【To everyone who always supports GARNET CROW】 2013.3.30 Thank you very much for always supporting GARNET CROW. We have an important announcement to make to everyone. GARNET CROW will disband following “GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜,” held at Tokyo International Forum Hall A on Friday, May 24, 2013, and at Osaka International Convention Center Grand Cube Osaka Main Hall on Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9. Thank you very much for supporting GARNET CROW throughout the 13 long years since our debut on March 29, 2000. From here on, the four members will each walk a different path. We humbly ask for your support and encouragement right through the end, just as before. GARNET CROW All staff ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ We will disband after “GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜,” held in May and June 2013. Since forming in 1999, thanks to all your support, we have been able to pursue such a fulfilling musical career. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We want to give it everything we've got and sprint through the time we have left. We look forward to seeing everyone at “GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜.” We'll be waiting for you on the greatest stage!

>1 Mai乙y

Ninna-ji was a success, Symphonic was a failure.

>1 A乙uki7

>1, thanks. I wonder if I should apply for the final day even now… I can't decide. Apparently HY's contract ended and their FC dissolved too. The music industry is really in turmoil.

Will it be too hot to wear a tuxedo on the final day?

Does Azuki-san really have a child?

※This thread is only for people who agree to do call-and-response during “Yume mita ato de” at the final live.

>10 That's the story we're going with hereｗ

Is everyone registering under their real names on Musing? If I can pay at a convenience store and pick up the ticket there (?), I'm thinking maybe I don't need to use my real name.

It never occurred to me that I could use a fake name.

You can't pick it up at a convenience store, can you?

>15 Thanks. So using your real name is mandatory.

I want to smell Yuri-san's panties.

>11 Of course I agree.

>18 Let's all do call-and-response!!

“No matter what future lies ahead♪” 　ィヨォーーーー!!

Yuri: “This passion that has lost its place~” (Hohhyeee!!) Yuri: “Tch.” Yuri: “…is going cold~”

I'd be happy if they closed with “Lonely Night.”

Yurippe is scary… There are still students here, huh. Looks like another spicy character came back in the previous thread too. The haters are pretty energetic.

I wonder what kind of merch they'll have for the final live~ Tokyo is already next month… Time flies…

This band is nothing but songs yutori kids would listen to, huh. Even the rhythms feel kind of childish—everything sounds like an anime song. Not that you guys wouldn't gratefully listen to anythingｗ (lol) Your ears are probably used to flimsy music by now. Hahahaha. Apparently they have a lot more male fans than female fans… but I bet they're only after the girls' bodies… It's nothing but blind fans repeating “god-tier song, god-tier song”…

With the breakup announcement, and the fact that the live in two months will be the last one, I'd like to start a project. The idea is to have everyone write messages for them. We'd write one large character from “Thank you, GARNET CROW” on each of several big white cloths, put everyone's messages around them, connect all the cloths, and then unfold the whole thing together on the final day so the GARNET members can see it. We'd unfold it during the GARNET call, which should have the least impact on the show's progress. Before the show, I'll explain the project to every other audience member in the relevant area, one by one, and only do it if everyone agrees. If it causes a problem, I'll take full responsibility as the project organizer. We'll collect the messages on the day near the entrances of both the Tokyo and Osaka venues, somewhere that won't cause too much trouble. For people who can't come to the venue, I also want to deliver as many people's voices as possible, so I'll accept proxy messages too. If you'd like someone to write one for you, put your message after “proxy message requested.” It would also give me confidence if anyone could help with the preparations beforehand. (I'm not very confident in my handwritingｗ) I'll also put out calls in my personal Mixi diary and on Twitter, so I'd be happy if as many fans as possible could tell others about this project. On Twitter I'll use the hashtag #GCy企画. Sorry for the long post, and thank you in advance.

>25 Another nostalgic oneｗ

Nothing is impossible for GARNET CROW. The 21st-century world standard, even recognized by that Cowboy Kurose. GARNET CROW is the global standard for 21st-century music solutions! Come on, you too can become the darling of the age in Nana-sama's garden of lyrics! Here on 2ch, immature people who lack the skill to properly listen to Yuri's hymns tend to put down Okamochi while conveniently ignoring their own incompetence. But no matter how much the immature ones shout, GARNET CROW's value won't go down. If anything, it'll be the perfect chance to show the world the greatness of arrangement king Furui. I'll say it again. Nothing is impossible for GARNET CROW! If GARNET CROW has a limit, then that is the limit of human civilization.

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

“In the garden during that day's sudden shower, I realized something♪”

“I am an oni♪”

“If there was a beginning, then there must also be an end♪”

“Because I'm an oni♪”

“Going south tomorrow? NO! I've had two pieces of short rib plenty of times already♪”

“There are endings in this world that cannot be changed♪”

Waterfowl dancing on the ice The music of Aranjuez The passion of a dancing heart Proof that I lived

“What must not be done must not be done♪ Because I'm an oni♪”

Lately I've been thinking about what a light-music-club student Nakamura Yuri used to be.

Does this vocalist really compose every song?

Suspicious. This band feels like a project created to launch Azuki into the world. Azuki must have been the top priority. And since Azuki could only write lyrics (anyone could write poetry like that), they put her in charge of lyrics, while Nakamura became the composer.

“A-re~ How unreasonable.”

Am I the only one bringing maracas?

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

I want to hear “Flower” live.

>40 I might beat this guy into the ground…

Azuki was the top priority. They decided Azuki's position first, then brought in the other members and assigned their roles afterward. There are two keyboard players because Azuki's keyboard playing is mimed.

When they sing “Yume mita ato de,” don't forget the call-and-response p(^o^)q

I applied for the presale lottery.

>45 He's just a kid who can only say the same thing over and over. Leave him alone.

When will we find out whether we got tickets?

>49 Did he finally stop with the copypasta?ｗ Looks like he started showing up here after 9 p.m. tooｗ

I want them to release a CD collecting not just all the singles, but the B-sides and album tracks too.

Something like that might come out after the breakup. The first best-of was great because it included popular B-sides and album tracks along with the singles.

There has been a B-side collection, but there still hasn't been a fan poll for album tracks, right?

I regret that they didn't put “Kaze no Naka no Orgel” on “Terminus.” It's such a great song.

Tell me the songs they usually play live, please ＞＜ I'm thinking of going to the last one.

Yurippe's singing on “Terminus” sounds incredibly intense, so I feel like “Kaze no Naka no Orgel” wouldn't fit. It might suit an album like “Twilight Valley” better.

I like “Happy Swallow” better. Are the ticket results coming out today? Please let me win~

“Kaze no Naka no Orgel” made me wonder: could they release an orgel version~? Porno has released one and I love it—something like that.

>51 Azuki Nana really does play the piano. There are a fair number of wrong notes and such, and it's clearly preserved on video. It's sad that he went crazy from the shock of learning the truth about Sakai, but enough already. How many years has he been obsessing over this?

Being's shady business practices need to go under already. They're so socially clueless.

>56 “Eden,” “wish★” (the one with the choreography), and “Spiral.”

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

If you have any alternate arrangements you'd recommend, let me know.

I think the fan club ticket results still aren't out yet.

Basically, the single versions are better left as they are than the album versions, huh? “Namida no Yesterday” was already painfully lame, and then they made it start from the chorus, making it even lamer. “Natsu no Maboroshi” was good, though.

>64 I like these almost as much as the original arrangements: ・Futari no Rocket ~cool smooth ver.~ ・Natsu no Maboroshi ~secret arrange ver.~ ・Kaze to RAINBOW (TV Edit) ・Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete -silent poet ver.- ・Sora ni Hanabi ~orchestra session~ Pretty good too: ・Timeless Sleep ~Flow-ing surround mix~ ・Naked Story ~raze mix~ ・rai rai ya ~eternal blessing~ ・Over Drive ~theater version~ ・Yasashii Ame ~soushi-souai ver.~ Other than that, the originals are still the best. From Mini-Cro, I recommend “Koi no Aima ni.”

I think the arrangement of “sky” is pretty good too.

The 4th-album version of “sky” is better than the indie version. I wonder when the Musing result email is gonna arrive.

・Crystal Gauge -hitoshi okamoto remix- ・Rainy Soul -Closer Soul's Disco Remix- ・Yume mita Ato de -lightin' grooves True meaning of love mix- I like these too.

>60 158 ：COLT：03/04/12 17:50 ID:??? >156 > Is Azuki using one of those things that automatically plays the part once you program the song into it? Yeah, that theory has definitely come up in the GARNET thread before. I think it was during a school festival live show. Someone who actually went wrote something along the lines of, “I don't think she could play that phrase with one hand”... So maybe she does use one.

Nana's parts probably aren't all that difficult. It's at the level anyone who took piano lessons could play. “Mizu no Nai Hareta...” is the kind of song where the piano should stand out more, but it doesn't build up much at all. What a waste.

Has Yurippe ever played an instrument live?

>73 Keyboard, recorder, tambourine... surprisingly, quite a few things.

>24 Come to think of it, the newsletter said they were working on 10th-anniversary fan club merch. Was that just a fake plan? If there's a fan club closing event at the end, I feel like they'd release it there. Since they're breaking up, fewer people might buy it if the stuff isn't very appealing, lol. Anyway, if they do release it, it looks like it'll cost around 20,000 yen, lol. >69 Musig will probably be after 3 p.m., I guess~ I have the impression they usually send it in the evening.

I wonder if the application number is literally the order everyone applied in. If so, there's no way I'm getting picked...

Today is also the day for Kuraki's Musig results, huh. Apparently they sent Kuraki's out at noon. >76 Even if it's for three shows, that's still a crazy number, lol.

Wasn't the Musing result announcement today?

Didn't notice the update. So it is today after all. I'm getting nervous...

Let the winning notice come already.

>71 Azuki Nana isn't that good at piano, but she definitely does play it. When she played “Wasurezaki” at a live house, they did a huge close-up of her hands during the intro's showcase part. Her fingers got stuck and she hit a wrong note, so she had to do it over. I mean, if you listen, you can hear her mess up every now and then, right? They do close-ups of her hands in other live footage too, and her fingers line up with the notes. Did she practice syncing her fingers or something? No, if they line up, she can play it, lol. It's kind of sad for this band's fans to have some lunatic stalking them like this. Though this guy is also a famously pathetic loser in certain circles, so give him a break.

When are the FC results?

If there's one thing I'm confident about, it's that I didn't get picked. Even among FC applicants, it looks like not many people are gonna win.

They call it “Sekai wa Mawaru,” but could she re-record the vocals? It feels like she's putting a little too much force into her voice.

I feel like she started singing that way around the third album.

Even on the first live tour, her singing style—or rather, her voice—was different from the CDs. On the other hand, maybe she was forcing her voice back around albums 1 and 2? That's my favorite version of her voice, so I guess it is a shame.

When she sang “Sekai wa~,” she could only say something like “mawaryu~,” but when you listen to “Nostalgia,” she can clearly say “mawaru~,” right? I wonder what it would sound like if they re-recorded it.

Kuraki got picked, but nothing from Gane yet. The FC results aren't here either, so I can't relax.

Announce the tour merch already.

>82 They say the FC will contact us before general sales on the 27th? or 28th?, so I guess we'll know the results around the 20th?

>89 Don't get your hopes up, lol. It'll probably be the day before or the day of the show, won't it? Three days early at best, lol.

At this rate, it'll be GIZA quality right up to the very end, lol. The breakup announcement the other day came so quickly that it actually surprised me, though.

>92 There hasn't been any follow-up notice at all, lol. Classic GIZA quality. Hurry up and release the best album cover already.

Didn't get picked by Musing...

Thank you very much for applying for the ticket lottery sale for “GARNET CROW livescope ~THE FINAL~.” After a strict and fair drawing, we regret to inform you that you were not selected this time. We ask for your kind understanding.

The rejection cameーーー

I didn't get picked either (´・ω・｀)

I figured being FC and Tokyo meant I was safe, but now I'm starting to get worried...

Didn't get picked. The despair is unreal. Please let me get the FC ticketーーー

I didn't get picked!!

Sorry to say this when it's mostly people who didn't get picked here, but I got in ｷﾀ━━━━━━ﾟ+.(・∀・)ﾟ+.ﾟ━━━━━━━ !!!!!

I got in ｷﾀ

For those who got in, when and where?

I got in. Tokyo.

Didn't get the final show.

Got into Tokyo━(・∀・)━!!!!

Got into Tokyoーーーー

Only got into Tokyo!

Is everyone getting into Tokyo or what?

The email wasn't coming, so I checked the FAQ and it told me to log in. Then it said to check “Ticket Application History”... ...and there it was: “Selected”...... Yuri-ppe living overseas as a newlywed... Even if the story about her and some band guy being sluts were true, I'm still happy I got in. “Osaka opening night secured.” If I get the fan club ticket for the Osaka final, I'll be able to see two shows. I'm a little worried it might overlap with a regular work-schedule change, but Saturday is right after an overnight shift and it's pretty easy for me to take Sunday off. ...Even if my boss treats me like a pawn, I'm refusing during live-show hours.

No, I got the first Tokyo show...

Didn't get picked... Maybe I'll at least go buy merch.

Sorry about that...

>109 Did anyone get into the Osaka final? Of course I got rejected, lol.

>110 So even someone like that gets picked, huh... I mean, it is a lottery, so I guess that's only natural...

They should add another show. It's the last one, so they'd probably sell a ton of merch too.

>81 Hitting wrong notes is proof she can't play, isn't it? What are you talking about, lol.

I didn't even get Tokyo... I'm starting to worry...

The Tokyo show.

I got into Osaka opening night (･∀･) Now all I can do is hope I get the fan club ticket for the final show too. What if it ends up being my second choice, Osaka opening night...?

★ Collection of Shuu-chan's abusive remarks about GARNET CROW fan 1 ★ Twitter (his face is currently public! Must-see!) //twitter.com/SpidERSpins00 ・Retire already and drop dead. ・Hattori should just die. ・I wish she'd die, lol. ・Hattori is a demon disguised as a human, right? ・Hattori is the incarnation of a demon! ・Shitty old hag. ・If Hattori dies, will it make the tabloid shows or newspapers? She isn't famous, after all. ・This is the result of her betraying her fans for all these years. Nobody can trust Yumiko Hattori anymore. I never imagined she was this two-faced. A comeback is basically impossible. ・A nasty, third-rate singer with no reason to be alive, lol. Everyone's hated idol, lol. She got kicked out by her record company, is hated by fellow musicians like Izumi Kato, and her few fans have almost all turned against her, lol. ・Hattori is such a piece of trash. Her last live show was in a tiny venue that was empty as it was, the content was worse than an amateur's, but the ticket prices were first-class, lol. ・Hattori's face looks like she'd have a horrible personality, doesn't it? And in fact she really does, lol.

★ Collection of Shuu-chan's abusive remarks about Leaders 2 ★ Twitter (his face is currently public! Must-see!) //twitter.com/SpidERSpins00 ・I seriously hate this person. Nobody's sad that she's retiring, right? lol ・In 15 years, this person's total CD sales haven't even reached 5,000, have they? lol ・How can anyone marry someone like this? lol. Did the guy get completely fooled? ・There's only one thing I want to ask. When are you going to apologize to the fans you betrayed? ・Hattori, the universally hated one. ・Even after retiring, a hated singer is still a hated singer, huh? ・A disliked, hated person who's been active for over 15 years but still has almost no fans, lol. ・Did Hattori herself send a threatening message? ・Happy New Year. Let's all bash Hattori again this year! ・Hattori, still hated even after retiring. ・Hattori is seriously gross. ・Aoyama Thelma looks like crap, and her personality is crap too. ・Apparently Unconic-sensei died. How wonderful, o(^-^)o ・She used to be okay. Now she's a vulgar woman who doesn't bathe. ...and there's plenty more! The artists she has slandered include Yumiko Hattori, Hikaru Utada, Yumi Tanimura, Mayo Okamoto, Mariko Yoshida, Ai Kawashima, Aoyama Thelma, Ruriko Kubo, Nanase Aikawa, ICONIQ, Chitose Hajime, Fayray, and many others.

