>1 Otsu the Dew.

>1 Otsu in the silence.

Otsu. To celebrate the release of the original album “Terminus,” a NicoNico Live “Listen to Every Song” special has been confirmed!! NEW!! A two-hour special delivering every song from “Terminus,” music videos, past live footage, and more. And there's more! During the show, they'll hold a “GARNET CROW Quiz,” where you can win special GARNET CROW prizes. Don't miss a single moment of this unforgettable two-hour show!! ※GARNET CROW themselves will not be appearing. ＜Program title＞ GARNET CROW new album “Terminus” release special “Listen to Every Song” ＜Broadcast time＞ Friday, March 22, from 21:00 ＜Viewing URL＞ http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv129666882

“Terminus” is pretty good. It comes at you with uptempo songs at first, then lets you hear some experimental stuff. After “Shishi wo Yuku Umi,” it lines up those quintessential GARNET-style songs, and especially the last song, “closer,” is an excellent piece worthy of closing an album for the first time in a while. But people who were expecting an entirely dark album might find the gap a little jarring. My first impression was, “Every song sounds like ordinary pop you could find anywhere…” but the more I played it, the more this one gradually transformed too. That's where you can really feel their skill. By the way: 5>2>7>10=4>8>1=6>9>3

>5 Are there no depressing songs or songs with death as a theme?

>1 A乙UKI Nana.

I was imagining something dark, but is it fairly poppy… Well, whatever. I want to hear it already.

mfmes is having its final episode too. http://i.imgur.com/vGMyAtw.jpg

First-listen impressions: ・“trade”: A song that somehow never existed until now. The overall rhythm is natural and easy to follow, which is nice. ・“Meiji”: The chorus ending feels kind of limp, so it doesn't really stand out. ・“Shiroi Sora”: This is a masterpiece! Part of the B-melody feels like “Circle Days,” and the chorus feels like “Natsu no Owari no Nagai Ame.” Also, Nana-san is beautiful. ・“Life goes on!”: Maybe for live shows? It doesn't leave much of an impression. ・“P.S GIRL”: My favorite. It has that Towa Bare-era song feel. Like an uptempo version of “Kaze to RAINBOW.” Sounds like it'll get everyone fired up live. ・“Kagami ni Mita Yume”: My second favorite. The chorus is easy to remember. It might appeal to people who like “Mijikai Natsu.” ・“The Someone's Tale”: Doesn't leave much of an impression. ・“coser”: Leaves absolutely no impression.

>9 Is Gane's column ending?

>11 Yep.

Can I bring luggage to the live? And what do I do with my coat? It's my first time going.

If it's standing, you have to leave your luggage somewhere or people will get annoyed, and in the worst case you'll lose it. If it's seated, put it under your chair or on your thighs while you're sitting.

>13 I recommend putting your luggage in a locker outside the venue. If you're standing, anything you leave at your feet will almost certainly get stepped on. For a coat, something lightweight that doesn't take up much space is best. If you tie the sleeves together around your waist, it won't get in the way as much.

“Kagami ni Mita Yume” is a rip-off of MONKEY MAJIK's “Headlight.”

>12 I hadn't thought anything of it until now, but it does make you want to read into things. Rina Aiuchi announced hers at a live show a few days after the CD release, though.

They were playing “Nostalgia” nonstop at FamilyMart.

What the hell is that? Just write “Nostalgia” normally.

FamilyMart plays Gane songs pretty often, huh?

>21 family.co.jp/fun/radio/index.html I keep requesting them there.

Huh… “Shiroi Sora”… Maybe don't get people's hopes up too much…

You can't really say anything about this album after hearing it just once. It probably needs a lot of repeated listening. Anyway, leaving “Shishi” aside, my order of preference after the first listen is: 1. trade 2. P.S GIRL 3. Shiroi Sora 4. Maizy 5. Kagami ni Mita Yume 6. closer 7. Life goes on! 8. The Someone's Tale

Is “closer” what comes after “Sky Blue”??

“The Someone's Tale” It's god-tier. The overall level is really high.

Let's stop the regulars' cheating. ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 〇〇〇〇�@�A〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 　�B�C〇〇〇〇〇　〇〇〇〇〇 　　　　　　　　　　↓ ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 〇〇〇〇�@�A〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇�B�C〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇　〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 �D�E　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 〇〇〇〇�@�B�C�A〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇�D�E〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 �F�G〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 　〇〇　〇〇〇〇〇　〇〇〇〇〇〇　 ↓ ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 〇〇〇〇�@�C�B�A〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇�D�F�G�E〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇〇 　〇〇〇〇〇〇〇　〇〇〇〇　〇〇

“The Someone's” feels kind of like “Yuzukiya.”

Sorry for saying something rude, but when I listen with earphones I hear tiny popping sounds, and it feels kind of unpleasant. Is it just me? There are popping sounds around 1:40–1:43 in “Shishi wo Yuku Umi,” and in “trade” too. When I listen normally on my computer without earphones, there are no popping sounds and it sounds perfectly fine.

“The Someone's” is “Picture Of World,” isn't it? “P.S Girl” and “Shiroi Sora” are duds for me personally. I don't understand what “Shiroi Sora” is trying to do.

>30 Yeah.

Is Maizy a person's name?

“P.S GIRL” sounds a lot like the TV edit of “Kaze to RAINBOW.”

>33 I thought so too. There isn't a single dud—it's god-tier.

I don't personally like “Picture Of World” much, so “The Someone's Tale” might not be my thing either. Going off-topic, but I hate the fourth album so much it makes me want to cry. “Blue no Mori de,” “Ameagari no blue,” “Picture Of World,” and the rest all sound like the same song to me. I like the first half, but as it goes on… I personally prefer darker songs, so I wonder what I'll think of this album. I love the fifth album, though(lol).

This album gives lyric-interpretation enthusiasts plenty to work with.

Everyone's tastes seem really divided this time. For me, “P.S GIRL,” “Shiroi Sora,” and “Kagami ni Mita Yume” are hits, while “Maizy” and “closer” are duds.

Whenever a new Gane album comes out, it makes me think the previous one was better. This one feels safely made, which I personally like.

>37 They probably made songs fairly for both uptempo fans and ballad fans. Thank you for your love, Yurippe. This tendency has been especially obvious since the 8th album. Put positively, the styles are broad; put negatively, it feels like an indecisive album. I'm a ballad fan, and I'm searching for a song that can rival the previous “concerto.” …Maybe “closer.” It's understated, but surprisingly deep.

Impressions after listening a few times: Yurippe's composition is the worst it's ever been. Furui-san's arrangements are the best they've ever been. This is the first time I've listened to Gane and felt the melodies weren't reaching me at all. It's absolutely not that the songs are throwaways or bad songs, but there isn't even one song that feels like a masterpiece. (As an album of perfectly adequate supporting songs like “Genesis” and “Mou Chotto…,” it works, though.) But Furui-san's arrangements cover up the weakness of the songs. They have an elegance like the album cover, while still being quite adventurous. And this time they don't just make full use of the essential Gane technique of creating highly individual sounds while moving toward ordinary J-pop—they also deliberately bring out the Gane-ness, then push you away in unexpected ways. The flow as an album is pretty good too. For Gane, whose albums usually get stuck somewhere along the way, this is top-tier, and there are a lot of good points. But maybe it doesn't become a classic because every song is just too weak. If Furui-san hadn't done this much, it would've been the biggest stain on the music scene in years. Will my impression change if I listen more? I have a feeling all I'll ever be able to say is that the arrangements are incredible.

As long as Yurippe is healthy, that's all I need. I don't need anything else.

Then I'll gladly take Yurippe's chastity, if you don't mind.

>41 If the arrangements cover up the songs, isn't that a bad thing? Personally, I felt Furui-san did his job on some songs this time, but not on others. Of course, there were some wonderful arrangements too. It is true that a lot of the songs—“trade,” “Shiroi Sora,” “Kagami ni Mita Yume,” “The Someone's”—have blurry outlines, so depending on the arrangement they could become either upbeat or downbeat. Even so, I feel like he skillfully left them in a gray area. If he'd given them more decisive arrangements, the overall impression of the album might have been different. The only song where he completely nailed the style was probably “Nostalgia,” when all is said and done～ That's how I feel. Also, if you've only listened for one day, it's way too early to know. Same goes for both of us.

When's the 11th album coming?

The rhythm at the start of the chorus in “trade” kind of feels like “live.” Also, the way “P.S GIRL” enters the chorus reminded me of “Issho ni Kurasou”ｗ

I wanted more songs that hit you with an instant “Whoa, this is it!” The 9th had “Lonely Night” and “Blue Regret,” the 8th had “Aozora Kanata” and “The Crack-up,” and the 7th had “Hello Sadness,” “Elysium,” and “Hallelujah”… But on the 10th, “P.S GIRL” is about the only one(´・ω・｀)

The making-of was interesting, so I want to watch a longer version.

I want to hear a depressing song that surpasses “WEEKEND.”

I got an email saying it shipped on Sunday, but it still ended up being konozama(´･ω･`)

>35 Saying they sound like the same song is a bit much.

>27 The regulars always have tickets with great numbers, don't they?

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

I bought the regular edition, so I'm hoping someone uploads the making-of to YouTube.

Amazon is way too slow.

Nana-san next to the lyrics for “Shiroi Sora” is such a turn-onｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

This is the first time I've had an album without a single “This is the one!” song. I doubt that'll change even if I listen to it over and over…

It arrived from AMZON, so I gave it a listen. It has a Gane feel, but I didn't get that “A god-tier song just dropped!” feeling. “Life goes on!” “P.S GIRL” I like the feel of these, so I want them to play them live. For the rest, I'm going to keep listening and hope it's a grower of an album.

>55 Mine hasn't arrived either. Maybe I should stop ordering from the Jungleｗ

>29 Listening with headphones produces terrible distortionｗ Especially on “trade.” I have a feeling it'll become a car-stereo-only song.

Same here. Since I'm in the Osaka group and being late would be a problem, I went to a store for the first time in ages, but I was shocked to see that all the nearby CD shops had closedｗ I ended up going all the way to Umeda. CDs really don't sell anymore, huh?

Same—I ordered from Amazon and it still hasn't arrived. But I've already experienced the “There isn't even one ‘This is the one!’ song on the album” thing with the previous two albums.

>36 The lyrics to “trade” are basically “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” itselfｗ And “Shishi wo Yuku Umi” is definitely an homage to “The Old Man and the Sea,” right?

What's Madomagi?

>65 Isn't it the anime “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”? I used it as my New Year's countdown at the end of the year, so it kept me company.

>65 It's a famous anime called “Puella Magi Madoka Magica.”

I personally think the new one is really good. I wish Yuri-san would go back to natural makeup.

I can see “The Old Man and the Sea,” but I personally don't make the Madomagi connection.

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea what Madomagi is(lol).

What is that anime about, and what part is similar?

>71 You can understand the plot by reading the synopsis on Wikipedia, but the title “trade” (deal, exchange) makes you think of the magical girls' “contract,” and the chorus lyrics are apparently exactly like the ending's development.

Was the photobook shot at Chourakukan in Kyoto?

Mine arrived from the Jungle. The photobook is nice. Yurippe's makeup is way too heavyｗｗｗ Nana-san looks beautiful and natural.

The chorus of “Shiroi Sora” sounds like Ayu's “BLUE BIRD.” I can't stop thinking about it.

>29 >61 “Trade” is fine for me (I'm listening to the version without the DVD). Maybe your cheap earphones are picking up noise? I'm listening with ATH-CKM99s and it's perfectly clear with no problems.

Ah.

I bought it from Amazon and it arrived yesterday morning.

Apparently “Shishi wo Yuku Umi” is an homage to Hemingway's “The Old Man and the Sea” and “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.”

Even the CD's getting harder to make out the singing on.

I've been listening to everything from the early songs to the recent ones while reading the lyric booklets, and I wonder if they just make up the English lyrics as they go. There are songs whose sentences aren't grammatically correct, even though you can get the general nuance. Someone mentioned it before too, but there are songs that are grammatically incomprehensible…

>44 I totally get what you said about the gray zone. Personally, I would've preferred more decisive arrangements. Especially “Shiroi Sora”—I wish it had felt lighter and more nimble.

>79 What's your source for that?

The newsletter, maybe? It says they made it as a tribute to Hemingway.

I thought it was a collection of good songs, but the reviews here are pretty lowｗ

As always.

I have to say it… the Madomagi fanboys are gross☆(´・ω・)

The songs have gotten more digital compared with the old days. Furui-san worked overtime on this album. It felt like his arrangements were holding the songs together. The lyrics of the final “closer,” together with the album title, made GARNET feel like a flashback of the road they've traveled and their memories with the fans.

Amazon only has the first-press edition shipping on the 24th, and the regular edition is temporarily out of stock too. Did it sell better than expected, or did they just not stock enough?

“Shishi wo Yuku Umi” is on the low side key-wise, so even a guy could probably sing it in the original key. Not really a karaoke song, thoughｗ

I went and bought it. The “Here it comes!” feeling when I heard the intro to “P.S GIRL” was unreal.

“trade” is insanely addictive. The melody is great, but the arrangement is amazing too.

“Shiroi Sora” and “Kagami ni Mita Yume” are good. On the other hand, “Shishi wo Yuku Umi” is kind of underwhelming for me.

Hyakunen no Kodoku > Shishi wo Yuku Umi

As expected, the choruses of “Shiroi Sora” and “Natsu no Owari no Nagai Ame” are so similar that I keep mixing them up.

I've already listened to it several times, and as expected, “Maizy” and “Shishi” feel like they're on another level in terms of polish. I love the way “Maizy” is sung like a cry from the heart. “Shishi wo Yuku Umi” has difficult lyrics. It almost feels like it's testing whether you're really a fan, and while it won't appeal to everyone, I think it's good.

>40 If they were only stirring up breakup rumors to create buzz, they wouldn't make the photos inside feel so completely like goodbye. Gane is looking more and more likely to break up. Being able to keep going until they ran out of material, despite sales that could have gotten them fired at any time, was a happy career for an artist. With a vocalist who wasn't really at a professional level and a keyboardist whose playing you can't even tell is real…

I'm looking forward to Saturday's LIVE. I'll buy the CD immediately and listen to it over and over in a manga café(lol).

If they're breaking up, shouldn't they announce it soon? It'd be perfect bait for the new album. I think this band has been lucky. They managed to keep working without getting fired by the company, right up until they ran out of material to talk about. To spend more than ten years working professionally with a vocalist who was never really at a professional level and a keyboardist whose playing you can't even tell is real is the height of good fortune.

