Whether it's 100,000 or 1,000,000 yen, to rich people it's like 10 or 100 yen. I guess that means it's worth paying that much.

乙 THE WAY

Mari乙net Fantasia

莫迦の行進乙

It's hot right now, but 120,000 yen for a live that everyone will have forgotten a month after it ends? lol

I bet there are a lot of idiots thinking, “If I can get them to remember my face at the end, maybe I'll have a chance...!” lol

>1 乙ly Stay

Please sell me a final-day FC ticket for 5,000 yen!! Please!!

Are you stupid? That's way too cheap.

乙ver Drive I'm starting to get tired of the ticket talk.

>1 乙り囃子に浮かされひしめき合う

The real problem is that people only write “1 otsu.”

>9 Is that for real?

The auction tickets had reached 200,000 yenｗ

No way.

This is basically speculation nowｗ I thought maybe they were driving up the price to sell tickets on Tikeryu.

The scalpers have completely ruined the atmosphere around the final live. GARNET CROW was supposed to be something sacred. I never wanted to see GaneKro turned into a toy for speculators. What a shame. It's a shame the management has no intention of cracking down on resales. I feel sorry for GaneKro being treated like a toy.

There really are loads of people with money to spare in this world.

The other one was 160,000 yen, though. Both were FC tickets. The buyers were new accounts or had ratings of −1 and stuff.

金黒

Come to think of it, that one with the 98,000-yen buy-it-now price sold immediately.

Prices on Ticket Street are going up tooｗ

>36 The only place the atmosphere got worse was inside your head.

I hope they reunite in about three years.

http://www.ticket.co.jp/sys/d/2031.htm

I wonder if there are fans who got blinded by money and sold their tickets.

140,000 yen is insane. Two weeks ago it was 60,000. Is it going to go even higher?

It just looks like the price is being artificially pushed up. GaneKro fans have never seen anything like this, not even for front-row seats, so I can't help feeling like everyone's being played.

Before, when people had extra tickets, they would pass them on among friends or through Mixi. This time there are probably people thinking, “Maybe I should sell them instead.”

The point is, don't take more tickets than you need in the first place. What a ridiculous situation.

It just means they're worth that much. Poor people are so annoying, always whining out of envy and jealousy.

Front-row seats are going to hit 500,000 yen.

If you sell the companion ticket on Yahoo Auctions, won't they be able to figure out who you bought it from?

>49 It's perfectly normal for me to apply through the FC with the final day as my first choice, and for my friend to apply with Osaka day one as their first choice, then for me to miss the lottery and get Osaka day one as my second choice. That's a right enjoyed by FC members, so there's nothing strange about it. Sure, it would be different if someone were deliberately driving up prices on a ticket auction, but there's nothing wrong with passing on duplicate tickets. It'd be much sadder if the venue were full of empty seats.

When it's an individual seller, that's one thing, but when a dealer is selling, there's always the “possibility” that they're deliberately raising the price by bidding with another ID or shill bidders. Since there are people who want the tickets even at those inflated prices, you could also say it's stranger for a dealer not to raise the price deliberately. It doesn't feel good, but I guess it can't be helped... Even without financial capital (money), if you have plenty of social capital (relationships), you could get lots of acquaintances to apply for Pia presales on your behalf. Even if you have neither money nor friends, as long as you have human capital (skills and knowledge), there's still a chance of getting a ticket. So don't give up if you couldn't get one...

I'm sick of nothing but ticket talk. 　　I'm sick of nothing but ticket talk. 　　　　I'm sick of nothing but ticket talk. 　　　　　　I'm sick of nothing but ticket talk.

>42 That's what the scalper says.

I wonder if the members are laughing at how absurdly high the ticket prices have gotten.

>53 Saying “it's common, so there's nothing strange about it” isn't very convincing.

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

I want to crawl into Yurippe's large intestine, stick my face out of her anus, and feel the dynamism of her farting with my whole body.

“白い空,” “P.S.GIRL,” and “鏡にみた夢” are way too good!

The melody of “鏡に見た夢” is just too disappointing.

They'll probably do “ロンリーナイト” on the final tour too. And glowsticks aside, everyone waving lights together is too idol-like, so I hope they don't do that. If they call themselves a creator collective, they should keep it hard-boiled at least for the last one.

Women are practical and move on quickly, after all. They probably just want to get the final live over with already. Their minds are already on what's next (marriage and stuff), and you guys probably aren't even on their radarｗ

>63 There isn't a person in this world cuter than Yurippe.

I'm starting to see the big picture, but there are still plenty of questions... If Gane is an Osaka band, does that make B'z and ZARD... Osaka bands too? Just because their headquarters are in Osaka...? Speaking of Kansai, Mai Kuraki went to Ritsumeikan, right? What about the actress from Oshin, or figure skater Nobunari Oda? They went to Kansai University... More and more acts from the regions are becoming nationally known, but... In a company that started in Osaka and has a dual-headquarters setup with Tokyo as the main office, Osaka is often just for show. But according to Wikipedia, Being started in Tokyo and has dual headquarters with Osaka, so did they single out Osaka as a “special economic zone”? Horie's real-estate development is certainly something the Osaka mayor would be happy about, though.

Hotaru-machi and Horie are both stylish spots. Even if you say a Tokyo company is like a band of gypsies, full of outsiders... I give them credit for bringing rare-for-Osaka Roppongi-style chic and know-how here, and for putting the money they made from B'z and the like back into Osaka. I used to dislike them, but if I hadn't known “MÄR Heaven,” I probably would've seen them as nothing more than a smug, too-cool-for-school Shibuya/Roppongi-style fashion band. ...Also, those early songs with tough melodies that old guys supposedly like were probably deliberately kept off TV and radio. I don't know whether that was the members' idea or the agency's policy, though...

> If I hadn't known “MÄR Heaven,” I probably would've seen them as nothing more than a smug, too-cool-for-school Shibuya/Roppongi-style fashion band. I'll agree with you for once.

I was shocked when they shoved the word “MÄR Heaven” into the lyrics.

There was a lot going on from “MÄR Heaven” through around “Rai Rai Ya.” The first time I heard them at a Valentine's live at Bread Factory, they really knocked my socks off. Speaking of Valentine's lives, I remember the one they did with Aiuchi and Kuraki. I always wanted them to do a solo show at Budokan someday, but it never happened.

Kansai TV's “Anchor” is doing a feature on Minami-Horie right now... I'll go check it out sometime.

I can't help but cynically speculate that for “MÄR Heaven,” the client told them to put the word in the chorus or something. I don't dislike it, by the way. Anyway, is everyone going to buy “The One”?

There might be a secret track, you know.

I'm planning to buy it at the International Forum.

When I saw The One's cover, I thought it was an album by a different artist.

I think the members were a little embarrassed by the title “MÄR Heaven.” It wasn't included on a regular album, either. It's a good song if you just listen to it normally, but it got a bit of a raw deal.

>75 The two songs “GARNET shopping” and “哀しみのシェオル.”

If they hadn't had tie-ins with Shonen Sunday anime, they probably would've broken up much earlier.

>74 I think the story was that the author openly said they were a fan, so the theme song ended up going to Gane.

Apparently a huge number of CROWs died in Yokohama. Scary.

GARNET shopping brings back memoriesｗ I want to dance to “Mr. holiday” again.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512sQ2EtiyL.jpg

>84 Orange: Okamon Pink: Yurippe Purple: Nana-sama Turquoise: Narcy Something like that.

>84 One of the feathers is on the other side, but this doesn't mean only one person is going to disappear from the public eye, right?

>86 Are you really going to read that much into it?ｗ

>65 This ranking is mostly newer songs—what category is it supposed to be? “la-la-laそれから１・２・３” doesn't get much praise, but I like it so much it's practically my hidden number one.

>88 １・２・３ ← It looked like a kaomoji to meｗ Have they ever played it live? It's sad to think there are songs that will end without ever seeing the light of day.

>32 Apparently it's real. It was on the TSUTAYA website.

And what about the copyright business? Everything outside Yoshimoto and Johnny's—are they still controlling all of it?... Being isn't an exception either, right?... Like, the moment they got investment, Burning took all the distribution rights away from them? From a real-estate perspective too, wouldn't Osaka headquarters, which kept its distance from Tokyo's saturated bubble-era market and entertainment industry, be better?... ...I was mixing up Burning and Being. ...Right, right, on Psychic Youth Brigade they talked about Being's heyday, I think—maybe about Tetsuro Oda, mixed in with stories about B'z and ZARD... “海をゆく獅子” isn't an allegory for the dark side of the entertainment and music industries, is it? Is the shark that eats the marlin down to the bone supposed to be X or something?...

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

>90 “逆襲のブライキングボス” 2 results (0.21 seconds)

>90 I checked the TSUTAYA website, but it's nowhere to be found. Could you post the URL as proof, if you don't mind? I looked into it too, but there isn't even a movie like that, and it's weird that it hasn't been announced when it's this close. It also looks like that person is filming a different movie. Also, June 4 is a Tuesday, isn't it? Wouldn't it normally be released on a Wednesday? They said this next one was going to be an all-singles best-of, so I was already thinking, “Another single... what!?” I feel like an idiot for half-believing that post.

Isn't it TM? “Char's Counterattack.”

You guys, don't let >90 fool you. They're releasing a best-of album before the breakup. There'd be no way they'd release a single at this point. Production activities should have stopped by now, and everyone is probably off somewhere having fun until the final live.

They'll be pretty busy with rehearsals and everything until the live, surely.

I'm curious what they'll be doing from after the live until October.

Earlier, while washing pots, plates, cups, and stuff, I started quietly humming part of “Exotic Japan” even though I barely remembered the words, but halfway through I started choking up and couldn't sing anymore. Seriously... It has nothing to do with Gane at all, but am I okay? What is this? Maybe it's because of something I saw on TV just now... ...Was yesterday the same...? I was more susceptible to it. While humming, I sang, “Yusa Mimori has the appeal of high notes, Yurippe has the appeal of mid-to-low notes (that's what it says on Wikipedia too)... ♪ Ahh, I'm so sick of this...” My family is hardcore Jodo Shinshu—was it the 750th memorial or something? My mother has gone to the branch temple about three times in the past ten days... ...The night before last, after work, I was doing my usual late-night run around Osaka Castle and remembered the monument at the site of Ishiyama Honganji (apparently the Otani branch holds memorial services there every month?). Instead of chanting Shoshin Nembutsuge, I simply put my hands together and chanted “Namu Amida Butsu” a few times (I've been putting more feeling into it lately because I'm scared)... and, maybe it was my imagination, but did I hear a little “clunk” or something? That's all that happened. My family has followed multiple religions since way back.

I mean, there's no way a band that's breaking up would get a major tie-in like that. Even if an offer had really come to Gane, GIZA would give it to B'z, Kuraki, BOYFRIEND, or that Shiori Niiyama girl they're pushing lately.

There isn't a single GIZA artist among them.

Yurippe (50) http://junko-mitsuhashi.c.blog.so-net.ne.jp/_images/blog/_828/junko-mitsuhashi/130130-1.jpg

That's Yurippe's momｗｗｗ

Pia Osaka's additional sale is up. Serves the guy who paid 200,000 yen〜 I'm going to place orders like crazy with multiple accounts〜

Posting that here is only going to drive up the competition.

An additional Pia sale? The seats are going to be hopelessly far back, right?

Pia is mostly selling tickets they don't even have, isn't it?

I think Pia's More Chance has ridiculously high odds. Even paid members applying with multiple entries aren't guaranteed to win, right?

>102 I thought Yurippe had gotten famous enough for Michiko Shimizu to do an impression of her face, but apparently not.

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

>100 I don't think Niiyama would sell even with a Conan tie-in. (That settles it.)

I think Niiyama is pretty good, though. But she's ultimately aimed at teenagers and young adults. Older guys aren't going to buy it.

I've recently started to realize how good Miyuki Nakajima is.

If it had been during Ayumi Hamasaki's heyday, she might have sold.

Is there any way to sell tickets besides auctions and Mixi?

>116 Friends.

Miyuki-chan's and Azuki-chan's lyrics have something in common.

(Yurippe × Nana-tan)² is Miyuki Nakajima.

>116 http://www.ticket.co.jp/

Miyuki-san's “I'll resent you〜 I'll resent you〜” kind of lyrics are something Azuki could never produce, no matter how long you boiled beans.

Something like, “I'm a demon〜 I'm a demon, that's why〜” I wish she'd kept going for a long time, like Miyuki-chan.

“I used to think makeup didn't matter, but I want to be beautiful tonight even if I die〜” Azuki-chan might write something like that, at least＾＾

There are so many songs where you can't tell the lyrics until you look at the lyric card, so taking the Miyuki Nakajima route would be difficult.

That's because of Yurippe-san's diction... (the rest is omittedｗ

> I barely managed not to turn it into hatred. I did my best, right? I think this kind of thing is what gives Nana-san's lyrics their distinctive color, so there's no need to change it.

AZUKI-san's lyrics feel like they sublimate negative emotions inside their own inner world.

We're going to say goodbye to Nana-san and Yurippe soon. Aren't you lonely?

I don't even care anymore.

Look at these and cheer up. http://i.imgur.com/AzODtBQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/T2Dtj8z.jpg

>130 There are random different people mixed in here and thereｗ ...So who is the one who got inserted?

It looks like you could refine Nana-chan from Vivian × Riku Shiina.

If you post stuff like that on an all-ages board, you'll get reported.

It's all Miyuki, Miyuki... Since they're both Yamaha artists, spare a thought for Hiroko Taniyama too... I once sent a fax with an incomprehensible random-number table to a program that had nothing to do with it, and settled things by jerking off at the end. Then I got introduced to Yusa Mimori by a Taniyama fan (don't worry, I didn't jerk off to her)... “Should I walk with you through the cold water?” “A love that ended without bearing fruit”... Is that what it was? ...I'm still doing my best in the birdcage. Is someone monopolizing her? They say she's all alone, but... I want this whole GARNET CROW phase to end soon too. I want them to settle the profits and losses already. This is exhausting.

>130 If you're adding AV actresses, put Miho Hashimoto (Aimi Nakaya) in there too.

The one listed on the auction will definitely go over 80,000 yen if it's for the 9th, so the person who takes the buy-it-now price wins. Though they've put the seat number out there, so it'd take some nerve.

After hearing that they were breaking up, I rented a best-of from the rental shop and listened to it, but considering it's two discs with 32 songs, there weren't actually that many good ones. About ten of them were pretty good. So! I want all you real fans to tell me which songs you recommend.