Got into Osaka opening nightー. This will be both my first and last GARNET CROW live.

The final show feels like it's almost completely filled by FC tickets.

★ About GARNET CROW fan Shuu-chan ★ Twitter (his face is currently public! Must-see!) //twitter.com/SpidERSpins00 September 2010〜 Shuu-chan became an anti-fan of Yumiko Hattori. The reason is unknown. Started slandering her in Hattori's 2ch thread. Shuu-chan showed his face in Hattori's mixi community and started harassing people with slander. Kept at it for three months. Shuu-chan tried to recruit regulars from Hattori's 2ch thread, where there were lots of anti-fans, to join in, but failed. Fled the Hattori mixi community. Shuu-chan was so persistent that his old Twitter and old Ameba blog were exposed on 2ch. Shuu-chan went berserk and posted nonstop for eight hours, from 10 p.m. on November 18 to 6 a.m. the next morning, until the thread reached 1,000 posts. But he was exposed in the new thread right away too. Shuu-chan acted like the victim on Twitter even though he was the perpetrator. His friends, who had been completely fooled, worried about him. Shuu-chan's CROOZ profile and CROOZ blog were exposed by angry regulars next. Then he got dogpiled on 2ch. Shuu-chan became bedridden from the shock of getting dogpiled. But even though his own slander was the reason he got dogpiled, he started holding a grudge and seeking revenge. Shuu-chan returned to 2ch once things had cooled down. Unaware that he was being left out there as bait, he kept slandering people and saying whatever he wanted.

2011 Shuu-chan started the year by egging people on to bash Hattori. Continued slandering her every day as usual. Shuu-chan kept leaking personal information without realizing his new Twitter account was being watched. Shuu-chan replied “nice work” to everyone indiscriminately. His replies turned into praise for Hattori. Shuu-chan was confronted with circumstantial evidence and finally forced to stop being left out there as bait. After more than a year of persistent slander and trolling, Shuu-chan wrote an apology that was only two lines long. (Since there were tweets around the time of the apology, people assume it was him.)

Shuu-chan deleted the name of his agency and his blog address from Twitter. Worried that his identity had been pinned down, Shuu-chan got a fever and was sent to the hospital. After a series of summary posts were made about everything he'd done, Shuu-chan wrote another dogeza apology and begged for forgiveness. Even though Shuu-chan promised, “I'll stop posting from now on,” he broke that promise with ease. Angry regulars exposed his Twitter and Ameblo blog. He immediately changed his Twitter address. Shuu-chan deleted his own face photo, made the account private, and changed his displayed name and place of residence. But he was found again almost immediately. (It was still kept secret at this point.) Shuu-chan was completely dogpiled on 2ch again. He was demanded to apologize not only to Hattori, but to every singer he had slandered. He was given a certain amount of time, but ignored the demand. His misdeeds in Hattori's thread were exposed in the Lead thread, and even his Twitter and friends were exposed. He still didn't apologize and ignored the demand. Even his posts in the w-inds. thread were exposed.

2012 Shuu-chan was exposed in the Yuki Koyanagi thread, where he used to be a fan. After that, the Yuki Koyanagi thread descended into a huge fan-on-fan slander fest and total chaos. Shuu-chan was also exposed in the Mai Kuraki thread. He changed his Twitter address, but it was found and exposed again right away. In the Mai Kuraki thread, suspicions also arose that he had slandered people with disabilities. He repeatedly changed his displayed name and place of residence, among other details. Shuu-chan was exposed in the Lead thread again. He fled from Twitter, made another account, and was found almost immediately. Without realizing he was being watched, Shuu-chan confessed that he was gay.

It's not just GC otaku. Being otaku are nasty too. Kind of late to be saying that now, though. These people are exclusive as hell, basically. Whenever they praise Being, they always serve it with insults toward other artists on the side.

>130 Out of all of them, this Shuu-chan isn't just nasty, he's a complete idiot, lol. He got personally identified from his 2ch posts and even had his dogeza apology exposed, lol.

Stop posting huge walls of irrelevant stuff. I guess Osaka through general sales really is impossible. My mood's gone downhill.

★ GARNET CROW fan Shuu-chan ★ Twitter (his face is currently public! Must-see!) //twitter.com/SpidERSpins00 ↑ Nothing good comes from getting involved with this guy, lol. Lots of people in other threads have been exposed on 2ch just because they got involved with him, too, lol. If you're following him or something, you'd better unfollow him.

Got into Osaka opening night. Didn't get the final show or Tokyo. At least I'm glad I got Osaka. There are probably fans more hardcore than me who got the final show, so I hope the people who've supported them all this time get to enjoy it properly. The presale lottery I applied for after asking my family to register for Musing had the same result. If nobody wants to go with me, I guess I'll look for someone in this thread, lol.

Thank you very much for applying for the ticket lottery sale for “GARNET CROW livescope ～THE FINAL～.” After a strict and fair drawing, you have been selected. Congratulations.

>117 Come on... rest... okay? It's all right now... you don't have to try so hard anymore. I went a little too far too. I didn't mean to push you into making a reply that crazy. I had no idea I'd pushed you so far that your thoughts would completely fall apart... Come on, let's go home now. You can start over. I know you can.

All 13 of us, counting family members, applied, and every single one lost＠Osaka final. Did anyone get the final show?

Got into Osaka opening night, but my application number was over 100,000. If this many people had definitely bought CDs, maybe they wouldn't have broken up after all.

Didn't get picked. Is there really no other way to get a ticket now... I won't buy one off an auction site, though.

>136 All that matters is knowing that Azuki couldn't play keyboard despite being the keyboard player. That's why the lineup had the ridiculous setup of two keyboard players. Two guitarists is perfectly plausible, but two keyboardists is weird, lol.

About how much do tickets for the final show usually go for on auction sites?

I only got into Tokyo. Pia and LoTicket have a Tokyo presale too. Since the Osaka shows are earlier, there might be a presale for those later too.

Got into Osaka opening night. It's my first live show. I might cry, seriously...

I got an error at the final 3D authentication step when I tried to pay. When I tried to start over, the status had become “Selected (payment not completed)” and I couldn't continue the process. What is this, am I screwed?

Looks like quite a lot of people got Osaka opening night through the presale.

I'm jealous of everyone who got in. Congrats. I wanted to go at least once...

If Osaka opening night works for you, wanna go together?

I want to, but a socially awkward person like me can't make a move like that! Thanks m(_ _)m

53 days until GARNET CROW's final live.

I'm from Tohoku too, just like Ms. Hattori and Oyama, but after the disaster I was moved by reading Ms. Hattori's blog, and I admired her for taking part in charity live shows despite being on hiatus. 556 ：名無しの歌姫：2011/11/11(金) 02:00:36.12 ID:UApKWio0O I deeply regret having kept posting for so long. I'm truly sorry.

Around what time will the live show end? Maybe around 9:30 p.m.?

>144 I ended up in the same state. It said to wait about an hour, and after waiting I was able to pay with a different credit card.

Let's do call-and-response during the instrumental break in “Yume Mita Ato de” on the day and get the place hyped up.

Don't ruin the emotional moment. That's interference with business, isn't it?

I guess we should report the auction for now.

This is my first and last time going to GARNET CROW. Just getting selected already has me on the verge of tears.

>155 Report it lolllllllll Where's that reportーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー？？？？？？？？？？？？？？ lolllllllll Hey, you piece of trash over there, report it already lolllllllll

ID:SZiLhMUp0 Why are you losing your mind first thing in the morning?

>159 Maybe he's the seller? lol

>160 Well, no. I think it's that crazy Being uncle.

It really is spring~ Since we're talking about spring, like a flower waiting for spring~♪

All I want is for GIZA to tell us whether they're planning to shut down or whether they still intend to keep going. I did laugh a little when I saw a banner on their website asking for demo tapes, though.

Auctions are convenient, though. Even if you miss out on the presale and general sales, you can definitely go to the live if you throw enough money at it. Though if someone says the ticket would have gone to somebody else if scalpers hadn't bought it, there's not much you can say back.

All those cute-faced amateur girls who debuted from GIZA back in the day have gone to groups like AKB now, huh~ And the otaku just want to meet them directly and shake their hands. The slightly mysterious young-lady image GIZA used to have isn't fashionable anymore.

Not that I'm trying to pick up where the “realist” left off, but there's a theory that Nagato's projects were meant to show off his power to his mistresses, and that he never actually wanted them to become popular. People have been passing that theory around on 2ch for years. Of course, if you're going to sell something, you want to sell it, but apparently he doesn't want it to sell too well because that would expose his other shady dealings too. When you look at how GIZA operates in such an obviously anti-sales way, a lot of it does make sense.

If doing call-and-response during “Yume Mita Ato de” would make GARNET reunite, what would you do?

This is the first time I've seen someone call themselves a “realist.” Being uncle calling himself a realist, lol.

Come to think of it, is that GARNET cover band still active?

I should've made it clear at the beginning that I wasn't talking about myself, lol. What an idiot.

There aren't two Being uncles, dumbass, lol. Nice self-posting, lol.

You're the only one who thinks it's the Being uncle in the first place, dumbass, lol. Nice trolling, lol.

>172 You still haven't realized it? You've become the Being uncle now.

Then it wouldn't be weird for there to be two Being uncles, would it? What are you talking about, lol.

>140 No, you said it was mimed, so I pointed out that she really is playing, using the wrong notes and the close-up footage where her fingers line up as evidence. Besides, TOTO had a twin-keyboard era too, didn't they? Yes even had a lineup with two guitars, two keyboards, and two drum kits. Hurry up and go back to Sakai already.

What a deliberately slow reply, lol. So it's hilarious that you claim she can play keyboard when she's constantly hitting wrong notes. Is this about the third time now?

Hey, are you seriously okay in the head? You said she wasn't playing, didn't you?

Huh? Why do I suddenly become the Being uncle? This makes no sense. ID:sgnmuTFiI ← Is this guy also one of the Being uncle's buddies?

Don't engage him. Learn to ignore him.

>177 Someone who can't play isn't playing, obviously. She didn't play on the recordings either.

>178 Who said you were the Being uncle? lol Your reading comprehension is so bad you should probably just die.

No, I'm saying the fact is that she really plays it live.

Well, she probably didn't play on the recordings.

Can you bring us a video or something for now? I haven't seen it, so I can't really say anything. They wouldn't keep showing close-ups of the keyboard player's hands the whole time.

>181 Huh? The one whose reading comprehension is so bad he should die is you. It was >173 (ID:sgnmuTFiI) who said it, right? Is he your buddy? Hey, ID:sgnmuTFiI, come out one more time.

>185 It has an anchor to me, so... Don't start going crazy in broad daylight. You can't even read the post numbers right. Your judgment has completely gone downhill.

Search for “Wasurezaki” on YouTube. I only started listening after I saw the breakup news on Yahoo, though, so I don't know that much about them either. If you look around, there are probably other videos too, right?

>187 You don't know? lol They must have arranged beforehand to do a close-up of her hands for the intro's showcase part. Azuki probably practiced that one part specifically until she could do it. But since she was originally someone who couldn't play keyboard at all, she still hits wrong notes all over even there. When you have nothing else to do with your life, anyone can master one small section of a keyboard, after all.

>185 It means people see you as the same kind of existence as the Being uncle. In other words, you've fallen within the definition of “Being uncle.”

>189 No, no, lol. Why are you fighting with that guy? Don't tell me this is self-posting? I thought it was suspicious when an “I” suddenly showed up.

I'm not fighting with him or anything. I just thought people might see me as the Being uncle.

>191 When you said “people might see me as the Being uncle,” you were talking about me, right? How did that turn into you talking about ID:bkIDzt1/0? You and ID:bkIDzt1/0 both misread the ID. That's why I'm saying it smells like self-posting.

Well, Yurippe is a virgin, though.

Or what? Did >173 mean to anchor >171 and just get it wrong? But without realizing the mistake, the person who was actually being addressed, >171, talked back. Is that the self-posting setup here? lol

Ah... I was the one who got it wrong. Sorry. I thought I was the one being called the Being uncle. My bad, ID:sgnmuTFiI-chan.

Reading it again, it looks like this started because >178 misunderstood my reply to >172.

Sorry, sorryー

Why did you both reread it at the same time? I haven't seen someone this bad at faking a self-post in ages, lol. Didn't I tell you not to go crazy in broad daylight?

It's not self-posting. What would be the point of that? To increase the number of Being uncles, lol?

The final show seems to be almost completely filled by FC tickets.

>200 Well, obviously.

June 2013 events *Subject to change due to circumstances on the organizer's side. Thank you for your understanding.* No events scheduled. Has GIZA still not secured it? It's not listed among the June events at Grand Cube Osaka.

>199 You and the guy whose ID ends in I didn't realize you'd both messed up the anchors either. I explained it in >194, remember?

No, self-posting wouldn't make any sense. The opinions of bkIDzt1/0 and sgnmuTFiI are closer to each other, so why would they be fighting?

The final show starts pretty early. They'll probably do something special at the end. I'm grateful just to have gotten the 8th.

See? Your ID changed from earlier. There's no way to trust anything someone like you says. Who cares? Your very existence and everything you say was nonsensical to begin with, lol.

>206 was replying to >204. “知るすよ” → “知るかよ”

Un-Chiba Shuu fled from Twitter, lol.

>166 > Nagato's projects were meant to show off his power to his mistresses. > There's a theory that he didn't actually want them to become popular. > People have been passing that around on 2ch for years. “For years on 2ch”? I've never seen that theory even once. Stop pretending to be an expert when you're just a newbie. It's embarrassing when your lies get exposed.

I saw it in a Being thread around 2006. I only read the old logs, though. I think the discussion was something like, “Why do they keep debuting all these weird women?”

Forget that. Let's talk about the call-and-response in “Yume Mita Ato de.”

I want them to debut with Yoshiki producing them.

>214 Don't try to turn them into crap.

>213 You need to realize by now that you're bombing.

For the FC final show, apparently people who listed a second choice didn't get their first choice, unfortunately.

If I get my second choice, I'll get an email tomorrow, huh... Please don't let it come. If I'd listed only the final show as my first choice, would I have been guaranteed a ticket?

>218 That's what the email seems to say.

>217 Where did you hear that? Since it's the last one, I think everyone listed every preference they could. Of course I'd like to see the final show if possible... Does GIZA even use a lottery method like that?

>218 If that's the case, does that mean I, who only listed my first choice... got it!?

Could they still move the venue to somewhere bigger? Probably impossible...

>220 The FC email came.

>220 G-NET sent an email. GARNET CROW livescope ～THE FINAL～ Regarding the results of the FC ticket priority reservation lottery for everyone who applied: we are pleased to report that everyone who applied this time has been selected. However, for those who applied for the June 9 (Sunday) Grand Cube Osaka show, the number of applications exceeded the number of seats we had prepared, so some applicants were selected for their second-choice show instead. We sincerely apologize that we could not meet your request, and ask for your understanding. For everyone selected for their second choice, we will contact all applicants with registered email addresses by email during the morning of Friday, April 19.

