March 11 and neither Stablog nor the official site has said a thing... The members are in Osaka, so I guess it doesn't concern them... Mai Kuraki and Hisakawa-san from grram have sent messages to their fans, though...

Are GARNET people from Osaka?

Maybe it would just be empty words, but it would still be nice if they sent some kind of message to both the fans and the disaster victims.

Cold-blooded.

Because it'd ruin the image. Yulippe's a cold person, you know.

Since a B-side best-of has come out, here's my personal coupling-song ranking: 1. Mijikai Natsu 2. JEWEL FISH 3. Kanata Made Hikari wo 4. Mikansei na Neiro 5. Ai ni Niteru

Still way better than a hypocrite.

Nana-chan poking the camera with a tree branch in “Hare Dokei” is so cute, lol.

Does everyone fill out the questionnaires they hand out at concerts?

Staring at the last red leaf on Henry ivy, the love for Yuri of a young man who worked hard every day but finally ran out of strength. Rest in peace. From now on, I'll work hard in your place. I'll work hard for Yuri again today.

Every time I think, “I'll write something this time,” but once the concert ends I somehow just go straight home. Apparently they really do read them, though. So I ended up emailing them through the official site.

Some really fake-sounding diary entry just arrived, lol.

>818 That really is cute. Azuki-san's little mannerisms are so cute. Unlike Yulippe's, lol.

Princess Yulippe.

>822 The promotional diary is here, huh? Calling her Princess Yulippe at her age is a bit much, lol.

Don't disrespect Princess Tenko like that.

>818 Was that from a turd's point of view?

So this means I should buy a light stick?

Maybe someone wrote on the survey that the concert outfit looked princess-like.

I'm going on Saturday!

>819 Apparently the staff or members sometimes read them afterward, so you should write something.

>819 I write a ton every time. Don't forget to bring a ballpoint pen! Write down everything you can before the show starts, like merch requests and song requests, and it'll go smoothly. It'd be nice if our voices reached them, too. On the other hand, lately it feels like the one whose voice isn't getting through at all is the drummer... Seriously, adjust it. I hope the sound is good this time.

Pussy.

We're completely unrelated, but Masayoshi Yamazaki said at a concert that he reads the surveys and wants people to fill them out. Lots of people actually read them, so if there's something you want to say, you should write it.

I'll do 100 push-ups for Sales Manager Yulippe.

I fill out the survey every time. I end up writing whatever comes to mind right after the show without thinking ahead, and sometimes regret it later. But most of what I wrote at the countdown show was reflected in this tour, so it made me a little happy to feel like they really did read even stuff like that.

>836 Every single time, this is so annoying.

Considering that “Spiral” was the closer this time, does that mean there were a lot of opinions like that? Personally, I would've preferred “Eden” or “live”...

Amazon preorders are open.

I'm honestly sick of hearing “Eden,” “Spiral,” and “Hallelujah.”

Have they really played “Hallelujah” that many times?

“Hallelujah” has been part of the set since the 2009 STAY tour, so it's not like they play it too often. Anyway, Yulippe keeps getting more and more idol-like. Where is she headed? Yulippe dressed all in black during the STAY tour was seriously cool. Compared to that, her outfit the other day was... I have no words. Isn't there anyone on staff who can point this out? She's getting more gyaru-like with every passing year. I want her to go back to the style she had when she wore pants and a skirt together and had a ponytail.

“Aozora Kanata” is insanely good.

Just when I thought she'd completely turned into a “sweets” type with all that talk in recent years about marriage hunting and power spots, lol, now she's a princess too? Seriously, where is she headed? Personally, I couldn't understand what she was singing in Osaka (though I could hear the MC just fine), so I hope I can hear her a little better in Tokyo... If not, I guess subtitles it is t(ry.

I finally sent in my concert impressions, even if it's a little late.

GIZA, huh. Angel: AZUKI Nana Beauties: Aiko Kitahara, Yuka Saegusa Average: Hisakawa, Caos's Shiraishi Gorilla faces: Yulippe, Aika Ohno, Rina Aiuchi It's a negative for GIZA that two gorilla faces are still left.