>137 There are several GARNET CROW best-of albums—which one did you rent? They have lots of good B-sides and album tracks too, so if you rented the A-side collection (at the crest), you should definitely rent the B-side collection (GOODBYE LONELY) and give it a proper listen too. If you want more specific recommendations, you should probably list the titles of songs you like.

>137 ただ愛のためにだけ

>137 It'd be easier to recommend songs if you told us which ten.

>138 >140 Thanks for the replies. I rented “at the crest,” released on February 10, 2010... I've only given it a quick listen so far, but: ・Mysterioys Eyes ・夏の幻 ・夢みたあとで ・泣けない夜も　泣かない朝も ・風とRAINBOW ・涙のイエスタデー ・世界はまわると言うけれど (this one might be the best >139 That one isn't included.

>141 So you're looking for the brighter kind of songs? You should probably rent “Memories” next.

Personally, I'd like you to listen to “first soundscope” too.

>142 Maybe it's because I like Conan, so their songs naturally made their way into my ears... There are probably songs whose appeal you won't understand unless you listen to them a lot.

>141 The bottom three songs are on it, so “LOCKS” is probably the easiest place to start.

In that case, “parallel universe” might be better. It has a Conan movie song too, and there are more upbeat songs on it. Personally, my favorite song on that album is “今日と明日と.”

Everyone's opinions are impressively all over the placeｗ

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

Sirius-kun is having a breakdown.

>151 Isn't this the group that sings at Saty in Ichikawa-Myoden all the time?ｗ

I think they could've done at least one final live in Tohoku.

>154 Radiation danger.

Should I sell my final-day ticket on Yahoo Auctions now, or wait until I know the seat and sell it then?

They did regional shows for “stay” and for their 10th anniversary, so I was hoping they'd do another one around their 15th anniversary. But with attendance this low lately, I guess that would've been tough. For some reason, the gap from March 30 to the final live is strangely short, and the announcements and mailing of payment forms have been suspiciously smooth for GIZA. There are just so many things that don't sit right.

Was it meticulously planned, or is GIZA itself breaking up? What's going on? Come to think of it, was attendance really that bad?

Looks similar. http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/doa_mai_bz/imgs/f/8/f8a55f1f.jpg http://www.gokunuki.net/goku/13482_6982/0014.jpg

http://hiroimono.org/wp-content/uploads/st12071902.jpg

Attendance was bad. I went to both the 29th and 30th at JCB Hall, and since the 29th was a weekday, the empty seats really stood out. I managed to take paid leave on the 24th, but I'll probably have to work on the 10th. The show on the 9th starts early, but I wonder what time it'll end. I'll make the 8:30 PM Shinkansen, right?

Someone wrote on their blog that at an FC event, there were idiots having an exchange like: “I don't buy CDs, I just get by with YouTube and NicoNico.” “Me too, me too.” If FC members are doing that, no wonder they broke up. It'd kill their motivation too.

>161 They'll probably do about three encores, but there's no way it'll last four hours. >162 The so-called pinchike, maybe? Students don't have money, but they should still be able to buy a few CDs a year. Meanwhile, AKB otaku buy dozens without even listening to them. Talk about two extremes.

>162 I guess that's just the culture these days. Recently someone on Twitter said they were giving away copies of a remix, and not only did nobody object, everyone was going “Gimme, gimme.”

I think it's fine for people who say “as long as I can hear it,” but depending on the setup, you won't be able to hear Yurippe's quiet backing vocals or the sounds Furui-san painstakingly crafted.

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

The remix isn't being sold anymore, so isn't it understandable? It'd be different if they were selling copies, though...

>167 It's being sold officially. http://musing.jp/music/TCR-029/

>168 Oh, really. My bad. Is the CD version not being sold?

It's expensive, but you can buy it on Amazon.

It looks like Kurose won't be the drummer for the final tour. http://www.kaichiweb.net/live/live.html

They'll add more people later, so it'll probably be Kurose and Ohashi.

Since it's the last one, I want B'z's support musicians and Matsuchan to come.

>170 I checked, and it was sold out. I thought it was cheap when it dropped below 10,000 yen the other day. It used to go for 40,000–50,000 yen on Yahoo Auctions a few years ago, right?

>164 There was someone handing it out on Ameba too. Doing it quietly among friends is one thing, but handing it out to unspecified masses on social media feels wrong(´･ω･`)

>168 I didn't know that. I'm gonna go buy it(*･ω･)ﾉ

I own the remix CD, but now that I think about it, which live venue did I buy it at?

I searched the Being Boom entry on Wikipedia, and a missing piece of the puzzle fell into place (though I don't know if it's right). For my generation, it was YouTube, Share? (is that already old?), and before that TSUTAYA and BookOff were criticized for “making money by parasitizing on other people's...” Secondhand CD stores were supposed to be modest... and moral... Is that all ancient history now? As for Gane, if it means “music that passes my personal taste test,” then always. But I've always felt like they were crushed by a black-hole/supernova-like entourage of hardcore fans. There's also this religious-guard feeling, like becoming mainstream wouldn't necessarily be good for them (though there's no way to confirm that). Maruse Taro, Wataru Takada, Hiroko Taniyama, Yusa Mimori, The Kinks, ...Ramo Nakajima? Minako Honda? The Two Flower Shows? I can't confirm any of it. Of course buying CDs is the obvious thing to do, but back in the day fans of their favorite bands would organize radio and cable-TV requests, AKB-style. Maybe being too hardcore makes people go in the opposite direction and avoid spreading the word... Is that a generational thing too? Anyway, there seem to be a lot of edgy, mentally unwell people among music fans (not that I can talk), plus that detached, division-of-labor feeling of Being.

Camellia Diamond made me laugh too. Somehow I ended up imagining a still image of the ZARD woman fused with one of those late-night programs that doubles as a lamp... When did things become anime-like without anyone noticing? Avex even created a voice-actor idol division. “Now?” Hiroko Taniyama is writing songs for the voice actresses in Lucky Star, and Yuki Kajiura? Yoko Kanno? They were poached too. ...The Happy Lesson staff names from a few years ago suddenly showed up in the end credits. NHK seems not to be watching, but apparently checks everything—I was impressed (on the surface they pretend to be politically considerate). Being's use of anime as a way to promote songs is obvious enough from Conan. The Avex-style anime stance that follows the same model is no different: the songs, artists, and anime world are kept separate. That really annoys me as the kind of male-led Akihabara otaku I was about ten years ago. But maybe that's not a thing anymore, now that we're in an age of Sengoku-level chaos? For people in their twenties today...

Well, is this just a fantasy from another era? Or just an obsession? It has that outdated, ephemeral-flower kind of feeling. To give an example, the Rozen Maiden anime and the songs by ALI PROJECT can't be separated. It feels like neither works without the other, right? (Personally speaking.) So Being needs to love anime, or else... But if the manga artist or animator side picked Gane themselves for MÄR Heaven (I haven't looked into it, just read Wikipedia), then that's different. It looks like a kind of “middle-ground solidarity” between anime-song singers and Conan-style division of labor... Was the creator of that anime/manga influenced by “青い花”? Did they use it as a model? ...Or did Azuki-san think its worldview matched “青い花” and pair them up? I don't know which it is... If an anime leaves a lingering afterimage of the song behind, then whether it's Being, Avex, or an anime-song singer doesn't matter to me anymore. Though I guess it depends on the type of anime...

>180 You can just make every song god tier.

＞Lasy love song・・・

I don't think “忘れ咲き” is all that great by GC standards, but it sometimes pops into my head when I'm humming, and before I know it I'm humming GAO's “さよなら.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGG9_Gk1SAg

Lately I've been listening to “blue regret” nonstop. I've never actually had a breakup that left me with regrets, and I haven't even been in love in the first place. So why does it hit me this hard?

People who call themselves fans and then say they'll copy it and give it away are seriously gross. And people like TmlPAQ2J0 too— they're annoying as hell.

>177 Wasn't it the “I'm waiting 4 you” live?

Azuki's poison kicks in later〜

>187 The fourth album, huh. I felt like I bought it ages ago, but I couldn't remember. Thx!

@ganet12flying GARNET CROW REMIXES Cool City Production vol.9 If you'd be happy with a co○y of this album, reply to me(*^-^*) May 4, 2013 - 23:25 - Typical Twitter idiotsｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>190 That's the oneｗ They said they were handing out dozens at the venue. Having not even a fragment of guilt about it is pretty messed up.

So they used to appear on TV shows like Music Station quite a lot too. There were a few videos uploaded, and when they appeared on Music Station singing “夢みたあとで,” TOKIO in the back was somehow trying hard not to laugh. When they did “籟・来・也,” Yuri-san and Nana-san came on holding hands, and I was totally moe over it. On Hey! Hey! Hey! they got teased as expected.

My memory of being publicly executed on the nationwide prime-time broadcast M Station Super Live.

How do artists who retire make a living, not just GARNET CROW?

>193 Details?

>195 They sang “スパイラル.”

>191 Is this the person who shows up on Mixi all the time? It's pathetic that they get a superiority complex from illegal copies. >194 Miho Komatsu is probably a housewife now. Aiuchi sells pet goods online. Weren't two of the FOV members still with Being? Tsubokura and the others should still have been with Being even after BB broke up.

>197 Who is Miho Komatsu's husband!? I'm jealous...

I regret not buying a ticket for the final live when I had the chance, orz. The final live DVD is definitely coming out, right!?

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

Predictions for the finalscope merch: ・Lonely Light ・Fabric bag ・Pamphlet (graduation album) ・MINIQLO album ・Sports towel ・Member-specific T-shirts ・Garnet accessories

>201 Graduation album, lol. Mochi won't be attending.

I guess this is what surprises an old guy... It's unbelievable that the person who sings “忘れ咲き” would sing “スパイラル,” let alone “ロンリーナイト.” From a physiognomy perspective? Doesn't Yurippe have the face of a 1970s underground folk singer? Someone who writes songs like that... Like Yamaha Tsumagoi or early Chage & Aska. ...Maybe this is because I watched an ETV special on Shuji Terayama late last night?... ...I also would've liked to see “1stプライオリティ” performed with a band lineup. It would've been different from Gane—a really unusual band. But if they'd put themselves through that kind of stress, maybe they'd have died even earlier?

>201 Also Yurikkuma. Dark-horse pick: Okamon. A muffler towel would be better than a sports towel for hanging around your neck, though.

>184 “...Unable to say goodbye, I hid beneath an umbrella. Back when I believed I wouldn't lose anything...”

There was a theory going around for a while that Miho Komatsu's husband was Hiroto Furuiｗ

I wonder if music freak ES will ever be made into a bound book.

>207 They haven't accumulated enough material since the last one yet. Would a collaboration between ES and J-groove magazine be impossible? Also, what's going on with the end-of-April newsletter? There hasn't even been the usual “it'll be delayed” email. Are they still busy dealing with criticism over the lottery and the venues?

If they sing “夢みたあとで” at the final live, let's all join in with the responses and get the place hyped up!!!!

SSS　in little time　未完成な音色　夏の幻　水のない晴れた海へ SS　Sky　永遠に葬れ　Mysterious Eyes　千以上の言葉を並べても・・・　blue bird　flying　Cried a little 　巡り来る春に　Rhythm　Holding you,and swinging S　dreaming of love　A crown　君の家に着くまでずっと走ってゆく　HAPPY DAYS?　wonder land A　Timing　二人のロケット　hi-speed スペシャル oneday

>186 Happon, aka Sirius-kun, otsuｗｗｗ

“Nostalgia,” “白い空,” “P.S.GIRL,” and “鏡にみた夢” are all amazing. “鏡にみた夢” especially has an incredible melody and lyrics.

>201 ＞・Lonely Light I hope it's one that can shine in about four colors from a single lightｗ ＞・MINIQLO album If they release one, will the model number be MINIQLO-3150, “The Last (The Best),” or MINIQLO-9999?ｗ Also, I want a bonus DVD with footage of Yurippe and Mochi's eventsｗ

Yahoo Auctions is the same as ever, but I feel like the prices on Ticket Ryū have been coming down. 100,000 yen for the final day, huh. Once the seat numbers are known, there'll probably be listings that go back up again...

I'm going to my first live on May 24. What should I bring?

>211 I don't know if they got talked into the ground on Twitter or what, but they're being annoyingly clingy all by themselves.

>215 Maybe a Lonely Light?

>215 Oh, it's your first time. Maybe watch a DVD and learn the choreography before you go.

>215 A ticket. If you're in the second-floor seats, opera glasses are recommended.

>216 Happon, aka Sirius-kun (now going by Seirios), is an idiot who called people “dumb-Twitterers” and exposed them on 2ch, only to get identified himself and become the butt of jokes among the GARNET CROW fans behind his backｗ

>209 Ah, of course.

If Yurippe announces her marriage at the final live, it'll be a happy ending.

If she announced she was marrying Mochi, I could send her off with a smile. If she said it was some ordinary guy (not that she would), I'd leave the venue in a funeral-like mood.

I'd be okay with her marrying some old guy.

Speaking of old guys, Miho Komatsu has turned the dream she imagined into reality.

Only Nana should retire. She sleeps through performances all the time anyway.

I want to dress Nana-san in a kimono, have her sit beside me and pour my sake, then once she's drunk, pull and undo her obi, spin her around, and make her say, “Aaa-re~.”

Nana-san even made the list of top earners, so she can probably live without working herself to the bone, right? Didn't she earn close to 100 million yen in that one year alone? The list itself has been abolished now, though, so who knows how things are these days.

My guess is Nana-san and Okamochi will get married.

I wonder where the best seats available through Tokyo general sales are. Probably the back of the second floor, right?

I did my best for Yuri-san today too.

>228 Apparently it wasn't earnings so much as an inheritance or something. That's what they said on a Kansai-local TV program.

>230 That's all there is on the auctions. Musing is probably the next best option. Even with an FC ticket, you might end up on the second floorｗ At the Forum, anything behind the middle is basically impossible to seeｗｗ Hopefully there'll be a monitor.

I want them to make and sell a fleshlight faithfully modeled on Yurippe's vagina.

The Tokyo final live is getting close (crying).

I read up on various reasons bands break up, and most of them come down to relationships or money. They say it's musical differences or a difference in direction on the surface, but apparently the real reasons are different. Nobody but the people involved can know why Gane is breaking up, but I hope it's something like “we gave it everything, we've done all we can.” Personally, I hope it's for a reason like LINDBERG's. That would be something I could accept as unavoidable. And that thing Hiroto Kōmoto supposedly said—that you get bored after doing it for ten years—sounds pretty real too.

At least I wish “we hit it off through our musicality” were the real reason.

As far as Gane goes, I think GIZA simply wanted to shut it down. The members are salaried workers, in a good way and a bad way. I don't sense enough desire or ego for the members to clash with each other.