>224 It doesn't say that people who listed a second choice failed to get their first choice, though...

I listed the day before as my second choice as insurance, but I already got that one through Musing, so now they overlap orz I shouldn't have listed a second choice...

>225 It says “selected,” so I guess that means they got in, right?

>217 Pretty much. I shouldn't have listed a second choice, damn it (crying).

>215 Calling Yoshiki crap? Are you an idiot? He worked on the Golden Globe Awards theme song two years in a row, you know.

Everyone got selected, but some people were selected for their second choice. So the people who only listed their first choice got that one, while some of the people who listed a second choice failed to get their first choice, right?

>230 That's more or less how it reads in the email...

GIZA is doing slapdash work as usual. I honestly wonder how a company can keep running like this.

So I guess non-members really don't have much of a chance at Osaka... What a shame.

But at least we can go to one of the shows, right? I was freaking out after seeing the Musing results and thinking I'd struck out everywhere, so what a relief.

Thanks to G-NET for securing the tickets. The Being website has the best-of album cover up, though it's tiny. ttp://beinggiza.com/

Whoa, the slapdash work on that cover is something else, lol.

>235 Wowーーno way, lol. So tacky, lol. Does this mean they didn't even do a new photo shoot?

>235 What is this? It's way too disappointing. Looks like there aren't gonna be any bonuses either. Even if you buy it at the venue, it'll probably just come with a poster of this cover or something. It almost feels like you can see the members' reluctance to release this thing showing through. I'm dying, lol.

I got Tokyo through Musingー!

A mirror ball? Why, lol?

The theme song for that short drama “Kazoku Lesson” was “Nora,” and it fit ridiculously well, didn't it?

They should include “Kanashimi no Sheol” as a bonus.

Ikeda-sensei, Oga, Iwai, Karita, Kurumaya, all of you, come on out. Help make it the best live show ever.

>243 Black Frog would be better than Kurumaya. I'd like the girl all the way on the sleeve side of the Rhyme Ladies Orchestra to come too.

>244 The girl on the sleeve side? The one who appeared in front of the camera in livescope 2012? I thought she was cute, so I pointed her out and tried looking her up in the main thread before, but never found out her name.

I entered my email address correctly without any mistakes, but the FC email still hasn't come. Are they just too lazy to deal with it because the group is breaking up anyway...?

>246 Could it have been marked as spam? Why not email the FC directly and ask? See the newsletter for details.

There still aren't any Osaka tickets on Yahoo Auctions either. There's one lunatic on Ryutsu Center, though, lol.

I mean, isn't ticket reselling against the rules?

GARNET CROW effectively ended its activities years ago, didn't it? Some people are saying this album smells like they're just clearing out inventory. The cover photo was probably made by mashing together old photos too. There weren't even any comments from these guys in the bakery's comments section.

I'm annoyed at myself for looking up what “Sheol” means.

Good morning, Yurippe.

Ever since I found out about the breakup, every day has been “Namida no Yesterday.” Every day is a downward spiral. We thought GARNET CROW would last forever, but “our future, just ours” was stabbed by the word “breakup,” turning us into people rushing through an instant that had been meant to be eternal. We finally endured the whiteness of winter and spring arrived, warm and bright like “Hare-dokei,” but when I think GARNET CROW might disappear with just one word—goodbye—my heart feels like the shore of days in “Hyaku-nen no Kodoku.”

“Kagami ni Mita Yume,” “P.S Girl,” and “Shiroi Sora” are way too good.

GARNET CROW livescope ～THE FINAL～ This will be our 12th pre-live meetup! Since GARNET CROW is breaking up, this is the last meetup before the final show. So why not use this precious chance to meet and mingle with fellow GARNET fans? Are you nervous because it's your first time? Feeling lonely because you're coming alone? Coming with one other person but wanting to meet lots of fans? Come on over. We don't do anything special, just chat, but it's surprisingly fun. Even just dropping by to say hi is fine! Joining late or leaving early is okay too! Feel free to come whenever works for you. It's the final tour, so let's get fired up talking GARNET before the live show!! We're looking forward to lots of people joining us. 【Meeting time】Come whenever is convenient between 14:00 and 16:30. 【Meeting place】In front of the viewing seats? in front of the Grand Cube Osaka entrance. Note: We are not planning a location-tour this time.

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

I did my best for Yuri-san today too.

I want to see the Being uncle again today too.

>248 There's an idiot spending 50,000 yen, lol.

I can kind of understand the feeling of paying any amount to get one, though.

Surely not every FC member missed out, right? I wonder how it went for the general applicants. I got the Saturday show, but Yurippe is definitely going to cry at the final one.

>261 That's how it looks from the email. Has anyone gotten an email saying they were selected for their second choice?

And those who fly high above.

I bet Mai Kuraki will come sing backup too. She has to come. The reason Kuraki is where she is now is thanks to GARNET CROW.

Ninety minutes to go...

Over Drive♪

Will the email really be sent in the morning...? I just hope it won't be on GIZA time, lol.

So it didn't come in the morning after all... I lost out in tears at the NHK Hall countdown, but thank you, G-NET.

Anyway, the email came at 11:55. June 8 is confirmed. orz I wonder if a presale lottery for the 9th will come up too. (ﾉд-｡) *sniff*

Me too, June 8... Orz. Should I not have listed a second choice? (T_T)

>268 Congrats! Looks like the second-choice emails arrived around 11:55~. How last-minute can you get, five minutes before noon? lol

I only applied for one ticket. I wonder if anyone who applied for four got in too? >269-270 May everyone get the 9th through general sales (-人-)

>271 Thanks (´Д`) But I still can't relax, lol.

I hope the people who got moved to their second choice get good seats.

>272 I applied for four tickets, and it looks like both my friend and I got selected?

May 24: Musing first priority June 8: G-NET first priority June 9: Loppi first priority

No matter how much confusion there was about the second-choice thing, they allowed applications for four tickets and only had 3,000 seats, yet everyone got selected. Were there really that few actual G-NET members...?

>277 The Musing allocation, plus the general ticket allocation— how many tickets are there going to be for the final show?

I didn't register for email delivery, so I have no idea whether I got in. I just sent an email to register. I wonder if they'll send the result to me again.

>277 Yeah, I thought that too. Seeing how they were selling same-day tickets at the FC event, and how there were empty seats at the recent Rivaforo too, it kind of makes sense. By the way, I got moved to my second choice even though I only applied for one ticket. orz

>274 No, normally the first choice should take priority.

GIZA A Processing refunds for people who only listed their first choice is such a pain~ How many people are there with a second choice? GIZA B Around ○○ people. GIZA A Oh, looks like we can make it work. That kind of exchange was probably happening internally, lol.

Probably this time, the second choices of people who lost the final show were given priority, while the people who had listed only their first choice got pushed aside.

I wonder how many people from out of town will go to the final show. I'm going. My first trip to Osaka for a show.

No email!! Yayー!

Drop dead, shitty GIZA. The management is the worst.

>286 We already knew the management was the worst from the start. If the management had been competent, they wouldn't have had to downsize and would still be going.

I applied twice with a friend, so I'll have two extra tickets. I don't really want to put them up for auction, though.

They completely overlap with my companion's tickets, so I have no choice but to sell them through a ticket exchange.

Did anyone who listed the final show as their first choice lose?

Yep!

>282 Refunds are a pain too, but maybe they thought it would be a waste to let go of money they'd already collected. Considering GIZA's situation, I expected this might happen, so I listed only my first choice.

Maybe they already used the money they collected as some kind of funding for the live show, lol. If there really is an FC closing event, I guess I'll bet on only my first choice then.

>293 If there's an FC event, I think it'll be one ticket per person with no companions. The venue might be Tokyo only too. That's how it apparently was for Airi Uchino.

I got moved to my second choice too. According to what people are saying on mixi, they excluded people who listed only their first choice from the lottery, and only held a lottery among the people who seriously filled in a second choice. I didn't know this company was such an idiot. If people who didn't list a second choice really couldn't make it to one of the other first-day shows, I could understand, but most of them probably wanted to go to the first day too. They probably just thought, “As long as we fill the seats,” or couldn't be bothered to send the money back. Well, this kind of management is probably why weird stuff gets written about them in certain threads. Anyway, if the management can't even follow the rules in its own notices, it has no right to lecture the fans about rules. I doubt this complaint will hurt GIZA one bit, though. As a small act of resistance, I spent about 90,000 yen on merch during the last tour, but I won't be buying much merch this time. I didn't want things to end with nothing but complaints like this, but if any of the members go solo, I really hope they'll leave Being, which never even considers the fans' feelings.

I didn't get an email either! Yayー!

There probably won't be an FC event. In Airi Uchino's case, she said she was retiring within the year, so they held it that year and it wasn't a problem. But GARNET said they're breaking up in June, so isn't it too late now?

The management is way too awful.

If they're going to keep operating until October, I wonder if they'll make anything during that time.

>299 The members break up on June 9. G-NET will probably continue until September because there'll be things like the Terimuns live DVD, the last live DVD, and an All Complete Collection? (A fan club/Musing limited release.) Probably: July: Terimuns live DVD August: last live DVD September: All Complete Collection The All Complete Collection will probably include all the original albums, all the DVDs, secret live shows (the symphonic countdown live), and so on.

Looks like there are three more newsletters coming. I think it's better not to expect any events.

Please wear bikinis for the final live at least!!

There'll be a screen video setup at the final live, right?

I don't mind having a screen, but don't put the lyrics on it. It's way too tacky.

>301 Yeah. It's better not to expect anything from the FC. We should consider June the last time. So we don't have any regrets...

GARNET CROW PREMIER BOX 2000-2013 When is it coming~?

Nakamura, who can't play any instruments at all (so of course every song is ghostwritten), is probably frantically training right now and getting ready to perform a singing-and-playing act, lol.

Nana will probably make a big show of how she can play keyboard. And she'll probably make a big show of how close she is with Nakamura. It's a band full of fiction. Made up of low-educated trash women who slept their way to the top. That's right, GARNET CROW!

I wanted them to wrap it up at Ninnaji again in the end.

Hurry up with Bikiniscope 2013!

Saying “they said it on mixi” isn't proof of anything. Stop blaming the management just because you lost and shut up.

It's also true that people who don't understand GIZA's nature are to blame. This is GIZA we're talking about. There was never any chance they'd hold a normal lottery.

I sang “Timeless Sleep <groove more “call sky” mix>” at JOYSOUND the other day, and the wrong lyrics came up, which really killed the mood. The second verse of that song is supposed to be a little different from the original, but the lyrics that came up were just the original song's lyrics. I wonder if it was a mistake by the karaoke producers or if they intentionally made it that way.

I got the Saturday show through general sales. Was I just lucky? Are there any general applicants who got the final show?

>272 Thanks. I was an idiot for trusting GIZA (^_^;)

https://hotfile.com/dl/203654326/383103b/garnet.zip.html

>300 That's still plenty. >316 I cried.

It pisses me off that, thanks to a shitty company like this, they've managed to keep putting out good songs for 13 years. What a dilemma.

Since I can go to the final show, I don't think GIZA is all that bad after all~

The final-show acceptance email came ｷﾀ――(ﾟ∀ﾟ)――!!

Die, shitty GIZA! What you said is different from yesterday. They definitely rigged it so everyone would be selected because processing refunds is a pain.

I want an unreleased song at the last live, like Airi did.

>289 If it's the final show, I'll give you 20,000 yen for one ticket... That seems like the going rate... orz

■ Regarding the show you were selected for: GARNET CROW livescope ～THE FINAL～ Regarding the lottery results for GARNET CROW livescope ～THE FINAL～, we previously informed everyone who applied for the June 9 (Sunday) Grand Cube Osaka show by email yesterday that a lottery was required because the number of applications exceeded the number of seats prepared. We had told you that no email would be sent to those selected for their first choice, but we received comments that not receiving a notice caused anxiety, so we have sent out this mailing news despite the late hour. We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for your first choice, the June 9 (Sunday) Grand Cube Osaka show. For details of your selection result, please check the result postcard scheduled to be mailed on Tuesday, April 23.

>323 It's the 8th, sorry.

Looks like Pia is starting a Pre-Reserve for the second Osaka show tomorrow. I wonder if the FC couldn't secure enough tickets.

Actually, the added Tokyo show is the final one.

If the lottery results simply moved you to your second choice, I guess that's unavoidable. But if nobody who listed a second choice got the second Osaka show, then basically they didn't hold a lottery at all, right...

>328 Exactly. I could accept losing a fair lottery, but this is the last one, so it really hurts.

>328 I can't forgive them for prioritizing people who listed only the second Osaka show as their first choice.

>328 No, there are people who listed a second choice and still got their first choice! At least half the people around me got theirs.

>331 That's not the issue. Everyone who listed only their first choice got selected, while people who listed a second choice had to enter a lottery. That's what's weird.

>>332 This violates fairness. >>330 Complain to G-NET one last time!

>332 I wrote that because someone said nobody had been selected, lol. I get why you're not satisfied, but it's the company's way of doing things, so what can you do~? Other places do this too. If they'd just written “everyone will be entered in a lottery,” it wouldn't have caused confusion. Why were they honest about it, lol?

>331 Oh, I see. So they selected everyone who listed only their first choice unconditionally first, then held a lottery among the people who had listed a second choice for the remaining seats. That's what happened, right? (´・ω・`) I think any normal person would feel that's unfair...

I listed all the way to a third choice, and got an email saying I got the second Osaka show. Four tickets.

>327 No way that's true.

I didn't get to see the Being uncle today.

Since I live in Kanto, I'm happy with May 24 as my first choice, but most people in Kansai probably had June 9 as their first choice and June 8 as their second, so I feel terribly sorry for everyone who got moved to their second choice.

I'm planning to buy through Loppi, but is June 9 hopeless?

They're charging an administrative fee and still running a rigged lottery. Isn't that straight-up fraud? My feelings about supporting GARNET haven't changed, but I can't forgive this shitty criminal agency.

Where does everyone live? I wonder if a lot of people are traveling to Osaka from far away.

The members who have to go onstage in this situation must be having a rough time too... in all kinds of ways, lol.

I can't forgive this shitty agency for rigging the lottery.

I listed all three choices and got the second Osaka show. Thank god, thank god. (Though honestly, any day would've been fine.)

There's no point complaining about it now, so switch gears and enjoy the final live.

Not everyone is going to sit quietly and watch this kind of rigging, so I just hope nothing happens on the day of the live... (´・ω・｀)

The way they handled this was deliberate, no doubt.

Can someone summarize the agency's wrongdoing? What exactly happened?

Classic GIZA quality, always going way beyond what anyone expects. It always felt like “a strict and fair lottery??” anyway, with the same people somehow always near the very front. Do you have to cause a scene on Bakatter to get one? orz

What an awful story. The fact that they wrote it so honestly in the email makes me wonder if they don't even think they did anything wrong.

Now that they've put a blemish on it, they should add another show.

I couldn't sleep much last night because I was worried about the lottery results, and I was on pins and needles every time I got an email notification until noon... Luckily I got my first choice, the final show, but I deeply regret listing a second choice. By the way, I applied for two tickets. I hope everyone who unfortunately got moved to their second choice gets good seats.