>846 Yulippe is too easily swayed by the negativity around her.

The golden age really ended with the fourth album, huh... I want Yulippe to become a Europe otaku and write songs with a medieval European atmosphere. What she's doing now is just pop music.

Is Yuri-san the only one who holds a Lonely Light? Will Nana-san hold one too? If anyone knows who held which color in Osaka, tell me.

I want someone to hold the Lonely Light in my crotch. It's pink, by the way.

The coupling-song best-of sold surprisingly well.

A friend who only buys albums apparently had a lot of first-time listens and was over the moon. I own all the singles, so it doesn't mean as much to me, but there were songs I hadn't listened to lately, and hearing them again made me think, “This song is pretty good!”

We're all on a journey that will one day scatter.

> Wearing pants and a skirt together Don't.

Yu Yamada (27) married. Do you think unmarried Yulippe is waiting for a cool guy like Shun Oguri to appear?

>850 Nostalgia nerd, good job.

Yulippe, give those gross otaku guys a little hope, www.

After giving us dreams.

How about including some of Yulippe's pubic hair as a first-press CD bonus?

I'm working hard for Yuri-san again today.

>862 All the members' would be better.

Then we can play “guess whose is whose.”

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

“GOODBYE LONELY ~B-side collection~” Week 1: *7th place　10,857 copies　10,857 total Week 2: 61st place　*2,054 copies　12,911 total

I want to smell Yuri-san's panties.

I'd rather have the panties than the pubic hair. You can wear them on your head, after all.

The SZ ticket results are starting to come out.

I want to secure the second show at Osaka-Jo Hall.

Only four days until I see Yulippe in person, o.

This'll be my first concert. Should I memorize things like the fan motions and the parts where Yulippe swings the mic toward the audience?

If you have the concert DVD, it might be good to watch it again beforehand.

The jumps in “Spiral” and Non-sense's handclaps.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, but should I lock one down early? Once we know the seats, will the back rows go below face value? I'm torn.

I went to my first concert without really knowing the songs yet. I got a little sick of the endless “Spiral.” Sorry, Yulippe.

What does “a major tie-in for every song” mean?

>852 I'll snap it in half.

Crack—snap.

>883 Same here, lol.

Is the bad weather in Kanto this weekend because of Mochi?

>867 It's the same every time, but they get weak as hell starting in week two, huh? (lol) I feel like “Sparkle” and “Yume Mita Ato de” had crazy long legs, though.

Yuri Kurose.

Yuri Geller.

I bought the coupling-song best-of. I was moved that “Tatoeba 12-gatsu no Yoru ni” was included. Azuki Nana's lyrics really are great.

Yuri Albachakov.

F-1 finally starts this week. Red Bull is the favorite again this year, right?

I'm looking forward to this weekend's LIVE!

So Nanao was Oguri's ex-girlfriend. I wonder what things were like with Azuki Nana.

>897 It might unexpectedly be the final LIVE. They've been fading into obscurity lately.

Azuki Nana really is the better woman, huh.

Songs I'd like Yuri Nakamura to cover, part whatever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpHEU0vi6IU This one's incredible!!!!!!!!!

>898 They don't call it a lowlife's dirty mind for nothing.

I'm working hard for Yuri-san again today.

I want to marry Azuki-san.

The thing where Kobukuro's original figurines look exactly like Mochi and Furui-san.

Without even posting the picture...

My ticket for the Big Egg on the 18th arrived, lol.

It's a shame they're not playing “Aoi Kouka.” I think the overplayed songs should be done as a medley. I don't like that single songs get priority over album songs either.

It's my first concert this Saturday. Do they sell penlights at the venue?

They don't sell penlights. Please buy a Lonely Light.

Penlight. Penlight. Penlight.

>913 Buy a Lonely Light. Get both the red and yellow ones.

My ticket says to bring a penlight and a uchiwa fan.

>914-916 Sorry, I didn't know they were called Lonely Lights. I'll buy a yellow one and a red one at the venue, get hyped, and have a great time!!