You sure are fixated on those two womenｗ

Number six on the daily chart.

Any news on the acceptance/rejection yet?

Source?

When the songs are crap, even the lyrics start to rot, so I want them to rip off tons of good songs and refine them into something better.

The rip-offs are pretty bad on this one too.

The reason I got konozama even though it shipped Sunday is probably that Nippon Express dumped it on Yu-Pack instead of delivering it themselves. I can finally listen to it.

I wonder what merchandise I should buy.

It arrived from Amazon. It's way better than “Memories.” I like it.

My prediction for the songs from the album they'll play: Nostalgia trade Maizy Life goes on! P.S GIRL Shishi wo Yuku Umi Kagami ni Mita Yume closer Those eight songs.

>106 No, they might as well break up already. They should cut the dead weight quickly. GIZA should invest everything in new artists and aim for a breakout. Gane sells better than the newcomers, but they've already had their big fireworks show, so there's no breakout coming for them anymore.

Even before whether they sell or not, maybe Yurippe has reached her limit, since she didn't originally want to be a singer. There's only so much you can hide by plastering on makeup.

After more than ten years, it's not like she's suddenly hit her limit now.

So when is Okamocchi tying the knot?

>112 Gane isn't dead weight for GIZA, damn it. Who else do you think they've got? You're underestimating advertising costs way too much. Try getting smarter and doing proper research before you speak.

945: 名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい.[] 投稿日：2013/03/18(月) 13:30:08.53 ID:q9RzpBxB0 I got it earlyｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ “The Someone's Tale” is incredible. At 12 minutes 4 seconds, isn't it their longest song ever? Forget “Shishi wo Yuku Umi” and “Maizy”—they should be promoting this song. It weaves the titles of dozens of their older songs into the lyrics, and I'm losing my mind.

>116 >1

It's number six, but number three sold only around 6,000 copies, so haven't sales dropped quite a bit?

>118 Sorry.

Gane are totally winners if you ask me. I really think they're a lucky bunch. Especially Mochiｗ

>121 I get how you feel, but these types especially come crawling out around album releases and tours.

>122 Mochi's got real talent, dammitｗ The lucky one is Azuki Nana, who didn't go from cosplayer to sexy actress, but instead became a wannabe lyricist.

>119 It's down. That's probably why the smell of a breakup is hanging even heavier in the air.

What about digital sales?

The fact that they're releasing an album off just one single makes it pretty obvious that they're putting more weight on live shows than CDs for revenue, so I guess they still aren't at the point of breaking up. The idiots yelling “break up, break up” all day should just buy a ton of live merch.

Yuri: “The next song is” Mochi: “Glico” Yuri: “Maizy” They might pull this one again.

When are they announcing the live merch? Was it always this last-minute?

>127 Agreed. We’re counting on the people with money to spare. >128 Smart.

>124 Nobody's taking the baitｗ

>128 Could be this tooｗ Yuri: “Then please listen to Meiji.” Mochi: “Showa.”

They're cramming 2,000 people into the standing area at the Tokyo arena? http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/165784050

I've had it on repeat this whole time, and my impression is that this one has a lot of easy-listening tracks. They could've thrown in one or two really heavy ones, though.

Is a breakup really that realistic? People were shouting “breakup” from the moment the title was announced for Memories too, but nothing happened, so I think it'll be fine this time as well.

Yeah, everything except Shishi feels pretty light. Mixing it with stuff like stay and crystallize might be just right.

P.S GIRL is insanely addictive. I've listened to it a few times and I'm getting hookedｗｗｗｗ

The plot summary for the DVD bonus: Yurippe, heavily made-up but still cold-sensitive Nana-sama, who still loves cameras Mochi the actor Mr. Furui the interviewer Seriously, if you're going to include the Nostalgia PV, spend that time on the making-of instead.

Are they about to hit 200 songs?

Probably 166 without counting re-arrangements, so they've still got a ways to go.

>100 It was way more similar than I expected.

>138 > Yurippe, heavily made-up but still cold-sensitive Ohhh, so you mean thick makeup aaaaa > Nana-sama, who still loves cameras The one being filmed?? > Mochi the actor Akuta?

Bought the album today. I wanted the regular edition, but it was sold out. The first time I listened, I was disappointed because I thought there were a lot of boring songs, but when I listened again a second time, I found there were a lot of songs that grow on you.

I was listening to Maizy through earphones in a pitch-black room and started to feel like crying. Maybe I'm just tired...

>132 It's the other way aroundｗｗ Seriously, every song on Terminus sounds the same to me. Maizy really does make you cry, though.

>116 I see people making dumb arguments like yours all the time. What is wrong with you? “They're GIZA's best-selling act” has nothing to do with it. Your criteria are all messed up. It comes down to sales, period. No matter how well something sells within that company, if it doesn't sell, it's judged as something that doesn't sell. Or is this what you're trying to say? “It's weird for Gane to get cut while acts that sell less than Gane are still around.” Well, the newcomers haven't even had their moment in the sun yet, so there's still a chance they could suddenly turn things around. Gane's fireworks have already gone off, and now there's nothing left but the decline. Their value is different.

Okay, okay, calm down a little.

I want Yurippe to learn from her. http://m.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&hl=ja&gl=JP&rl=yes&v=J_bbutYnxoU&feature=related She respects GARNET.

Yurippe, please learn from her. http://m.youtube.com/watch?hl=ja&client=mv-google&gl=JP&v=-fxAmKiyBlY

There isn't a dumber opinion than “every song sounds the same.”

Yurippe, please learn from her. I'm begging you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_bbutYnxoU

I missed out on tickets for the 23rdorz Are the chances of getting a ticket at the door pretty slim?

The making-of feels like some local late-night TV show around 11 p.m. The live footage on the previous DVD was full of amateurish staging too... Maybe this is just what they're like.

I bought a brand-new album, but there was something like a white scratch or mark on the CD's data side. Should I contact the record company?

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Damn, I have plans and can't make it to a single concert this year...orz

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

>154 I think you should tell the CD shop you bought it from.

It was probably scratched when you took it out.

The girl who respects Ms. Yuri. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_bbutYnxoU

I know it's a bit late to ask, but isn't Terminus pronounced “TAR-mi-nus”? Is it “TEL-mi-nus”?

http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/terminus

This album is a grower. I don't think it's bad at all. You should try listening in random mode. The opening of Kagami ni Mita Yume (keyboard + guitar) is outstanding. I really want Nana's playing to get a close-up shot on the DVD. Wiki Terminus (ターミナス, also テルミナス) is the name of a fictional planet appearing in the Foundation trilogy and its sequels, the science-fiction novels by Isaac Asimov, and is also the name of its capital city.

No merch for this tour? Announce it already!

Yurippe's chorus parts are lighter than usual, which is kind of a shame... They could've piled them on like they did in Endless Desire.

I wonder why they never play Hare Dokei live. I feel like everyone would enjoy it.

Don't they put way too many effects on the vocals?

You mean on her face?

The guitar is way more in-your-face than it used to be.

Because his skills have improved.

I hear Mobile Police Patlabor is getting a live-action movie.

>168 Without makeup, things get pretty bad, okay? Give it a rest already!

Got the new album! trade is perfect in terms of the music, lyrics, and arrangement. It might be my favorite song they've ever done.

What is this god-tier album? It's a masterpiece on the level of STAY.

Though overall, they put way too many effects on the vocals. It's hard to hear...

There's an extremely high chance Nostalgia will be the first song of the tour.

Who the hell is Ayaka Yamamoto?

She's NMB's number one.

It was true. Thanks.

An album with nothing worth listening to besides trade.

No way.

Their worst album yet.

So far, Shiroi Sora, trade, and Meiji are good. Though I've only played it about three times. Someone's Tale sounds exactly like Picture of World to meｗ I like it this way too, though.

It really is their worst one yet. Feels like their talent has dried up and they've run out of ideas too.

Exactly. That's why breaking up now would be the best option. They're not an act that can at least still sell like B'z, after all. I honestly have to wonder whether the people who don't want them to break up are even interested in music. They're not idols. Once things become musically hopeless, you'd normally want them to break up.

【GARNET CROW】To celebrate the release of the original album “Terminus,” a special Niconico Live broadcast for listening to the entire album has been announced!! http://garnetcrow.com

The merch, finally...

GARNET CROW is immortal forever!!

There was already a sense that they'd run out of ideas starting with the last album, but this is awful. Maybe breaking up now really would be best.

This one really grows on you. There are lots of good songs overall, and there isn't anything I particularly dislike, so it's not bad. There just isn't a song with that usual, unmistakable impact.

The LIVE shows add a little spice, letting you listen to the album more deeply and from more angles.

The regular edition's booklet had such a crappy content. Especially the vocalist's pages—just a lineup of photos from the same angle with basically the same expression, like a bunch of edited wax-doll photos with no expression at all. Including something this shoddy actually makes me think worse of the CD.

I can't believe Lonely Light is happening... So is Lonely Night confirmed?

It'd be a huge shock if I bought Lonely Light and they didn't play itｗ

I wonder if there are people who buy it every time. By the way, is it really pronounced “TEL-mi-nus”?

I got an in-stock email from Amazon for the regular edition, but it's already not the first-press limited edition...

>196 ? Do you mean the regular edition with the photo book (first-press production) is already sold out?

Terminus is totally good. I also like that it doesn't really sound like any of their other albums. Are the people bashing it anti-fans?

It took me five plays to appreciate Parauni and four for Memories, but this one had already hooked me after three. In other words, it's a good album.

>154 Mine had white scratches tooorz I took it out really carefully, so I think they were there from the start. There's about a 1-cm mark on the very outer edge, and some on the inner non-data side too... Mine's the first-press limited edition, by the way.

>194 It says to wave it for songs other than Lonely Night too, so there should be some.

>197 Looks like it's over. I canceled mine for now. For those who bought it, which was better, the DVD or the photo book?

I wonder if they'll sing any rare songs.

The merch page says the Lonely Light colors are orange / blue, but the orange one looks completely yellow to me... What do you guys think?

It's malt-colored.

>203 The photo book has a few expressionless photos in the same kind of space as the CD jacket, with the same outfits, same hairstyles, and same expressions, all from similar angles. The rest is just scenery. It's not interesting in the slightest.

>205 It looks almost entirely yellow, but if you darken it, it looks orangeｗ Especially the tip.

Lonely Light (orange) ¥1,500 Shoulder bag ¥2,200 Pick set ¥500 Reversible jacket parka ¥18,000 Viento blanco ¥1,500 So that's ¥23,700 total?

Huh, everyone's buying the light???

>207 Don't complain about a freebieｗｗｗ Some people don't care about the DVD.

Photo book: Double-page spread: Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany... A fantastical atmosphere. After that, some cool photos taken inside the castle. A must-see. Though, I don't think it's the inside of a real castle...

I bought the regular edition because I thought I might get to see Yurippe in a swimsuit, so if it can't even clear the bare minimum standard, of course I'm going to complain.

The parka has me tempted, but for ¥18,000 I could buy the Leaf from Arc too... That's a little steep. >210 I'm planning to reuse the one from the countdown show this time too.

It's number seven on Oricon's daily chart. That's amazing.

A lot of the merch is pretty elaborate, but there isn't much that I particularly want. Probably just the pamphlet and the MINIQLO (Viento blanco). I already have the previous Lonely Light, but I'll probably buy this one too. My prediction is that the Yurikkuma pendant will be the most popularｗ

The photo book is about what you'd expect. The photos on the lyric card came out better. Nana looks beautiful.

>215 What's so amazing about that? It's only relatively high because this is a weak week overall. They didn't even sell 3,000 copies on release day.

I like songs that sound like t.m.revolution's “thunderbird.”

No matter how good an album they make, it's a waste if they don't get any promotion at all. Maybe they should switch labels?

You guys spend all your time trashing it, but you're still listening after allｗｗｗ I think Terminus is a good album. It definitely doesn't have many especially standout songs, though. Waiting three or four years for this was worth it.

It won't sell even if they promote it, and it sells even if they don't.

It's kind of depressing that there isn't a single tie-in.

You can't feel any desire from the employees to actually sell it. They've left the blog abandoned tooｗ

Being is already in dire straits too, isn't it? B'z is the only act selling, and even B'z has a low activity level. The rest are just Kuraki, BREAKERZ, and Gane selling tiny amounts, like sparrow tears. Basically they're being propped up by B'z aloneｗｗｗ

Oh right, there was also that Korean act called BOYFRIEND. They used to have nothing but female artists, but now they're putting their effort into men. Well, that's probably the right choice.

Wasn't there some three-member gothic lolita group? What were they called?

They definitely didn't ship many copies this time, did they? They could've sold more. Amazon's already sold out, so how stupid is GIZA exactly?

UNDER FOREST, right? Looks like they didn't do anything last year, and now they're done after putting out one albumｗｗｗ

I'm excited that I'll get to see Yurippe in a swimsuit in just two days.

They're going to be in the red either way, so they didn't need to be so afraid of shipping more. Even with a shipping limit, they'd still lose money at those quantities. An act at Gane's level is normally in the red. With a completely self-funded setup like Being's, you have to sell a certain amount just to break even. It's the same as being indie. ZARD supposedly sold hundreds of thousands of copies and still lost money because of advertising costs. That means they'd absolutely need to sell tens of thousands even without spending on promotion.

↑ It's precisely because they're completely self-funded that they're somehow managing to stay afloat. Learn something about distribution before you start talking, grandpa.

No way in hell. Being completely self-funded just means you have to provide all the money yourself. Way too many people misunderstand self-funded or indie setups as being nothing but benefits. With an indie setup, if it doesn't sell, you take a huge loss. If it sells, you make a huge profit, sure.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

>218 I don't think that's right. Comparing absolute numbers isn't appropriate. This is an age when CDs don't sell. People who buy downloads from the start aren't reflected in the sales numbers. People who listen on the go don't buy CDs. Sure, there is software that removes copy protection, but regular people aren't going to bother with that, are they?

closer is really good. My first impression was that it was kind of hazy, like Kimi Pika.

Anyway, here's the daily report.

It was learned on the 21st that actor Masato Sakai (39) and singer Yuri Nakamura (35) will be getting married in early April.

They're handing out arm reflectors, so do we even need the Lonely Light?

>238 It was learned on the 21st that guitarist Yoshinobu Oga (41) and singer Shuka Hasui (35) will be getting married in early April. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es0Ymq4jTFU

It finally arrived from Amazon. Shiroi Sora and Kagami ni Mita Yume were surprisingly good. From the titles, I thought they'd be like Tsumetai Kage, but they weren't at all. It's a good album overall, but she's really stopped using falsetto. I actually liked it quite a bit.