>236 What was LINDBERG's reason for retiring?

Is there anywhere I can rent concert DVDs? I'm too poor to buy them (crying).

You can buy one with a single day of temp work. Stop whining.

The legendary Music Station “スパイラル.” http://www.pideo.net/video/youku/5f093c75c8769275/

>236 The official reason is “we gave it everything, we've done all we can.” The truth doesn't seem quite so pretty, though...

>242 �d�d Yurippe's voice has so much echo on it. But there are way too few shots of Mochiｗ

Like bubbles rising from the bottom of a dim, dark body of water, that groan-like singing voice made living rooms across the country tremble.

>242 I want to go back to those days.

>242 Those were the days. The year-end Music Station Super Live. The FC recruited audience members, but only young women were allowed, and I remember being furiousｗ It really makes you realize how much time has passed since then~

Wasn't this around when they first started appearing on TV?

If she's going to announce a marriage, it'll be at the very end of the final show, right? Is it okay to put all my emotional weight there? It's better to have time to prepare than to be hit out of nowhere. Good practice for when your parents die... If she says it in Tokyo, she'd have to say it three times in total, so maybe that's a pain?

Leaving aside the people who brag about crimes like copying CDs, I didn't realize there were also people obsessively clinging to personal grudges. It'll just make the thread ugly, so ignoring them is probably best...

>247 They have to think about how it looks on TV, so it can't be helpedｗ

>249 If that's what happens, we'll have to congratulate her when the time comes.

I wonder if they'll appear on Music Station one last time...

Well, it probably won't be enough of a shock to make me briskly walk toward the Tone River, Mount Fuji, Mount Ikoma, or the Yodo River... I don't expect an earthquake either. But I feel like I might develop a smoking habit, the kind where you smoke Peace or Hi-Lite. The morning after the final, before I go to work... I can't smoke at work, so I'll have to check where I can smoke, like at a station, since more and more places are smoke-free these days. Right now I only smoke a few times a year, mostly at work parties, and even then it's a light 1-milligram menthol cigarette... Starting properly at 45—I'd rather lung cancer give me a deadline than become a senile old man, so I guess I should be grateful. My religion will probably forgive me too. Writing this from the nap room at work.

>239 >>Watarase said this about the reason for the breakup: >>“I've done everything I wanted to do. I've written everything I wanted to write. >>I've sung everything I wanted to sing. I also want a second child from here on. >>In that situation, it just isn't possible to keep the band going.” >>Maki Watarase　　Age 33 That's the official reason; who knows what the real one was. But there do seem to be struggles unique to female members involving childbirth and raising children. Their ages are close too, so maybe Yurippe brought up the breakup for a reason like that. At 35, having a child would be right on the edge, after all.

>234 People like this are seriously disgusting. The moment you look at her that way, you're not a fan anymore.

I want to crawl into Yurippe's large intestine, stick my face out of her anus, and feel the dynamism of her farting with my whole body.

I want to wear Yurippe's skin and live my life.

You guys should have an inflatable doll made that looks exactly like Yurippe, then suck on it all day without eating until you shrivel up and die.

>242 Since it was a TV show, she wasn't asleep at least, but Nana played while looking away.

I want them to sell a fleshlight molded from Yurippe's vagina. Until they do that, they can't say they've done everything they can as GARNET.

>261 Not to nitpick something so stupid, but since there's no way to know what the real thing is like, any fleshlight would workｗ Just buy a tight one that fits your tiny dick and you'll be fine.

>141 From those ten songs, “parallel universe” would probably be good. Or just hold out a little longer and rent the final best-of album.

>261 Grossｗ

GARNET CROW GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜 Tickets for both Tokyo and Osaka are sold out!! They're considering whether to open up standing-room tickets.

Things are so convenient now. I looked at the translated lyrics to “LINGER.” What kind of romances has Yurippe had? Just as I thought, she was precocious. It'll be interesting to see who she marries. The lyrics are packed with romantic maneuvering. I watched it on YouTube and realized the Cranberries have gotten old—or rather, they're still active. I saw them at Quattro around 1993, I think? I thought it was before I got a job, but I remember the vocalist was still in her twenties. I was shocked when I Googled them. I have no memory of them performing “Dreams”; in my head it's stored as Faye Wong's version. I definitely remember seeing “You Gotta Mail” too, but the song went in one ear and out the other. I'd forgotten U2 was Irish too, but Miyuki Nakajima, Enya, Celtic =? Nordic... They all connect in a straight line as personalities. Add GARNET and Yusa Mimori, and it's still one straight line. I'll look into “True Colors” and “From a Distance” too. Even if I only figure out Yurippe's way of thinking now... I'll research all sorts of things to kill time until the breakup.

http://blog-imgs-57.fc2.com/k/y/o/kyonyuuaidoru888/20130507192143786.jpg I hereby declare that I'm going to masturbate furiously while alternating between looking at this image and images of Yurippe.

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

>250 Happon aka Sirius-kun, or rather Seirios, or now Hachihon-sanｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

What do you mean, “memory”? What? Were Western music fans back then like that too? I never looked up translated lyrics just for the singles. Unless I was really into something, I just listened to the sound, and the lyrics were only there to make a cool impression... I'm desperately trying to remember. Did I confuse them with Raspberries? But I should've only gone as far as thinking of that one famous Cardigans song. Now I'm a tired old guy, and like GARNET, that Nordic melancholy sound is perfect healing when I stop by Quattro after work with a Coke highball. But I remember being disappointed back then. Unlike the “LINGER” video? Maybe it was a Nordic, young, thin, pale? beautiful-girl vocal band wearing silk... That part was fine, though.

I watched them on YouTube and the feeling was the same: Nordic, melancholy, Shibuya-kei, with a beautiful woman singing on and on... and then it ended. If I had to explain what felt lacking back then, today I'd compare it to being made to listen endlessly to the “no chorus” part of Yusa Mimori's “Freesia”? “Floria”? (she studied classical vocals at a music college and never had a huge hit single either). Faye Wong was the same, but back then I wasn't hungry for a diva type. I had a Hiroko Taniyama and Kinks setup going on. ...And the Cranberries too—instead of melancholy, their videos made them seem like a powerful older-sister vocalist who'd escaped her Irish-soul, prostitute-cum-IRA identity... Oh, right, Cyndi Lauper too. She was in a Uniqlo commercial until about six months ago, I think.

That was 28 or 29 years ago now, wasn't it? At my high school's cultural festival or sports day, they made us do a creative dance. Was the backing music “Lollipop”? “Jump”? And then “High School Danceteria”... Come to think of it, didn't she come to Japan during the earthquake too? There were already rumors she was over 30 back then. About ten years ago, I went to see Culture Club and enjoyed it without thinking about anything, so Cyndi the old lady was fine too... Even if they're not the beautiful type, as long as they have a good voice and presence, I don't care about their age at all (opinions may vary). I've forgotten what I was trying to say.

That “Blue Flower” guy seems to know a lot about different artists, but I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to sayｗ There are way too many question marks, and he keeps jumping between contexts. If you're going to write, please make it understandable!

This new best-of is mostly the same as the 2010 one, you idiot.

Here, have a bonus.

273... If I write it out in detail, I'll forget the thread of the whole story (once you start working, nobody explains things clearly for you anymore). ...Long story short, in the flashback feature in newsletter vol. 41, the “Members Close-up—Yuri Nakamura” issue, vol. 37 (January 2012), there was a question: “It may be difficult to narrow it down, but please name three songs indispensable to Ms. Nakamura's life!” The answers were: ...Bette Midler, “FROM A distance” Cyndi Lauper, “true colors” The Cranberries, “LINGER.” That's what this is about. ... Also, I haven't been able to use the anchor function since I got restricted a few years ago. There must be some way around it, but I don't know enough about PCs or phones (flip phones).

A best-of that covers every single is just going to be all upbeat songs if they leave it as-is. It'll be impossible to listen to. They should switch some parts to acoustic versions or something and put some thought into it.

I lost the More Chance lotteryｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Me too.

I feel like I was summoned. Please release the standing-room tickets aaahhh.

We swear we'll all join in with the responses when they perform “夢みたあとで” for the last time!!

Let's make cherry blossoms with pink glowsticks.

Could FC tickets for the Tokyo venue really land on the second floor?

I completely lost the More Chance lottery aaaaｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ One more, please!!ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>276 Look, I wasn't asking you to write it in detail. I want it to be written coherently, like an actual piece of prose. I may be lacking some knowledge too, though. An anchor is just two half-width > symbols followed by the post number. Easy, right? Typing posts on a phone is hard, though... My PC connection is currently restricted, so I have no choice but to post from my phone.

>276 I'm surprised you can actually communicate with people.

They act like a crazy person, but I don't think they're just some ordinary nobodyｗ They don't mean any harm or have bad intentions, so what's the problem?

I only wrote IRA as a joke, but then I found a site where I could follow along with the Zombie video while looking at the English and Japanese translations. (What a great era—it's so thorough that even I don't have to buy the CD.) Looking at it, I realized I had completely misunderstood. There are so many things in the world I don't know. Twenty years later, the lyrics to “Zombie” felt brutally real—more hardcore than U2. ... ... Back then, you could just click the number in the upper-left corner on your phone (the post number, I think?) and it would open a posting screen with the anchor already attached...

“Not just some ordinary nobody,” huh... I'm already 45 and single, and I've had a bit to drink. I wanted Yurippe to take me, but she's way out of my league, so the conversation would just die... Yurippe~ Ah, this is how I can finally give up. After the encore on the final day, wrap it up with some blunt, honest talk like: “I've been moving my hips too much with my boyfriend lately, and I finally got knocked up! I'm four months pregnant, so I can't balance it with the band and we're breaking up!” Then I'd congratulate her and say goodbye, jerk off, and after the whole process was over, part ways with Yurippe cleanly.

I want to destroy Yurippe.

For now, I made Yurippe take a dump. Jun Maeda is unforgivable.

I really like “P.S GIRL” and “鏡にみた夢.” They're way too good.

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

Tokyo, the back of the second floor is going for more than twice face value. That's insane—crack down on it already.

>253 And Uto-san's Music Line too...

What do you guys listen to besides GARNET?

>294 FC tickets have gotten so expensive that you practically need to show ID or your membership card. It's too late now, since they've never taken any measures, but they should at least require people to show proof for the good seat numbers. I think ZARD suddenly required people to show tickets up to a certain row once too. >295 We don't need Uto. It'd just make the members worry about her tooｗ

（・囚・）Yurikkuma （・ё・）Okamotorri

Okamoto with glasses in the old days looked kind of like a frog.

Could GARNET CROW get invited to this? ttp://www.fujitv.co.jp/FNS/2013s/index.html FNS Summer Song Festival 2013 They get invited, catch the eye of an executive at another record company, transfer labels, and GARNET CROW's continuation gets decided after all.

I told you, they've already given it everything they've got—

>298 At least make him Okamonｗ Only one month until the final〜 >300 Winter is fancy, but summer is kinda underwhelmingｗ Well, it's not like they'll appear anyway.

There's a rumor that Yuri Nakamura will stay with GIZA by producing Ryo Kokura, a high-school singer currently scheduled to debut this summer.

The breakup is sad, but they were basically complete by around their third album, right?

Yes.

All I can say is, “Oh, I see.”

The FC assigned me my second choice, and I lost the Pia presale, general sales, and More Chance. Are scalpers really my only option now? I hate it, though. Ticket Ryū is cheaper and more trustworthy than auctions, right? Hmm... I'll agonize over it for a few days. Maybe I'll decide after I go to Tokyo. But will prices go up even more once the seats are known? Or could some go down? I don't want to regret not being able to go to Osaka.

>307 If you want to be close to Yurippe at least one last time, single-digit rows won't go for just 50,000 or 60,000 yen. They'll be on the DVD too.

>308 The 9th is already 100,000 yen, isn't it? The 8th is 50,000 or 60,000. I thought around 170,000 right after general sales was probably the peak, but the front rows will shoot up once the seats are known. Even FC tickets in Osaka will probably be on the second floor, so I can't predict whether those prices will drop, stay where they are, or rise right before the show. I don't want to make scalpers richer, but I don't think I'll ever find music better than GARNET again. I don't want to spend the rest of my life regretting this. That's the conflict I'm stuck with.

This is my first breakup live. What kind of atmosphere is it? (´･ω･`)

>309 Didn't the 9th go over 200,000 yen at its peak? Were those fake bids?? Prices might drop once the seats are known, but don't get your hopes up. It's the last one. Though if prices get completely ridiculous, the FC might take some kind of action and you might not even be allowed inｗ

>310 It's less like you can't breathe and more like you're in a dream.

The members probably don't do breakup lives very often either, and a lot of GARNET fans are probably experiencing one for the first time too. I wonder what the MC will be like. Will it be even more rambling than usual, or will they go through it like they're reading from a script? I guess it depends on how the paid rehearsal in Tokyo goes. We won't know until they open the lid.

I'll put one vote on some crazy person shouting nonstop and ruining the atmosphere before it all ends.

It's the last one, so let's shout our hearts out.

夢みたあとで ↓ GARNET call 1 Fall in Life〜Hallelujah〜 今宵エデンの片隅で ↓ GARNET call 2 スパイラル It'll probably go something like this.

Before it starts, it'll probably feel like a funeral, but once it begins, do you think it'll go back to feeling normal? (´･ω･`).

I'm tired of ending with “スパイラル.”

Breakup lives usually get pretty sentimental. When a ballad starts playing, I can't help thinking, “I'll never hear this song live again.” If they play “この手を伸ばせば,” “夕立の庭,” or “over blow,” I'll probably cry.

There was only one show that ended with “スパイラル,” so I want them to end with it, but I think jumping is banned at Grand Cube.

>317 Funeral → normal atmosphere → funeral.

>321 As expected of a funeral band.

The final day will just be “スパイラル” on repeat from 6:30 to 9:30 PM♪

I want to hear “晴れ時計.” I've never heard it live(´・ω・｀)

This is the final song we're giving to all our fans. Please listen to “さよなら”とたった一言で.

It'll probably end with “スパイラル.” May there be one more smile than tears, and one more meeting than goodbye.

>325 That should be “永遠に葬れ.”

On the final day, if it starts at 4 PM and lasts three hours, or even four if something happens, it'll end by 8, right? I booked an 8 PM Shinkansen, so I'll be screwed if it doesn'tｗ

It'll be “a crown.”

>328 It'd be nice if it actually started at 4ｗ I'm expecting it to go past 9 PM myself.

>304 Personally, I thought they were perfect up through their first best-of album.