258 ：名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。：2013/04/19(金) 06:58:31.85 ID:qoLVyTWL0 I want to see the Being uncle again today too. 338 ：名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。：2013/04/19(金) 22:29:33.05 ID:qoLVyTWL0 I didn't get to see the Being uncle today. I see. This is the pervert who writes things like “I'll do my best for Yuri-san” every day, lol.

But did the email actually say that? Isn't it a matter of interpretation?

I wish they'd do a live show limited to FC members.

This feels kind of disappointing~ But I'll switch gears and look forward to the best stage possible. It's the last one, after all.

>349 FC priority purchases are limited to one show, but you can list your first through third choices. If there are too many applications, they hold a lottery. You pay 6,500 yen for the ticket plus a 700-yen issuance fee upfront. If you lose, they refund only the 6,500 yen. Then they sent an email saying everyone who applied had been selected. In other words, everyone who listed only their first choice (the final show was popular) got exactly what they wanted. Most people who listed a second or third choice lost their first choice and got their second or third instead. If it were a fair lottery, there should have been some people who wanted only the final show and still lost. It's obvious they did this because they wanted to avoid the expense and hassle of refunding losers. That stupid GIZA agency mocked its genuine fans by using fraud. But this has nothing to do with the GARNET members. The agency is just trash.

It'll be a good thing to be rid of this agency soon too.

>358 That sounds normal to me. If some people can only go on the final day while others can go all three days, that's the obvious result.

>358 That really is awful. Drop dead.

The email arrived right on time in the morning on the 19th, and I was already feeling crushed after getting the email saying I'd been moved to my second choice. But now I see that the email in >324 came too. Which one is it? Did the management get confused because they were flooded with complaint emails?

If their management system could get confused by complaint emails, they wouldn't be capable of processing things this sloppily in the first place.

If GIZA quality kicks in and gives everyone who listed a second choice good seats on the first day, I doubt it'll work out quite that conveniently for us. If there are only around 500 of them, they might get to watch from the A〇 row. Lucky them. There are probably lots of people who also bought overlapping companion slots for the second day, so they'll probably figure something out. The same people always being in the front row is probably because they just bought tickets at auction, or because they have duplicate memberships. New members tend to get front-section tickets more easily, not just with GARNET, so maybe they keep quitting and rejoining. As for GIZA, as long as it's running a business, making money is obviously more important than the fans. So the FC postponement was probably suggested by one of the members, too. I can't imagine GIZA came up with it itself. In the end, this may very well have accelerated the breakup. Still, if GIZA didn't exist, I never would have discovered GARNET, so I am grateful for that. The members of GARNET have absolutely no responsibility for this mess, so I'll just find tickets somewhere else and enjoy all three live shows.

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

The day of the breakup is getting closer...

The very last part of the final is set. MC: Futari no Rocket → Yume Mita Ato de → Blue Regret Nakamura puts the mic on the floor (doesn't come back out). For Tokyo, there's one more song before she puts the mic down → Kimi Tsure.

>342 I'm coming from Fukuoka for it.

>358 We already spent it on stage costs, so refunds are such a pain~ — GIZA

>364 The more companions you have, the farther back you're likely to be. If seats in the same order aren't in the same row, what's the point?

Maybe a lot of people listed the second Osaka show as their first choice and didn't list a second choice. When it's the final live, I think it's only human to be reluctant to reject people.

>371 Exactly. Listing a second choice is saying “that would be okay too,” so of course you're lower priority than people who can only go to their first choice, right? It's the final live, after all. Wipe your tears.

I'm going on the 8th. What time is everyone planning to get to the venue?

The moment you list a second choice, you're saying either one is fine.

I'm traveling from Kansai to Tokyo, so I need to book a hotel.

>373 I'm going to wait outside for the artists, so around noon.

Is “Love is a Bird” a song about a boy getting his heart broken?

>374 That's not it. I painfully listed a second choice because otherwise I'd lose out. I wanted to go on the final day, but of course I got moved to my second choice.

>364 New members really do tend to get good seats. Repeatedly joining is a hassle, so they must add extra memberships under different names. Even if the address is the same, you can do it as many times as you want if the names are different.

>372 I see. So GIZA is getting criticized because it respected that way of thinking.

Giving good seats to people who listed Osaka day two as their first choice but got moved to Osaka day one? That's unbearable for the people who originally listed day one as their first choice. That wouldn't be fair either.

>374 I made it a one-choice-only application because it sounded like people would take it that way.

Encore Over Drive Spiral Double encore Yume Mita Ato de Smiley Nation That's my prediction.

Everyone's complaining nonstop about this lottery, but what exactly do you think would've been the right way to do it? If you think about maximizing the number of satisfied people, I think this lottery was reasonable.

>384 They should've simply held a lottery among everyone whose first choice was the final day. The fact that they excluded people who listed only one first choice from the lottery is what caused all of this.

Then some of the people who listed only the final show as their first choice would've lost, so of course they would've complained too. The management has to secure an audience, and the fans want to see the final live, so this measure was unavoidable. I can see it this way because I happened to get my first choice after listing a second choice too, but people who got moved to their second choice might understandably not feel that way.

What you're saying is perfectly reasonable, but this isn't a matter of logic. It's a matter of human feeling.

The people who listed only their first choice did so after acknowledging that the application form said they might not be assigned to any show.

I don't think that makes them more deserving of respect than the people who listed a second choice. It seems some people listed another day as insurance for their companions too.

The reason they offer second and third choices is to fill all the FC slots and reduce the number of losers. Even if GIZA was just reluctant to deal with refunds, they had a legitimate reason for the system. Too many people are only thinking from the applicant's point of view. I sympathize, but people who listed a second choice got selected too, so get over it.

Get over it already. Stop being so desperate. It was stupid of you all to have spent money on these GIZA-style people, who just slapped a fake shine on talent below amateur level. The agency and the artists' low level are both GIZA. Wake up already.

People who listed a second and third choice did so because they could go on those days, right? Or did you list a day you couldn't actually attend?

>392 Of course I can go all three days. But let me ask you this: Do the people who listed only their first choice only plan to come on the final day? More than half the people who listed choices probably wanted to go on day one too, right? That's weird.

It's not “weird.” They “played it well.”

The banner and call-and-response discussions have completely disappeared, lol. Well, the people who teamed up in threes and went all-in on their first choice scored a huge victory... Nothing anyone says now will bridge the gap between the winners and losers. If it was going to be this fierce, I can't help wondering whether things might have changed if people had worked harder to show up for the pre-Terminus lives too.

They should've released a swimsuit photo book of Yurippe.

If Yurippe became a soapland girl, I'd visit once a month.

Once live week arrives, my feelings will inevitably get swept up in it... But with more than a month still to go... as long as Yurippe doesn't play a card, I'll keep quiet. ...I absolutely don't want to start entertaining delusions about an earthquake weapon originating from me. Am I just supposed to endure the post-live Dalk state? Nobody knows what anyone's feelings will be at any given point.

>393 I'm only coming on the final day. Because it's a long way from Fukuoka.

>399 In that case, no problem. I'm coming from far away too, so let's both enjoy it.

I'm from Kansai but live in Tokyo, and I can't go to the Tokyo show, so I'm going to Osaka. Well, even if I could go to the Tokyo show, I was planning to go to Osaka too. I have a feeling this means I probably won't be going to other artists' live shows for quite a while, maybe not at all.

People who listed only their first choice took on the risk that they might not be able to attend the live if they lost, so I don't think they have any grounds to complain. Listing a second choice was an individual decision, after all. I listed a second choice myself, so I understand the feelings, but that's just hindsight. I can't really blame GIZA for deciding to get every FC applicant into a live show.

Maybe there would've been more complaints if not everyone could attend the last live. Who knows at this point, though. I'm from Kansai, but I'm going to Tokyo too. And I'll go to Osaka as well.

With Mr. Children, losing even through the FC is normal, you know?

The ticket application form says, “For those who apply for only their first choice, if they are not selected...” But shitty GIZA didn't hold a lottery and just changed the rules on its own. This isn't about caring for the fans or whatever. It's fraud because they just wanted to save the refund costs, that's all.

Every FC uses the same lottery method, but G-NET is the only one that honestly announced, “We prioritized people who listed only their first choice.”

Sunday starts early. I wonder if they'll do something at the end.

>400 What do you mean, “no problem,” lol? It's totally normal for friends to split up the ticket applications and get them between them.

>406 Exactly, lol. Everyone does it. They're just being ridiculously honest this time, lol.

http://mantan-web.jp/gallery/2013/04/20/20130420dog00m200024000c/image/001.jpg Looks similar.

Gore warning!

>407 Probably it'll just end normally and the staff will go out drinking.

The ticket-transfer thread went over 1,000 posts, so I couldn't write there. Please stop posting nasty comments here. Are you confusing this with 2ch? Besides, I started this thread, and I don't consider ticket-transfer talk a violation, so it isn't a violation. It's seriously hilarious that people say mixi has lower standards than 2ch, lol.

How many tickets have the mixi people secured? They must be overlapping all over the place within their group with blocks of four seats.

>413 So anything goes just because you started the thread, lol? In the first place, isn't trading tickets on mixi itself a problem? If you hand over the ticket in person on the day, don't come crying if you get scammed.

>415 That is scary.

This person's way of handling the transaction is pretty shady. Paying in advance and getting the ticket in person on the day, and all that. Since Gane is breaking up and there probably won't be another live show, they'll never have to see each other again, so I bet scams will be even more common than usual.

>405 They didn't change it. If there are fewer tickets than people with the same preferences, there will be a lottery. The only thing that happened this time is that the denominator was bigger.

>418 Are you stupid? Don't make incomprehensible posts. If the number of first-choice applicants exceeds the number of tickets, the rule is to hold a lottery among everyone who listed it as their first choice.

>398 Is this that person? Did you get the Osaka final too?

>419 The lottery just happened to select everyone who didn't list a second choice. Got a problem with that?

>417 Paying upfront and getting the ticket in person on the day is pretty shady. They even wrote “light fans not welcome,” lol, and kept emphasizing “good faith” over and over, lol. With an auction you can at least identify the other person, but on mixi you're done if they run off. You need to be careful, like using cash on delivery.

I got the final show lolllllllll! I'm definitely doing the call-and-response during “Yume Mita Ato de”!!

I got moved to my second choice, but I've given up now. I've never failed to get my first choice with any singer I've been a fan of before, so this was my first experience with a system that prioritized people who didn't list a second choice. I just kept posting complaints. Sorry. But listening to Yurippe's voice healed those feelings, so I'm going to think of another way to get a ticket and go to the final show.

>419 You don't even know there are FC, Musing, organizer, and Loppi allocations?

Since it's the final live, they made getting everyone selected an absolute condition. The result left some people dissatisfied, but I don't think it was the wrong decision for the management. If you didn't want anything except the final day, you could have chosen not to list a second choice. If you want to complain, blame the people who applied for more tickets than they needed, reduced the available pool, and then resold them.

What are the people who wrote “the second choice is okay as a last resort” even complaining about?

>424 Here's another person who got dumped into their second choice, passing through. I felt incredibly depressed yesterday, but then I thought of “Maizy” and realized how nice it was that the song was still keeping me company even at a time like this. It felt kind of silly to stay depressed. I'm going to do my best and get tickets for the remaining days too. Don't give up until the very end, lol.

http://www.ticket.co.jp/sys/search.php?com=list&sa=search&ki=&pd%5Bword_txt%5D=garnet+crow&pd%5Bpref_id%5D= Nobody's buying, lol.

>419 In everyday life, that's how you'd see it, lol. Maybe the common sense of people used to going to live shows and the people running them is different.

That weird transaction person on mixi deleted both the thread they made and the ticket-transfer title, but there was a post saying the deal seemed to have gone through. I wonder if the buyer already paid?

420... Yes! I'm the person with the blue flowers. I think I wrote my email address when I joined the FC recently, but... For the last forum, they sent me a confirmation postcard before sending the ticket. Since there's no email this time either, maybe a pass/fail postcard will come? (If the dates overlap, I'll withdraw.) By the way, the Musing ticket I got for Osaka opening night (on a different phone)... I didn't get an email for that either, so I had to check it myself...

>432 If you listed only your first choice, you're guaranteed in. Congratulations. Still, check with the result postcard just to be safe, lol. They say the postcard will be sent on Tuesday, April 23, so it should arrive sometime next week. I feel like the FC won't register you unless you email them directly. That was how it worked for me, lol. You didn't get an email from Musing either? That's weird, lol.

I can only go to Tokyo, so I only listed Tokyo.

I mean, a light like something between the clouds... and the wind answering as wind (a thousand winds)... the clouds as clouds... if snow (out of season) answers as snow, and rain... storms... that's fine, but... If an earthquake is the answer, then it's not German Romanticism anymore, is it? It's horror, isn't it? Is the energy source jealousy? A curse? Resentment? Jupiter was after the fact, but MÄR Heaven was precognition. ...Am I crazy? During 9/11, a few days beforehand my boss gave me a medal, and it's still in my locker at work. ...(It says “New York” on both sides.) It didn't feel strange at the time because gambling was common at my workplace...

Start by learning the language. (A reminder.)

I love the flow of the last three songs on “Memories.”

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

I wonder how many people Grand Cube Osaka holds.

A “yeah” as hot as “Zawameki.” >439 Around 2,700, I think.

>440 They could've done it at a slightly bigger venue.

>441 Festival Hall holds around 2,800. The only bigger place in Osaka after that is probably Osaka-jō Hall.

Apparently ALFEE is using Festival Hall on June 8 and 9.

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

I came here from Yahoo Chiebukuro. Is the hidden-child thing for real? I'm so shocked I feel sick.

I figured I wouldn't be able to get tickets since I'm a general applicant, but I successfully got Osaka opening night through the Musing presale. I'm going to apply for the final show through the Pia presale, but surely I'll lose that one... People said it would be a fierce battle, but it looks pretty easy except for the final show.

Is this the thread where the losers who listed a second choice and lost the final show come to bark?

If I apply through Pia now, the FC tickets will still get better seats, right? There's no way they'll wait until every winner is decided and then draw the seat order all together, right?

>445 The claim that the kid is five years old sounds like a lie.

>404 The number of FC members is different, lol.

There are first-come tickets for Osaka-jō Hall too. Apparently TVXQ is using Osaka Dome too.

>448 Pia and Loppi will probably be second-floor seats.

>452 Thanks. Would I be able to see from closer up if I bought from someone who bought through the FC and has a spare...? But I won't know what seats they'll be willing to transfer, so I'm torn.

Poop.

For the final live, forget Lonely Light. I want them to use this for every song. ↓ The possibility of next-generation penlights http://zasshi.news.yahoo.co.jp/article?a=20130419-00000355-oriconbiz-ent

>445 Seriously. There really is one in a kindergarten in Osaka City.

>456 When did she give birth? There was never any period when she had a belly.

She's old enough. What's wrong with having a kid?

You can make do with stockpiled jacket photos and stuff. I did feel like her lyric style changed at some point. I don't know whether it was because she had a child, but if she's happy, what's the problem? Actually, when I started wondering whether she's done her “park debut” and all, I found it kind of cute, lol.

I want her to write books for children to read. Nana-san's daughter must be absolutely beautiful...

After the final live, I bet the Yuri-Nana duo will live quietly, like Miho Komatsu.

Gane was as mysterious as Komatsu in its early days too. I wonder why they changed direction.

>462 Maybe they ran out of material on the same route. They tried changing direction, but then ran out of material again.

I feel like they changed once they started doing live shows.

>456 The kid going to that kindergarten in Osaka must be the third one, right?

>456 Source?