What a straightforward nice guy. I'm happy he's willing to spend 3,000 yen, but don't overdo it.

They cost 3,000 yen?... But if buying them lets you get hyped, that's cheap enough, right?

I'm only planning to buy one color because of my budget, but I'm buying one! It's fun to wave it, and I've been grinning to myself thinking about waving it when they come back out for the encore too, not just during “Lonely Light.” They have advance merch sales, so if you have time, it's best to buy things before the doors open. If you wait until right before the show starts, the line gets insanely long. And it's even longer after the show.

I wish they'd hold the concert earlier. It's rough for people coming in from out of town.

Ooh, I'm really looking forward to the concert. I hear Tokyo Dome City Hall has good acoustics. I wonder what it's actually like.

>921 They have advance merch sales too, huh? I want to go early and buy something. Any recommendations? If the budget gets tight, I'll give up. I can spend around 10,000 yen.

Do I have to buy both Lonely Lights?

>924 Are you in a situation where you can't look at a computer? The official site says the advance sales start at 15:00 on the 17th and 14:30 on the 18th (the merch list is on the official site too). Just buy whatever you like. Some people prefer stationery, some prefer clothes. If it's your first time, maybe start with the Mini-Cro CDs (1,500 yen each)? Having a Lonely Light (1,500 yen) makes it more fun, so I recommend one. The 3,000-yen pamphlet offers a different kind of enjoyment from the videos. The 7,500-yen hoodie looks good, but there are no photos, so I can't say much about it either. Everything else, including the perfume, is displayed in person at the venue, so take a good look and decide. Also, they basically don't give you a bag, so buy the 500-yen nonwoven bag or bring something of your own.

I wish Yulippe and Azuki Nana would hurry up and get married to each other.

Now that's a nice thing to say.

You can't get the old Mini-Cro anymore, right? It looked like only number 1 had sold out at the Osaka merch booth the other day.

I don't think number 1 was ever on sale in the first place. Apparently they didn't make many, either.

>926 I'm 924. Thanks for all the advice. I'll definitely buy a Lonely Light; the rest depends on my wallet.

Seeing Nana-chan smile gives me the strength to keep going today too. Seeing Yulippe's heavy makeup... somehow leaves me feeling miserable.

Only two days until I see Yuri-san in person.

I'm working hard for Yuri-san again today.

Why is the setlist always the same? Do other artists do that too?

Which is better, the coupling-song best-of or “Memories”?

Lonely Light was blue and pink at the countdown, but this time it's red and yellow. Different colors, huh?

Isn't the sound at GARNET CROW concerts too loud? You can't hear Yulippe's voice over the drums.

This setlist feels lacking in freshness even compared with the past two years. I did submit my opinion, but I guess they'll just ignore it. I was hoping they'd play something like “Blue Regret” from “Memories” in a fuller version. But they're not going to play it, are they? And I agree that they haven't reflected enough on the sound being way too loud.

I really don't think those drawn-out drum fills at the end of songs are necessary.

It was originally a studio band, so it can't be helped.

The merch will be sold on Musing later, right?

Through the fan club too.

The Hong Kong show was canceled because of that shitty mayor, Kawamura.

Good for you.

I'm off to go eat with Yulippe.

Pussy?

I have a feeling Mini-Cro is going to release a full album eventually. Wouldn't that piss people off, though?

Pussy...

So basically, I just need to buy the Light and Mini-Cro, right?

I want Mochi to cover this at a concert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRfc_Y_AsLo&feature=related If possible, I want to play Slash.

Yokohama Arena's ticket results—tomorrow, maybe?

They're already out. You lost.

Because you've already lost.

I want them to invite someone as a guest.

I want to marry Yuri-san.

In Osaka, I couldn't hear the lyrics at all until halfway through. They probably didn't do a proper dress rehearsal. The drums are a problem on top of everything else.

Pussy!

I also snagged the second Osaka-Jo Hall show for SZ, lol. Who'll be the Kansai backing band?