>307 I think a lot of people are thinking the same thing—agonizing for a few days and deciding after going to Tokyo. My prediction is that once the Tokyo show is over, Yahoo Auctions, Ticket Ryū, and Ticket Street will sell out immediately. In my experience, if you're hesitating, buy now. If you leave it until later, you won't be able to get one, and the price will shoot up too.

I thought I'd regret it for the rest of my life if I couldn't go on the final day, so I bought one at a high price on an auction. I'm really relieved to have secured it early. I also think it's better to get one now than to keep agonizing over it.

I want to hear “Blue Regｒet” and “鏡にみた夢” live.

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

>334 I absolutely want to hear “鏡にみた夢.” I'll cry when I hear it.

>332, 333 So buying now really is the way to go. Right now Ticket Ryū and Ticket Street are both buy-it-now at 100,000 yen. It's scary to think prices could skyrocket after Tokyo, or that the tickets in circulation could disappear altogether. Okay, I've decided. Thanks for the adviceｻﾝｸｽ

I want to hear “crown,” but the CD version was definitely better. The backing was so thin, and the singing was terrible.

Please release the final live DVD uncut!

I want them to have backing vocals, sax, strings, and all that join in. At the first live I ever went to, the opening song was “百年の孤独,” and somehow the old guy's synth was turned off, leaving me going ( ﾟдﾟ)ﾎﾟｶｰﾝ. I want them to get revenge for that.

>340 Strings are definitely needed〜 I wish they'd do lots of stuff like the symphonic arrangements. Though it'd be a little awkward if Ikeda-sensei stood out that much at the very last showｗ I want them to bring in all the support musicians too, but I guess it'll end up being a small-scale affair...

Come to think of it, there are only two weeks left—are the Tokyo tickets starting to arrive yet? With everything this chaotic, the merch announcement is probably going to come at the very last possible minute.

>342 Normally they'd be shipped today, but there hasn't been any notice from the FC. The merch is always like thisｗ I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it the day beforeｗｗ

>339 It'll probably be included in a limited-production box sold through the fan club and Musing.

>344 Seriously? Think they'll pull off using an entire DVD just for “スパイラル”?

>345 They released a Complete Box for Rina Aiuchi.

DVDs are so last decade—no, no, give us a Blu-ray. And I won't accept it unless they include a swimsuit photobook of Yuri-tan and Nana-chan too, no, no.

I opened iTunes for the first time in ages.

>346 Anyone thinking about buying the DVDs they've released so far should probably hold off for now. They'll probably put out some kind of Complete collection of all the albums and everything eventuallyｗ Probably around the end of the year—the GIZA patternｗ

Yurippe is so cute(*´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ

If they release something like Aiuchi's Premium Box, I'd probably buy it. I already own all the singles, albums, and DVDs, but I'd probably still buy it. Aiuchi's came out about three months after her final live, right? We still don't know what the FC's 10th-anniversary merch will be, but I bet they'll do a Complete collection before the FC shuts down at the end of October. >242 My Tokyo ticket arrived today. I got a missed-delivery slip in the evening and received it on redelivery.

Now that GARNET CROW is gone, what droopy-sideburns ponytail female vocalist am I supposed to listen to?

Come to think of it, I went to Aiuchi's final live too. It started at 6 and lasted about three hours and 45 minutes. I barely made my night bus reservation.

I wonder if Gane will do one of those anniversary memorial screen concerts too.

>354 Okamocchi seems like he'd show up in person.

No matter how cute the idol, nothing beats Yurippe's “Yay〜 ahh.”

The official site has posted an announcement for the “Message for GARNET CROW 〜THE ONE〜” project.

>351 Your ticket arrived! Mine will probably come tomorrow too. The Forum is so long and narrow, so I hope they have a screenｗ Aiuchi played for about four hours, huh~ Gane must've moved the start time earlier with that in mind. If the 10th-anniversary merch is a box, I'll be seriously disappointedｗ

No matter how cute the idol, nothing beats Yurippe's “Yay〜 ahh.”

>357 Message for GARNET CROW 〜THE ONE〜 Project Announcement NEW!! We are collecting messages for the members of GARNET CROW, who will disband after the release of the best-of album “THE ONE 〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” on Wednesday, May 22, and the subsequent “GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜.” The messages will be displayed at the entrance of Grand Cube Osaka, the venue for the FINAL LIVE on Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9. Message boxes and cards will be placed at the stores below. Whether you can attend the venue or not, please write your thoughts for the members on a card and put it in the box. The staff will be responsible for delivering the messages to the members. 【Project period】Tuesday, May 21〜Sunday, June 2 ※The project will end when the message cards run out. 【Participating stores】 Hokkaido area: HMV Sapporo Stellar Place Tohoku area: Tower Records Sendai Parco Koshinetsu area Hokuriku area: Tower Records Niigata North Kanto area: Wonder Goo Moriya Tokyo area: Tower Records Shibuya, Tower Records Shinjuku, Ginza Yamano Music Main Store, Shinseido Yokohama Joinus Chubu area: Shinseido Nagoya, Tower Records Nagoya Parco Kansai area: Disc Pier Nihombashi, Tower Records Umeda Osaka Marubiru Chugoku area: Edion Hiroshima Main Store Shikoku area: DUKE SHOP Matsuyama Kyushu area: Tower Records Fukuoka ＊Message display location: Grand Cube Osaka entrance, Osaka International Convention Center, June 8 (Saturday) and June 9 (Sunday) The participating stores will also hold an old-catalog campaign at the same time as the message project. All works other than the latest album “THE ONE 〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” are eligible. With each purchase, you will receive one clear file. ※Four designs available. 【Old-catalog campaign period】From Tuesday, May 21〜 ※The clear files will be available while supplies last. ※Depending on the shop, you may not be able to choose the color of the clear file. Check with the shop for details. ※The latest album “THE ONE 〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” is not eligible for the bonus.

So does that mean only the 6/9 show might run long?

The Mixi crowd will probably grab all the cards in bulk anyway...... Then resell them on auctions.

>361 I think every show will be longer than usual. Especially on the 9th—the encore probably won't end, so there's no telling how long it'll go. If you're catching the last Shinkansen or an overnight bus, don't leave with regrets〜

>363 Thanks. May 24 will be my first live ever...

>360 Ah, judging by how it's worded, there probably isn't a limit on how many cards each person can submit. I've already seen people saying they'll write cards for their friends too. I wonder if they're about the size of the card stock from some old FC event. Even after writing one, just finding where yours is displayed sounds like it'll be a painｗ If they put it somewhere stupid, people might not be able to get in or get back out.

>364 Oh, have fun. >365 Well, the fan-organized project got crushedｗ

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

>360 Someone's probably going to write something obscene using an acrostic. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　...Yep, that's me.

I hear Kuraki's Symphonic DVD is coming out. Still nothing from Gane...?

I really wish they'd release one〜 Since Kuraki's is coming out, it doesn't seem like rights issues are the reason Gane's hasn't. Maybe they've been deliberately holding it back. Or maybe in act1 something hit the microphone during a song—I forget which one—and made an enormous noise that couldn't be fixed. I want them to put Garnet time, the Bread Factory live, the Valentine's live, the 5th anniversary show, and so on on disc. I hate GIZA, but if it's good for GARNET, I'll throw money at it.

>369 It'll probably end up in a Complete Box...

>370 Some people stood up during parts where everyone was supposed to sit and listen, and there were people dancing during “Miss Holiday” without reading the mood, so it looked terrible. I remember thinking they should at least learn the etiquette for classical concerts before coming. Yurippe could've cleverly told them to sit down before singing.

>372 That might be why it wasn't released. The members don't seem like the type to compromise.

The clothes were terrible too, though that's unrelated to the DVD. Don't show up to an orchestra concert in a live T-shirt or a GC cap. You don't need to wear formalwear, but please have at least a little awareness of the occasion.

I see〜 Yeah, it really was badｗ Maybe it turned out that way because they did something weird like a live version... Personally, I wanted to hear lots more songs like “忘れ咲き.” If nothing else, a CD would be fine...

>373 I completely think that's the reasonｗ Since it was a full orchestra, there were lots of wide shots, so the standing audience got caught on camera. Watching it, I remember thinking, “There's no way they can fix that〜”ｗ >374 I don't mean they need to wear formalwear, but they should have had at least a little awareness of the occasion. Even outside the Symphonic shows, hats annoy me whenever I see someone wearing oneｗ

We should at least wear tuxedos on the final day, right?

It's pretty ridiculous that a DVD can't come out because of a few clueless kids.

At least release the audio by itself.

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

Remaster every song and release it as a complete album.

>365 Probably one per purchase or something.

The messages have nothing to do with purchases, do they? Anyone can write one. Surely nobody's going to buy one on an auctionｗ Even if you just get the card, it's pointless once the message box is goneｗｗ Apparently the FC is also collecting messages for the members, and that's plenty for me.

Big-boobed Yurippe http://attachments.gfan.com/forum/attachments2/day_110622/11062212364a00d6151ad05b33.jpg

>385 Small-boobed Yurippe is cute.

5/24 Tokyo International Forum, first floor, rows 6–8, one ticket http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s333051027 http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s333051023 http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s333051025 They won four tickets and are listing three of them?

>386 If you tell the FC about the auctions, they might make people in the front rows show ID. Checking everyone would be impossible with the staff they have, but checking up to around row 10 would be easy. Paying a fortune and then not being allowed in would be hilariousｗ Okay, maybe I'll email themｗ

Oh, so the tickets have already arrived.

Do you really think they'd do something that creates empty seats at a breakup live?

>388 They arrive two weeks before the show. The Osaka tickets should arrive around the time of the Tokyo show.

I'm not a hardcore fan, but I really wanna go to the Tokyo show. I'm waiting to see if the Yahoo Auctions prices for the Tokyo show settle down a bit after some more time passes.

>389 ZARD did it. B'z would kick people out without breaking a sweat. You bought it knowing that, right?

>386 It might be first floor, row 49ｗ

What will the last song be? hallelujah 夢みたあとで Smily Nation live スパイラル

They cut costs on the best album's jacket.

The last song has to be 夢みたあとで, right?

The best album jacket, the FC ticket design, and the clear file all have the same design, so maybe there actually is some meaning behind it? Though it doesn't change the fact that they didn't take new photos. >387 Checking up to around row 10 would be fine. But if they checked all 5,000 people, getting GIZA to handle it would make entry take several hours.

Musing tickets arrived ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━━ !!!!

Posting test from somewhere outside. The people handling entry for the live are outsourced, right? At the last Tokyo show, people wearing “live power” T-shirts were running things. http://www.livepower.co.jp/ I didn't see what it was like in Osaka, though. By the way, CD sales were handled by Disc Pier in Osaka and Shinseido in Tokyo, right?

IIRC, people wearing Being jackets were handling things in Osaka. Anyway, weren't tickets for previous lives okay to transfer as long as it was at face value? I don't know what it says on the back this time, but the FC is already running around like crazy before the breakup. Maybe we shouldn't make them take on extra workｗ

>400 This time too, the ticket clearly says something about reselling. With just ten staff members, checking the front rows would be easy. The checks were simple at ZARD too. So I'm going to email the FCｗ

Hachihon-kun is desperate because he couldn't make any money reselling ticketsｗ

Go die.

What is this, the spirit of jealousy, you poor bastardsｗ

The righteous jealous guys are swarming in, this is hilarious.

What a blissfully simple mind you have.

Is Hachihon-kun depressed?

There's no way they'd add another ten staff members to a GARNET live.

How are they supposed to tell a face-value transfer from a scalper sale? If it's a transfer, there's no membership card, and if it's a second transfer, tracing it back to the original seller is difficult too.

Hey, you guys. There's a GARNET CROW feature on GyaO right now.

Having the farewell live only in Tokyo leaves me feeling kind of unsatisfied. But Osaka is way too far. They'd make quite a bit of money if they streamed it online... What a completely unmotivated agency. It'll be the last time I get to see Mochi and Nana and the others too, huh. Kinda sad.

They've never played “Float World” live, have they?

>411 They're unmotivated about the commercials too. Why did B'z get the Conan promo slot so early? Will there be a commercial around next week?

>411 That sucks for you. But 99% of artists who've broken up so far have broken up in Tokyo. Please cut GARNET CROW some slack.

At the final FC event, I don't want a high five—I want a proper handshakeｗ With Nana and Yurippe.

>412 “Float World”—apparently they played it at a ski resort or some incredibly remote place during a Mini-Crow thing in recent years. I don't remember whether they played it at a GARNET show.

>412 OTODAMA SNOW STUDIO 2012/3/31 Over Drive Float World JUDY live Smiley Nation

I watched the “Futari no Rocket” PV on GyaO for the first time, and wow, they clearly didn't spend any money on itｗ

List of Twitter idiots @karasukaakaa — discrimination against disabled people @murasakiing @sibassan @fujimaru0328 @ayaya12191 — obsessive slanderer @aqua_xx @stsq4_cz @cocorokurenai74 — justice warriorｗ @lumirpositive @FeatherSheep — crazy game developer @yurippekoesuki @g_suesue @garnetcrow0724 @Naivecrown — obsessive slanderer @miimirion @kurenai_karasu — obsessive slanderer One of the people working so hard on reporting everyoneｗ is probably in this list, right?

Hacchan-kun, you watching? Yayー

>419 Are you talking about me?ｗ Unfortunately, I don't use either Twitter or Mixiｗｗｗ Don't get all worked up, auction winnerｗ

Please sing “永遠に葬れ” at the final live.

Hacchan-kun, go die!

>416 >417 Thanks. I thought they had played it, but I've never been to OTO DAMA, so I guess I was just mistaken.

>421 I haven't done anything with auctions at allｗｗ

>413 Since they're breaking up, there probably won't be any more tie-ins... >414 Yeah, it is their home turf, so even though it makes me go “grrr,” I think that's what they should do. Everyone from home can enjoy it together... no, I guess we won't be able to enjoy it.

>423 Not that it matters, but yeah, he really is an obsessive slandererｗｗ

>424 I'm pretty sure they played “Float World” at Ninna-ji.

>425 Oh, I seeｗ Well, there are people around here reporting him, so I'm not going to botherｗｗ I wrote just a little and got such an obvious reaction, it was hilariousｗｗ

Hacchan went completely nuts. Maybe I put a damper on his mood after he went to all that trouble to go on a date.

@garnet031212 Go die.

Ah, those stupid Twitter people are seriously pissing me off.

Saying Osaka is too far is just whining.

>432 You bite at everyone, don't youｗ Pretty much all you've said today is “go die,” isn't itｗ Your vocabulary is patheticｗｗ Don't come here acting tough when you're too spineless to say it to people's facesｗ

Oh dear, another nutjob has shown up.

That Hacchan bastard called one of his followers a defective product. I seriously hope he dies before the live.