How many kids does she have, anyway? lol

There are seven.

Azuki Seven.

AZUKI SEVEN Super Lights.

I'm looking for a ticket to the final show, but Musing didn't work out. I've applied through the Pia presale. Is Loppi over already?

If you don't care about the seat, you can buy a final-show ticket at auction for 20,000 yen, right?

>473 Depends on how many get listed, doesn't it? If there aren't many, it'll easily go higher. There probably won't be many general-sale tickets to begin with.

There seem to be quite a few extras on Mixi.

>455 That budget is impossible, lol.

>437 Which part do you like?

I have Osaka opening night. I'm debating whether to apply for the final show.

The words that make you cry, I'll kiss them one by one, gently hold your shoulders, and make you forget it all, tonight. I feel like crying.

>478 It's the last one, so let's apply for it anyway. If you don't go, I'll buy it off you, lol.

Isn't there anything cheerful to talk about...?

Does Yurippe have a hidden child too? ...That's what it means to play a card. I seem to have built up some immunity after the last litmus-test moment (I'm deliberately not listening to the songs right now). ...If something shocking happens, is an earthquake your friend? ...Come to think of it, was that NHK story about someone in Tohoku recovering from being a shut-in “because of the earthquake”? ...Everything seems to have two sides. That Akiba person too... someone who wants to die conveniently dying in an accident would be such a convenient reward, but things like that don't happen. ...I'm on Yurippe's side because I keep seeing Minako's face in her.

I also understand deep in my bones why idols aren't allowed to date. On the other hand, the picture of me, a 45-year-old man, wanting a woman in her mid-thirties from a band that isn't strictly an idol group to be a virgin is pretty damn sad too. If Yuming or Miyuki Nakajima had had a hidden child when they were younger, I could send them off saying, “Your mother struggled too, so go be happy as a woman,” but when it comes to Yurippe, I can't bring myself to accept it. Even if she's in her mid-thirties now...

I've only been a fan for two years, and the breakup is so sad that I bought all the DVDs in one go. Yurippe in the early days was cute, with light makeup and still a hint of innocence. But what the hell were those outfits? I just stared blankly. I can forgive the black tracksuit if I give it a lot of leeway, but the sparkly tracksuit, sparkly pajamas, and, worst of all, that outfit that made her look like a snack-bar mama in Osaka—no way~ If Yurippe had worn natural outfits like ELT, I think they'd have sold more (I hate ELT, though). The Osaka stylist's taste was unbelievably bad. Her current princess outfits are tacky too... The songs are good, so it's a shame.

The possibility that the black tracksuit was her own casual clothes.

Maybe they just used her rehearsal clothes as-is. The school festival was like that too.

It's not the stylist. It's her own taste that's the problem.

Ah, I ended up applying for both Osaka days. If I get Sunday, I'll have to take Monday off.

Sparkly clothes, black tracksuit... What does “snack-bar mama” mean? Which DVD is it on...? One of the early ones? Maybe it was to shake up the fixed image people have of the classic songs? ... This is way too much information this late. If I watch it now I'll probably have a reaction like it was porn. Probably better not to watch. It'll lift me up only to drop me straight to rock bottom.

“Yume Mita Ato de” I wonder if Yurippe will be able to sing it properly while holding back everything that's welling up inside her.

>490 Yurippe cried during the best-of tour.

>490 Let's support Yurippe with the call-and-response!

Can you buy spare tickets at the venue on the day from someone in the FC section? I want to watch from as good a seat as possible... Do you really need to be on Mixi?

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

Before the breakup, I wanted to know what they say in the intro to “Nakenai Yoru mo Nakanai Asa mo.”

>495 The ending of “Yuudachi no Niwa” too.

How much merch is everyone planning to buy?

>497 If there's anything I want, lol. I wonder if they're really going to release 10th-anniversary FC merch, lol.

>496 The ending of “Yuudachi no Niwa” is just English, isn't it? But “Nakenai Yoru mo Nakanai Asa mo” is seriously impossible to make out, lol.

ギドゥッドゥッ　ガラッテン　ヨ　ペイショー

>495 Depressed over being flat-chested. TENGA is highly recommended. Yeah, if I can make it to a Japanese city, I found bras and bloomers. Depressed over being flat-chested. TENGA is highly recommended. Yeah, if I can make it to a Japanese city, I found bras and bloomers.

>492 Let's let her cry her heart out at least for the last one. She really wants to continue, but they're breaking up because of downsizing.

You're interpreting the reason for the breakup in a ridiculously self-serving way.

I want Yurippe to aim for Azumi Uehara.

Ten original albums is a nice round number, but 13 years of activity is awkward. I wish they'd made it to 15.

I let my guard down, assuming there'd be a 20th anniversary because they had a stable fanbase.

>504 Hiromi Matsuura would've been better.

>502 Maybe they're breaking up because Yurippe is getting married? Though I do think the company pushed things in the downsizing direction too. Being has a rule that female vocalists have to stay single, doesn't it? lol A lot of them get married right after breaking up or retiring.

Do you think so?

If it's a marriage-retirement, I'm scared June 9 will be the last day we get to see Yurippe.

Give it up already, you guys, lol.

>510 I think Yuri-Nana are retiring. I'll attend thinking of June 9 as their final glorious appearance. Yurippe might register her marriage on her birthday in July, lol.

I hope they keep doing bits and pieces as lyricists and composers.

There is no demand for her as a lyricist, so she's effectively retiring. There is demand for her as a composer, so she'll continue working.

>514 GIZA doesn't have any artists left anyway, Jamaica, lol. And the ones who are there make their own stuff. No demand for lyrics or music.

Can't they work independently? I don't know much about it. Maybe it's not that easy.

>496 “Yuudachi no Niwa” What wanna one? It's the summer rain. When he is calling like. Like the falling love. Look a park in away. Move the shiny away. It's the summer days.

Apparently Takuma Sato just won his first Indy race.

>516 Looking at Being's history, it seems difficult.

>517 Could you do the rap lyrics from “Nakenai Yoru mo...” too, lol?

There's no way Yurippe, who loves music, is going to retire. The Bread Factory is disappearing too, but there are plenty of places where she can sing.

>521 She found someone she loves more than music. I mean, is the Bread Factory disappearing? lol

She was able to work at her own pace relatively speaking and had lots of devoted fans, so I think she had a happy musical life. She sold decently well too.

Is it true the Bread Factory is disappearing?

I contacted G-NET about the lottery for the live tickets this time. To summarize the key points of their response: ・They held a strict and fair lottery for everyone who applied. ・Among the people who lost, those who had listed second and third choices were selected for their second- and third-choice shows. ・There were fewer people than usual who listed only their first choice. I couldn't get them to say things like, “Everyone who listed only their first choice was selected,” or, “There were no people who listed only their first choice among those who lost.” In the end, all they gave me was the same answer written on the back of the priority reservation notice.

Have a kid already, and if it's a girl, debut her and provide songs for her.

There are hardly any presales for the Osaka tickets, huh. General sales don't look very promising either.

>525 Nice work calling them, but even if you call and confront them, they won't tell you the truth.

Nice work, thanks. > Among the people who lost, those who had listed second and third choices were selected for their second- and third-choice shows. Wait, wasn't it only the second choice? Well, the moment they say everyone was selected, it's basically “read between the lines,” I guess. I'm scared GIZA quality will kick in on the day of the live too, lol.

>525 How long are you going to keep dwelling on this, idiot?

>525 You're way too persistent, lol. Idiot.

>508 If marriage was the reason, wouldn't they have made the March tour's stage like last year's? This year's stage setup was obviously inferior to last year's. There were three mirror balls in Tokyo last year, but only one this time, and the members only had two outfits. They raised the price compared to last year, so I expected more and was disappointed about that. And despite making it standing-room to fit more people in, everything except the final show still had tickets left...

Why does “trade” sound so terrible?

Who knows?

“P.S GIRL” and “Kagami ni Mita Yume” are way too good.

http://www.ticket.co.jp/sys/search.php?com=list&sa=search&ki=&pd%5Bword_txt%5D=garnet+crow&pd%5Bpref_id%5D= Is the last live really 30,000 yen per ticket...?

Doesn't “P.S GIRL” sound kind of like “Ultra Soul”?

>536 Seriously? Glad I got mine through the FC.

Did you give up thinking 30,000 yen is still not so bad? lol

P.S GIRL = Kaze to RAINBOW + Issho ni Kurasou Kagami ni Mita Yume = Yuuzuki yo + JUDY + Blue Regret

I'm going to masturbate using Yurippe as my material now.

>532 Maybe they cut the budget because there's the breakup live too, so they half-assed it? That company isn't the type to make things lavish just because someone's getting married, lol. Rather than “they're breaking up because she's getting married,” it was probably “the company pressured them to downsize → she wanted to get married and quit → marriage,” right? Maybe that's how the others left too. Was it Kitahara? I think she got married soon after retiring.

>541 Have some old mochi as a side dish.

I thought the final show would be 20,000 yen on auction... but... http://ticket.st/search/artist.php?a=63&d=2013-06-09&p=%E5%A4%A7%E9%98%AA%E5%BA%9C

>506 I was watching this thread too and let my guard down, thinking they'd be fine because they had a stable fanbase. >544 Maybe they didn't sell that well, so prices will drop as it gets closer. Musing presale tickets for Osaka opening night were easy to get, and I don't think that many people will pay 30,000 yen to go.

Looooool.

The Tokyo Memories show went over 60,000 yen at auction, so if the seats are good, I think the final show could go even higher. FC tickets don't arrive until about two weeks before the show, so prices will go crazy from then, lol.

>545 You get a terrible seat → you want to see the last show from a good seat → front row is 100,000 yen?? → Well, it's the last one, so... click.

I'm a general applicant, but anyone who's in the FC probably already has a ticket, and people who aren't members probably won't pay more than the regular ticket price plus maybe 10,000 yen. Since it's the last live, I figured around 20,000 yen with the extra 10,000 added.

Kis-My-Ft2 tickets go for more.

Don't compare them to Johnny's.

Sometimes I think, “If they weren't with GIZA...” and other times I think, “Because they were with GIZA...”

If it weren't for GIZA, this band wouldn't exist, lol. These people are nothing but the GIZA way of doing things.

>552 Same here, lol.

What a cheesy thread this has turned into.

I do wonder what would've happened if they'd stuck to the mysterious-person image like Komatsu the whole time... They might have been deified and attracted fanatical followers. Maybe someone would've killed themselves after learning about the breakup, lol.

Music only matters if people listen to it.

In fact, it's extremely rare for an athlete to become a champion without using drugs that produce an enormous boost in power. There have even been fighters who came to consult the president of a company that makes banned drugs. The loopholes for getting past tests are almost completely established, so the tests are practically meaningless. And with organizations like the WBA and WBC, which have far more Americans and athletes coming up from the amateur ranks—where drug contamination is especially bad—the contamination rate is much higher than in local organizations. “If you're an athlete, you can generally tell which athletes are using and which aren't.” Incidentally, speculation isn't good, but when I first saw Floyd Mayweather's build and movements, I did think, “Is this athlete a steroid user?” (laughs) Sorry for the digression.

>553 There he is. Write another long lecture, seven or eight lines like before. Everyone's irritated, so maybe they'll fuss over you while grinning.

They probably lasted so long because Weekly Shonen Sunday was there to support them.

MAR Detective Conan ARMS Monkey Turn

>559 Fine, I'll add to it for you. Some people say Nakamura should work for another company, but give it up. There's absolutely no way. What other company would hire talent below amateur level like this, lol? Do Nakamura and Azuki really think they're employed as artists? Obviously not. GIZA just forcibly fabricated them into artists. Don't get that confused, you GIZA otaku.

I'm new here. Which of the four are you all fans of? Who's the most popular? I think Nakamura's voice is truly one of a kind, so I became a fan of Nakamura.

>563 Who am I a fan of? I'm a GARNET CROW fan.

She does kind of look like Teruko Hino.

>563 Do you think anyone became a Gane-Cro fan because they like old mochi?

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

>566 There obviously are.

>549 Don't underestimate idol otaku, lol. They don't go to live shows to see the show. They go to see the idol. If they can see her up close, they'd throw away the ticket they already have without a second thought.

>569 Yurippe and Nana aren't idols, though, lol. I don't think many people in this thread would pay that much for a ticket either.

At first I just enjoyed the music without even knowing how many members there were.

>566 I became a Gane-Cro fan because I like Old Man.

I think the members are pretty good-looking, but that's just a bonus. Most people probably became fans because they were drawn to the songs and the voices, right?

I thought about applying through Ticket Pia, but then I realized I don't have a credit card.

Why isn't there a Nagoya show? This shitty band. That's why they're breaking up.

People in Nagoya are stingy, so they don't buy much merch.

The rumor that Gane is an Osaka band was news to me too. Until I got close to them, I thought they were a stylish, downer-type Tokyo band. I've lived in Osaka for 45 years and love music, and I still listen to Kansai AM, FM, and TV, but I've never heard Gane played, let alone on heavy rotation. I haven't seen them as TV guests either... Well, from around 2000 I was putting more weight on Akiba-type stuff too. Was it Negima in the end? ...But they had lots of tie-ins, so maybe I just missed them whenever I happened to be watching? ... And when I actually saw Azuki-san at a live show, she was speaking hardcore Osaka dialect and didn't match the jacket image at all. Was she like that from the time they debuted?

Weren't you saying you weren't going to post anymore?

>575 If it's Nagoya, you can take the Kintetsu and go there and back in a day. >577 Yeah, that's right.

>575 Don't be greedy. You can take the Kintetsu back from Nagoya, can't you? I'm going from Fukuoka to Osaka, you know.

578... I'm going to keep posting since I'm turning this into a Gane-friend thing. I just Googled Being and looked at its Wikipedia page, and I'm starting to see the whole picture. Yurippe really is some huge star totally out of reach... ...The story about having an Osaka headquarters but effectively operating with two headquarters is pretty common. ...I had always thought the publishing and music industries were 100% Tokyo, so I assumed Hills Bread Factory was just a Tokyo branch for events two or three times a year. About the cherry blossom story at the Horie show that Furui mentioned... for me, everything to the left of Yotsubashi-suji is a blank.

Someone who can't even keep a promise he made himself obviously isn't going to be taken seriously. That's why he's 45 and still a single, virgin, uncircumcised errand boy.

There are still so many things people don't know. I thought I knew about Osaka and music, but my knowledge is way too lopsided. So, this “fashionable Horie” thing I've been hearing about for the last what, 10 years—is it something Being created? I used to hear Psychic Youth Group talk about Being's glory days and behind-the-scenes stories, but I was never really interested... I still drive along Yotsubashi-suji, Naniwa-suji, and Nagahori-dori all the time... I had a workplace near Yotsubashi Station about 15 years ago, and I remember thinking there were an absurd number of people carrying guitars. People asked me for directions too. I assumed it was demand from the Amerikamura side, but was it the other way around? (Big Step, or Fanj Twice these days?) Back then I thought Horie Park was a shitty little park, even worse than the park in front of the old Koseinenkin Hall. Is it on the level of Utsubo Park?

As expected of Yurippe, she sees everything. A manager and a rank-and-file employee are different, you know. Exactly the same story as Minako. Maeterlinck's “The Blue Bird” was actually nearby. Was failing to find “Nadja,” hidden behind Ojamajo Doremi and Precure, the same mistake I made when I was on the anime side? Was Yurippe in Osaka too? But Being is declining, and the music industry is in a recession. Reorganization (integration)... Before getting married or going abroad, they should at least move the headquarters functions to Tokyo... Is Yurippe going back to Tokyo too? When I wasn't interested, Yurippe was in the same city of Osaka, but once I became interested, the blue bird flew away. ...But I'm emailing calmly now. I can't do it today or tomorrow, but on a day off when I'm feeling well, I'll go check out this “Horie Park.”