I'm debating whether to buy the regular edition, but judging from this thread, it doesn't seem all that good...

It's their first masterpiece since STAY. There are hardly any throwaway tracks. At this level, I wouldn't mind if it were their last album.

>243 Agreed, but breaking up would suck.

I think Ms. Yuri was an angel who descended to earth.

Masaki Hano and Nana-chan look alike.

This album is GARNET CROW at full strength.

An album like dashi made from dried bonito flakes.

They've finally entered a Joysound request campaign again after a long time. I have to work hard at voting.

Fifty minutes to go.

Oh crap, I forgotｗ I'll set the recording timer.

I cried at Maizy. This is Gane at its best.

I think Miho Kanno is prettier than Ms. Yuri.

I think Yuri Nakamura is uglier than Kintaro.

>250 Why did they enter everything all at once? The votes are already getting split... I'll vote for one anyway.

If Lonely Night is on the setlist, I guess Holy Ground won't be.

This is my first time going to one of their live shows. If it starts at seven, around what time does it end?

I forgotーーーーーーーーーー

Before tenーーーーーーーーーー

Watching Niconico Live now.

>261 I forgotｗｗｗ Thanksｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>258 It'll be over before 9:30.

If anyone has a spare ticket for the show on the 30th, would you sell it to me? I found out I can go to Tokyo that day, but it was already sold out...

Niconico Live viewers broke 20,000.

Niconico Live was fun. It's fun when all the fans get together after all.

That was funー 22,600 attendees in the end? That's pretty impressive.

Maybe there are a lot of fans who keep it on the down-low. They're not a lost cause yet. They're not all perverts.

Who would've thought it would be a Nostalgia Spiral.

The first song will probably be Nostalgia.

Some people just take a peek and close it right away, so it's hard to say. I do the same with other artists' livestreams: I open them wondering what they're like, then close them without watching even five minutes.

Is 22,000 really that impressive? I thought it was tomorrow and missed the first half, which really sucks. I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on songs like trade.

Seriously, the quality of this album is insane. It easily makes my top three. But next time I want an album that's a parade of depressing songs.

I love GARNET CROW so much〜

Kagami ni Mita Yume is absolutely transcendent! I might cry if I hear it live.

Kagami ni Mita Yume is great, isn't it? The lyrics are pretty mysterious too.

Shiori Niiyama is ugly and tone-deaf, isn't she? GIZA has really fallen.

They probably wanted a second Yurippe.

How can you not understand Ms. Yuri's beauty...

I like Nakamura Yuri because she's 100% a virgin.

I watched the time-shifted Niconico Live, and trade was probably the most popular. Also, the quiz was so hard I died laughingｗ

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

This album had absolutely no unnecessary songs for me, but it also didn't have a masterpiece good enough to make my top ten and make me go “This is it!” Still, it's a really good album to play as background music. It never gets in the way at all. I was a little shocked that she could write lyrics like “Life goes on!” It's an interesting song. It keeps looping in my head. The white sky racing through the one and only eternity in a world at summer's end The lion crossing the sea's hundred years of solitude These two are good songs too, but... hmm...

I wonder what the two-digit ticket number was that an otaku called Beckham sold for ¥50,000. Was it the same number as the one he got?

I wonder if they could open the live show with something like P.S GIRL.

>283 Totally agree. There aren't any throwaway tracks, but I also didn't think there were any songs that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Maybe it's because there are so many tracks with similar moods. Shishi and P.S GIRL were good in the sense that they leave an impression.

>285 The first song is Spiral.

P.S GIRL could work as the closing song before the encore too.

>284 Beckham? He's still an otakuｗ He used to make unauthorized recordings at Kuraki's shows, right?

>289 Wasn't it secretly filming? He got caught secretly filming with binoculars that had a digital camera built in.

The problems with email-address authentication on BBS http://www.knowledge-zoo.net/contents/1247

I got a poster just for buying one copy of Terminus! Also, you can enter a raffle for a signed poster if you spend at least ¥3,000 on old releases, but I lost... I bought the blue Lonely Light, but the color is darker than I expected, almost purple.

So it's a different color from the blue one they sold before (Osaka?)

>293 I don't have the old one with me to compare, but I think this one is clearly darker.

>294 Ohh, thanks. I was wondering why the orange one was a first-time color while the blue one was coming back. So both of them are new colors after all. I can't decide which one to get.

The lyrics are all pretty good this time. The final lyrics of Maizy and closer really sent shivers down my spine.

If they broke up here, closer = loser = someone who failed would be what it means. Nana would never end things like that. She'd give it an ending that made more sense. So they aren't breaking up.

I don't understand why closer and loser would be linked with an “=”. They're completely different. I think it means more like, “Even making one album is such a struggle.”

Where can I find the Terminus merch info?

Standing through a concert in your mid-forties is rough. Even Mel Heaven doesn't move me anymore... probably... I think that's a good thing, though. What I want to see now is the cast of the Les Mis movie currently in theaters doing a world tour—even if it isn't a musical! Somewhere around Osaka-jō Hall... Javert has a rock voice and a down-to-earth appeal, which makes Les Mis easy to watch and accessible to the general public. Lowering the barrier, so to speak... The show starts in less than ten minutes...

From the official news: http://garnetcrow.com/news/livescope2013/index.html

I'm not going to make it to the show because of overtime. I mean, it might already have started...

Huh, you're going to Dojima? Even if you can't make it from the start, find a way to slip in. Good luck!

>301 Thanks.

>298 Seriously...?

The commercial aired during Conan! Wait, Saito is doing the movie theme song? Being...

Breakup?

I think they're spreading breakup rumors because there are still empty seats.

Oh, so that's what it isｗ

There are breakup rumors every time they release an album, though.

The breakup rumors started soon after their debut. They've still been going strong for more than ten years since thenｗ

1. Nostalgia 2. Bokura dake no Mirai 3. trade 4. Naked Story 5. Shiroi Sora 6. Maizy 7. Kagami ni Mita Yume 8. Over Drive 9. Futari no Rocket 10. Love lone star 11. The someone's tale 12. Kaze no Naka no Orgoru 13. wish 14. Lonely Night 15. Yume Mita Ato de 16. closer 17. blue bird 18. Fall in Life〜Hallelujah〜 19. P.S GIRL Encore Umi wo Yuku Shishi Life goes on Spiral

Huh? It's over already?

Spiral is back? Nooo〜

They performed every song from the albumｷﾀ─ｗｗﾍ√ﾚｖｖ〜(ﾟ∀ﾟ)─ｗｗﾍ√ﾚｖｖ〜─ !!

>312 Fake news. It ended at 8:30. It wasn't Infinite Spiral. More importantly, Nana's boobs were huge during the encore.

It's over. There were lots of newer songs, and the setlist didn't feel stale, so it was good.

Oh, so it was two and a half hours.

Okamochi's bathroom-break song was Kono Te wo Nobaseba. Yurippe's cover was Hotaru no Hikari. That was amazing.

Why did they play such a sad songｗ

They did an a cappella cover of Hotaru no Hikari, didn't they?

Setlist, now.

>320 Because it's graduation season.

>321 Did they sing Hotaru no Hikari in Japanese? Or in Gaelic (Scottish)?

>322 Because we grew up in different environments〜

Standing after a little sleep following an overnight shift and a party was rough. Still, I'm glad I got to watch today without my boss calling me in for an emergency. Apparently tomorrow's emergency work is only in the morning, so I should be able to watch tomorrow too. ...Hallelujah at the end was tough—or maybe I was asleep. It depends on my condition, but did they turn Someone into a hype song? With the piano? keyboard ratio raised to Ben Folds Five levels, they sounded like a fusion band. I wanted them to sing without any crowd-pumping, with flat vocals and no live-show feel, in an understated way. ...Well, nothing good comes from getting too much dopamine, so this was probably for the best. I'd overplayed it for a while, then hadn't listened at all until today, so there was a delay before I realized which song it was... The MC was still Shokotan as ever. Something like, “Under the barrier, do you choose to be moved or choose your life?”

For everyone standing in the back, could you see the stage?

>327 Well enough to make out their expressions. It was perfectly enjoyable.

The moderators dealt with the troll. It has now come to light that the trolling by a self-proclaimed Mai Kuraki fan in the GARNET CROW thread, the trolling by a self-proclaimed GARNET CROW fan in the Mai Kuraki thread, posting rankings and spamming blank posts, as well as abusive posts about Mai Kuraki, GARNET CROW, and their fans in other threads, were all done by the same person. It's shocking that one person used sockpuppets and all sorts of other methods to manufacture this whole conflict between Mai Kuraki and GARNET CROW fans. They're basically a psychopathｗ ↓ Threads confirmed to have been targeted with slander, abuse, and trolling against Mai Kuraki and GARNET CROW: ・Mai Kuraki thread ・GARNET CROW thread ・Rina Aiuchi thread ・Every Little Thing thread ・AAA Misako Uno anti thread ・Kana Nishino anti thread ・Sakura Gakuin thread ・Fumie Suguri anti thread ・Shizuka Arakawa thread ・Mao Asada thread ・Mao Asada anti thread ・Pokemon quitters-exposed thread There is a possibility that they'll come back using some other method, or that copycats will appear. If similar posts show up again, don't provoke them too much—just ignore them and report it to the moderators.

>328 Thanks a lot. In that case, if there are tickets at the door, I'll go in.

>330 They were still selling tickets for tomorrow's show when today's show ended, so you should be fine. Enjoy it to the fullest.

Where's the setlist already?

Setlist, now.

↓ http://www.nitori.co.jp/

>324 Probably Gaelic.

The good: Mysterious Eyes was great as always. Nana-sama's boobs. The bad: Yurippe's cringey makeup and outfit. Standing was tiring.

>331 Thanks. >335 Thanks. It was “Auld something,” right? I seem to remember them doing it at some live show before.

Setlist, hurry up. Those rumor-spreading bastards can die.

When they started talking about graduation and all that, I thought, “Is it finally happening?” But nothing came of it. Still, I can't help wondering whether there was some meaning behind going out of their way to include Hotaru no Hikari on Mini-Cro.

Since nobody seems to be posting the setlist, I'll at least write down the song titles. The order after the encore is accurate, but for everything else I just quickly listed the titles. Nostalgia Kaze to RAINBOW Mysterious Eyes (Mochi) Kono Te wo Nobaseba Hotaru no Hikari Shiroi Sora Lonely Night P.S GIRL Maizy over blow over drive closer Umi wo Yuku Shishi Eiyuu Life goes on! 〜Encore〜 Koisuru Koto Shika Dekinai Mitai ni Ameagari no Blue Hallelujah There were probably other songs too, and since the order is all mixed up, this isn't a complete setlist. Sorry for leaving it to someone else, but please fill in the gaps. This is all I can do.

If there were any news, I think they'd announce it on the first day.

The heckling was pretty normal today. I guess Kanto fans really are vulgar. Not me, thoughｗ

trade is a good song.

They didn't play On the way〜 It's one of my favorite songs. By the way, this was my first Gane show without Koyoi Eden or Spiral. It felt kind of fresh. In a way, there were no standard songs, so it left a different afterglow than usual.

I watched from the back. It was fun, but I feel like the crowd wasn't getting very hyped. The girls in the back were doing their best with the GARNET chants. They said it looked hard for girls to see from the back, but if you're of average height, you should be able to see the members normally.

So there was no Spiralｗ

They played Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete too. Nana-sama said Fitzgerald, but it's Hemingwayｗ Fitzgerald is The Crack-upｗ

>340 Did they play Shiroi Sora? Did you mean trade? They also played Kakurenbo. >342 There was one person in the front row on the right during the first half who had no sense of the mood, but I thought everyone else was pretty sensible.

>348 Was Kakurenbo the first time since Ninnaji?

>340 I think the third song was Aozora Kanata. They did Wiper. Also: live Smiley Nation Issho ni Kurasou Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete Was it like that?

>349 They played it at the 2010–2011 countdown show too.

What an amazing cheer. GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! Castanets GARNET! GARNET! GARNET! GARNET!

>329 What does this mean? Were they being trolled?

Yurippe's silhouette outfit today was way too sexy. The lines were crystal clear. The silhouette of her lower body was sexier than a swimsuit!

Everyone's being so proactive and reliable. Here's an update for now. Nostalgia Kaze to RAINBOW Aozora Kanata trade Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete Mysterious Eyes (Mochi) Kono Te wo Nobaseba Hotaru no Hikari Lonely Night P.S GIRL live Kakurenbo Smiley Nation Issho ni Kurasou Maizy over blow over drive On the way closer Umi wo Yuku Shishi Eiyuu Life goes on! 〜Encore〜 Koisuru Koto Shika Dekinai Mitai ni Ameagari no Blue Hallelujah

There were cheers for Okamoto too. Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamatchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi Okamocchi

>353 It's quiet lately, but there was a really bad one a few years ago. I don't know if it was the same person as the old one, and it feels like ancient history now anyway.

What was Yurippe wearing?

A see-through skirt.

Sorry. I was out eating with a junior. My phone was restricted. Nostalgia Kaze to RAINBOW Aozora Kanata trade Kakurenbo Mysterious Eyes Punk Version Auld Lang Syne over blow Maizy Over Drive Kono Te wo Nobaseba (Mochi) Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete ON THE WAY Issho ni Kurasou closer Umi wo Yuku Shishi Eiyuu live Lonely Night P.S GIRL Life goes on Smiley Nation Koisuru Koto Shika Dekinai Mitai ni Ameagari no Blue Fall in Life 〜Hallelujah〜 This should be right. There were way too many words like “farewell” and “finale” along the way and at the end, so it freaked me out. Also, the only support members were Ohashi and Kurose, and there were quite a few songs where Mochi played acoustic guitar.

Hotaru no Hikari and over blow had Mini-Cro-style full-band arrangements. Kono Te wo Nobaseba, Shishi, and Eiyuu had Mochi on acoustic guitar.

Is the song order right too? It would be perfect if they added call my name.

The only thing I'm unsure about is that closer might have come after Eiyuu. But it's probably right like this. Furui-san was cute getting a little flustered because he hadn't changed the synth settings during Ameagari.

>360 I'm 340. Rather than “filling in the gaps,” thank you for putting it together. I could barely manage to list the song titles myself, so this really helped.

Did they play “Hideo”? And no “Meiji” gag?