LOL, pffft, get rekt. You idiots from the moron detector, die already?!

>434 Go die.

>436 He's probably talking about youｗｗ You're so annoying, clinging to this thread foreverｗ

>428 They didn't. Only at OTO DAMA in Niigata.

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

I want her to go back to a straight ponytail for the final one, at least.

My Tokyo ticket still hasn't arrived. What the hell is going on?

>394 There's no way “夢みたあとで” will be the last song. If they play it at all, it'll be before the encore.

I want to enter Yuri-san's large intestine, stick my face out of her anus, and feel the dynamic movement of her farting with my whole body.

Garnet dream diary 　・I look for Nanaー on a street corner with nobody around. She was getting her hair cut at a salon. When I went inside, it somehow turned into a fruit shop. Nanaー wasn't there either... 　・Mochi is doing a live in the school gym. 　・Yurippe is explaining Garnet on a whiteboard. 　・A movie about a huge number of old-man clones attacking Tokyo is being screened.

The “Natsu no Maboroshi” on the upcoming best album— is it really going to be the single version?

>261 Couldn't agree more!

Hiroki-kun, you watching〜 Yay! You guys are gross, so watch what you say.

A bunch of idiots fighting invisible enemies.

Hachiyan-kun changes his ID way too often.

My Tokyo FC ticket is past row 30. This is definitely one of those cases where the second floor would actually be closer. I should be grateful I got one at all, but let me complain a little. If they'd done two shows at the old JCB Hall, I could've seen perfectly fine even from the second floor...

The Gane crowd is seriously annoying. Are they unemployed or something? They seem to be checking constantly. Anyway, it's a fact that you guys are destined for the bottom of societyｗ

Seriously, how do you guys spend so much time on Twitter? You can practically feel how stupid you are from the way you write.

>452 Seriously? I haven't received mine yet, but getting row 30 would be depressing〜 Though it's happened to me plenty of timesｗ JCB has such a nice atmosphere. That kind of distance feels just right for Gane. Still, the Forum's second floor has terrible acoustics, so I guess being on the first floor is better, right?

I don't mind sitting a little farther back, but I really want to show up clearly on the DVD.

I'm the opposite—I absolutely don't want to be on cameraｗ

Is Hatchin still alive? Hiroki and Koji-kun are going crazy tooｗ

He's glued to 2ch way too much. Apparently he's depressed and running donation scams on Mixi.

Ticket-begging loserｗｗ Go die.

>453 >458 Enough already. This is boring.

bUpnJVBP0 QjLrZOdo0 You're even using your phone now—desperate muchｗ

>459 Aren't you the one with schizophreniaｗ? Your obsessive clinginess is getting seriously annoyingｗ

>463 Go die, you piece of trash.

My Musing Tokyo ticket arrived, but I'm at the edge of a middle row on the second floor. Musing really is no good. Still, I got the final day through the FC, so I'm happy just to be able to go.

Mixi losers and stupid Twitter losers, go back to your own nests.

I want Yuri to go black-haired and straight-haired, then sing in a tracksuit.

>464 Oh, sorry—did I hit a nerve?ｗ Real crazies are the ones who call other people crazyｗ

>468 Hiroki-kun, hurry up and die.

>469 You sure do jump to conclusionsｗ Get the hell out of this thread alreadyｗ People hate youｗ Don't make me say something so embarrassing for youｗ

I downloaded the CD Data app MAG, but I can't view it.

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g121759952 Why is it 40,000 yen for the second floor? Is this what they call shill bidding?

Are all the front several rows (a dozen or so?) allocated to the fan club? Tell me, sexy knowledgeable people!

So is Osaka day two really the only one with extra songs?

Even if they call it an open dress rehearsal, the Tokyo crowd gets to enjoy finding out the setlist order.

>455 Thanks for the reply. The International Forum feels like there's a wall between you and the stage at that distance... JCB is nice—the view is good and the atmosphere is really great. I'm glad to get the consolation that the sound is better than on the second floor. I'll go prepared to use opera glasses during the MC. I wonder when the merch will come out. Might as well enjoy it since I'm going.

>471 The same image as on the official site appears on the cover, and I could view the article normally. For reference, I'm on an iPhone 4S. What exactly is happening?

>477 Solved it myself. Thanks.

Hiroki, you're annoying. Disappear.

I hope they add an extra show at TDCH in July.

Hatchin, you're annoying. Disappear.

>472 Because it's still better than the back of the first floor, I guess.

Got row 2.

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b147703657

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

>484 Rows 1–5? Yeah, it's row 5ｗ

It's less than a month away now.

>487 They'll still be active for a little over five months, though.

If there's going to be something after the live, I wonder if they'll announce it when the final day is over.

>488 There won't be. The only activity is for the staff. >489 Nope. Don't get your hopes up about an FC event or anything. Burn yourself out completely on June 9. That's what I'm going to do too. Better not expect anything weird.

I wanna meet Hiroki-kun at the live. I wanna meet Hatchin-kun at the live. I wanna meet Koji-kun at the live.

Did the ticket-transfer thread on Mixi disappear(´･ω･`)?

>486 If it were the very front row, that price would be one thing, but for row 5 it's a total scam.

>491 A crazy person's murder threatｗｗ

>492 I heard it got deleted for violating the community rules or something.

>490 > “THE ONE 〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” Buyer Bonus Campaign! > > ★ A buyer bonus entry ID is included (entries close at noon on June 30, 2013). > Everyone who purchases “THE ONE 〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” will be entered in a lottery to win the following special items! > > A: Goods individually selected by each of the four members, awarded to one person each, four winners total! > B: An extra-large GARNET CROW poster with your name and the members' handwritten signatures, awarded to 20 people! > > ★ Everyone who enters will be able to watch a special GARNET CROW video. Signing the posters for B is definitely an activity after July, isn't it?

>496 Whaｗ That counts as activityｗｗ? Even if they write the names, staff could do it and nobody would knowｗ

>492 There are several communities, so try searching. There are lots of themｗ But buying them back above face value is a massive violation of the rules, Mixi. I guess it's being posted by the losers who lost out on Yahoo Auctions.

>497 If staff write them, then it defeats the whole point. In that case I'll write it myselfｗｗｗｗ

Hiroki is the only one who should seriously ○ie. Where are you going to work?

>497 That's less “activity” and more like pieceworkｗ

Is there no arm reflector for the final live?

>500 Shut up, you crazy Kansai personｗｗ

The ticket prices skyrocketing is shocking enough, but 13,000 yen for an arm reflectorｗ http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h176761927

What the hell, GARNET is insanely popular.

This is going to be my first and last live, so if there are any usual live songs or songs you think they'll definitely play (other than singles), please tell me.

Hiroki, just keep going to voice-actor lives for the rest of your lifeｗｗｗｗ

ID:MzQ7P84K0＝ID:daG8QbZqO This is beyond just ignoring him. Seriously, shouldn't we report this guy to the police? It's been going on for days, right? I've never seen anyone this crazy.

I did my best for Yuri-san today too.

>508 I think so too. He's a genuinely crazy person who you never know what he'll do.

>506 You should start by watching one live DVD. You'll get a feel for the crowd too. Most of the songs will probably be singles, so it's hard to predict. 聖地 (an old staple) wish (there's a hand-wave) ロンリーナイト (they'll probably include it for promotion) Maybe around those?

Remember softly〜 until it withers away〜 tonight still〜 entrust yourself to me〜♪

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b145430494 This is probably row 2ｗ

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

>513 I think so tooｗ

Hatchin, hurry up and reply to Hiroki, you loser.

Does not posting a picture of the ticket make it look like a scam?

>517 I don't think that necessarily means it is. If you're worried, use Yahoo's Easy Payment—the payment for tickets is processed after you confirm receipt.

>517 There aren't that many scams on Yahoo Auctions. FC tickets have names written on them, so some people don't post pictures. As for Mixi, it's nothing but scamsｗ

>517 It might be suspicious if the seller is a new account or has a low rating.

Paying in advance through Mixi or Twitter is obviously completely shady, but I also wonder how people can hand over tickets on the day to someone they barely know in real life. Don't they worry about not being able to get in touch or something? Compared with that, auctions are at least reassuring because you receive the ticket beforehand.

ID:MzQ7P84K0＝ID:daG8QbZqO=ID:h51Wva3I0 is a jobless nutcase who has been obsessively hanging around here every day.

What time does the advance merch sale start this time?

Putting the schizophrenic and the Yuri-san guy aside, there are at least four pieces of trash camped out in this thread. ・Johnny's otaku = replies to every post from a phone ・Luciola troll = Twitter troll ・anti-Being nutcase = the person trying to split up the Kuraki thread = an Aiuchi or Saegusa fan? ・pervert = fake-fan anti

ID:MzQ7P84K0＝ID:daG8QbZqO=ID:h51Wva3I0＝Luciola troll＝Twitter troll, right?

But there are fans whose hearts were stolen by Yurippe's Western-style plump lips, right?

Predicting the merch! ・Pamphlet ・Lonely Light ・Bound music freak ES ・T-shirt ・A stuffed Yurikumma ・Towel ・Keychain or strap ・MINIQLO album ・Nana Hall (a mold of AZUKI Nana) ・Cloth bag ・Shoulder keyboard in God Hand style ・An Okamon ornament

Why does a ticket with a good seat number belong to a ticket scalper? Mine is even farther back than that(ToT)

Hatchin-kun, reply already. I wanna do naughty things with Hiroki-kun.

For the Musing advance Tokyo tickets, does it run from the back of the first floor to around the middle of the second floor?

>530 I got second floor, row 1●.

So he's schizophrenic and a hardcore homo too?

Tickets in the second-floor seats are going for two or three times face value. However you look at it, that's insane. I wish the official side would do something, even if it's just a desperate last-ditch effort.

What color glow sticks are most common at GaneCraw lives?

I've only been to two shows where they handed out glow sticks. I think they were red. By the way, why do Twitter people insist on organizing their own events?

I want to spend some steamy time with Hiroki-kun.

The glow sticks handed out at the Seichi show were a color that was neither blue nor purple. You should be able to tell from the DVD. Lonely Light is sometimes blue and sometimes yellow-orange, though from the back it looks white.

I was debating whether to buy a ticket for the final day, even if it meant using Yahoo Auctions, but it looks like the supply is drying up too. It's not a price I can afford anyway, so I'll give up. I'll enjoy the first Osaka day that I got through the advance sale, and spend the final day relaxing while watching this thread. If it's mostly singles, I'd like to hear “Last love song” or “Hare-dokei.”

>533 They've sold out and can't be bought now, so how is that abnormal at all?

>537 Lonely Light has a white back, so when you look at the crowd there's no consistency and it's all uneven. Some people even hold the white side outwardｗ Since it's the last one, I kind of want everyone to use GARNET colors.

>539 The back of the Musing ticket says: “Please be aware that resold tickets will be invalidated, and you may be refused entry.” So if you take the wording literally, they're selling invalid tickets for more than face value.

>535 >537 Thanks. I'll bring a color stick and decide on the color after seeing the situation at the venue.

>540 Since it's the last one, I was thinking of doing something stupid like connecting two Lonely Lights and waving them around. Is that not okayｗ?

>543 There are people holding four lights, so it's fineｗ Just don't hold them like an otagei performer, okayｗｗｗ With the hassle of handing out glow sticks, they might as well just make everyone buy a light and call it a day.

Over 100,000 yen, huh〜 Find out who the seller isｗ

>541 I wonder whether bidders who don't even have a ticket know what it says on the back of the Musing ticket.

>545 It'd be quicker to report it to the FC, I think. No idea whether they'll do anything about itｗ

People who get jealous probably haven't had very good lives.

If they invalidated the resold tickets and sold them again, the scalpers would lose money, the agency would make money, and the fans would get more chances—win-win. But they're too lazy, so they probably won't do it.

>542 Just to be clear, you can't use them for songs other than the designated ones, and the only acceptable lights are Lonely Light or the glow sticks they hand out.

>549 How much would it cost to do that? There's no way the agency would make money.

Good morning, Yurippe.

>549 The scalpers wouldn't lose money, would they...

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

>551 They could check IDs and reissue the tickets rejected there as same-day tickets.

Selling same-day tickets after doing all those checks wouldn't be in timeｗ Some people show up right before the show starts too. Anyway, file a complaint. Maybe they'll do something about it〜ｗ

I couldn't afford the high-priced resales, so part of me wants to watch the people get rejected at the door on the day and go “serves you right.”

There's no way to check tickets for accompanying guests, so it wouldn't mean much.

>558 You have to enter together with the person whose name is on the ticket. They'll check every time you leave your seat. Though the Tokyo tickets have already been sent out, so it's too late for that now. If there's going to be any announcement, it'll be for Osaka.

If they sing “夢みたあとで” on the final day, let's all join in and hype it up♪

>559 If the named ticket holder suddenly can't go because of an emergency, then the accompanying person gets dragged into it too? Screw that rule.

I'd be fine with it if every FC ticket, including tickets for companions, were named tickets and they checked every single one. Otherwise, there are ultimately all kinds of practical problems.

The staff's feeling of “Ugh, a breakup live is such a pain〜” is written all over the website. When are they planning to announce the tour merch?

>560 Apparently it means they're saying “Please stop fan-led events.”

This is nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRAp_UXGnQ

>561 Look, normally they check the named ticket holder. If you can't go, you contact the FC beforehand. They do this at lots of shows with good seats. Since they don't check every seat, it doesn't cost that much.

>562 B'z does that, right? The agency can do it, so they should just do it properlyｗ That's what I thinkｗｗ

Scalpers have helped me out plenty of times, though〜 Even if I can't get a ticket, I can always buy one on an auction as a last resort.

I'd been away from them for a while, then checked the news for the first time in ages and saw that the live was right around the corner. I immediately bought and listened to the new release, and wanted to go so badly that I went using a resold ticket. That was my first GARNET CROW live.

If I hadn't managed to get into that live with a resold ticket, I might still be just a fan who listens to them without ever going to shows. There are people like that too.

I want to go to a Nana Mizuki live with Hiroki. I want to do it in a hotel.

Hey, let's do something naughty, Yurippe.

>564 Where did you hear that? If there's no clear source, I'm going ahead with it!

Can you only view CD Data on an iPhone? Let us see it on the website too.

>539 How can anyone say this isn't abnormal when scalpers are making two or three times the price, or more? I hope there isn't anyone this stupid in the official camp.

I'm saying the situation where scalpers show up isn't abnormal. Nobody was talking about how much profit the scalpers make.

Come on, calm down.

I'd pay even 100,000 yen for a Yurippe swimsuit photobook.

Then I'll bid 150,000!