Are there any DVDs you'd recommend for preparing for the live? I own all the albums on CD, but I've only watched the official website's live footage.

Back then I often went shopping with coworkers too, from the Yotsubashi side to the new Naniwa-suji? or to the supermarket on the Naniwa-suji side... I remember Tachibana-dori, the furniture street, pretty well, but maybe I'm mixing up the streets. Was there really such a neat park with cherry blossoms 15 years ago? Well, this is what you might call an expedition through my memories. That's the end of my consecutive posts for now.

>585 For preparation, probably the most recent Memories Tour DVD. The vibe in the early days was pretty different from now.

That was fast! Thanks. I'm ordering it now.

I want them to nail the final show in tracksuits!

Furui-san is the most fun to watch live. The gap between his seemingly cool, mature image and how wild he gets live is great.

Some people are saying that anyone who listed a second choice is an idiot, but the precautions said that people who listed only their first choice were within the lottery pool, while in reality they were excluded from the lottery. Of course people are going to criticize them for not even following the rules they made themselves. If the “consideration” was wanting all the fans to attend, then it wasn't a lottery anymore.

GIZA's excuse: Thank you very much for your continued warm support of GARNET CROW and this fan club. Thank you for your thoughtful reply email. Regarding your inquiry, as we replied on April 20, as a result of conducting a strict and fair lottery among everyone who applied, those among the unsuccessful applicants who had listed second and third choices were selected for their second- and third-choice shows. As this is GARNET CROW's final performance, many people listed second and third choices. In other words, fewer people than usual listed only their first choice, which resulted in the lottery outcome we have today. We also received the opinion that we should send a correction email to all members, but after consulting within the fan club, we decided not to do so because it might cause even more confusion among members than there already is. Thank you very much for sharing your opinion.

How many people do you think coordinated with friends and applied using only their first choice?

>585 10th Best Live Tour. If you also have “Mawarimichi,” “Lonely Night,” and the live [DVDs] covered, then you're not just at Red Cliff—you're perfect.

>593 My bad. We applied thinking one of us would get it, but both of us ended up selected.

>595 For the sake of the people who lost the lottery, please don't let the extras go to waste.

>594 Thanks. There are quite a few songs that should get the crowd going live. Can't wait.

Anyone in the Pia group? It says from 6 p.m., but do we still have to wait? Even though I know it's probably hopeless, I want the result to come soon, lol. This is bad for my heart.

Isn't Pia on Friday? What if I didn't get it...

I'm talking about Tokyo... If I lose this one, I'll be ready to apply for Osaka opening night.

I wonder how much they'll milk us after the breakup.

>590 During “Spiral” on the best-of DVD, I wonder what Furui was saying to Azuki-san and Ohashi-san while playing the keytar. Maybe something like, “You coming to the after-party?”

I wonder if music freak es will publish a mook.

I've set aside a month's salary for this, including the final live. I'm buying the merch set I've always dreamed of this time too. Go ahead and exploit me.

I wish they'd release that JGM compilation they took down. Whether I buy the complete set depends on the bonuses for now. Honestly, I'm traveling from far away, so if that expensive, bulky Kuma thing is included, I won't be able to carry it home, and whatnot, lol.

I'm going from Osaka to the Tokyo show. How much should I budget? The Shinkansen is pretty expensive, right...

I'm going from Fukuoka to Osaka. How much should I budget...?

I wish they'd put out a mook covering their 14 years of activity and unreleased stories.

>595 Could you maybe let one go?

Where's 80.1 already?

>607 I'll take a night bus both ways and use the money to buy merch.

The postcards are being mailed today, right?

Which live DVD do you recommend, 2008 or 2009?

>600 Osaka is a wonderful city overflowing with human warmth. Come on over without worrying.

>606 >607 By Shinkansen: Shin-Osaka to Tokyo on the Platt Kodama: 10,000 yen one way. Hakata to Shin-Osaka on the Super Hayatoku ticket: 10,000 yen one way. LCCs (low-cost airlines like Peach and Jetstar): Kansai Airport to Narita: about 6,000 yen as of April 23. Fukuoka to Kansai Airport: about 4,000–6,000 yen as of April 23. Highway buses: Prices vary by operator, starting at 3,000 yen. I don't recommend four-seat rows. Bring earplugs and things like that. Travel time: Tokyo–Osaka: Kodama Shinkansen: 4 hours. Plane: 1 hour plus the time to get to the airport. Bus: 8–10 hours. Fukuoka–Osaka: Shinkansen: 2 hours 40 minutes. Plane: 1 hour plus the time to get to the airport. Bus: 8–10 hours.

>613 Personally, 2008. I think it's the best livescope.

>598 I got Osaka opening night through the Musing presale, so I applied for the final show through the Pia presale. I'll probably lose the final show, but if an extra ticket like >595 appears on auction, I might buy it depending on the price. I'm on a business trip tomorrow, so I think I'll listen to the albums in order from the first one while traveling.

>615 The plane is cheaper...? What a time to be alive. Thanks!

You can't really complain if an LCC flight gets canceled, I guess. That's why they're cheap, though.

Looking back, maybe 2008 was the most fun. They had more songs in their repertoire, and Yuri-san and Nana-san were still so beautiful... I never imagined they'd break up.

After spending it all, I still can't say it all~♪

>621 If not for that, 2008 was the best! The old mochi, the sax guy, Ikeda-sensei... they were all amazing! There was a real power to how she sang “Holy Ground” all the way through perfectly too.

The best-of is coming in a month... They've released way too many best-ofs... I'll buy it anyway. I wonder what the setlist will be like.

The orchestra conductor's gestures look like an okama.

I seriously want to have sex with Nakamura-san. What am I supposed to do...?

>625 You, seriously, enough already. I've reported you to the management, and I've had them investigate your IP address and identify your address and name. You'll also be facing damages for slander, so prepare yourself.

Wednesday, June 19: The long-awaited second single “Natsu no Taiyou no Sei ni Shite” is set for release! What will happen to the dangerous “summer” romance that Natsuiro expresses over a refreshing digital dance tune? It has a slightly dangerous scent to it! Second single “Natsu no Taiyou no Sei ni Shite” 1,050 yen including tax Catalog no.: GZCD-7004 1. Natsu no Taiyou no Sei ni Shite Lyrics: Yoshimi Yamazaki, Yuto Niina　Composition: Aika Ohno　Arrangement: Takeshi Hayama 2. Just Going My Way Lyrics: Yoshimi Yamazaki　Composition: Kana Kitagawa　Arrangement: Takeshi Hayama 3. Natsu no Taiyou no Sei ni Shite (instrumental) 4. Just Going My Way (instrumental) And on Wednesday, July 24, the second full album, “Summer Spur,” is already set for release!!! It's a summer must-have packed with pop tunes overflowing with “summer”!

>626 That's impossible, lol.

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

I want Yurippe to keep singing. It'd be nice if she could provide songs too, like Aika Ohno. Looking at the wiki, she hasn't provided many songs, but they're all good.

I want her to show off a swimsuit at least on the final day.

>617 >598 It depends on whether my friend's friend is going, so I'll let you know if we have extras. If we do end up with extras, the price can just be face value.

If I can see Nana-san at most three more times, and I've devoted more than half my life to her, how am I supposed to live now?

Posting again? ...Confession time... Am I being incoherent today? Ah, this is a one-off, but Atsumi Saori's “Mou Sukoshi~Mou Sukoshi” reminded me of “Days of Midori.” That was another Minako-style precognition thing... I think? The embodiment of a spirit in the hospital room was in her boyfriend's right hand? Was it a few days or a month before she died? Around 1 a.m.? I was driving back to the parking lot and then walking home normally, and there was a flower bed, so I almost pulled one out, but it's a main road with cars even at night, so I stopped. Trying to masturbate with a flower, of all things. I thought that would be the first and last time... But I had a previous incident. About 19 to 16 years ago? When I went to Okinawa, I took a bus to Himeyuri Tower to kill time.

At the cafeteria I kept ordering things like goya champuru and guava juice, and the server, an older woman from the Kyan area? started talking to me. (I think it was in the direction opposite Itoman.) It was a little into the brush. Everyone goes to the government-run Himeyuri unit in a group by bus, but she said this was a private Himeyuri unit? I think. She told me nobody ever goes there, so I should go pay my respects. I didn't think deeply about it at the time. I made a convenient, simplistic connection, and figured I had two things covered: they died tragically, and they died as virgins. Long story short, I “offered” semen, and somehow I came immediately without any material. Could that be the cause of today's troubles too? Yurippe must have sensed the aura of a dangerous person like this right away, judging by those claw marks of distance and everything. I'm done. This was Blue Flower. Over.

>624 You mean Daisuke Ikeda?

In Minako's case it was a white flower like a morning glory, and it was late at night, so was it a moonflower?... The image was a facial ejaculation... Was I a fish in a past life? Back then white triggered an unusually strong reaction in me. Even when I see the same species of flower now, I wonder if, in that moment, the sick person and I were perfectly in sync. ?... Ah. Besides the prediction with the New York medal, there was also this: when Beck's “Sexx Laws” started at Summer Sonic, sand suddenly began swirling up and to the upper right from the audience side. The WTC and the sand overlapped... It was so obvious. The first and second floors of the WTC were rest areas for young people, and everyone was slumped over. At the time, when I went to Uozaki Junior High during the Kobe earthquake, I felt the same thing. (I was secretly there to sightsee, which was bad on the surface, so I took a backpack full of garbage bags and hand warmers they said were lacking, as a gift.) That's the end. Ah, what a relief.

>630 No way. There are already too many composers like Ohno and Tokunaga. And the people there mostly write their own stuff. It's retirement, sad to say. If you keep expecting something weird, you'll end up like Miho Komatsu.

>632 What else would it be besides face value?

Composers peak in their twenties too, you know. Ohno's early songs were god-tier, but her recent ones aren't anything special.

I thought we'd meet again someday. It was only a short goodbye.

Terao writes the compositions in place of Yurippe.

The enemy is within ourselves. You realize that, right?

I wonder if they'll have saxophones and strings at the final live.

Found some Bakatter accounts related to GARNET, lol. @fujimaru0328 @ayaya12191 @aqua_xx @stsq4_cz @cocorokurenai74 @lumirpositive @FeatherSheep @yurippekoesuki @g_suesue @garnetcrow0724 @Naivecrown @miimirion http://mirion.blog.so-net.ne.jp/ They keep repeating this gross “Please spread the word” stuff: “I can't forgive the ticket scalpers and bidders on Yahoo Auctions! We have to uphold justice and report them! (Pretty much verbatim.)” It seriously creeped me out.

Are they introducing themselves as people who can't learn from other people's mistakes and correct their own behavior?

The flame war with @happon_gc this afternoon was honestly hilarious, lol. Those people have way too much free time.

>646 Nice self-identification, lol.

Some of those people aren't here too, are they?

I really don't care about Twitter, mixi, or Being's behind-the-scenes gossip. Posts like >625 are still better.

>647 Happon is a lunatic.

I want to ram my dick deep into Yurippe's vagina and spray the thick semen I've stored up for a week toward her cervix.

I got the FC ticket for the 9th!!

The vector of correctness changes so easily~ Is this the only lyric with math-and-science terminology in it?

Sirius-kun is freaking out, lol. There sure are a lot of creepy GARNET CROW fans.

Die?!

>654 What about “Seita Hanno”?

>657 “Seita Hanno”... Which lyrics was that again? lol “Genes” is a science term too, I guess.

>658 “Kaze to RAINBOW.”

>659 Thanks. “Tears can flow too, this latest system—it's a biological reaction created by probability.” These lyrics are pretty wild. Amazing, lol. There are equations in “nonsense” too, so maybe Azuki-san is surprisingly science-minded.

The only song with crows in it is “Kakurenbo,” right?

“over blow” is pronounced “tori,” but the character used is 烏, crow.

A Rembrandt painting showed up on Oja Map.

I thought a chain equation was a science term too, but apparently it's a term from logic. Euler's chain equation is to blame. I love “Natsu no Owari no Nagai Ame.”

You'd be wasting it if you didn't learn to use a well-made program. Is a program a math-and-science term too? I admire these lyrics every time I see them.

>660 I don't think stuff like that would come up unless you studied automata and information processing. Maybe they know a systems engineer or something.

Is the source for “Kaze to RAINBOW” Dick's “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

http://www.ticket.co.jp/sys/search.php?com=init&ki=2031&st=20130609

Happon, lolllllllll.

What if I sell the FC ticket I currently have for 50,000 yen, then buy back a good front-row seat on the first floor once the seats are known?

50,000 yen might be pushing it. There's definitely going to be someone willing to gamble on it, lol. It doesn't really matter at this point just because the seat is close, though, lol.

I want to turn into a vibrator and enter Yurippe's vagina.

>666 That escalated way too far.

They should sell Nana-tan's Lara cosplay photo book as quickly and urgently as possible.

>632 Good. If there are extras, I'll buy one at face value plus shipping. I'll send an extremely long review and thank-you letter after the live.

The lyrics of “Kaze to RAINBOW” are based on the Tin Woodman from “The Wizard of Oz.” The title is based on “Over the Rainbow,” whose Japanese title is “Niji no Kanata ni.” Conclusion: Yurippe is Dorothy.

I want to get rich with Yurippe.

Nana-san draws lyric material from every direction. Amazing. She chooses words you never see coming, which makes the lyrics even harder to make out, but that's what makes them good, right?

That's going too far. Apologize to Yurippe!

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

I'm traveling from Fukuoka, so I wanted to buy the final show at auction for around 20,000 yen (the FC moved me to the final show), but that seems impossible...

Good morning, Yurippe.

Happon, die. You've been dissing 2ch way too much.

Anonymous message boards are obviously made to get dissed, dumbass.

I want to pour Nana-san's piss over rice and eat it all slurpily.

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

Anyone who reads sci-fi novels would know what an automaton is. It even shows up in Skyrim.

You learn equations in middle school, after all.

What if GARNET CROW disbands, and Hiroto Furui, AZUKI Nana, Yuri Nakamura, Kurose Katsuichi, and Hitoshi Okamochi form GARNET CLOSE?

>689 As if that would happen. They're being downsized.

>681 Probably around 30,000–50,000 yen at auction...

>683 Happon isn't dissing them, is he? Isn't it the people who got exposed?

People with humanities backgrounds can understand equations and vectors, but even if you know obscure science terms, you wouldn't use them if you couldn't explain what they mean. I mean, there's nowhere to use them, lol.

You have to look up Sagan and Novalis too... It's so stylish. Amazing.

I don't read books, so I have no idea. I barely even know “Kanashimi yo Konnichiwa.” I'm learning a lot. Thanks, Azuki-chan.

I borrowed and read Novalis's “The Blue Flower” from the library, but honestly I didn't really understand what it meant.

Has the ticket letter arrived? It was already mailed, right?

I want to sleep next to Nana-san just once.

I want to part the walls of Nana-san's vagina with my penis.

What are they doing between the end of the live and the contract expiring in October?

The postcard came.

Tickets for June 9 are up on Yahoo Auctions. No idea if they're real, though.

Why assume they're fake? lol But the price won't go up if we don't know the seats.