Nana's boobs when she turned back after posing were incredible... Showing her shoulders was nice too, but I couldn't help staring at the silhouette of her T-shirt.

>364 No problem. They might swap the over blow slot for another Mini-Cro song. It was a great setlist. Now I want to go tomorrow and to the Tokyo show too.

There was an idiot (maybe disabled?) on the far right who was saying things like, “I want to have sex with Yurippe and Nana-san,” and everyone around him froze. Well, if he was disabled, I guess it can't be helped.

What about the band members? Were there backing vocals? Any guitar support?

There was no MC right before either “Hideo” or “Meiji.” During Nana's MC, she said Shishi came from The Old Man and the Sea, and the only other thing she said was that last year's Eiyuu from Memories was based on the image of Yamato Takeru. >369 The support members were Ohashi and Kurose. The backing vocals were mostly sound effects. Mochi did them on Eiyuu and one other song, though.

Nana messed up the intro and outro of On The Way. During the outro she gave this cute, embarrassed smile like, “Crap, I messed up again.”

Just hearing you guys talk about it makes me feel like I went to the show.

>370 Wait a second. No strings? I'm hoping Professor Ikeda will show up in Tokyo.

>373 Yeah. Mochi was the only guitarist too, so the performance was pretty simply put together. Furui-san was cool. During the final chorus of live, Yurippe got carried away and started singing about one note too high, so the PA guy and Furui-san panicked.

Knowing that over blow might be replaced by Marionette or Float World makes me want to go tomorrow too...

float is good. Maybe I'll go tomorrow. Is Yurippe wearing heavy makeup? So Yurippe is wearing a fluttery skirt. What about the top?

The cover song was Hotaru no Hikari? I was listening the whole time thinking it was Aogeba Toutoshi, like an idiot.

So Shiroi Sora, Kagami ni Mita Yume, and The Someone's Tale didn't make the cut. It's a shame Kaze no Naka no Orgoru wasn't there either.

I didn't expect to get to hear over blow, so I was really happy. It was a great show. But I'm short, so I could barely see anything. They should arrange standing tickets by height so everyone can see.

>303 I'm 302, and I made it in time for Mochi's song. Thanks. By the way, they were still selling tickets at the door at that time.

It's my first time going tomorrow. How do they decide where people stand? They don't just let people in first-come, first-served, right? Please, someone tell me...

First, they line you up outside roughly in order of your queue number (in groups of about ten). Once the doors open, they let you in in order.

>381 At the entrance, they call people in groups of ten, starting with the lowest queue numbers. Once inside, you can go wherever you like in the open areas. Basically, the space fills up starting from the front of the stage. You can't save your spot, so if you leave to use the bathroom or buy merch, you'll have no choice but to move to an open spot farther back. You have to stay put until the end. Also, obviously, if you're not at the entrance when your number is called, they'll skip you, so be careful.

Today they called numbers two at a time up through 50, then five at a time from 50 to 100. It took absurdly longｗ

Got it! Thanks. The doors open at four today, so I should be fine as long as I line up in number order before then, right?

>384 That's nice and thorough. At BLITZ I had a great number, but there was a group right behind me who snuck in illegally, so I couldn't just enjoy myself for a while.

Are there any restaurants near Dojima River?

>384 Did the complaint reach the organizers?ｗ Even so, there are probably still people who'll cheat the system.

The good: The transition from On The Way to Issho ni Kurasou. The transition from Lonely Night to P.S GIRL got me really hyped. I was extremely satisfied that they played Koisuru Koto Shika and Ameagari no Blue during the encore. The bad: Maybe it's my age, but standing was exhausting. My lower back feels heavy... I was toward the back, but there were people talking loudly during the performance, so I couldn't concentrate. On top of that, they were calling Nana “BBA,” which pissed me off. (Even if they only recently discovered her and came to the show, don't say stuff like that at the venue.)

The gap between the release and the live show was short, but did everyone listen enough to name the songs instantly from the intros? >389 At least don't chatter during the performance. Those insults toward Nana reminded me of that really tepid comment about Nana at the 2009 show.

Tell us in detail what Yurippe was wearing.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

There were also rude audience members telling Mochi he'd gotten fat, and as usual, people cutting in and pushing toward the front. There are still plenty of people with terrible manners.

Come on, let's observe basic manners.

Saying that just at the concert venue, though...

With free seating on a first-come, first-served basis, the problem is when a spot toward the front looks open, so you go over and ask, “Is this seat free?” and they say, “No, my friend is sitting there.” You lose time going back and searching for a spot in the rear. The staff should announce things like this or organize the seating order. Like: “There are no open seats in the center,” or “Please fill in the open seats from the middle outward,” and so on.

It's hard to see when you're short, isn't it? At 151 cm, it's just too rough for me.

I don't know about this venue, but at places like ZEPP they sometimes have sections divided by rails (with bars you can lean against). Even if they're a little farther back, spots with a rail are way better for standing. Ah, everyone already knows that, right?

>397 Why not wear 20-cm heelsｗｗｗｗ

>399 I wouldn't go as far as 20 cm, but I was thinking of wearing boots with a bit of a platform. Then I saw a tweet going around saying, “High shoes are a nuisance, you might step on the people around you, and they're bad manners,” so I can't do it because I feel like I'd get publicly called out.

Height really is a problem. I'm 168 cm, and there happened to be a bunch of short girls right in front of me, so I had a great view... There were seven or eight male college students who looked over 170 cm around the middle of the second row, so I bet it was really hard to see behind them. Couldn't they make a section for people under 155 cm? If they put it in the prime spot in the center, it'd turn into another Mai Kuraki disability controversy, so put it on the far right or left or something.

Her boobs were incredibleｗ

Is there a ticket-transfer board or something for GARNET CROW? My friend suddenly can't go to today's show, and the ticket is an A number near the front, so I don't want it to go to waste. I really want someone to use it.

>403 Put it up for auction. When you list it, write in the question section, “Please explain how much you care; I want to give this to someone who really loves them.” Delete all the bidders with bad ratings, check their past winning bids, and give it to the person you think deserves it. The price will obviously get driven way up, so you could refund the amount above face value afterward (don't write that part on the auction listing).

>402 How much padding was she wearing? >403 Something like mixi.

>404 I haven't registered as a Yahoo Auctions seller... And it's the day of the show. Is there any other way?

>401 I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try standing behind the girls or avoiding the center. Thanks.

>406 Be careful: if you're looking for someone to transfer it to at the venue, they'll think you're a scalper. Why not make a throwaway email address and look for someone that way?

>406 Spam Twitter with “please retweet” posts.

>403 I've bought one at face value on mixi before. At face value, there are no hard feelings afterward. There's not much time left, so if anyone here wants to buy it, post a throwaway email address.

If it weren't today, I'd buy it. I haven't been to a GARNET CROW show since the school festival at the university I attended back then, so I'm starting to want to go again after all this time.

>411 Kobe University? Come to Tokyo〜

>405 Huh? Σ(ﾟдﾟlll) Does Nana really need to pad her chest?

>413 It didn't look padded, but it was a T-shirt that made her modest chest look rather proud.

>412 You really remember something from that long ago. Tokyo is just too far. I'd pay however much the concert ticket cost, but spending so much just on transportation feels like a waste. I keep thinking I should go to the next show, though...

Sorry. I'm at the venue, but my girlfriend has gone missing. Her phone isn't connecting either, so I'm worried. If anyone there finds her, please post the location in this thread. Her name is Keiko. She wears glasses, has straight-cut bangs, and has trouble with one leg, so she walks dragging it behind her. She should be easy to recognize. Please!

The two-digit ticket that sold for ¥50,000 was for today, right? If the seller also entered with a two-digit number, does that mean they sold all four consecutive tickets?

Could someone tell me what the members were wearing... Please.

The setlist from 360 is mostly right, but I think the last song before the encore was Life goes on!, not Someone's Tale. There were a lot of surprising song choices this time, so it was fresh and fun. I could only see their upper bodies, but Ms. Nakamura looked cute and Nana looked sexy. People who liked Ms. Nakamura's second outfit from last year would probably like this one too. The disappointing thing was that for some reason there weren't any survey forms or anything. I can't help taking it negatively and wondering if it's cost-cutting or what...

They're starting from number one today too, right? My ticket is an unbelievably awful number in the 2000s(;_;)

Please cut Yurippe's makeup budget too.

Yesterday it seemed to be split into 1–1000 for fan club members, 1001–2000 for Musing, and 2001 onward for the general public, or something like that. If there are no people with the numbers in between, they skip ahead all at once, so even if you had a number around 2000 yesterday, you probably got in around number 1200.

Can a number around 150 get me near the front?

>420 Mine was in the latter half of the 1000s, and the 2000s started right behind me. There's no denying I was toward the back, but if there aren't any tall people in front of you, I think you'll still be able to see reasonably well.

>423 About the fifth row from the front rail, around in front of the second rail. Though the “gang” will cut in from the side.

So there won't actually be all 2,000 people there? What a reliefｗ Thanks!

Can I hear Hotaru no Hikari, Someone's Tale, and Issho ni Kurasou today too? ...Is there any cheap parking around Nakanoshima?

Yesterday I got to lean against the wall... But I'm in the 2200s anyway. I might as well go in right before it starts... I have an overnight shift tomorrow too. I'll power through with ¥1,800-class Yunker! Yunker at the cherry blossoms is...

What songs are actually included on Viento blanco?

>429 Float World Marionette Fantasia over blow Auld Lang Syne Personally, I especially liked Float World.

>428 Go with Yomeishu instead.

They're probably playing the show right now... I can't go, so I went and bought the album todayｗｗｗ I got the regular edition for nowｗｗｗ Seriously, aren't that travel bag and flying ship wildｗｗｗ Where are they goingｗｗｗ

Is it over?

The setlist changed. They played rainy soul.

>434 Seriously? rainy soul is great.

Would the song Okamoto sang be like Éponine, if you compare it to Les Mis? ... I'm okay... The show was great. As for parking, there was a huge lot between Osaka University and the Science Museum that worked well.

Also, yesterday I threw away that thing because I couldn't tell whether it was a shoehorn or a ruler or something. Us old guys who can't keep up with Twitter don't get it!

They played Futari no Rocket too.

Today is the momentous day we learned that Furui-san is a narcissistｗ Apparently none of them knew before.

Today is the last time. They're never coming back to Osaka.

I'm 340. Day two was roughly like this: Nostalgia Kaze to RAINBOW Aozora Kanata trade Kakurenbo Mysterious Eyes Punk Version Auld Lang Syne over blow Maizy Futari no Rocket Kono Te wo Nobaseba (Mochi) Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete ON THE WAY Issho ni Kurasou closer Umi wo Yuku Shishi Rainy Soul live Lonely Night P.S GIRL Smiley Nation Life goes on Koisuru Koto Shika Dekinai Mitai ni Ameagari no Blue Fall in Life 〜Hallelujah〜 There are still a lot of parts I'm fuzzy on this time, so please fill in the gaps.

Come to think of it, did that crazy person from yesterday not show up today, or did they behave? It was great not having any weird heckling. Yesterday, maybe because of that, Ms. Yuri didn't come over to this side (Nana's side), and Nana wouldn't even look over here. It was game overｗ Today was genuinely fun for the first time in a while. Also, in life goes on!, the chorus disappeared in parts like “I'll finish it in five minutes” and “Looks like I missed it.” If anyone's going to Tokyo, let's all sing along.

>442 There was a chorus on the first day. It really was a fun show.

>441 Thanks for the work.

What kind of heckling was there?

>445 See >368. It's true that on the first day, Yurippe didn't come over to Nana-sama's side much.

>441 Thanks! >442 Thanks! I want to sing along. I especially hope everyone around the front row gives it their all. Yurippe generally seems to go over to the Mochi/Furui side more than Nana's side. Since around STAY, anyway.

Right after the show started, someone shouted, “Yurippe and Nana-chan's outfits are sexy today” (probably verbatim). It completely froze the atmosphere in the venue. They kept repeating similar things, and were shouting their names without honorifics or something. It became impossible to enjoy the show. This person had probably been at the Tokyo fan-club event too, heckling by himself near my seat, so I've really had terrible luck with this placeｗ

>441 I think they played Souseiki I in place of one of the songs. They weren't wearing them yesterday, but on day two the members wore the Yurikkuma pendant and arm reflectors. Nana playing around with the arm reflector was hilarious.

Maybe they should only do Tokyo shows from now on.

The Tokyo crowd is rougher.

Nana corrected the Fitzgerald/Hemingway mix-up that 347 pointed out today too. I doubt she was actually reading this thread, though. During the final goodbye, Yurippe didn't say “See you again.” Could this really be the end? I really want them to keep going somehow...

Didn't she say “See you again”?

The last Osaka show.

Thank god that guy with the hat who heckles didn't show up. He was making weird noises at the countdown show before tooｗ

R○ is loud in Tokyo.

>455 You mean the person from 368, right? What is wrong with that guy? Is he intellectually disabled? Today was really peaceful, with hardly any yelling. Good thing yesterday wasn't a recording day.

According to today's MC, closer is pronounced “kroh-sah,” not “kroh-zah.”

>453 Did she really say “See you again”? Maybe I missed it. If she did, that's a little reassuring...

>458 So it means “closer,” as in “nearer.”

>458 It's because the WBC just endedｗｗｗ Speaking of which, Friday's Niconico stream had comments about Iwase and Fujikawa tooｗｗ

Come to think of it, Yurippe kept fussing with her ears today. I wonder if something happened.

Maybe the sound adjustment wasn't working properly.

There was no “What kind of year will this be?” talk, so maybe things really are bad.

You're reading way too much into itｗ

(ノﾉ人ヽ) (　■∀■)＜今でしょ！

The high-beam lighting was beautiful.

Damn... I wanted to go to the show. When is the DVD coming out? Summer?

Calls that make the members or audience uncomfortable should be prohibited, right? If they get flagged, won't they be banned from the next show onward? I can't go myself, but I hope this becomes a show everyone can look back on fondly.

Were there people cutting in?

If it were really the last show, they'd probably do Tokyo at Budokan and use a bigger venue in Osaka too.

>466 Niceｗ

>469 I think they're the kind of people who'd be difficult to ban from entering.

When I see English words ending in “-er,” I tend to think of words for people, like player, listener, and writer. But I think closer is just the comparative form of close, meaning “near” or “intimate.” Closer can also mean a person or thing that closes something, but in that case it's pronounced “kroh-zer.”

Oh, 460 already said that closer means “nearer.” I missed it. Sorry.