GARNET CROW breaking up is just genuinely sad.......

>580 You son of a bitch...!

Hey, let's do something naughty, Hiroki-kun.

Hiroki-kun sure is popular.

>567 Technically, what they sell is a named ticket exchange voucher. At the venue entrance, they scan the voucher's barcode and issue the actual ticket, so you don't know where your seat is until then.

>576 The “abnormal” part refers to the price being two or three times face value. Can't you read Japanese? Prices on auctions simply reflect demand as it is. Since you're making such a big deal about the price, I'll deliberately give an extreme counterargument: the value to the viewer is obviously completely different between the front row and the last row, so a pricing system that sets them at the same face value is more abnormal. Of course, doing something outrageous with a music event would be abnormal in another sense.

I got one Tokyo ticket through Musing, paid 50,000 through the resale market for Osaka on the 8th, and got the 9th through FC priority. I'll be going to all three shows. I'm lucky just to have managed to get three tickets.

They've never cracked down on resales before, so are they really going to start now? Even if they do it now, there won't be another live after this, so why not just pretend you didn't see anything? At this point, there's no way to distinguish a ticket transferred at a high price from one transferred at face value. If they really did it, there'd probably be around 500 empty seats at each venue. Would the members be happy about that? At the March live, nobody was in the fourth-floor seats on the 29th, but the 30th was almost full, and apparently Yurippe looked pleased when she saw it. Even if they do it now, the resellers won't lose anything at all. The scalpers got almost everything outside the FC allocation this time anyway. Is it really okay for fans willing to pay to be unable to go? If you're going to spend effort on that, please pour more effort into the live stage, the content, and so on.

Are we really going to talk about nothing but tickets all the way until the breakup? I'm sick of it.

>586 It was originally approved at a price of 6,500 yen, and they're inflating it through unfair means for their own profit, aren't they? In the first place, scalpers don't even have the right to sell them. Since the original seller has the right to invalidate the tickets, the original seller is the one who controls the tickets' value.

Can't we at least finish things amicably and happily? The members and everyone involved must be having a tough time too. Anyway, hurry up with the merch details. I'd be happy if they released something like a folding umbrellaｗ

>589 Well, there's no point saying this now, but the ticket issue has also become an outlet for the frustration that's been building up since the breakup announcement.

Then how about talking about which part of Yurippe you like?

I checked the official site for the first time in ages and found out they were breaking up. Seriously? Was it because the members' direction changed?

>594 The decline of member Nakamura and her heavy makeup causing fans to leave was the decisive blow.

>594 According to the members, “We'd gotten everything out.” Apparently they'd already been considering breaking up around last autumn. Starting around “parallel universe,” the number of original tracks on the albums and the variety of song patterns had both dropped sharply. The announcement came just when I was thinking, “Maybe they're running out of ideas,” so personally, I can accept that as the reason. Still, I wish they'd continue, even if only for a little longer...

I don't really understand where this is going. Are they going to check identification documents or something?

>596 I'd have been fine with them releasing an album once every two years. I wanted them to continue for a long, long time. But they aren't selling well, so I guess it doesn't work for the agency.

>594 I heard they just couldn't stand the decline in the quality of the fans (not that it concerns me).

Running out of ideas is one thing, but stop putting out the same kind of albums over and over just to make a little pocket change.

Well, the longer they go on, the more similar songs they're bound to accumulate. The question is whether you see that as a GARNET-style song or as stagnation.

I wish they'd put around 200 songs out into the world.

Well, mass-producing one-pattern ballads was obviously a failure.

Secretly, I got bored of them once around the “Rai Rai” era.

Please release the “夢みたあとで” PV.

I wonder if they'll release a DVD of the PV collection.

>599 Probably one of those obsessive schizophrenics...

If I want to complete my GARNET CROW collection, is it enough to buy next week's A-side best and last year's B-side collection? I'm not worrying about single versions or remixes. I want to know all the songs at the live.

It comes out next week?

Sorry, next week is right.

>608 If you want to collect the single songs through albums alone, ・10th Anniversary Best first pressing (“Ushinawareta Monogatari”) ・All Lovers (“Yasashii Ame,” “Over blow,” “CANDY POP,” “Shiawase na Pet,” “Cried a little”) will get you almost everything. Songs never included on an album: ・Timing ・Matsuri no Jikan ・Itsuka Mata Aimashou ・Kaze no Oto Dake wo Kiite ・Ring ring a ding ・clockwork ・lalala Sorekara 123 ・I can't take… ・Kaze no Naka no Orugooru ・Happy swallow

>608 Adding to >611: If you buy next week's singles best, coupling-song best, 10th Anniversary Best, and All Lovers, you'll have almost all the single songs.

http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b147802557 99% sure it's row 5.

It's hilarious that the Musing allotment around row 20 on the second floor is still unsoldｗ Scalpers, go die.

I'm not doing my best for Yuri-san today.

I seriously want them to release a MINIQLO album.

The commercial is done.

I like the MINIQLO jacket better than GARNET's.

I've only ever heard the first Mini-Crow album, but they didn't re-record the vocals, did they?

>617 I wish they'd spent a little more money on it〜 Will it air during Conan? This is the last time I'll be watching Conan too.

I got scammed out of GaneCraw tickets. 13,000 yen for two tickets. It was on a site called M●X●. I looked into it and apparently quite a lot of people have been scammed there.

Oh dear.

You jumped at the too-good-to-be-true offer of someone transferring sold-out tickets at face value.

I wonder when they'll release the last live DVD〜 If possible, I hope she doesn't wear heavy makeup for the final one.

I wonder if they'll release a Terminus DVD.

I want to become the sperm ejaculated inside Yurippe and unite with her egg.

I wish they'd release a PV collection of the old songs〜 The recent ones have mostly been included as bonuses, though.

>625 Are you saying that on purpose? It's “Terminus.”

>628 Are you doing that on purpose yourself?

I'd like a PV collection too, but they didn't make full versions before “timeless sleep.” If they do one, it'll probably be a Complete Box like people mentioned above. I want them to release the Budokan show, the Bread Factory Valentine's live, the 5th Anniversary Premium show that only got partially put on disc, Symphonic, the Kobe school festival, release events, the Shibuya joint show, OTO DAMA, and so on—even if they aren't full-length.

Sorry to bring this up again, but can you really only get the Miniqlo stuff at the live venue? Last time I couldn't go because I was sick, and it was the first time I couldn't buy it. Is it a four-track release?? I kind of like the Miniqlo jacket too. The recent Gane stuff is painful to look at with Yurippe's same old heavy makeup...

Yuri-san's heavy makeup for “Nostalgia” stirred up a blazing, lustful desire in me.

>631 But judging from the credits, that hair and makeup was done by a professional, right? It'd be one thing on stage, but on a jacket it's kind of a hmm situation. For the costumes, I think the ones around “5th” and “stay” were lovely. Personally, I wonder if they switched to this style because people liked the Symphonic look. That look worked because it was Symphonic, though... If Yurippe is the only one doing it and that's why it looks out of place, then let's just have all four of them wear makeupｗ

>630 The Complete Box would be around 40,000 yen, I guess? You probably won't be able to buy it later, but that's too much for meｗ

Way too much merch.

What do you think the Final T-shirt's “will be revealed after the live ends” is about? Something about it is bothering meｗ

“Final Badge.” The name has an absurdly strong finishing-move vibe.

The merch announcement is here. Lonely Light is now Final Lightｗ Maybe I'll buy both of them. Okamon is hereｗ

I don't know what Okamon is—what era is that character from? Did they put out merch of it before?

>639 This is the first time. Click the product image for details.

>637 Equipping it raises strength, defense, speed, and intelligence by 50, and doubles your experience and money.

Merch... don't put “Final” on absolutely everythingｗ I can already predict a Complete Box and 10th anniversary FC merch in the future. How much is this going to costｗｗ

GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜 Tokyo show: Additional tickets going on sale! NEW!! Because equipment seats have been released, a small number of tickets for the Friday, May 24 Tokyo International Forum Hall A show will go on sale! ※Limit: up to two tickets per person ※Even if you apply for two tickets, they may not be consecutive seats. On sale: Sunday, May 19, 10:00〜 Tickets: http://pia.jp/t/garnetcrow/

The charm is the same color as the feathers in the jacket photo.

People who tweet stuff like “You guys don't understand lives—be more like me” are sooo annoyinggggggggg.

Hiroki is cute.

>643 Equipment seats are actually pretty good locations, aren't they?

If they sold Yurippe's old outfits, they'd probably sell well.

Secret merch 　27. A masturbatory sleeve molded from Yurippe's vagina　　\30,000

>647 Not good. There's a high chance your view will be cut off. But it might still be closer than the back of the second floor.

The Final Lights are sold out before the final dayｗ

>636 It really is intriguing. Going from a crow to a butterfly means they'll change their name and keep going!!!!

>652 Maybe they'll be reborn as Papillonｗ? It'd be sad if they all flew off individually instead of forming a flock...

I can't read the letters after “Butterfly.” Is it the name of a new group?

>654 Maybe k○○d? I can't read any more than that.

>647 Close, but hard to see. I've been in equipment seats for other artists, and often you can't see anything. Jumping was banned in those seats alone.

There'll probably be someone waving all eight lights together, including the old Lonely Lights. 　 　 　　　　Yep, that's me....

I'm going to my first and last Tokyo live. Bringing luggage in is okay, right? A shoulder bag, nothing too big. For reference, I'm in the second-floor seats.

Beware of breakup-marketing tactics.

I was planning to buy the complete set of all the merch I've always dreamed of, but even I have to think twice about the Final Light. I do want the kaleidoscope.

>658 It's fine. You can put it by your feet.

>654 There can't be any other explanation than a message hidden in the T-shirt design that they specifically can't reveal until after the live ends, right?? Could they unveil their debut single at the very end on 6/9?

>658 Thanks〜

Even if they say Yurikumma's rival has appeared, there won't be any chance to compete anymore... orz

>654 Maybe “Butterfly Kiss”? I looked it up, and apparently it means “blinking and touching the other person's face with your eyelashes.” Incidentally, there is already a band called Butterfly Kiss.

>665 It also looks like “Butterfly Knot” (a midshipman's hitch). It gives off a “let's all stay connected” kind of feeling, and the fact that it's “butterfly knot” rather than a bow knot is a suitably contrarian GARNET touch.

>662 I'm betting on someone's marriage.

>666 That's it! I guess we'll learn the real meaning at the final show〜

>595 sounds weirdly convincingｗ But >596 made me understand. Thanks. I had definitely been thinking that the original material was decreasing after the best album, but I want to hope for a comeback like Do As Infinity.

I wonder if they'll have camera crews at Tokyo and the first Osaka show.

>670 They might have cameras for archival purposes, but I think only the 9th will be made into a DVD. So the other two shows might actually be the rare onesｗ

If they change their name and debut as a new group after all this, it'd be one hell of a breakup-marketing schemeｗ They even disbanded the FC.

CARNET GROW debut confirmed!

>647 That would be true in an arena venue. But when you consider the layout of a hall, do you really think they'll release good seats? ATSUSHI once had seats released in the Forum's opened-up section. For the final day, I'd be fine even with the toilet or the hallway.

Worc Tenrag debut confirmed!

>672 Maybe one of the members will leave? Since Gane is the four of them, if even one leaves, it won't be Ganeｗ Well, if that happens people will call it breakup fraudｗｗ Maybe Osaaan will go behind the scenes like Igarashi from ELT... Once you start thinking about it, there's no endｗ

How insanely positive are you? It's creepy.

Only Yurippe leaves → funeral. Only Yurippe remains → welcome. That's the reality.

>676 They even got the media involved and made a huge announcement, and each of them is going down a separate path, so I doubt it. If that were the case, I'd feel even more shocked than by the breakup itself—like, how badly are they playing with the fans' feelings?

If only Yurippe leaves, is Mochi going to sing? We don't need a band like that.

Even if they debut solo, I feel like they wouldn't produce any decent songs.

I went to see Being's own building? It was moving. Is it bigger than Rocking On in Shibuya? The parking lot had GIZA written on it. I'm curious when this building was constructed. I was following them from 1993 to 1998, so...

Masturbating to Yurippe → ascending to heaven.

Reunion in November with Koichi Kurose added to the lineup. They'll be called GARNET CLOSE.

>679 Well, yeahｗ There's no wayｗ Mondevi made a separate unit too, and that went nowhere〜

Anyway, apparently they're releasing a Request Best in the fallｗｗｗ What the hell is this companyｗ

The only things you can request as coupling tracks are songs that haven't appeared on an album.

http://www.japanesebeauties.net/japanese/rina-yuuki/44/rina-yuuki-10.jpg http://www.japanesebeauties.net/japanese/rina-yuuki/44/rina-yuuki-8.jpg http://www.japanesebeauties.net/japanese/rina-yuuki/44/rina-yuuki-7.jpg They look way too similar, I'm dyingｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Going by the flow on Wikipedia, the rise of avex Komuro (techno? dance culture) made Being's big names seem like the previous generation and decline. Then, taking advantage of that, they tried to make effective use of all their accumulated assets... An expansion into Osaka? (A fall from the capital? Easier to work at a distance from Burning?) I guess land to the left of Yotsubashi-suji was still cheaper back then than on the Amemura side. Probably. An integrated development like Tokyu Bunkamura? So a music software company wasn't just buying up real estate and developing it for its own sake...

http://www.japanesebeauties.net/japanese/rina-yuuki/13/rina-yuuki-11.jpg This one tooｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

They're obviously different people, so who cares? Go die.

>686 They're trying to suck GARNET's legacy dry to the bone...ｗｗｗ They say they'll decide the tracklist based on requests, but I don't buy itｗ I bet a million pelica they “won't seriously consider the requests.”

>686 It's just that company's usual pattern, so what can you do. Is there going to be a NicoNico special? But I'll be in Osaka that day and won't be able to watch it；； That site won't connect—will I be able to watch it later? Will I be able to watch the first one and the making-of Otabe again too? There'll probably be lots of viewers this time with AKB fans coming too.

The members probably aren't happy about the number of best albums increasing because of the breakup either.

Is that CD Data thing only back issues? Does it also have comments from after the breakup announcement? I don't own an iPhone, so I can't view it either way.