Do you think the price will go up after general sales end?

I wonder if Grand Cube has any general-sale tickets.

Looks like there are some for both the 8th and 9th.

People are saying this might be a naked short sale.

>707 There should be some allocation, at least. Every show has one. But for the 9th, it should be pretty small. If you're buying through an auction, now's the time, lol. Once the seats are known, the price might shoot up again.

The official photo changed, lol. It's shockingly vivid, lol. Yurippe looks so dignified~

This one? http://garnetcrow.com/images/top_image_theone.jpg

>710 Nana looks pregnant, lol. Isn't her face puffy?

Are they really going to install a mirror ball that big at the venue?

Apparently they don't know how difficult it is for a woman around 40 to get pregnant.

Why a mirror ball, anyway? When I hear “mirror ball,” I think dance music...

Can we do something about this trend of calling a singles collection a best-of album? Don't call it a best-of when it doesn't even include “Mawarimichi” or “Seichi.”

>713 No problem at all, lol. >714 Yeah, why is that? If that thing is onstage at the end, it'll just be ridiculously in the way.

If a woman around 40 gets pregnant, she'll give birth to a disabled child.

The final production will have the four of them climb inside the mirror ball and roll offstage.

The best-of is complete garbage. It's just the company trying to make money.

It says everyone who applies gets a special movie. Are they going to send us a DVD with the movie on it?

Isn't it a download?

Maybe you enter an ID on the website to watch the special movie.

696... The information is compressed way too much (the poetry has been put through a filter too), so it has become like an encrypted text... After his first lover Sophie died, did he lose his mind and start seeing spirits? Hallucinations? It feels like the author went off the deep end, mobilizing not only scientific knowledge and perspectives but also huge amounts of religious, historical, and occult knowledge, trying to answer questions like, “What is God?”... It was based on some Goethe “Meister” thing, but more poetic... It had an idealistic will to revolutionize the world through poetry, yet it also feels like something still unfolding today... It was written around 1800, but deals with medieval Europe, Egypt?, or some era of the Crusades, and how the two sides could reconcile peacefully... It feels like the author thought about it so obsessively that he got a fevered brain, or maybe God told him, “Don't write any more,” and it ended up unfinished. I guess it couldn't be helped, since he was physically weak while also working as a mining bureaucrat. Before reading the actual text, you have to look up all the words and historical terms to build an image, ruins and all... You shouldn't touch the main text until you've filled in all the background.

>723 Blue Flower guy, you can write, but please make it understandable to ordinary people. And remember your anchors.

>704 Yeah, obviously. If it's already that expensive now, it'll probably get really expensive in the end. And if it's a good seat, it might reach six figures...

I got the postcard from the fan club too. I listed all three choices, first, second, and third, and got June 9. I get to see Yurippe twice. I wonder what state of mind she'll be in both times. Will she break down crying? Be listless? Stay calm? Go pale? Be hyper?

I was only unable to see him because I got a little sick, spent about a month in the hospital, and couldn't meet him. But during that time, he brought another woman into his apartment. As a human being, he must never be forgiven. Hell exists precisely for people like that. If I'm going to hell, that guy is definitely going to hell too. When I finally got well enough to call him, I heard a woman's voice on the other end, and he seemed like a demon in human form. Chisato Akiyoshi

Competent people are more likely to cheat.

That mixi person... what the hell is wrong with him? There's a limit to how shameless you can be, lol. Are everyone else deliberately dissing him? [47] April 25, 2013 10:42 Torotoro (multi-poster) If anyone is willing to give away two Tokyo-show tickets for free, please message me. I can't pay due to circumstances, but I will pay postage and handling if they're mailed.

Nobody's stupid enough to give away tickets for free, lol.

Come on, somehow.

I usually buy the CD before going to a live show, but it's not cheap on Amazon and there are no new songs, so buying it at the venue is fine. I'll still make the deadline for the giveaway entry. I hope it comes with a poster, but maybe there won't be any pictures of the members?

>720 Probably the usual format... It'll disappear once the viewing period ends, won't it? (´；ω；｀)

>709 Hey, it hasn't been updated! http://i.imgur.com/ZyvLapS.jpg

I'm worried because the letter hasn't arrived. Please let it come tomorrow...

>734 How old is that? lol Nostalgic...

Not a big deal, but I wish they'd put “Kaze to RAINBOW” on Disc 3.

Speaking of the GARNET CROW website, I think of the escalator.

I miss that red escalator from the early days.

>737 Put “Kaze to RAINBOW” on Disc 3 and “Crystal Gauge” on Disc 2, and it'd feel just right.

Exactly. One section ending with “Spiral,” and another section ending with “Maboroshi”— that would be a proper best-of.

http://i.imgur.com/1ZqohZr.jpg Is this what you mean?

If a front-row ticket gets listed, I'd probably pay 200,000 yen. You get to see Yurippe's crying face, and you might even end up on the DVD.

>742 It's so nostalgic I could die.

If I buy a general-sale ticket now, which route gives me the best chance? No auctions.

If you can't spend the money, give up.

I'm betting on Yahoo Auctions.

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

You'll just have to try them one by one in order.

>745 Loppi.

Nana-san's smile on the official website looks sad to me...

It is kind of a lonely smile.

The letter arrived. What a relief.

I should probably book the Shinkansen or plane to Tokyo soon. The 28-days-before early-bird discount is about to become unavailable. What time does the merch go on sale?

>750 Does sales start at midnight on the 27th?

Various things... I want to tell you to look some of this up yourself, lol. Tickets usually go on sale at 10 a.m. For merch-sale times, use the last live as a reference. I think it was 3 or 3:30 p.m., lol. Also, if you go to a Ticket Pia counter and line up first, you might get one. Some places have several PCs, but usually only the first terminal is fast. If you're first in line, you still have a chance. But lots of other shows go on sale at the same time, so there will be plenty of other people too. You may have to be prepared to line up overnight to be first. It'll be rough if it overlaps with Johnny's or something, lol. The other option is to find an under-the-radar ticket counter. That's about all I can say. Good luck, lol.

Are the Ticket Pia presale and general-sale tickets mostly bad seats, like second-floor seats?

The second floor has a wider view, so personally I like it better than the back of the first floor.

I lost.

I lost Osaka again. What am I supposed to do?

I got the final show through Pia. It's the very back row of the second floor, but I'm happy just to be able to go. I'm already about to cry.

Oh nooo, I checked and I lost~ Uncle is shocked~ I was planning to resell it~

Yep, I lost after all. I don't want to pay more than face value, so I guess I'll give up. I wish they'd do a live viewing, but that's probably impossible...

I wonder if they'll stream it on Niconico or Ustream.

For the final album, will “Kimi no Ie...” be the indie version and “Natsu no Maboroshi” the secret arrange version?

Lost the Pia presale for Osaka on June 8... orz I don't feel like I'll be able to get one through general sales either, but I guess I'll bet on this last hope.

Does Tokyo really not have much demand?

I lost Tokyo too.

44 days until GARNET CROW breaks up.

Are the people talking about Pia now the ones who weren't in G-NET?

Tokyo sold out instantly.

I want to part Nana-san's vaginal walls with my penis.

I lost both Osaka shows. Good grief.

>770 No, no. I'm in G-NET, but since it's the last one, I wanted to go to all of them... Am I being greedy?

If they sing “Yume Mita Ato de,” let's all do the call-and-response and get the place fired up♪

I'd cry if they sang “Kagami ni Mita Yume” live.

Nana Nana Nana♥♥♥ ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!

>774 No, no. I got tickets to two shows with a friend, so I temporarily forgot that normally people only get one.

Huh? Come to think of it, where's the newsletter?

Well, it's almost time for Yuriny.

The all-songs medley is hilarious.

The Pia presale tickets listed on Yahoo Auctions are for things like the final show's very back row on the second floor. There probably won't be much left for the final show in tomorrow's general sale either. There are tons of tickets on Yahoo Auctions, but how is it that only ticket brokers get selected while the fans don't...? So I lost every single lottery ;;

The Pia presale sank me (´・ω・`)

Lost the Pia presale for June 9... At least I got June 8 through the Musing presale. Anyway, I'll try applying again tomorrow morning...

General sales for Tokyo will probably be tough too. Are people really going to line up overnight at Pia?

I think it'll be tough for Tokyo and the 8th too, since money-making ticket brokers will come to buy them. I hope even one genuine fan manages to get one. Good luck getting yours~

Sploosh!

I want to defile Yurippe.

I applied five times through the Pia presale using multiple accounts and got one ticket. Looks like you can apply even with the same name and address. They seem to use email and credit cards to filter whether it's the same person. I prepared five credit cards, including my mom's, and got through easily.

Correction: the filter does block the same address too. So, for example: 101 101- Room 101 101 room 101 room If you tweak the address a little like that, multiple accounts are easy too.

I'm angrier at the organizer for limiting the number of shows and not adding more than I am at the scalpers. Maybe the organizer itself is reselling tickets, lol.

If it's GIZA, they might actually do it, lol.

I feel like GIZA is secretly putting posters and stuff up for auction too.

Looks like the thread can make it to part 300. 777, 960, and 1104 probably won't happen, though.

I was sorting through my planner and saw that last year's March 4 entry said “Umeda Arts Theater Main Hall, GARNET” and... I wrote “day off,” but why couldn't I go? Was my boss doing something during that time? Were there no same-day tickets? I can't remember which it was.

I wonder how many Tokyo tickets e+ had in its presale.

I took the first train and made it to my nearest Pia store, but there are already about ten people lined up. I don't think they're all here for GARNET CROW, but the tickets might sell out while I'm waiting. I hate that they're going on sale Saturday...

>797 Isn't it because general sales for Funky Monkey Babys' breakup live are on the same day?

Taking the first train was obviously already too late.

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

I want to go somewhere during Golden Week. Where are the GARNET-related pilgrimage spots?

e+ won't connect anymore lol.

Oh, I meant LoTicket, lol.

Naked short sale ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ ┫:｡･:*:･ﾟ'★,｡･:*:♪･ﾟ'☆━━━!! You guys should give up too(´;ω ;｀)

Ticket Pia won't connect.

LoTicket sold out... orz

I've been trying the whole time too, but I can't connect...

Pia, e+, LoTicket, Seven—all useless.

By the time Pia connected at 10:00:15, the planned number of tickets was already gone, lol.

Just when I thought I got through, it said, “The planned number of tickets has sold out” lolllllllll.

>806 Seriously?!

LoTicket sold out in under a minute. Maybe there was no stock to begin with.

>809 What...?

e+ is sold out too. orz

I wish I could resell one~ lol.

Ahh, it's over.

General-sale tickets are all terrible seats, so they won't sell for much.

I kept trying Pia for about ten minutes, but it never connected once, so I gave up. I might buy the final show depending on the auction price...

>817 Even so, there are probably lots of people who want to go. It is the final day of the breakup live, after all...

I've never managed to connect during one of these ticket battles, no matter how prepared I am. Maybe it's impossible to do it properly as an individual. I wanted to go to the Osaka final, but I got Tokyo in the lottery, so I'll consider myself lucky.

I got one through Loppi (^o^) It's a second-floor seat, but being able to go is better than not getting one, right?

>821 Which day?

>809 Same here. I accessed it right at 10 while listening to the time signal on my phone, and thought everything was going smoothly through the seat-type selection, but the next page said, “This show is not available” lol. The store was obviously a no-go too.

Well, realistically, there was no way to get a seat through general sales... I wonder if they'll release a DVD.

Well, it's the breakup and their final one, so let everyone who's supported the FC for years enjoy it and make it a success!

They'll probably release a DVD of the final day. “A thank-you price of 39,000 yen, packed with 13 years of gratitude!”

I got the Osaka second day, so I thought I'd get the first day too, but no chance. There are more and more listings on the auction sites, so the price will probably climb quite a bit.

Disbanded.

Should I get Osaka day two through an auction or not? That's the dilemma.

Yahoo Auctions is nothing but Osaka final-day and Tokyo tickets. I wonder if the scalpers didn't get many Osaka opening-night tickets.

I don't want to buy a scalped ticket, so I guess I'll wait for the DVD.

If this is how it was going to be, wouldn't a dome or arena have been better?

Scalpers piss me offーー!! But even the scalpers mostly have second-floor seats. GIZA could've taken a bigger risk and picked a larger venue.

>833 If they still had the room to take risks, they wouldn't have broken up.

>834 Yeahー... Ah, Gane really is breaking up. Ahh, or rather, ah...

I couldn't get Osaka opening night. The first live show I ever went to was GARNET's first Osaka show. I wanted to conquer the whole tour, first and last time... Has the time finally come to resort to auctions...?

I went to my cousin's wedding and, for some reason, AZUKI-san was there. I said, “I'm a fan,” and she shook my hand. ...That's the dream I had (´・ω・`)

I miss the time I high-fived the members at the FC event. Azuki-san was surprisingly friendly, and her breasts were pretty full too.

I got Osaka day two through the Pia presale, so I thought I'd get day one through general sales... No chance.

I lost every lottery, and the general-sale phone line kept saying sold out, so I'd completely given up. But when I called LoTicket after 11, I managed to buy two Tokyo tickets! I have no idea how terrible the seats will be, but I'm going to pick them up now. If you haven't gotten one yet, you might still be able to get one right now.

>750 >756 Thanks. I got a ticket from Seven by luck.

If everyone died, everyone would be happy, huh.

>842 Don't cry.

>842 If you die, you don't have to go, after all.

Don't make bomb threats or anything.

>838 Same here (＾ω＾) As a Nana-san fan, I was really happy. What stuck with me was her shy smile(?) when she shook my hand. Nana-san has a great figure too. I saw her up close in Tokyo on March 30, and she was wearing high-top sneakers(?) at the encore, which made her already-long legs look even longer... I joined the general-ticket battle but got crushed, orz. I registered for the cancellation waitlist just in case, but the odds are probably slim...

The auction listings are all the same second-floor Fj seats. They were going for 30,000–40,000 yen this morning, but now they're at 60,000–70,000. Too many people who failed general sales are flooding the auctions.

I wonder how many people will kill themselves because GARNET CROW is breaking up.

I have two Sunday tickets. Would anyone want to exchange one for a Saturday ticket? I'm not looking for offers here.

Fj is the very back row, and it's 70,000 yen? lol

>849 You'd probably find someone quickly on Mixi. I didn't expect Tokyo to be this hard either~ If only every show sold this well...

>849 There'd be demand if it were the front row. Anything farther back is crap!!

>841 Oh, congrats! Is it the 9th? Good for you~

Couldn't buy one because of the scalpers...

>840 Seriously? Maybe it's impossible by now. I might call anyway.

I can't buy one because I didn't apply...

>848 Around 100, maybe?

>851 Thanks a lot.

>855 Sometimes tickets that sold out come back on sale because of cancellations or errors. It might be a good idea to check regularly.

CRF GARNET CROW MT in October.

This whole flow feels like it's made for the people listing tickets on auctions, but there should be FC duplicate tickets and people transferring them at face value on Mixi, so I don't think people without tickets need to panic that much. Especially don't buy some crappy seats at a high price.

>850 Are the very back-row seats really selling for 70,000 yen?? I want to come from Fukuoka, but with transportation it would cost 100,000 yen, so I wanted to buy one on an auction for 20,000 yen, though~ The FC assigned me Osaka day one, I lost the Musing lottery, and lost Pia too... I got through to Loppi for general sales today, but they were sold out...