Finally home. It was nice that most of the songs were in the original key. Also, the transition from Aozora Kanata to trade gave me chills.

It was kind of sad that they only introduced Kurose-san and Ohashi-san as the members.

The encore songs were unexpected. As for Ameagari no Blue, I didn't recognize the song until it reached the chorusｗ

Today's recap: ・Mochi's claim that he's a “sunny-day man” ・About cherry-blossom viewing: 　Yuri: “Where are you going to see the blossoms?” 　Furui: “Horie Park. The blossoms bloom late, right? Or early? I lose track of the seasons and what day of the week it is.” 　Nana: “Furui-san asks me what day of the week it is every two or three days.” 　Yuri: “What day is it today?” 　Furui: “Sunday.” *clap clap clap clap clap clap* Furui: “Why are you applauding?” ・About graduation: 　Yuri: “Are there any graduates this year? Are you an elementary school student? You're lying, right? Huh, really!? Everyone around them, don't push.” ・Okamoto's corner: 　Yuri: “What song did you choose this time?” 　Mochi: “A song I've wanted to try singing for a while.” 　Yuri: “You should've told us.” 　Mochi: “If I told you, you'd definitely hype it up, right?” ・About Terminus: 　Yuri: “Just as people gather and head toward their destinations by plane, on foot, or by ship, I hope GARNET CROW's music can spread out too.” 　Yuri: “What's your recommended song, Furui-san?” 　Furui: “Kagami ni Mita Yume. The sadness is nice, right? Maybe because I'm a narcissist.” 　Yuri: “When do you listen to music?” 　Furui: “While driving, for example. I drive around Horie Park in circles. I listen while walking too.” 　Yuri: “On an iPad? Or is it an iPodｗｗｗｗ AZUKI, what about you?” 　Nana: “I don't listen while doing something else.” 　Furui: “The streets are overflowing with all kinds of dramas. It's good to listen in the middle of all that.” ・Today's MVP was Furui-san. 　Furui: “Something had gotten on my shirt.” ・The usual fashion check: 　Yuri: “It looks cool when you add more arm reflectors.” 　Mochi: “It'll stop the blood flow.” 　Nana: “Professor Furui, when should I buy this shirt?” 　Furui: “Now!” 　The rose version is smaller than the pink one, so the sizes are different. 　Yuri: “Where can you buy it?” 　Mochi: “Ama...zon...” 　Yuri: “Furui-san, when should I buy this?” 　Furui: “Now!” Yurippe and Mochi struck a ninja pose.

Nice work.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

>479 Nice work.

The song selection is nicely balanced this time. It's a shame they didn't play Shiroi Sora or Kagami ni Mita Yume, though.

They didn't re-record the vocals for Mini-Cro except on the first one, right...?

Was there no survey this time?

>485 Wasn't it just the message and request box on the ticket?

Terminus ★★★★　Nostalgia, trade, Maizy, The Someone's Tale ★★★　　Everything else This is the second time since STAY four years ago that nothing got five stars.

Since it's a tour named after the album title, they should've played every song.

Anyone who's been there, raise your hand! I live in Tokyo and I'm thinking of going Friday or Saturday. There should still be tickets, right?ｗ I'm not exactly a GARNET fan, though... I only occasionally listen to Summer's Mirage, Mysterious Eyes, and Namida no Yesterday on YouTube... Would I have fun if I went? I want to see the vocalist in person.

The vocalist is wearing a Sukekiyo mask right now.

Why a Sukekiyo mask?ｗｗｗ Isn't that aikoｗｗｗ

This time there wasn't even a week between the album release and the show, so I was freaking out because I barely had time to listen. But the song selection was good enough for even someone like me to enjoy it, which was great. It felt like they picked only the most prominent songs from the new album, and the only one I couldn't identify at the venue was closer. It must've been disappointing for people who wanted to hear tons of new songs, though.

What was Ms. Yuri Nakamura like?

>489 There are a lot of quiet songs, but you get to hear some really high-quality music.

This was my first live show, and Yurippe was unbelievably cute in person, with such a tiny face. Actually, every member was gorgeous.

Her boobs were bouncing all over the placeｗ

>496 Seriously?

Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Hills Pan Kojo! Messages have arrived from doa, Chicago Poodle, Sensation, Caos Caos Caos, WAR-ED, grram, Natsuiro, and Back PageZ!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQj8Gx1qpZk

I heard Yurippe's outfit was a see-through skirt. Could you see her thighs clearly? How far above the knees could you see through the skirt?

Someone who went to the Osaka show, please tell me: Was the Lonely Light sold out after all? Which color was more common at the venue?

>478 I love that opening melody, so it got me incredibly hypedｗ >498 I think you'd get your money's worth if you went. If you do go, ask here which upbeat songs are on this setlist and study up beforehand. You'll enjoy it even more. >500 I went on the first day, and the Lonely Light was sold out at the merch booth after the show. I think the colors were about half and half at the start... though I don't remember very well. Sorry.

>500 The lights were sold out. From what I saw, white seemed to be the most common color?? I also saw people occasionally bring pink or blue ones. Personally, Nana-sama's playing was really interesting. It may not have reached Hiromi Uehara's level, but it was aggressive enough to remind me of her.

>501 If they only sold out after the show, does that mean there should be enough to buy one beforehand? Last time I stood in line for two days, and both times they sold out before I got there... >502 Does the yellow one turn whitish when you switch it on? They had blue ones last time, and they're selling them this time too, right?

>503 I'm a casual fan who only buys Mini-Cro at the merch booth and isn't in the fan club, so I don't know what the situation is before the show... Sorry I couldn't be more help... If they used the Lonely Light for lots of songs, it'd be fun, so I'd buy one. At another artist's show, spinning a muffler towel around looked fun, so I impulsively bought one at the merch booth. I also think they should add more songs that use the lights.

Does the light come with batteries so you can use it right away?

They don't need to play that boring Lonely Night. Yurippe yesterday practically radiated the feeling that she was being made to do it.

>504 I only joined the fan club recently, and I only plan to buy Mini-Cro and the light, so I'm pretty much the sameｗ The merch page says, “Please wave it during songs other than Lonely Night too,” but does everyone still only wave it during Lonely Night? I'm going to buy a towel too since this will be my first show. I don't know if it's the same person, but... sorry, off-topic.

>506 It has always felt like she was being made to do it, but merch sales are important revenue too.

>507 Budokan! I can't go because of work, so I'm jealous. It's ten times more fun with the towelｗ It's absolutely worth more than it costs, so make sure you buy one. I think the atmosphere would get more exciting if the Lonely Light caught on more. Come to think of it, there wasn't an idiot waving a road-construction signal baton this time.

>505 You can use it. It has what I think is a button battery inside.

>509 I think there was one on the first day... Around the front left side. Sorry if I was mistaken.

Blue Lonely Light comparison: Countdown 2011–2012 (left) and livescope2013 (right) http://i.imgur.com/FtZbId1.jpg When lit: http://i.imgur.com/ezMbN5p.jpg The back is white. http://i.imgur.com/aAN7eay.jpg

I usually only buy the pamphlet and Mini-Cro, but the pamphlet was good this time too.

The pamphlet was good this time, wasn't it? I wonder what city they photographed it in.

Tell us more about the pamphlet.

I've been listening to trade over and over, and every so often there's a sound like static or noise. Did they deliberately create the noise with a synthesizer? I don't really know, but maybe it's called pink noise.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

I want them to play Rai・Rai・Ya.

>512 Oh wow, I couldn't find this image anywhere when I was looking before. This makes me happy. This year's one looks a little darker.

It looks like Yoshimi Yamazaki of Natsuiro also came to see the GARNET CROW tour. http://s.ameblo.jp/yamazaki-jma/entry-11498304369.html?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

Rather than saying I went, it felt more like I watched from the wings.

Everyone keeps asking for rare songs, but when they actually play one, the venue gets pretty quiet.

In the pin-badge merch announcement, the guy wearing the badge on day two was described as the person who got the crowd the most fired up... But the one who unquestionably got the crowd the most fired up (or killed the mood?) was that noisy frog. He was working way too hard.

>522 I know what you meanｗ I understand wanting to listen closely, but the members probably don't like it when the venue goes completely silent.

SoundScan: Terminus (first-press limited edition) 7,892 copies

Oricon: Number 9, 11,043 copies.

I thought they'd replace Lonely Night with P.S GIRL, but they played both back to back, which got me really hyped. It felt like about 30% fewer people were waving lights during P.S GIRL.

Someone's Tale was great... but I'd love to hear it in a completely silent venue, though I know that's impossible. Maybe they could do the instrumental and vocal versions back to back, but when there's no vocal, if they can't hold the stage like an Eikichi Yazawa performance... Would kicking a balloon around or following the melody with an instrument look stupid too? Maybe they should just not appear for the first song. I guess I want to enjoy the sound and lyrics of this song separately. The opening, “I thought we were supposed to take it easy and go,” is brilliant? If you hear it that way, it's a song you get hooked on. Though that's probably just me... It must take some real industry clout to get a light-car commercial. Right now, I don't have the mental space to watch the stage during this song.

Please speak humanｗ

Speaking of which, how popular is LINE these days? Everyone and their mother uses it; even at McDonald's, workplace conversations are all about mixi, Facebook, Twitter, Dragon Quest, Coca-Cola yo-yos, outdoor mazes, slimes, Dragon Quest, Daifugo... I'm going to bed.

Do you think the drummer's name is Kaichi because his parents thought he looked like a frog when he was bornｗ

Isn't it better for the venue to be completely silentｗ You can hear better that wayｗ The members probably prefer everyone to listen properly tooｗｗｗ

It's been three days since the show, but Hallelujah still won't leave my head.

Are they never going to play early songs like Eien ni Houre again?

>531 It's probably a stage name.

What was the punk version of Mysterious Eyes like??

I didn't know that was called the punk version. It was faster and felt fresh.

When you say “punk version,” you mean the version they always do live, right?

Calling that punk really shows how sheltered you are.

If possible, I would've liked to hear it with the atmosphere of the originalｗ

Mochi should sing with his hair standing up, drooling, and rolling his eyes back.

>516 Looking at the waveform, there aren't any clipped parts in the vocals. If I had to pick something, around 1:03 the “itsumo no yoru” line sounds a little like noise, maybe... But it seems to be within the acceptable range.

>527 The merch page says, “Please wave it during songs other than Lonely Night too!” but there weren't many people waving them, were there? I think it would look beautiful if everyone did the windshield-wiper motion during listen-heavy songs like Umi wo Yuku Shishi, or the one before Lonely Night.

I like Terminus because it doesn't have those noise drums that sound like Frog One is drumming while ejaculating.

Those hopping, frog-like drums! I guess it's something he's born withｗ

I think he's a pretty good drummer, though... Does he have a bad reputation?ｗｗｗ

>536 For me, it's Gane's best song! It has an irresistible rush to it.

I can never quite get used to the “One, two, three” chant at the beginning. Also, when I want to soak in the afterglow of the song, I hate how much the drums assert themselves. I'd rather have Mochi's guitar bring it to a close. I don't notice it during the performance, though, and I think he's good at what he does.

>548 > I can never quite get used to the “One, two, three” chant at the beginning. > Also, when I want to soak in the afterglow of the song, I hate how much the drums assert themselves. > > I'd rather have Mochi's guitar bring it to a close. Same here. Maybe because he's such an aggressive power drummer, there are times when Furui-san and Nana-san's sounds get drowned out. It ruins all the fine details Furui-san worked into the arrangements, which makes me want to cry. They could probably fix it with better mixing, but they only ever make tiny adjustments... The punk Mysterious Eyes is a good fit. It really makes me think he's the kind of drummer who suits B'z-style songs.

There are way too many songs that end with the drums pulling everything along. Honestly, a lot of them don't fit at all.

He is a good drummer. But being good doesn't mean he's a good fitｗ I feel like someone like Kurumaya would suit them better.

Rhythm is good enough that I almost prefer the live version.

Kurumaya's sound is paper-thin, though. It's ridiculous seeing him act like some cool jazz guy with nothing but those feeble, spindly techniques.

The Someone's Tale is a completely superior version of Mayoi no Mori. Kirari Fuwari Harari: 3 vs. 2 Yurari Horori. The 2-step groove is better too. And the intro that sounds like L'Arc-en-Ciel's Flower is great.

>549 >550 I'm glad someone else feels the same way. >552 I also overwhelmingly prefer the live versions of Kaze to RAINBOW and Kakurenbo.

>551 I still prefer David-san. Depending on the song, I think programmed drums are fine too.

Ameagari is better in the live version too.

As for the drums, I'd rather have Kamei from the★tambourines or Kurumaya. GARNET CROW doesn't need powerful drumming or huge-sounding drums. I think quiet drumming would suit them better.

PON is good. PON is the one!

I wish they'd record with real drums and bass instead of programmed drums and bass.

Since they didn't do Spiral this time, maybe the DVD will actually record the show all the way to the end.

I was drinking and listening to Memories, and day two flashed back again... Live Yurippe had that nasal, Moritaka Chisato-style idol vocal. The MC was Shokotan, but for some reason on day two she looked like Yoko Minamino in a white dress. Issho ni Kurasou was great—a top-tier delusion-love song. The electric guitar and drums were good too, and the psychedelic-love-style broken beats were cool. If they'd done STAY, I'd have been so full I would've collapsed. Spiral would probably have exceeded my CPU's processing power too. It was good that they did Lonely Night, Cabaret Camellia Diamond, and Eiyuu too, like a Nara yamabushi cutting his way through Okuhida. Hallelujah with its Ozaki-style touch was great too. Procol Harum, Nik Kershaw, and the lady on my right were all unbearable. I can't chase them to Tokyo for two straight days like I used to.

Thanks for going out of your way to check with specialized software, 542. I'm the kind of person who overreacts to tiny sounds or ugly noises that other people would consider totally irrelevant. Around 3:22 in The Someone's Tale, I can faintly hear a tiny voice say “ya” for an instant... Sorry if my nonsensical comments made you uncomfortable.

That old man likes adding sounds that are right on the edge of being audible, so if you heard it, that's a good thing, right?

It's part of the chorus.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

>547 Raoh, nice work.

The tickets sold outｗ There were still some on Yahoo Auctions, but whateverｗｗｗ Now I can finally give upｗｗｗ

Yesterday I went to a Sunkus convenience store and they were playing songs from Terminus. I thought, “How ominous! Is this a sign that something bad is about to happen?” Then Japan lost to Jordan and their World Cup qualification got postponed again (sob)!!!