>691 Don't get angry just because it wasn't quite what you expectedｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

There was already Tachibana-dori, the furniture street, plus stylish little shops and stylish restaurants, and then the live house and music school that were the core business... Once those seeds were planted, fashion buildings and other stylish businesses gathered there too. If they could create an image of Horie as a stylish spot, the tenant vacancy rate probably stayed low even during the recession, right? I haven't walked into this area since 1999, so I really feel like Rip Van Winkle. Seeing Kitahorie Hospital and Kamadoya made me hate it. I don't have any unusually bad memories, but it gave me that feeling of “Do people really have to keep living?” This has nothing to do with Gane itself, though... I don't even remember Horie Park well enough to call it a “poop park,” but Ono Memorial Hospital... and Sundai Law School had turned into a cram school. Was the non-destructive testing place near Nishiohashi Station? Maybe because back then I walked north of Kurimoto Iron Works toward Naniwa-suji? You don't remember the park? Thanks to Gane, the same streets look different now.

If they're putting out a Request Best, they should leave out the songs from the singles best. Otherwise more than half of it will be singles anyway.

> It's fine to wave it during hype songs, or wave it during ballads. Seriously, stop with the Final Light. If people keep flashing them here and there the whole time, it'll just get in the way.

>699 If they were single-color, stick-shaped glow sticks like blue or red, that'd be one thing, but with the two colors this time plus people bringing their old lights, the audience is going to get incredibly colorful. I feel like, in a way, that'll interfere with the stage productionｗ I've never bought a light before, and I don't plan to buy one this time either. I wonder if I'm in the minority〜

>698 They'll probably add some bonus or other added value to make people buy it again... And they look like they'll release a Complete Box at the end of the year tooｗ

How many songs will we be able to request? If it's only one, it's obviously “Timing.”

> The eight-and-a-half-hour program will also feature a live talk segment near the end with voice actress Saki Fujita, known as the voice of Hatsune Miku and a self-proclaimed huge GARNET CROW fan, and AKB48's Sumire Sato. Mikako Komatsu, another voice actress and GARNET CROW fan who was completely crushed on Twitter when she heard about the breakup, wasn't invited... Wait, eight and a half hours?!

>695 Just back issues.

Does Yurippe poop too?

When is it happening on NicoNico Live?

>653 “We're getting married” → they sing “Butterfly” or something.

It's almost time for Conan—the time slot where they might run the commercial.

Hatsuponｗｗｗ Eight Booksｗｗｗｗｗ

>707 Why Kaelaｗ >708 It's been nothing but B'z lately, right? I want them to air a commercial soon.

ID:s/dJrkJ40=ID:uI+ZdrIx0 The schizophrenic is still going strong.

ID:XiBlc08r0 The pervert is still going strong.

A Request Best, huh... Since it's the last one, I would've preferred a best album of re-recorded early-to-mid-period songs.

>692 GIZA is good at that kind of thing, right? I keep thinking, “How long do they plan to keep profiting from ZARD?” Though I guess they can draw a bigger crowd than GARNET CROW.

Even if people call it breakup marketing, I'd honestly be happy if they kept working. AZUKI would leave, and Furui would be kind of questionable, I guess.

Didn't they just do a Request Best around the time of the B-side thing? It'll be a rigged race again anyway.

What kind of combination is Sumire Sato and Saki Fujita? Did they run out of money before they could get Sayaka Yamamoto?

NicoNico Live special confirmed!! NEW!! To celebrate the release of “THE ONE〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜,” a final GARNET CROW NicoNico Live special has been scheduled! In addition to letting viewers listen to every song on “THE ONE〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜,” the previous three NicoNico Live specials will be rebroadcast. Near the end of the program, there will also be a live talk segment with voice actress Saki Fujita, known as the voice of Hatsune Miku and a self-proclaimed huge GARNET CROW fan, and AKB48's Sumire Sato. Eight and a half hours of fun! Enjoy!! ※GARNET CROW themselves will not appear. ※A message from all four GARNET CROW members is scheduled to air at the end of the program. ＜Program title＞ “GARNET CROW Best Album Release Celebration: Saki Fujita & Sumire Sato Talk About Their Memories” ＜Broadcast time＞ Saturday, May 25, 17:00〜Scheduled to end at 1:30 a.m. ＜Viewing URL＞ http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv133475979

How many best albums is thisｗ If they made one out of songs that haven't appeared on the previous best albums, wouldn't it cost less and sell better to give people a bonus for buying several old albums at the live venue? The clear-file campaign starting next week is also limited to very few locations, and we don't even know how the old releases are being handled.

They might put out a “Best of Best” one day.

They'd definitely sell more if they released a complete single PV collection for 7,000 yen.

Maybe Okamocchi will release a cover album tooｗ

The real question is whether they broke up on good terms with everyone in agreement.

>715 I agree completely!! But there are four butterflies on the Final T-shirt, so maybe it means the four of them will always be together?

>724 >666 >662 Spaces stop them from becoming anchors, you know.

So the singles best is coming soon and the Request Best is coming in the fall? What the hell.

>722 I'd genuinely want that, but they don't do things that cost money.

>726 Five best albums in 13 years? Maybe they're aiming for the Guinness record...

Another best album in the fall, huh〜 I have a feeling there might be an FC closing event or something.

>729 I have a feeling only Okamocchi will show up, like at the early FC eventsｗ

Club Citta Kawasaki, huh. There was an event like that too.

The agency has completely lost its mind.

I don't need another album. I want them to sell unreleased songs and a PV collection that hasn't been released. Who the hell is going to buy “Best of all”ｗ

I warned them over and over that, since this was the final best album, they should let the fans vote on the tracks. I can't believe this is what came back... Well, I'll buy it anyway.

Where can I see the merch info(´･ω･`)? I couldn't find it on the official site.

GIZA's marketing has always been like this, so I've stopped being surprised by what they're doing this time. By the way, when is the Terminus live DVD coming out? Will it be released at the same time as the last live DVD?

The AKB entry on Wikipedia already has “AKB marketing.” Maybe GIZA marketing is coming soonｗ

>735 What are you looking at? ttp://www.garnetcrow.com/news/livescope_thefinal/index.html

One butterfly on the T-shirt looks like it's far away from the others, and in the ALL SINGLES BEST feathers, only Okamocchi's color is behind the mirror ball. Could it mean Okamocchi goes solo and the other three reunite? Probably not...

My ID is full of GARNET “g”sｗ And just like >739 says, they're split into three and one.

Next week's Tokyo show will probably just end up being a normal live. Yurippe won't cry or say anything behind-the-scenes-ish. Yep, everything is for the final day.

My ID is cｗ

>738 Thanks. But it's expensive〜

I think this every time, but the pamphlet pricing is ridiculous. They probably make it expensive because everyone will buy one, but it sucks for people who want one and can't afford it.

Maybe: GIZA marketing.

I'll post the NicoNico Live schedule for now. 17:00〜 Music video screening 1 17:15〜 “THE ONE〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” listening session 1 18:20〜 Rebroadcast of the 2011/9/2 “GARNET CROW × Detective Conan: 10 Tie-In Works Celebration Special” 19:30〜 “THE ONE〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” listening session 2 20:15〜 Music video screening 2 20:40〜 Rebroadcast of the 2011/12/7 “GARNET CROW New Album Release Celebration: Live Broadcast of the Legendary Radio Program ‘PASTIME PARADISE’!” 22:50〜 “THE ONE〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” listening session 3 23:40〜 Rebroadcast of the 2012/9/29 “GARNET CROW New Single ‘Nostalgia’ & Live DVD Release Celebration Special” 24:30〜 Saki Fujita & Sumire Sato Talk About Their Memories ※The timetable is only a guide and may run earlier or later.

I watched the previous NicoNico Live in the arena, and there were people who seemed like GIZA or Being otaku flooding the comments with incredibly intense messages. It honestly put me off a little. They knew the performers could see the arena comments perfectly and still did that. I wonder if there'll be a live viewing on the 9th. Knowing GIZA, I wouldn't be surprised if they're hesitating because it might lower DVD sales or something.

I went ahead and reserved the time-shift.

If the Symphonic DVD is impossible, I wish they'd release an orchestral arrangement album instead〜

Yuri: “We have an important announcement for everyone from us here. 　　We will be breaking up after the upcoming Tokyo and Osaka shows! 　　We have given everything we had as GARNET CROW. 　　Thank you all so much for supporting us over these long 13 years. 　　Right now we're filled with gratitude toward all of you and a sense of accomplishment. 　　But we'll keep giving it our all right up until the final live, so please come support us at the last live too. Thank you. 　　We want to have fun and get excited together with everyone at the last live, 　　so will you all come hang out with us? Will you help us get fired up? Let's enjoy it together. 　　Thank you so much for today. We'll be waiting for you at the last live!”

I got scammed by M●X●. A lot of people are telling me I should report the damage to the police, but I'm scared because I don't know what the other person might do if they learn my address and name. Should I just accept the loss? There's also something called certified mail, but I'm so frustrated and angry I can't stand it. It was my fault for letting my guard down, though.

>751 Depends on the amount, but don't beat yourself up.

There's no way the victim's information is going to leak to the other party. Are there really people who get fooled by this kind of thing?

I thought maybe it's because they already gave the scammer the address to send the ticket to after paying, but rereading >751, maybe that's not what happened?

Got a Forum extra seat by being first in line on Pia.

>755 Around what row?

Not very good. First floor, though. I'm keeping the row to myself.

AZUKI-san is so beautiful that living is painful again today.

Does Nana-san suddenly look young and then suddenly look old? She was incredibly beautiful at Terminus, and it surprised me. Though I was seeing her with my own eyes, so maybe she'd look different on the DVD. The agency probably tells her to make various efforts, but since she herself seems to think it's a pain, maybe it varies depending on the time.

Whenever they do a Request Best, it'll just be full of early songs, right? There are good songs after the seventh album too. The director here doesn't do any work at all. At least attach some clever bonus DVD or something. Well, it costs money, so they probably won't. (sigh)

These should be absolute locks, right?

>761 What is this annoying way of writing?

I don't really see any need to write “GARNET CROW” over and over.

That's what happens when you copy and paste from iTunes.

Even if you line up more than a thousand words...

Prediction for the last song ◎ スパイラル ○ ハレルヤ・エデン △ live・closer

Then don't copy and paste it.

Prediction for the last song ◎ スパイラル ○ Hallelujah, エデン, P.S.GIRL △ live, アルヘンティーナ, Nostalgia

>761 Do you think they'll include “Itsuka Mata Aimashou”?

>771 They'll probably include a few from the list in >611.

Wait, are the songs in >761 really absolute locks?

Other than crossing the traffic light from Amemura... While walking, I noticed there was also a flow of people from around Minatomachi River Whatever toward Horie and Tachibana-dori (Orange Street?). I was moved by Hills Bread Factory too—or maybe just by the fact that it actually exists. I had it lodged in my head from those announcement videos at night for lives by Rina Aiuchi and Mai Kuraki. Things like the Leaning Tower of Pizza and the Statue of Liberty, stuff I thought I'd never see in my life, really exist... It doesn't feel mixed up with a dream. I wonder what was there when I was working (which is impossible, so never mind), what kind of tenants there were, and whether it had already been built.

>767 Nice.

They're breaking up, huh... I liked “Mr. Holiday” and “Futari” too.

777 七七七 

>777 Ah! You got it first.

>777 I was too slow〜ｗｗｗ

The Tokyo ticket I got through the general sale is somehow in the very last row. Well, I'll be satisfied just feeling the atmosphere of the venue.

I want to chug Yurippe's pee from a beer mug.

I want to pour AZUKI-san's pee over rice and eat it slurpily.

Come to think of it, I noticed while looking at the merch today that there isn't a new Mini-Crow release...

Who am I supposed to listen to after GaneCraw breaks up? What artists have a similar musical style?

Evanescence.

As long as you're chasing Gane's ghost, you'll never escape its curse.

>786 Read the lyrics to “Koi no Aima ni”... Nana already anticipated all this. After love passes by, only its image keeps swaying forever, inviting you in so you can't live without looking back.

>781 and >782 I agree with both.

I thought Nana-sama was in a tea commercial, but it was Marinas.

I don't want Nanaー's pee as she is now, though.

>783 Maybe Mini-Crow will reunite under a new name. That Butterfly something-or-other.

>791 Nana goes behind the scenes, Furui becomes a support member, and Yurippe and Okamocchi form a unit.

Lyrics (keyboard): AZUKI Nana Music (keyboard): Yuri Nakamura Arrangement (keyboard): Hirohito Furui Guitar & vocals: Hitoshi Okamoto ...and a new unit called Butterfly K-whatever will be explosively born, right? The lives will basically be Mocchi plus support members.

>793 You don't need three keyboard players...

>791 Maybe a flag has been raised? Yurippe and Okamocchi could release a new song in the fall.

>793 Mochi: “Yurippe corner.” Otaku: “Wooooooah!!” >795 That ID was so close.

>795 How can you think about it so positively...? We won't know the truth until the final day, but if two of them were going to continue together, the agency would spend less money just letting the people who wanted out leave and changing the name, without disbanding the FC. Moving agencies or continuing without an FC would be understandable, but they've said each of them is going their separate way, so even forming a duo would mean deceiving the fans.

>797 If it isn't all four of them, disbanding the FC is only natural. It'd be weird to continue under a different band name. Anyway, I don't think there's going to be a new unit or anything either. Yurippe getting married and retiring would make the most sense to meｗ

My guess is Okamocchi and Nana-sama are getting hitched.

Obviously they'll all move behind the scenes. Maybe they'll only take the stage as live support. Nora is the best.

>800 How exactly does that follow from “obviously”? Today and tomorrow are the best.

Does the last album have a first-press limited edition or something?

>802 A handshake ticket.

>803 Thanks for the reply. Then I absolutely have to get one.

I'm lining up for the merch because I want to meet Hiroki-kun〜

>804 No, no, there isn't oneｗ

The legendary iTunes update is amazingｗ ttp://www.dotup.org/uploda/www.dotup.org4209224.png

What's so amazing about it?

>807 It groups things by disc.

I did my best for Yuri-san today too.

Huh?! There isn't a first-press bonus? I've been tricked orz

In four days I'll get to see Yuri-san with her dark-black labia o(^-^o)(o^-^)o

I sold the ticket for 100,000 yen･ﾟ･(つД｀)･ﾟ･ I could've sold it for more aaaaaaaaaa

>811 Sadly, it doesn't look like there is one(^^;;

It's my first live, but since this is the final one, do I need to get to the Tokyo merch line pretty early? I hope there'll still be Miniqlo stuff left in the evening.

Billboard Japan http://www.billboard-japan.com/special/detail/577

Blessings upon GaneCraw.

For Tokyo, seats near the equipment that went on sale Sunday might actually have been better than the Musing advance seats.

Nana-san is beautiful at lives, but she looks old in videos.

>816 The relationship between Nakamura and AZUKI seems kind of awkward. I can't believe they held hands when they appeared on Music Station. More importantly, I wonder if the “Natsu no Maboroshi” on the album coming out tomorrow is the single version.