>862 First choice was 6/9 and second choice was 6/8, so you ended up getting 6/8, huh. That's the punishment for being greedy! Serves you rightｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Why will people transfer them at face value on Mixi?

Because that's the local rule of that topic, is all I can say. It also seems like buying and selling there often leads to arguments. I took a quick look, and it's just people asking to be given tickets…… There might still be a chance if it's an exchange, but who knows.

There are a lot of payment scams on Mixi, so if you pay upfront at face value, they can delete their account and just ghost you. I got scammed at a concert last month: I paid 10,000 yen upfront for two tickets w

You got scammed and just took the loss?

Sometimes the package arrives, but there are no tickets inside, just a scrap of paper or something.

>868 But then the sender's address would be exposed, right?

>869 Why?

>869 They can use a fake address or a PO box, or whatever.

I couldn't get a ticket. Can I buy merch without one? In the end, I just want to buy a CD at the merch booth and call it done.

43 days until GARNET CROW breaks up.

>872 At past concerts, you could enter the venue before admission even without a ticket to buy merch, so I think you'll probably be able to buy just the merch this time too. GIZA has no reason to shut out fans like that w

>874 Thanks. I'm still reluctant to let go, but not joining the fan club was my own fault. It was a good lesson, getting to reconfirm just how hopelessly bad my luck is. Guess I'll arrange to take the day off work.

Will there be a fifth MINIQLO? I'd like them to include Yume Mita Ato de, Blue Regret, and Endless Desire.

Are there any gods who won through Pia or E-Plus?

I thought even Tokyo would still have tickets through general sales... What a shame...

Honestly, I feel like there won't be any more songs made as GARNET CROW, not even arrangements.

Did they say somewhere that “Nostalgia” is the last single?

The Tokyo general sale stayed open for over five minutes.

I checked some fan sites to see how people were getting tickets, and it hit me that almost all of them are gone now, even though there used to be so many. I used to check GARNET CROWEST and Being wish☆ all the time, but both links are dead now, which made me kinda sad...

I used to use GAR-NET!! from the fan-site link collection a lot. The only ones still updating now are probably Mori and WORLD. I wonder what happened to the admin of Kareido Scope.

I wonder if the people who made fan sites back then and later closed them or stopped updating are still GARNET fans. The fans who were teenagers back then have probably moved on to something else by now, and maybe don't even know GARNET broke up. Even if they do, they'd probably just say, “Oh, really?”

Exactly. The essence of these guys is “brainwashing by a fake,” right? So once the brainwashing wears off, they're the kind of thing you just say goodbye to immediately.

The enemy lies within you. You must have realized it by now, you who's been fighting alone.

Didn't the fan sites move to Twitter and Facebook after going through Mixi? People who were students back then are working adults now, and SNS is easier than updating a homepage.

Come to think of it, you don't really see fan sites anymore, do you?

The first one I went to was Bob Dylan, for some reason... I remember lining up at the UDO office in Umeda for something right before the Pia Saison system started... Will GARNET be the last live I really put my heart into? I want this long musical life to end already... Fan newsletter? I'm looking at issue 41, though. Cranberries? I remember going to Quattro even though I wasn't interested—what did I mistake it for? I didn't know a single one of their singles... I think I went to Manic Street Preachers too. There was a time when I went to everything. I wish I'd gone to the Memories countdown live. Did they choose the title “Memories” after making up their minds? ...My current fad, danshari, is basically me being totally determined to cut things off. The enemy is instinct-of-self, huh?

I couldn't get a ticket... I want the last live to be released as an uncut Blu-ray.

I wonder if anyone would take me to the Tokyo show. I don't want to rely on auctions.

http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h176319495

I got one in Pia's first-come-first-served sale yesterday, but nobody else has reported getting one, so I'm starting to worry whether I really won.

I wonder what kind of seats the Tokyo show gets through the Musing lottery.

When you win one at a convenience store, the clerk brings the ticket out, right? I don't understand how that works—if nobody at that store won a ticket, what happens to that ticket?

>892 If the quantity is 2, that means 200,000 yen!?

>895 When you pick up the ticket, they give you a number, right? They probably just use that number to print the ticket for the seat that's already been assigned at the store.

>893 You got one. I did mention it above too.

>896 It's 120,000 yen for two, right?

No, that's the price per ticket.

http://ticket.st/search/artist.php?a=63 The auction market price for the final day is 120,000 yen・・・・

>898 I got it wrong—it was the e+ presale.

I got a Tokyo general-sale ticket easily at 7-Eleven first thing in the morning, so I thought there were plenty of seats, but apparently that wasn't the case...

Way too expensive, I'm dyingｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

The scalpers are making bankｗ

>877 The general allotment for the final day was only the two rear rows of the second floor through the Pia Premium member presale.

Yurippe will probably just turn into an ordinary middle-aged woman from here on out, so I don't care about her, but I wanted to see how long Nana-san can keep that beauty of hers.

Yurippe is the one carrying on the legacy of Kyoko Kano. So I think she'll keep shining just as brightly as ever.

I thought she was aiming to become like Katsumi and Sayuri.

I had no idea scalpers were doing business so openly on Yahoo Auctions. It's basically like ticket touting, isn't it?

Even the yakuza have a hard time making a living these days. Apparently there are intellectual yakuza who are strong in economics and IT, so you have no chance against them without a plan.

I don't want to pay scalpers a fortune just to go, so I'll be content with Osaka day one.

At this rate, there might even be empty seats from scalpers' unsold tickets. Good grief...

What was the winning rate like?

Normally there are hardly any scalpers around GARNET CROW, so tickets make their way to everyone. But this time the scalpers bought up so many that a lot of fans were left with nowhere to go. I've been watching Yahoo Auctions constantly. Around 10 in the morning, about 20 tickets were listed. They were selling for 30,000 yen at the time. Around noon, the number of withdrawals suddenly dropped, even though more than half of the scalpers had listings at fairly reasonable prices. I don't know whether they were reported as illegal, plan to relist them later, or moved them to another auction site. Then people who couldn't get tickets through general sales started flooding in, and prices shot up in the afternoon. But that 120,000-yen price was because they were FC tickets where good seats could be expected. I think the crappy seats in the very back were around 80,000 yen. I think more tickets will show up if you wait a while. I can't imagine the scalpers who withdrew them this time will just turn them into scrap paper.

That's completely off the mark. They withdrew the listings because they didn't get the tickets. You can keep watching all you want, but that person isn't going to list them again.

Talking about tickets all the time is boring as hell. Let's talk about the live itself.

Could front-row arena seats reach 200,000 yen? Maybe I should just not go and sell mine instead lol

Maybe it's not a scalper, but someone who bought a four-ticket set selling the remaining two...?

I think they're scalpers—the Yahoo IDs were the same. Maybe the reason so many scalpers jumped in is that the breakup was announced with the media there, making it such a big deal. If they'd announced it quietly like before, maybe it wouldn't have turned into this.

Looking at how empty the last live was, especially Ribafu, maybe even GIZA couldn't have predicted things would turn out like this. With things supposedly stagnant these past few years, I wonder if the scalpers were FC members. If it was just someone who happened to get four tickets selling the extras, that would make sense. Do you think there'll be an added show at this point? If there is, it might cause a riotｗ

Yurippe on the official homepage looks like she has huge boobs. Maybe it's because she's turned completely sideways.

I was planning to join the FC starting in April, and then they broke up... I'm just glad I managed to get a ticket for the 8th. I wonder what the setlist will be like.

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

Prediction for the first song: ○ Mysterious Eyes ○ Kimi no Ie ni〜 △ flying

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

>924 I forget when, but there was a time Yurippe really padded out her boobs, right?

>911 Ah, she might look like Sayuri.

Who were Katsumi and Sayuri again? Were they the people who kept saying “ippai oppai”? (´；ω；`)

I don't have anywhere planned to go, so maybe I'll drive around the neighborhood while listening to “Over Drive.”

Let's play BF3.

There must be some hardcore fans going to both Tokyo and Osaka, all three shows... (´・ω・`)

I couldn't get a ticket for the final day, so I want them to stream it on NicoNico. With real-time comments flowing across the screen and everything.

http://ticket.st/search/artist.php?a=63&d=2013-06-09&p=%E5%A4%A7%E9%98%AA%E5%BA%9C ↑ Looking at this, even Mai Mirai on Mixi probably won't transfer tickets at face valueｗ

>934 There must be tons of them.

Of course. Sell them at face value to you scum?

>935 That'll be 6,000 yen for the viewing fee.

Maybe I'll email them asking for an added show and a NicoNico broadcast. Though I hope they don't put NicoNico comments on the screen at the liveｗ

604 名前: 名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。 Mail: sage 投稿日: 2013/04/28(日) 09:53:45.63 ID: 6zBkaXq80 I'll do my best for Kiyoe-san today too. So you're doing outreach even here, huh.

>848 There are probably dozens of them.

>941 Yes, I am.

I want them to release a band score. Please, GIZA.

It all comes down to whether everyone can fully imagine the worst-case scenario. Then the wounds afterward will be smaller. ...That's what I say, but once I get worked up... the pain afterward stretches out in proportion to how fulfilling the live was. I'm jealous of people who've already gotten tired of hearing about payback. ...Getting punched right at the start and having a funeral-like live, then only starting to recover a little toward the end of the second and final day—that's probably best for your mental health, especially when you think about work the next day... But what if it turned into a Momoe Yamaguchi-style story, with her saying she was three months pregnant... Then years later, deliberately leaking a photo of her, her husband, and their child from overseas, maybe uploading it to a blog... Is Yurippe really that much of a demon? Are you saying you'll take on the role of the demon? That's worse than dead Minako.

If they add another show now, it'll only cause even more confusion. It'd be one thing if they put it between Tokyo and Osaka, but if it's after Osaka, there'll be a riot. A live viewing at Dojima River Forum still seems like the most sensible plan.

>944 I understand that publishing a book would lose money and isn't possible, but they could just sell it as a download.

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to compile all that into data?

I'd rather they hold a live viewing at some venue than do a NicoNico stream. The seats would still fill up.

They wouldn't fill up. Normally, seats on the second floor and higher are at the level where they issue same-day tickets. There's no way they can add another show. You're dreaming too much about NicoNico and stuff.

Will there really be same-day tickets?

With all this fuss going on, how can you even say something like that?

Nakamura: “Pearls before swine, you lot. I don't have any songs left to sing for you.”

I hope they don't do a NicoNico stream or anything.

Even a live viewing would be fine. I want all the fans to share the final moments together.

It seems like they don't consider people who aren't even in the FC to be fans.

If there is an added show, it'll probably be on the 7th. I assume the venue is already booked for rehearsals, but maybe it's too late now.

There won't be an added show.

There are also people who missed out on the final Osaka day through the FC, and even the friends they'd arranged to attend with got pushed to their second choice.

>948 They don't have to release all the songs at once. They could start selling them one at a time. I've been printing out the JUDY piano score that came with Memories and playing it.

>950 Hurry up and make the next thread already.

>960 Even if it's around 1,000 yen per song?

At ZONE's final live, they showed a live broadcast at more than a dozen movie theaters around the country. I want GARNET to do that too.

Yahoo Auctions prices: Tokyo: 15,000 Osaka 1: 30,000, FC: 40,000 Osaka 2: 45,000, FC: 60,000

Who exactly benefits from that information? You're desperately trying to push the market price down even a little, huh.

So I could've gotten Osaka if I'd applied through the FC. I didn't use it because I figured there was no chance anyway. Regrets...

Speaking of Yahoo Auctions, that st_sho Osaka ticket for June 8 looks like it was bought by an ordinary person or fan who accidentally ended up with extras and is reselling them, not a tout. The seat is apparently Fi 50. You're gonna get identified~ Well then, maybe I'll report the seat number to the organizers as an illegal transaction, and go see who ends up sitting thereｗ

To whoever sits in this seat: I'm going to come see your face, so see you thereｗ

>968 If I see someone watching while grinning to themselves, I'll come over and talk to them. Don't get scared and run away, okay?

Two consecutive seats on Tikeryu, non-splittable, are 170,000 yen for one ticket... That's a whole month's salary gone... Rather than buy something like that, I'd rather settle for the second-choice show on the 8th that the FC assigned me and buy a ton of merch. Feels more respectable as a fan.

>968 Maybe I'll go check it out tooｗ

>970 Seeing this stuff makes me think anyone who didn't join the FC really screwed up.

I wonder if Yurippe will turn into someone like Yuki Kajiura too.

I'm not >950, but I'll go make the next thread.

I made the next thread. GARNET CROW part285 http://toro.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1367160323/

>962 If it's 1,000 yen per song, I wouldn't buy it~ I'll just keep figuring them out by ear.

The email from e+ still hasn't come... Has anyone gotten theirs?

>975 Thanks.

>970 Was yesterday's 120,000 yen the peak? Looks like nobody's buyingｗ

I managed to get tickets for Tokyo and Osaka day one, so I guess that'll do... I managed to get tickets for Tokyo and Osaka day one, so I guess that'll do...

>975 Nice work.

Live viewing, huh. Does Dojima River Forum have around 1,200 reserved seats? It's their own property, and it's right near Grand Cube. Even if people can't get into the hall, it might be the perfect way for all the fans to spend the final moments together.

>976 Then they should've done that from the startｗ

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

>979 Once the price gets this high, it all comes down to the seat number.

As usual, there's still no word from Gane radio, the diary, or the staff blog. I wonder if they're not going to update them anymore.

“someone” sounds a bit like “picture,” doesn't it?

If you're booking a hotel in Tokyo, are there any left for under 5,000 yen a night?

>940 Since this is the end, you should send everything you're thinking directly to GIZA as requests. Even if an added show or extra-seat sale isn't possible, they might be able to make a live viewing happen, or at least a live broadcast on NicoNico or Ustream.

>982 Looking at the presale results, it seems like people from the Kansai area won Grand Cube tickets relatively often. There's probably a high chance the lottery prioritized locals to prevent scalping and cancellations. If so, a lot of the people who lost were probably out-of-towners planning to travel there. Making them travel all that way only to watch a live viewing at Ribafu, right near Grand Cube... isn't that kind of cruel? http://ch.441108.com/free/feature/?id=41&hash=7d8ae http://www.au.kddi.com/ftr/internet/live/artist/kenhirai_live.html http://www.helloproject.com/news/1304171900_musume.html A live viewing at movie theaters nationwide, like these, would be ideal. At least movie theaters in the major cities around the country would be ideal.

>979 Ticket Ryū has a 120,000-yen deal going, yo.

When they break up, will there be no next thread either? Noooo!

For the people who lost in the pre-reserve lottery, if general sales get a lot of traffic (maybe?), that might increase the chances of a live viewing too.

They should've used the event hall at Makuhari Messe for Tokyo instead of the International Forum. Though adding 4,000 people would probably be impossible anyway.

If it were a holiday and the final show were in Tokyo, I feel like they could get around 10,000 people.

I still haven't gotten the email saying the end-of-April newsletter will be delayed. Are they seriously planning to issue it on the 30th?! It's not like they need to do anything new with the illustrations or close-up feature anymore.

>995 Get it through your head already: a final show in Tokyo isn't happening. Or are you saying you just can't accept that?

No, it's not about whether it's possible or impossible. It's just a hypothetical.

I saw someone on Yahoo Auctions looking for a companion for the final day. Does the companion have to enter together with an FC member? (´･ω･`?)

>999 It's not a fan event, so you don't have to enter together. If this is post 1000, then in a shocking twist, a typhoon will hit directly, postponing the live—and the breakup will be postponed too!