I did kind of want to go aaaaaaaaaa I guess I'll make do with the CDｗｗ

1 > 2 > 9 > 8 > 4 > 6 > 3 > 7 > 5 > 10

That's the ranking of the Dragon Quest games by how fun they are, right?

It's the ranking of the new album's tracksｗｗｗ

I just realized it also works as the song order.

I can't accept it as either an album ranking or a Dragon Quest ranking. So it was the track order.

Nostalgia is number one?

Since it's their tenth album, you could also read it as a ranking of their favorite albums.

The more I listen to this album, the more I like it. I still don't know where it will settle if I eventually rank all the albums by how much I like them.

Everyone wants to make a favorite-song ranking, but it can also start arguments, so we need to be careful.

I ranked every track from albums eight through ten, and surprisingly realized how much I like Parauni.

I like Aozora Kanata.

I like it tooｗ I hear they're playing it live, so I'm jealous of everyone who can goｗ

>350 The sales deadline has only passed, so there should be same-day tickets on the 29th, right?

In Osaka, you could buy them from the Lawson terminal until the 22nd, the day before. Though they were numbers after 2200.

I assume the post above was for >568. There should be same-day tickets anyway. It's too early to give up. If all else fails, go to the venue planning to buy Mini-Cro.

I couldn't go to the show because of money and time off, but seeing this thread makes it look like everyone had fun... I want Mini-Cro. Please sell it to the general public.

>586 If you can somehow scrape together the money and time, go for it. The live performance is great. Yurippe's cute voice is great, and so is that voice that sounds like she's crying her heart out. ♪ “The autumn sky keeps accelerating—cycling!” (yeahー!) The sense of unity when everyone does that is incredible.

For the March 30 show, I have a ticket in the B section in the teens. Around where would that put me? Could someone knowledgeable tell me?

Where you end up depends on you.

>587 Hey, that sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I could go to Osaka, but Hiroshima to Tokyo is way too far. If they did a show around summer, I could go with my bonus.

11,000 copies? They sold better than I expected.

Cumulative sales???

>569 I heard them today too. I never hear GC songs out on the street normally, so I was surprisedｗ

>588 The arena is standing-room only with no chairs, so it's hard to say... Being in the teens could mean you'll get in early, but B comes after A, so it depends on how many people are in A. By the way, does anyone with a yellow light mind showing me what it looks like when lit?

>590 The “one, two, three” in Kakurenbo, and Non-sense-sensei's “pan-pan,” are fun tooｗ

Pan-pan.

Are all the members from Osaka??? It'd be hilarious if they went all-in on Kansai dialectｗ

Let it all hang out.

I think Furui-san is from Kanto. Nana-san and Mochi speak Kansai dialect. Yurippe mixes it in sometimes, but basically speaks standard Japanese.

>594 I have the yellow livescope2012 light. http://i.imgur.com/tHjJlgZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mVLJhEN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JDJJnIo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0D7pgki.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/iWSxbbo.jpg

I was going to write in the live-show survey about Yurippe's makeup being way too heavy, but apparently there isn't one...

>600 >601 I wanted to compare them, so this is great. I thought it was yellow, but compared to 2012 it's a little more orange. Thanks to both of you!

>602 Huh? There isn't even an online survey this time? If you have the guts, email them through the official contact form.

Is there no mail-order option for the live merch?

So, is Yurippe around 32 years old?

There might be one if you're in the fan club.

The T-shirt design is good, so I wish they'd made it on a black shirt. >605 Don't get your hopes up. You should either go there yourself or ask someone to buy it for you.

Yurippe is 38.

She was born around the 38th parallel.

>602 Please write it on the ticket stub.

I hope they release at least two singles this year...

Hypothetically, I hate the idea of them breaking up, but I could accept a hiatus. They don't have to force themselves to keep releasing albums and CDs back to back. One album every two years would be enough, and one single a year would be fine too. Rather than putting out work nonstop, I want GARNET to take their time and make good records. And whatever you call the mastering work they do when recording a CD, I wish they'd raise the quality a little more. Even if the work itself is good, bad sound quality is a problem.

That's a problem with your crappy music playerｗ

That's a problem with your crappy music playerｗ＜ You got meｗ

The hiss in trade is noisy, but it isn't noise.

Sorry for the basic question, but what brands of speakers or earphones do people who listen to GARNET CROW usually use?

Once you improve your listening setup, you can really hear how much work Furui-san put in. You also notice Yurippe's backing vocals in unexpected places.

>618 I don't know much about playback equipment, but if improving my setup would let me enjoy GARNET CROW's music more fully, I'd like to try it. Thanks for the reply.

Ms. Yuri and Nana will be coming to Tokyo soon. I can't go to the show, but at least I want to be happy that they'll be nearby.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

Then I shall work hard for the great Professor Furui.

They've released a new album and held live shows, but the staff blog hasn't been updated at all. At this point, all I can think is that they have no motivation.

Maybe they forgot? The manager seems to have a personality similar to Yurippe's.

It's just a laid-back office.

I listen with Sennheiser HD650 headphones.

>623 You really can't conclude anything other than that they have zero desire to sell it. They'd be much better off turning that space into a Diary.

>594 Thanks. Hopefully I can get at least a little closer to the front.

Even their singles are only bought by fans.

>626 I've used Victor HP-RX900s for years. My ears aren't good enough to tell the difference if I go any higher. I also have Shure earphones I bought just because the color looked like garnet, and I can't even make use of them.

Will there be same-day tickets tomorrow?

They've properly prepared the complete merch sets in advance this time, right? So all they have to do is put in the T-shirt size and Lonely Light color you choose, right? At the countdown show, they assembled every complete set from scratch, and everyone in the merch line had murder on their faces. I hope they learned from that. And from the one-hour delay at the Nakano fan-club event.

>632 In Osaka they had them pre-packed exactly like that. I saw them busily putting them together when I passed the venue about 30 minutes before the doors opened. Also, be careful with the Okamocchi T-shirt in the complete set: Okamocchi said it's smaller than the usual tour T-shirt. The red T-shirt should be about the same size as the usual tour shirt. Furui-san said M for the red one and L for the Okamocchi one, I think. I bought the complete set without knowing any of this and only found out at the show. They should've put it in the merch info...

I think Ms. Yuri was an angel who descended to earth to wear heavy makeup.

Yurippe's makeup is so heavy that living is painful.

Can I just show up at the Dome tomorrow? Will it be like, “Sorry, same-day tickets are sold out!”ｗｗ Will they sell out in the morning?ｗｗｗ Will there still be some at six in the evening?ｑｑｑ

GARNET CROW is performing at the venue next to the Giants' opening game tomorrow.

But sales don't start until five... I'm planning to arrive around six. Will I be okay? Actually, phone sales have been open since Wednesdayｗｗｗ Who knows what'll happenｗ Maybe the Giants will absorb all the customersｗｗｗ

I feel like something might happen. I also feel like absolutely nothing will happen.

The live version of Hallelujah is so insanely good I can't stand it.

The breakup rumors never stop, because they sang Hotaru no Hikari and didn't say “See you again.” If they actually broke up, I don't think I could go on living.

Maybe it's because Yurippe covered Hotaru no Hikari on GIZA's compilation Christmas Non-Stop Carol. The song Mochi covered on that same album, during the Parauni era, was also a cover.

The live → Lonely Night → P.S GIRL run was insane. Exactly the combo I wanted.

They don't put the lyrics on a screen, do they?

>644 They don't even have a screen.

Come to think of it, it's been ages since they had a live camera(´；ω；｀) It was nice when I had a seat toward the back...

>641 Aside from the rumors, there really hasn't been any magazine coverage this time, has there? Before, whenever they released a single or album, they'd get at least a one-page feature...

>647 Isn't this the first time they've had absolutely no promotion? Even the staff blog always remembered to do the promotional stuffｗ It gives me a bad feeling...

Isn't there any cheerful news?

Thirteen years.

I'm planning to go on the 30th. Would it look weird if I used the yellow Lonely Light from the previous show?

>629 Even I don't buy singles, and I go to the shows... >643 I got so hyped my brain was leakingｗ They played live, which I'd always wanted to hear at a show, and the transition from Lonely Night to P.S GIRL was insane. Someone mentioned that this album works well as background music. It's true: it doesn't get in the way of working, and having the melodies—or whatever you call it, the music—flowing in the background feels good. It doesn't pull you in too much either, so it's just right. It's a little disappointing that there isn't a song that completely absorbs you, though.

>651 They aren't all one uniform color, so it probably won't look weird. Besides, most people point the colored side toward the stage, so from the audience you'll mostly see the white backｗ

>647 I think there was an ad on the full-page spread right inside the cover of the magazine CD Data. There wasn't an interview or anything, though.

>654 They put an ad in that prime spot? And maybe they spent all their advertising money on the Conan commercial...

>641... You need to be mentally prepared. It's like when I got hooked on some obscure Western band years ago. Like a woman waiting at the harbor. You never know whether they'll come back in a few years or ten years. It was mentally brutal. It's best to avoid the fundamentalist “X is everything” type. If Hiroko Taniyama had gotten married at her peak, that would've been rough too. The rule is to go whenever you have the chance. I have a contingency plan for Gane: use a Minako Honda film concert as the trigger. If there were marriage news about Kimiko Koyama, I'd use poison against poison—or numb myself with something even more painful—to spread out the damage and get through it. I joined a religion that seemed pretty good before Minako died, so maybe that's why I'm still sane... Anyway, let's keep going no matter what happens. I'm the kind of person who'd have to quit my job when my parents die. How did Yukiko Okada's fans get through it? An earthquake isn't impossible either, so everyone who's mentally fragile, hang in there. No matter what happens, aim for the nearest mountain and keep walking briskly. Advice from an old person.

The seventeenth song changed from Eiyuu to Rainy Soul. I wonder if it'll change again. Personally, I want Kagami ni Mita Yume.

Happy 13th anniversary!

I don't know their recent songs, but is AZUKI Nana's English still as random as ever?

The intro to Umi wo Yuku Shishi sounds like the intro to Sen Ijou. The “yura-yurari” part of The Someone's Tale reminds me of another song with the same notes and lyrics like “oh yeah, oh yeah,” but I can't remember what it is.

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

I only noticed at the live show, but the “yei-yei-ya” part of Issho ni Kurasou and P.S GIRL is the same, isn't it?

Today is their 13th anniversary. Congrats!

The English lyrics are meaningless in some songs.

>660 Maybe Cold Sea.

Cold Sea is a Mai Kuraki song. GARNET's is Cold Shadow.

The A section of Maizy is almost identical to the A section of Namida no Yesterday.

WOWOW is broadcasting the Shishi PV for free. I bought the regular edition, so I haven't seen the full PV. Looking forward to it, at least.

What's Maizy?

Today, only people attending the show get a poster as a 13th-anniversary gift.

>666 Listen to it and you'll know.

I made it to the venue, and there's a counter handling same-day tickets. They say they're ¥7,000.

Well, it is a same-day ticket.

http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/201303/28/87/f0251687_0372056.jpg

...And?

Wait, who is that?ｗ

Isn't there a song similar to the “haru no〜” and “koi no〜” parts of the chorus in Kagami ni Mita Yume? It feels incredibly familiar, but I can't remember what it is...

Is >16 the wrong one?

>677 Could it be Blue Regret?

I finally bought Terminus! So glad it came with the photo book〜 trade is great! I don't mind when the melodies are similar to existing songs; it still sounds good.

I think their melody stash dried up a long time ago. Someone's Tale was good, though.

They've already passed 150 songs, after all.

How early should I line up at the merch booth before the show?

The Giants fans are gathering in huge numbers around the Dome!

>683 Today, even though there was a sign marking the front of the merch line, people didn't actually start lining up until about an hour and a half beforehand. Before that, everyone was milling around near the sign. I don't know how long the merch will last.

Everyone have fun. I had a great time last week.

They've already let people in through number 2100.

>687 Nice work. Have funー

Her voice is as unintelligible as ever. I can't tell what she's singing.

>688 Thanks. Looks like we get the posters on the way out. They've closed off the two blocks on the left and right of balconies 2 and 3, probably because you can't see anyone from there.

>690 I hear they'll open them tomorrow.

>182 Yesterday was their 100th song, right? I hope they keep working toward 200.

Which one is the cat?

Give us a report from the show.

I was so fanatical that I bought every single up through around their fourth album. But listening now, I wonder what was ever so good about this band. I still have all the CDs, though.

>665 Thanks!

>685 Thanks a lot. I'm going tomorrow.

I wonder how much a signed poster would sell for.

Does anyone know what time merch sales start tomorrow?

Why don't you look up something this easy yourself... 2:00–4:30 p.m.

No report yet. Is it not over?

It's over. Tokyo really does run long.

>701 They played Rocket. And rainy soul.

That was long. Did anything happen for the 13th anniversary?

Did they play for three hours?

Are they still not filming the DVD this time?

They did Rainy Soul, so I guess it was the same as day two in Osaka. Furui-san has officially changed his name to “Narcissy”ｗ Mochi is more of a Kumamon fan than a Yurikkuma fan. It lasted two hours and 43 minutes, so people from out of town, watch your schedules.

>704 Come to think of it, there was no 13th-anniversary bit.

>706 There wasn't a camera crew in the venue.

The “motivation switch” bit had me dyingｗ

>709 Then maybe tomorrow.

What song did Rocket replace?

>712 They didn't play Over Drive or Eiyuu.

Thanks.

There really was no “See you again.” At the end, she only said “Thank you.”

I thought it was because the lyrics of Hallelujah at the end say they'll meet again.

Will the lights sell out this time too? Will getting in line an hour beforehand be early enough? How many people do they let in at a time? Does everyone end up running? I want to use the lockers inside, so I wonder how many people will pass me while I'm doing that...

This thread grows insanely fast.

>717 There are plenty of lockers outside too.

I'm exhausted... Completely burned out.

>719 I heard the outdoor lockers were full because the baseball game started. Is that not true? Also, I want to put my coat in there, but I'm worried I'll be cold if I put it away first. I hear tomorrow's supposed to be a little chilly.

>717 The best plan is: buy your stuff beforehand → put your bags in an outdoor locker → then go in. Your stuff won't get stepped on, and you'll be able to wave your arms without holding back. Futari no Rocket uses both hands.