I get to see Yulippe the day after tomorrow and the day after that＼(^o^)／

There's poop stuck to it.

I'm just a regular member, so I'm on the third floor, but they held concerts under the JCB Hall name before too, right? I'm extremely worried about whether the sound is okay up there.

Maybe the guest will be K.

I only recently found out there was a show called “GARNET TIME,” and I've been watching all sorts of clips, but I seriously fell in love with AZUKI Nana. I've always loved the songs and bought all the CDs, but this is the first time in my life I've seriously fallen for a celebrity.

■ Listening previews start for 4th album “Sentimental na Rhythm”! ＜Preview tracks＞ Sentimentalism Kowashite Tobikome MySpace http://www.myspace.com/marieueda

>957 I've never had trouble hearing the lyrics before (apart from Yulippe's pronunciation), but it's definitely often hard to hear the sound properly. The delicate sounds, like Furui-san's synths and the strings, often get drowned out too. I didn't hear the Osaka show, but I hope the sound is good in Tokyo.

So that someday, instead of deep scars, a precious feeling will remain, and when tomorrow comes, I can lean toward tomorrow again, toward the gentler side. This song is really healing, and listening to it makes me feel gently wrapped in something warm. Thank you, GARNET CROW.

That's just your imagination.

I'm working hard for Yuri-san again today.

I can't help finding people who pronounce “ru” as “ryu” attractive.

If Yulippe's songs had ordinary, predictable lyrics, I wouldn't have gotten this hooked. All I can say is Nana-san's lyrics are incredible.

Nana-chan's smile heals me like crazy.

The vocalist is beautiful. She looks like Michiko Kichise's little sister.

This Sunday's concert will be my first. Are there any songs whose lyrics I should memorize beforehand? Also, could someone tell me whether there are coin lockers nearby?

Yulippe's voice and the songs go really well with Nana's lyrics.

Kis-My-Ft2's first show under their own name! Taking on variety TV It was announced on the 15th that popular group Kis-My-Ft2 will host their first self-titled program on TV Asahi's variety show “Hama Kiss” (starting April 4, Wednesdays at 1:21 a.m.). Under the concept of a “variety school,” the Kis-My members will be taught the basics of variety TV by comedian Yu Hamaguchi (40) of comedy duo Yoiko and various guest comedians. Taishuke Fujigaya (24) said, “This is our first regular show with all seven of us under our own name. Having a variety show with all seven of us was honestly a dream. We just have to do it!” Meanwhile, Hamaguchi, who will drill the basics into the variety-show beginners, said, “I plan to train Kis-My hard until they become ‘variety monsters’ and pull me along.” Member Toshiya Miyata (23) welcomed the “Spartan education”: “I always wanted to become a talent who could succeed in variety shows like Hamaguchi-san. Since this is our first self-titled show, I'll work hard with the resolve to take off one layer after another and get naked!” After the second special episode airs on March 23 (11:15 p.m.), the program will become a regular show in April. Physical challenges await, including “Find the Fake Hot Spring!”, where they bathe in all three hot springs while acting so nobody can tell which one is actually a cold-water bath. Having received lessons from “Great Senior” Hamaguchi, they will charge head-on toward the top of variety TV.

Nana-sama's lyrics are amazing: even though she uses short words, you can easily picture the situation and the space.

>974 There are coin lockers nearby. Outside the venue, there'll be a juniors' baseball tournament at the Big Egg that day, so the coin lockers will be taken by the ladies who traveled in and there won't be any available.

>974 You should be fine if you memorize the choruses. Yulippe usually points the mic at the audience during the choruses, after all. There should be lockers if you look around.

Spiral.

Are there any songs with lines like: “Don't give up,” “Don't lose hope,” or “Don't be afraid”?

I went to the pachinko parlor for Yulippe again today.

>981 For “Don't be afraid,” there's “Go For It.”

Where's the setlist written down?

I can't afford a Lonely Light, so if I wave a penlight from the 100-yen shop, will I get yelled at?

They won't yell at you, but Yulippe might be disappointed, lol.

Weren't penlights originally prohibited?