I just got home tooｗｗｗ Did it end at 9:15??? I wandered around the merch area and lost track of timeｗｗｗ During the signed-card raffle, I stared at other people's losing ticketsｗｗｗ At first the ticket counter scared me by saying the same-day-ticket arena would be packed, but the back was totally emptyｗｗｗ I was in the balcony and my eyesight is bad, so I couldn't see the members' faces very wellｗｗｗ As for the show, wasn't the first half better? Yuri-san is great at balladsｗｗ

>722 The reason I want to use the lockers inside is what 721 said. What does “uses both hands” mean, though? A two-handed wiper motion??

>724 Oh, I see. Sorry. For what it's worth, in situations like that I usually just tough out the cold. >Futari no Rocket After “When I woke up today, I had a flashー,” matching the movements of Mochi and the old guy is quietly fun.

>724 In Futari no Rocket, after “...I'll fly through the sky...,” you wave both hands back and forth. I was waving them desperately just nowｗ Yuri-san waved back in response tooｗｗｗ

When you watch Yuri-san and Nana-san on YouTube, they've obviously aged, but in person it's not like that at allｗ I hear they're both in their thirties... They looked totally different from their videosｗｗｗ

Yurippe's Auld Lang Syne was great.

They played OVER DRIVE in Osakaｗｗｗｗ Not in Tokyoｗｗｗ And they played fewer songs too?ｗｗｗ I guess they're biased toward Osakaｗｗｗ They went all-in on the Kansai dialect when they talkedｗｗｗ

Yurippe wore light makeup today. Her cheeks were brown in Osaka, but today she was practically barefaced. Yurippe really is the best!

>729 They only did OVER DRIVE and Eiyuu on the first dayー

>729 They'll probably do them tomorrow as a replacement for Futari no Rocket.

They're not playing Spiral?

Furui-san also said during the cherry-blossom talk that he didn't feel like drinking under the cherry trees. ... I thought, “So there are people like that too.”ｗ

I'm happy that Yurippe stayed up watching WBC baseball even later than Okamochi.

>730 Exactly. She must be reading this threadｗ

As someone who went today, I'll secretly share a hidden coin locker spot. Inside the automatic doors immediately to the left of MagiQuest.

>728 I mean, that was the real main eventｗ

Mochi is the best. Please, release a cover album. Nana completely blew me away. I bought the bootleg at the venue, but there wasn't even a booklet or anything, so I was momentarily thrownｗ Ah, I wish I could've gone on the 30th too. Everyone going, have funー

The guy who kept shouting “Nana-san, salute!” during the encore was way too rude. Nana just gave an awkward smile.

>740 Ah, I know. One of the Nana-kai people.

I have a business dinner for work on the 30th, but I'm getting this powerful urge to ditch it, buy a same-day ticket, and go to the show. That's how good the show was.

Was there an announcement from the members before the show?

>743 Nope.

>744 Oh, I see. Thanks.

>740 They kept letting friends who arrived later squeeze in around them. No common sense.

>740 Someone near me warned him quietly, “You're getting annoying.” But since he didn't hear it, I don't think it really counts as a warning.

Yurippe's Anmira outfit was cute. Cute, but flat-ch...(ry

>747 Nana did salute when she was leaving, though.

They might as well announce the breakup today. The end of the fiscal year is a nice clean cutoff. It's a miracle a band with sales like that lasted 13 years. Aiuchi and Saegusa, whose track records were no better, got cut ages ago. There's no reason these guys should be the only ones left.

【NTV】Friday RoadSHOW! on April 19 will televise the first broadcast of “Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker”! http://www.ntv.co.jp/kinro/lineup/20130419/index.html

What do you call this dance? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFMvqnUoiSo

I'll keep working hard today for Ms. Yuri.

Yesterday I had a number in the 2000s and thought I wouldn't be able to see the members at all. But there were only around 550 fan-club tickets, so I got in around number 600, and there was still room near the front. I was glad I could see their faces. The best part of today's talk was Yurippe's cat “meow-meow” pose while they were discussing Nostalgia on the album. It was ridiculously cute. We have Okamocchi to thank for choosing Nostalgia too. Yesterday's talk was even longer than in Osaka, and Furui-san was hilarious. Yurippe genuinely laughing herself silly at him was great too. The heckling was obviously louder in Tokyo. Maybe because those people were near me? Compared to the first half, I got way fewer looks from Yurippe, which was a bummer. Today I have a fan-club ticket but I'm in the second balcony, so I'll enjoy it from the back.

It's finally here. I'm excited. They started lining up for merch about an hour and a half before the show yesterday, right? I can't get out that early. What if it sells out...

Everyone going to today's show, have fun. If there's any major announcement, please report itｗ >729 I was happy because I never expected them to play OVER DRIVE.

I'm a Yurikkuma person rather than a Kumamon person too〜

>755 Same here. Let's enjoy the tour finale!

Yesterday I thought the 13th-anniversary paper ball was descending from above, but it was just a mirror ballｗ At the Osaka show it was hanging over the audience.

>757 Is Yurikkuma basically a knockoff? Is the copyright situation okay? (^^;; Yesterday: Yurippe: “Narcissy, what's your favorite flower?” Narcissy: “Lilies.” I wish that had been the exchange.

Same-day ticket sales confirmed!

I had no idea what the “switch on her back” thing in the MC meant. Nana sprinted around in her T-shirt, bouncing all over the place. Yurippe couldn't run... It was so sad. Yurippe's vocals were the best they've been in years. Okamocchi's acoustic guitar was way too cool. In a sense, even more essential than Professor Ikeda's string section!!! I'm glad they didn't play Spiral. If they had, and then done a double encore... That's all.

>762 Spiral would blow away all the afterglow through sheer exhaustionｗ

GARNET CROW will live on forever in everyone's hearts.

>752 Section Chief Nekota.

The merch area is relatively empty right now. They still have Lonely Lightsー

Yurippe will be on soon.

Looks like the rain might hold off after all.

>595 Thanks to you, my wallet is lighterｗ Tokyo is too farｗ I'm happy to get a poster, but they handled it so carelessly that it got wrinkled and killed my mood.

>699 It's my first live show, so I'm nervous, but I'm going to have fun.

>772 Have fun with the choreographyー

>767 Nice work. Are they playing Eiyuu today?

There are two keyboardists, and the vocalist doesn't write the lyrics—the keyboardist writes every song. You'd think they were trying to act like artists, but then they sometimes do idol-like things too. Most of the songs are about love, but they also mix in some weirdly philosophical ones. What a completely impossible-to-pin-down band.

There was a hardcore guy who claimed he'd attended every show on the tour.

It'd be insane if he'd gone to all the Pan Kojo shows too.

>777 That guy must've quit his jobｗ

Nana-san's fingerwork is excellent.

Did they announce it?

GC.

The piano was great this time.

Is it over~~?

They say they're breaking up*....

The breakup announcement is here aaaaa

I got gout.

Seriously....(>_<)

I thought something was weird about Okamocchi's talk...

Huh...? It's on the official site too. What were the members like?

The breaking-news thread is fast. http://hayabusa3.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/news/1364642528/

Apparently they're breaking up after the final shows in Tokyo and Osaka... They've given everything they had as GARNET CROW.

I agonized over it for nothing. I should've just gone this time too.

Yurippe (35) wants to switch careers and become an enka singer.

So Nana's boobs were fan service... Oh, and you could see Yurippe's miniskirt clearly through her outfit. Nobody else mentioned it, so I figured I would.

Seriously... I have no words.

It's sad, but thanks for letting me dream a beautiful dream. You all worked so hard.

Please understand. ------------- What the hell—everyone in the fan club has already been notified and reservations are overーーーーーーーーーー

They must've reached their limit... I wonder when they decided.

This is the biggest shock since ZARD. What the hell. They could appear on Kōhaku. Okamocchi had just grown into a guitarist who surpassed Ohga-san, too. Maybe Mini-Cro will form a bandー

Sorry, actually, it's my childーーーー

I can't accept the breakup. One of the things that gave my life meaning is gone.

I came running when I heard they were breaking up. I used to love them. “call my name,” “Sen Ijou no Kotoba wo Narabete mo...,” “Kyou no Kimi to Ashita wo Matsu,” “Koisuru Koto Shika Dekinai Mitai ni,” “Ameagari no Blue,” and so on. I hope they do something after the breakup, whatever it may be.

I can't believe it. I never thought the words GARNET CROW and breakup would appear together...

What am I supposed to listen to now, and how am I supposed to live?

Waaaaahhhh( ┰_┰)

Come on, make one more original albumー You could do it in two months.

Why? No, I don't want this. I just want to die now...

That rolled-up package they handed out at the exit yesterday— I opened it and was shocked. So that's what it was... Yurippe's light makeup made her look like a completely different person.

I want them to release demo songs or something, even if it's independently. If this really is the end, at least give us that.

>795 Please upload that picture.

I used to be in the fan club. This is sad. I want to look forward to what comes next.

I don't want to believe it...

>809 Please upload it.

You guys... nice work...

Seriously? I'm so glad I got to go to this show. ID:vDfig/zs0, thank you so much.

I came running when I heard about the breakup. The fact that their future activities are undecided is the one small consolation. I want Yurippe to keep singing, and I want to hear her sing in Conan again.

I knew a day like this would come eventually, but I still can't accept the breakup.

The breakup is sad, but I guess we have no choice but to accept it. Still, releasing another singles best when they've only added four singles since the last one... It'd be fine if it came with a DVD of every music video, though.

Were there cameras at today's show?

>811 It's on the official site. Bow down and pray. http://garnetcrow.com/news/live.html ★ 13th-anniversary debut celebration: “GARNET CROW Reissued Poster” giveaway!! ★

Please release a best-of containing every song that wasn't included on an album.

They only released a full-volume BEST in February 2010, and now they're doing another BESTｗ Even fans won't buy it unless they include every PV and a live DVD or something.

>823 Do you really think it's aimed at the fans in the first place?

Please make a fan-voted best-of CD too. One vote for Okamocchi's “last love song.” Still, I only started following them after coming through Izumi Sakai...

>824 Who is it aimed at, then?

Hey... Please tell me this is a lie aaaaaaaa! I was shocked when Ms. Sakai died too, but this is seriously brutal...

This is the worst.

So the “cry wolf” breakup rumors really came true this time. This hurts. Do fan-club members have to worry about losing the lottery for the final show too?

Best-of + B-sides best-of. I've already bought all that, so there's no reason for me to buy it again...

I just saw it... All I can say is what a shame. I don't think I'll recover for a while.

So that's why they saved Spiral...

Mini-Cro will become Cherish and aim to appear on Kōhaku.

I bet Yurippe and Nana are being flooded with marriage proposals through the official site right now. No wayｗｗ

>821 Oh, sorry—can you upload a picture of Yurippe's see-through skirt? There obviously isn't one! By the way, it was super short. Her bare legs were beautiful—so slim.

>811 Oh, 811. Sorry—can you upload a picture of Yurippe's see-through skirt?

I got it, I know there isn't oneｗ

I only became a fan last year and collected every CD + DVD. This is the first time I've experienced what it feels like to have a huge hole open up in my heart.

So, did the cameras not ovulate? If it was a recording day, they'd also have to tear down the stage, so it probably wasn't possible.

Hey, April Fools' Day is still two days away.

My brother told me about the breakup. I used to listen to them a lot, so this is a real shame.

>798 > So everyone in the fan club has already been notified and reservations are overーーーーーーーーーー The “important announcement” email scheduled for 9:00 p.m. today only just arrived.

No way aaaaaaaaaa

>839 They filmed it today.

People who had finally graduated from being NEETs and nursery school were there too(T_T) So the album and Mochi's songs really did have that meaning... >820 There were cameras. They were also filming the audience at the venue exit.

Acts that can't sell are going to break up sooner or later. Once a group falls to indie status, it's rare for them to keep working as artists. You Being otaku are so damn noisy that they were forced to announce the breakup. How does it feel to have a breakup announced explicitly like this? Don't you think it would've been better if they just disappeared without ever clearing things up? I've never understood fans who insist that a group report its breakup or hiatus.

GIZA is finished tooｗ

>846 They were one of the few bands in Being that actually earned enough to support themselves.

“The four members will each go their separate ways from here on.”

Of course it's better for them to announce it properly.

Will the final show's setlist focus on the best-of album? I guess they'll close with Yume Mita Ato de.

I want them to re-record the songs.

I want the best-of to include a premium disc with the previously unreleased B-sides.

>821 Yurippe's miniskirt isn't in the picture(・ω・)ノ

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIZA_studio Hiromi Haneda — activities suspended. A parasite living off ZARD... So this is what she turned into. I thought she was a real pianist.

>854 Sorry, you wouldn't have been able to see it from the arena seats. It's burned into my mind. If I upload it, I'll get arrested, so no way.

Ohno is on hiatus too. GIZA is really done for.

The fathers of Shintaro Tokiwa and Takuya Ohashi from Sukima Switch are members of organized crime who have served prison time. Sukima's management agency pays adviser Akio Sasaki (a former secretary to ex-prime minister Toshiki Kaifu) under the name of advisory fees, and that money is supposedly routed to the victims of the fathers. Hopefully the money really does reach the victims...

I hope Yurippe comes back after she's finished giving birth and raising her childー Even Mini-Cro would be fine.

The Furui and AZUKI sections of this pamphlet were throwing up some pretty obvious flags, so when this happened I thought, “Ah, so that's what it was.” I had noticed that AZUKI's eyes looked unusually watery too. Everyone worked so hard. Good job. I'm glad I went to today's show. Let's just think of having a breakup show at all as something to be grateful for.

If we're talking about the Conan-linked acts: ZARD → vocalist died Miho Komatsu → effectively on hiatus DEEN → changed labels Rina Aiuchi → hiatus Yuka Saegusa → hiatus Aya Uehara → changed labels Azumi Uehara → kicked out of her agency, then became an adult-video actress Naifu → broke up after a short time GARNET CROW → breakup

They never had much media exposure to begin with, and the stagnation in the music industry right now is abnormal. I hope they keep doing their best somewhere outside the entertainment industry.

Aika Ohno (currently on hiatus). So that's what the official site says. She's a real talent who wrote a ton of songs for early Mai Kuraki and late-period ZARD. Kakegae no Nai Mono was my favorite. Well, she can probably live off royalties. Her blog is interesting. http://www.aika-ohno.com/top.html

I spent quite a lot of money on this band. Goodbye, my youth...

> Aya Uehara → kicked out of her agency, then became an adult-video actress Seriously?!

The breakup... Congratulations, I guess. Anyway, I want to make a toast. Is beer better for this sort of thing, or a highball?

People are saying GIZA is finished, but that's wrong. GIZA couldn't make Gane profitable, so you could actually say getting rid of Gane was a relief. With the unnecessary expenses gone, they can invest that money in Egg. Egg sells less than Gane, but at least there's a chance they could blow up in the future. Gane's fireworks are over, and all that's left is the descent. You can't measure that purely by simple sales comparisons.

>866 I recommend tongba and hydrofluoric acid.

Having the breakup announced at my first Gane show is pretty painful, but I'll do my best to go to the final show. But I'm a student, so I have no money... The gap is way too short!

I kind of suspected it from the album title and the name of the last song.

>867 ？？？ Wouldn't something that's already selling decently be more important than something you don't even know will sell?

Serves you right aaaaaaaaaa It's because you kept making nothing but shitty songs, idiotsｗｗｗｗｗ

I was a fan for about the first three years of their 13-year run and bought the CDs. For the last three years or so, I've only used YouTube. Sorry.

I wanted them to keep going quietly for a long time. This is lonely.

It's an era where you can't survive by just going steady for a long time anymore.

The fan club runs through October? Why? Furui-san and Mochi look like they'll have work, but what are Yuri and Nana going to do now?

I still want to see more of Nana... I want all of them to step out from behind the scenes and appear in public.

>871 That way of thinking is what's killing the industry. Unless you invest in things you don't know will sell, the industry won't stay vibrant. Once it starts trying to die alongside its past achievements, that industry is finished.

Wikipedia had already been updated at midnight.

GIZA is planning to dismantle itself. Why don't Yurippe and Nana form a duo and debut somewhere else?

Akane-maru........

The shock is too much...(/ _ ;) At the end I was just sitting there in a daze, unable to clap. At least my low queue number let me see them up close. I wonder if I can get a ticket for the final show.

SA・YO・NA・RA

>880 Probably not. The vocalist was never really at a professional-singer level to begin with, and is the keyboardist even actually playing? They're the kind of people who only got a chance because GIZA took the business lightly after Mai Kuraki sold so easily.

Tell me some recommended songs. I want to listen to them now that they're breaking up.

When the show ended and the lights came up on the members, I thought, “Ah, they're really breaking up.”

It's on Yahoo News too.

>862 That's the one bright spot. The four of them have always made up for each other's shortcomings behind the scenes as creators, and there's no doubt people will still need their abilities going forward. Maybe we'll hear works they provide to other artists, or see them at live shows...

>885 Someday, we'll meet again.

>886 The moment it was just the four of them, I knew. It gave me this weird chill.

I used to hate AZUKI Nana. Is she going to live off her royalties now?

Physical disc media is nearing its end, and GIZA doesn't seem good at download sales, so maybe this was actually the right time. >878 It feels like the entire industry is trying to die together.

What's going on? Did the anti-fans crawl out because it made the news?

I want to hear Yurippe sing again. I want Nana's lyrics to move me again. Are those two never going to work together again?

At the end of the album booklet, there's that scene of each member walking away with a big bag... Looking back, I guess that was what it meant...

When I heard Mochi sing Wasurezaki, I thought, “If only Ms. Yuri had a little more vocal ability...”

>891 Don't you dare, you piece of garbage. Nana was my favorite person in the entertainment world. Go die.

I used to love Mysterious Eyes... Good work, everyone.

>896 Mochi worked hard on his vocal training. It's such a waste to have him only play boring interlude guitar parts in Gane when he's got that much talent.

It's shocking that Gane was forced to break up despite sales like that. I was shocked when Aiuchi was fired a few years ago too... At this rate, Mai Kuraki's continued existence is starting to look precarious too. Is Kuraki next on the chopping block?

So the album title Terminus had a deeper meaning than we thought...

I really should've gone to the show today...

At least give us one final single...

The third album was their peak, and the decline started showing by the fifth. LOCKS had me going, “Huh?”

I thought it was just the usual breakup joke again, but it's actually real. I thought we'd keep getting more and more songs like the ones on Terminus. This is such a shame.

>892 That's why cutting the unprofitable Gane instead of going down with it was the smart choice. GIZA was saved.

>896 I loved Yurippe's voice and the way she sang. I liked that she didn't use vibrato. I'm glad it wasn't an enka-style delivery.

>900 > “Forced to break up” 　Wasn't it a voluntary breakup? > “Aiuchi was fired” 　“Fired” is a pretty ugly way to put it. She retired because of illness, didn't she?

>900 Aiuchi was sick, I think.

Makes no sense.

Why not just go on indefinite hiatus? If they break up, it feels like it's over forever.

I really loved STAY. The live-house tour was so much fun. Please come back someday, even if it's only for one day.

>901 People suspected it during Memories too. If the earthquake hadn't happened, maybe they were planning to break up at the end of 2011...

>907 She sings normally on JUDY and Sora ni Hanabi, though.

>900 Gane and Aiuchi both had sales low enough to deserve being fired. >908–909 You'd have to be pretty gullible to swallow those tired old pretty words as-is. The internet industry, which claims “exposing the truth” as its noble mission, is crying.

I kind of wish they'd done Budokan at least once.

Did they schedule the show on their debut anniversary because they were breaking up? Did Ms. Yuri cry?

Aiuchi is doing fine now, working with pets and posting on Ameba.

Still, what are they going to do after the breakup?

After the final song, when the members gathered at the center of the stage, vocalist Yuri Nakamura suddenly announced that their 13 years of activity would come to an end and that the band was breaking up. The venue was briefly thrown into an uproar by the cries and shouts of roughly 3,000 fans. http://www.47news.jp/topics/entertainment/oricon/culture/125363.html

She wasn't crying when she made the announcement. Mocchi looked pretty devastated, though.

>917 According to reports, they wrapped things up on a cheerful note.

At the final show, they'll play: Eien ni Houre, Yuudachi no Niwa, Sayonara to Tatta Hitokoto de, and Yume Mita Ato de.

Furui-san and Okamoto-san will probably stay with Being as studio musicians, composers, and arrangers. I wonder what the two women will do.

I was wondering why Conan hadn't been using their songs lately. So that's what it was...

>920 Well, with only around 3,000 people showing up, I guess a breakup makes sense.

I doubt they have enough savings to live comfortably.

Whoa, they really are breaking up... I'm shocked...

We won't be able to see Yurippe and Nana anymore...

>924 Maybe Yurippe will do backing vocals or provide lyrics? Nana might tour with various artists as a keyboardist.

After the encore ended, vocalist Yuri Nakamura (35) suddenly said, “We will break up after our upcoming shows in Tokyo and Osaka.” The sold-out venue of 3,000 people erupted in shock. She continued, “Right now I'm filled with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment,” and fans began bursting into tears one after another. According to people involved, the idea of breaking up first came up last fall while they were making the album Terminus (currently on sale). They concluded that they had “done everything they could as a group,” bringing 13 years of activity since their 2000 debut to an end. The breakup concert will be held on June 9 at Grand Cube Osaka. Their individual activities afterward have not yet been decided. http://netallica.yahoo.co.jp/news/20130330-00000056-dal

Are they not putting any new songs on the best-of? I was prepared for this, but it still hurts.

Is Nana the only one retiring?

>930 Yuri is the composer, though.

>927 She has more money than you, so don't worry. Azuki was born into a wealthy family in the first place.

I want Yurippe and Nana to debut as an idol unit and do bubbly idol activities.

Maybe she did it intentionally, but Yurippe announced it so casually. It was so matter-of-fact that I couldn't understand what she was saying at first. Okamocchi looked like he was having a really hard time. Nana was unusually energetic with her moves, despite that not being like her at all. Then she messed up the playing. I couldn't see Furui-san at all from where I was.

>931 Hmm. That breakup explanation sounds made up.

I've been distant from them for several years, but hearing they're breaking up still makes me sad. I even quit the fan club and stopped listening to their songs entirely, but I really did love them. They're really going away... Gane is really going away. I see. I don't know if “good work” is the right thing to say, but thank you for everything. Truly. I love Yurippe, Nana, Okamocchi, and the old man too.

>934 Ah, I got that wrong.

I got a little bit wrong yesterday too.

I've been supporting them ever since their first single, but this is really sad.

>938 No, that part personally feels right to me. Hate to put it this way, but considering how many tracks their recent albums have had, it feels like they've run out of material...

>933 Don't retire. Come out every now and then, Nana-saaaan.

With Being these days, the basic pattern is that the singer writes their own lyrics, so there's almost no demand for AZUKI-san. Composing is also mostly done by the singers themselves, or by Ohno-san and newcomers from the creator school. It's hard to imagine Nakamura-san, who had hardly provided songs until now, suddenly being used frequently. Personally, I get the feeling that Nakamura-san and AZUKI-san might retire.

There's a thread over on News Sokuhō too.

>943 The number of songs? Not the quality? Besides, the group itself was formed for a manufactured reason in the first place, you know.

I want an album as a final keepsake, but at this point there aren't any songs I particularly want to hear. Still, I'm sure I'll buy it anyway.

>935 I'm not worried about her. I just wanted her gone from the industry. ○○'s mistress.

>932 Put the unreleased song “Happy Ending” at the end of the best-of album.

Yurippe is already 35ｗ That shocks me too. It does mean they've been doing this for that long, though.

>931 So they decided to break up in the fall, huh.

They're breaking up...・゜・(つД｀)・゜・

There isn't a cuter auntie than Nana-sama. 　Please keep going, even if it's only lyric writing and modeling—.

>947 They formed with members gathered for Kuraki's debut, right?

I came flying when I heard they were breaking up. I only know the early Conan songs, but 夢みたあとで and 夏の幻, which I listened to in elementary school, are still songs full of memories for me.

>956 THE TWILIGHT VALLEY I’m waiting 4 you Give those a listen too... they're really good...

Yurippe, I wish you'd leave Being and work on your own.

I love the 3rd and 4th albums so much that I still listen to them even now.

Age-wise, sure, but I often thought Yurippe's voice wasn't coming out at recent lives, so I kind of saw this coming.

I learned about them from a song in a Tales game I bought a long time ago.

I just remembered Nana saying something about a matchmaking date on some TV show. Was it the one with Hokuyo?

Yeah, even if it's just one song, I wish they'd include an unreleased track. Also, release a disc compiling miniqro and cool city production? I can't get physical copies of miqro No,1 or cool city.

>937 Okamocchi was obviously rattled. His talking was all broken up, and he flubbed the opening of Kono Te wo Nobaseba.

THE　LAST　SONG http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRAOU5nN3fg

Let's talk about something realistic. Someone make the next thread, please.

Someone >931 Nobody's denying the 35, huhｗｗｗ It's not in the source though.

With just one word—“goodbye”—you stole my freedom and walked away.

http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/mnewsplus/1364645945/

I mean, she's older than 35, isn't she?

Nana probably won't ever appear in the media again from now on.

>966 Let's make the topic recommended artists to listen to after Gane is gone.

>970 Yeah, that's probably right.

>967 I thought it was weird, since her age was supposed to be undisclosed. >931, you bastardｗｗｗｗｗｗ

We'll cover their songs like crazy with Vocaloid, spread the word, and bring them back.

>971 No way!!

I wouldn't be happy even if you did thatｗ

Nana and Yurippe were two years apart, right? Nana should be turning 40 this year, I think. So, am I allowed to try making a new thread or not? Is >950 not here?

〃〃∩ 　_, ,_ 　　　　　⊂⌒（　`Д´）　＜　ヤダヤダ！ 　　　　　　 ｀ヽ_つ ⊂ノ 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ジタバタ

I'm too shocked to feel like doing anything. I went to the Osaka live, though. I wonder what the members were feeling at the time...

By the way, before “Kono Te wo ~” started, Nana left the stage. Did something happen?

>978 Nana 13 years ago looked a little like Izumi Sakai.

Precisely because it's ending... It's so dear...

Whoa...... I come back here for the first time in ages and they're breaking up...... Being able to see the 10th anniversary live from the center of the very front row at Tokyo International Forum Hall A is my fondest memory of all. If possible, please keep going as a solo artist. Thank you for everything.

Seriously? 180 Name: 名無しさん＠恐縮です[sage] Posted: 2013/03/30(土) 22:31:22.06 ID:Gan5iuVu0 [1/2] The now-defunct magazine “Uwasa no Shinsou” once wrote that the female members of GARNET CROW were mistresses of Daikou Nagato, Being's founder. I wonder which one was his mistress, Nakamura or AZUKI?

Don't let yourselves get fooled! Today is April 1st!!! No... please, tell me it's a lie・ﾟ・(つД｀)・ﾟ・ ｳﾜｧｧｧﾝ

Yurippe Didn't you get invited to be the vocalist for Sensation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdxbZiK5NOc

Came here from News Sokuhō. I've been away since LOCKS, but I used to listen to them a lot, so this is a little lonely.

I'm a former fan, but I'm still shocked. My youth was completely filled with GARNET. I wonder if Yurippe and Mochi will go solo. What will happen, I wonder?

They had so many wonderful lyrics and songs, yet they never became that famous. I only learned about them recently, but their old footage is really good. Absolutely amazing.

When STAY was released, Yahoo posted her age, but then deleted it right away, didn't they?

Came here from Yahoo・・・・ They're the ones who sang the Conan songs, right・・・ I loved “Futari no Rocket” and “Bokura dake no Mirai”・・・・・・ Even if I lined up more than a thousand words, I still couldn't say it all・・・・・・・・・・・・

I learned about Gane through “flying,” and the first album I bought was “Spiral.” I have more than ten years of memories with them. I guess sales were tough after all... It's a shame, when they had nothing but amazing songs...

I think everything from the 3rd through the 6th albums is a perfect classic. I love every song.

What are we doing about the next thread?

I'm going to post a live report without reading the flow of the thread. ・This was my first show in three years, since the International Forum one. ・Right from the opening, Yurippe's voice was going high and something felt off. ・Furui-san: “I like the lyrics to ‘closer’ on the new album.” Nana-sama: “Huh, do you mean you like me?” ・Mochi kept stumbling over his MC, then covered “Kono Te wo Nobaseba.” ・Yurippe asked, “What did you graduate from this spring?” and the audience shouted things like “university,” “high school,” “NEET,” and “nursery school,” getting the whole venue fired up. 　But the girl behind me desperately shouting “vocational school!” couldn't get her voice through to Yurippe. ・During “Issho ni Kurasou,” Nana-sama put her hands on her hips and wiggled around, which was sexy as hell. 　Then at the encore, her boobs and armpits were completely on display, which was even sexier. ・And then........ I finally realize now that everything was groundwork for the breakup announcement.

I'll go make one.

I think Nakamura is going to switch agencies. I figure she ditched Gane for that.