>816 Oh〜 It's kind of brightｗ They didn't shoot the video for everyone who enters the best album campaign on the same day too, did theyｗ?

The thing where Osaaan looks like Giants' Michihiro Ogasawara. The thing where Basaaan looks like 130R's Itsuji Itao. The thing where Okamoon looks like Negix.

>816 35 songs on Disc 1 alone? I'm looking forward to the other two discs.

I noticed after posting it and looking at it that Furui-san and Mochi have big hands. Actually, everyone's fingers are so thin and long!

>823 No way, 35 songs won't fit on one disc. It's listed on Amazon.

>816 Yeah, “Crystal Gauge” is definitely the number-one wake-up song.

The wake-up blast is obviously “Timeless,” right?

>827 Hey, a fellow believerｗ

Damn, seeing the commercial is making me want to cry.

I feel like AZUKI-san's voice gets lower every year...

I cried over “closer.”

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

It's hilarious how “Someone Tell” gets absolutely no respect these days.

>833 Seriously. It's my favorite.

I like “Shiroi Sora,” “P.S GIRL,” and “Kagami ni Mita Yume.”

The one and only wake-up blast is “永遠に葬れ.” Going back to sleep is the best(^^)

>833 It's my favorite too. On the day they announced the breakup, I was listening to it on the train with tears in my eyes.

As women get older, their voices get lower, and men's get higher.

NACK5 played “Hare-dokei” and Komacchan's “Chance.”

Early morning: “Futari no Rocket” Normal: “Sky Blue” Weekends: “Crystal Gauge” I switch between “Call my name” and “Hare-dokei” depending on my mood.

“Hare-dokei” is a masterpiece.

Hearing “Kagami ni Mita Yume” at the final live would definitely make me cry.

>833 I'm glad someone appreciates “Someone Tell.” It's my favorite at Terminus.

>843 Are you saying that on purpose? It's “Terminus.”

I'm glad the best album uses the single versions for every song.

The music in the background of the special movie is a new song. I wonder if it'll be included on the Request Best.

>844 They called it “Telminus” at the live, though.

>847 They called it “Terminus” in the album promotion.

In the Billboard video, Furui Nana Okamoto　　Yurippe are arranged with a gap between them. Could Yurippe be leaving?

That's just where she sits because she's the MC.

It wasn't on sale yet.

I like the December coupling track from “Hare-dokei” better. Nora is the best.

>846 Oh, did you get it early?

Hey, can each person only vote for three songs in the Request Best... Now I'm having trouble choosing. スカイ・ブルー Rhythm lalala それから 1.2.3 Even though there are so many others.

>853 Through HMV mail order.

I suddenly got assigned work and can't go to the show on the 9th. Is transferring the ticket basically forbidden even if I give it away for free or sell it for ten times the price(´･ω･`)?

>856 Osaka show: Sound Creator　TEL: 06-6357-4400 Or call or email Being GIZA.

>856 At face value should be fine, shouldn't it? There are probably people who'd buy it even at ten times the priceｗ

>857 Will they refund me??

Re-debut confirmed! They'll be called GARNET CLONE!

>846 That song is “Sheol of Sorrow.”

New unit: GARNET Butterfly. Still waiting? Keyboard: AZUKI Nana (lyrics) Vocals: Yuri Nakamura (music) Guitar: Hitoshi Okamoto Produced by Hirohito Furui (arrangement)

Judging from the video, AZUKI-san and Yuri don't seem to be pregnant. Azuki-Mochi getting married seems the most likely.

Nana-san and Furui-san look like a married couple.

Did Nana-san and Furui-san get married, Yurippe got upset, and they broke up? Maybe Nana-san or Furui-san will move behind the scenes?

Do you have to buy THE ONE to vote in the Request Best poll?

>866 There'll probably be an update today or tomorrow.

In the end, nothing left as strong an impression as “Mizu no Nai (etc.).” There are lots of songs I like, though.

For the final one, wouldn't it be nice if the best album sold so insanely well that the agency regretted deciding to break them up, and it hit number one on the Oricon weekly chart and number one on the first-half 2013 album rankings?

>869 Selling 20,000 would be doing pretty well, I think.

There isn't much point in an artist supported by a fixed fanbase putting out a best album anyway.

The Request Best voting site has a field for your email address, but none of my addresses fit in it.

The message cards are completely gone...

The new song is god-tier, but nobody's talking about it at all.

【Billboard JAPAN】GARNET CROW “THE ONE 〜ALL SINGLES BEST〜” feature http://www.billboard-japan.com/special/detail/577

So they're really breaking up. I was hooked until their first live, but after that I stopped buying their CDs too. The last time I heard them was when they appeared as guests on All Night Nippon last year.

This is probably just me being unable to let go, but if they're doing a Request Best, it makes me want them to tour with it too.

>812 Yurippe's is salmon pink.

>873 Some idiot fans probably took every last one.

I wish they'd all just die. They're completely nuts.

>873 Ah... I was planning to write one before the Tokyo live, but I guess the predictable result happened.

Yeah, the background of the special movie really was a new song. Now I have to buy the Request Best too.

There was a note on the box saying one message card per person. It also said not to write slander or personal information... The message cards seem to be the same as the memo paper from the merch. Did they have a huge surplusｗ? The clear-file design is boring, but since I was there I bought four singles and collected all four designsｗ They were smaller than I expected. Half of A4, so A5 probably.

I don't want Friday to come...

They should've just handed them to buyers at the register.

Still, “Nostalgia” and “Happy swallow” are way too good. Just what you'd expect from the last single.

>883 Huh? They're the merch onesｗ? If there was no memo paper, couldn't people just write on the merch memo paper and submit itｗ? If they put merchandise out, it'll all disappear...

“Nostalgia” played right after the breakup announcement, so whenever I hear it I remember that moment and get traumatized. Am I the only one?

>874 I haven't heard it yet because I'm buying the CD at the live. There are probably lots of people like me, right? Besides, it's the early-release dayｗ

I want to submit a request, but the email character limit is way too short...

>890 Learn how to use sageｗ I've never heard of an email character limitｗｗ

>891 What the hell are you talking about... Try entering the email address you normally use on the request page.

>892 Use sage. Weirdos will show up otherwise. Though one already hasｗｗ When I said I'd never heard of an email limit, I meant “What the hell is GIZA doing?”ｗ

>893 Do you enjoy picking a fight with another fan?

>888 Yuri: “We have an important announcement for everyone from us here.” 　 　 　 　 　　　　　　　NOOOOO――:(ﾉ'A`)>:――!!

Using sage isn't fashionable these days. What do we do after the legendary board migration?

>894 Huh? This place isn't for youｗ Go have fun on Mixi or stupid Twitter. Look, another person bumping the threadｗｗ

I voted mainly for coupling songs that haven't appeared on albums!

picture of world the someone's tale いつかまた会いましょう That's what I went with.

If you want a best album, just make one yourself. Other people's requests don't matter to me.

I watched the video and think Nana-san is cute even as she gets older.

I was hesitant about the Lonely Light, but since it's the last one, maybe I'll buy it. The problem is what happens afterward. If I'm carrying that thing around, I'll look like a complete loser. If they reunite, it'd make all that wasted money disappear, though.

Final Badge Final Light

>882 What kind of song is it?

>895 I've never felt so strongly that I'd “reached enlightenment” myself.

>901 I think Nanaー's personality doubles her cuteness. Of course, she was cute to begin with. Her face and personality are both catlike and charming, which makes things difficult in all kinds of ways.

>904 It had the kind of atmosphere you'd expect from a “last” song. The members talk during the song, so I couldn't really make out the lyrics, but both the melody and arrangement were mellow. The arrangement was pretty simple, and I got the impression that Yurippe's voice was emphasized. I liked it.

>904 By the way, even thinking through their previous songs, I can't really think of anything similar. Maybe someone who's listened more closely could come up with one right away, though.

>908 The only thing I can say for now is that it's better than a coupling track.

The Tokyo live is getting close... I'm in the mediocre spot of row 15, though.

I wrote this before too, but since they announced the breakup, I've started thinking about her much more. I've gone and fallen for Yuri-san...

I dreamed that I had become a member of GaneCraw without knowing it while I was in the middle of having the flu. Then I woke up and immediately went back to sleep, and Nana-san, Mochi, and I were having a session.

It doesn't feel right for “Nostalgia” to be the last single. Bring on a new song!

>910 That's in front of the middle〜 I'm in the single digitsｗ Even around row 5, the Forum still feels pretty far away.

>914 Congrats on the single-digit row! Enjoy it to the fullest! I'm in row 30 through the FC orz I wonder if I'll be able to see properly... Still, I'm trying to think that at least I get to go.

“Fireworks in the Sky.” Please re-cut it. It's too much of a masterpiece.

Even people who aren't in the FC sometimes manage to get pretty good seats if they're lucky, right?

>917 That doesn't seem to happen with GARNET CROW.

>918 This is 917—thanks for the reply. I'm a general-sale buyer in Tokyo and it's my first live, so I was wondering. Still, with the live getting closer, thinking “this is the end” has been making me feel blue lately.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n68gXJIH24g Nana-san looks extremely uncomfortable. Does anyone else like “Blue Regret”? Or am I the only one?

Watching the video in >920 made me sad because it really hit me that it's all coming to an end. We're all getting old now, huh.

I like songs around: Blue Regret, 夜深けの流星達, 八月の夜, 未完成な音色, The Crack-up, 鏡にみた夢, Endless Desire, Elysium, 冷たい影, たとえば12月の夜に, 静寂のconcerto, ロンリーナイト, 僕らだけの未来, whiteout?

>915 Thanks. It's my first single-digit row. I've always been behind row 30 at the Forumｗｗ You might want to bring binoculars if you have them. Since it's the last one, I hope they use the screen... >920 I like it. But they said it was influenced by a drama, so that image might be especially strong for me.

The miracle of “Kimi wo Kazaru Hana wo Sakaso,” “Yasashii Ame,” and “Yofuke no Ryuuseitachi” all fitting on one single CD.

I would like to offer my penis to Nana-sama.

For your morning wake-up song, I recommend “Over Drive.”

The fan-club newsletter ｷﾀｺﾚ

>927 Seriously? I wonder if mine will arrive in another hour too.

I'm glad the new best uses the single version for every song. I prefer the single version of “Natsu no Maboroshi” too. As for the track order, I think Disc 1 should've been Mysterious〜夢みた, Disc 2 スパイラル〜今宵エデン, and Disc 3 まぼろし〜Nostalgia. Since it's in release order, I guess Nostalgia being last can't be helped...

How many people are planning to buy the 10th Anniversary pocket watch?

Listening straight through to that many singles would be exhausting.

>883 Is the group collecting them all to reduce the total number available and make themselves stand out?

>930 Is it in the newsletter? It'd be helpful if someone explained it clearly for those of us whose copies haven't arrived yet. Like the priceｗ

>930 No mention of a Complete Box?

Is the pamphlet going to be swimsuit-themed?

>934 If they release one, I think it'll be after the FC disbands. Maybe Musing will handle it. I'm guessing the end of the year.

Are “Kimi no Ie ni,” “Natsu no Maboroshi,” “Timeless,” and everything after “Over Drive” getting remastered for the first time?

>937 It goes like this.

After 13 years of activity, they'll have six best albums. ※Including the planned Request Best. Were “at the crest” the only ones the members themselves were involved in?

If you look at it in terms of remastering by Katsuhiro Shimada, then they'll all be firsts.

>920 Nana-san still looks as carefree as ever. Mochi should stop wearing hats that don't suit him. They make his face look huge, and it's gross. Osaaan looks cool even as he gets older.

Previous album remastering: American Ted Jensen. They pushed up the synthesizer and other sounds too much, which buried Yurippe's voice and made it hard to hear. THE ONE mastering: Masahiro Shimada, famous for ZARD best albums and so on. Yurippe's voice is much easier to hear.

>910 Ticket scams are running rampant on a certain social network. I guess I was lucky. Someone promised to hand over the ticket in person and then never showed up—could it get any worse?

943 I accidentally replied to the wrong post(T_T)

I can't vote for the Request Best because of the email address character limit.

You can apparently vote repeatedly in this pollｗ

They'll be choosing the tracks with the votes as a reference, so it doesn't have to be completely rigorousｗ

>933 The newsletter came with a payment slip. A birdcage-shaped pocket watch with a frame. It has a crimson crow on it, designed to look like it has folded its wings to rest. It comes with a serial number, member-number frame, box, drawstring pouch, and bonus items using newly shot photos. The back has an engraved handwritten signature. 18K gold, by the way (including tax and shipping).

Is the content of THE ONE properly done? Like the lyric booklet. The lyric booklet for Miho Komatsu's best album was awful.

Am I weird for being happy that my Tokyo ticket is row 17 because I thought, “That's pretty far forward!”? There are still tons of rows behind it.

>948 Thanks for the details. I wonder if the deadline is in June. I'll decide after I see it〜 The wristwatch from last time is still sitting unusedｗ >949 Apparently there are kanji errors. Like writing 簡単 as 間単ｗ

It's my first live, and the venue is Tokyo. Is row 38 on the first floor far away?

I want to have sex with Yuri.

>951 I'm not sure about the deadline, but apparently it's July 4, and shipping starts in early December in order of application.

I also thought the character limit in the email address field for the Request Best was too short, so I emailed G-NET. I just checked and they've removed the limit. Thank goodness.

My requests were: Timing 風の音だけを聞いて la la la Since they've already released a singles best, shouldn't singles be removed from the candidatesｗ?

>952 With my 0.7 eyesight, the members look like grains of rice, so binoculars or something are essential. But apparently Yurippe can see us from the stage?

>956 I basically agree with your stance. I won't deny that everyone has different songs they can't exclude from the singles, but I want the votes to be split by people putting all their selfishness and personal feelings into their requests.

王冠 タイムレ 君ピカ I posted those twice.

I just voted for: Rhythm スカイ・ブルー 祭りの時間

I picked songs that have never appeared on a best album: 永遠に葬れ Rusty Rail stay

Why are you posting the songs you voted for?

Holding you, and swinging Float World 君 連れ去る時の訪れを I wanted to include “WEEKEND” too. Three songs aren't enough.

hi-speed special oneday Rhythm trade “trade” probably won't make it...

逃れの街 Flower 祭のじかん

>964 No way that piece of crap is getting included.

Timing いつかまた会いましょう 祭りのじかん

You guys should vote for album-unreleased songs or indie songs. Dreaming of love A crown 永遠に葬れ

A Request Best with no singles would be cool and very GARNET-like.

But in the end it'll probably be a Request Best centered on already-remastered singles.

Are you guys going to wait outside for them?

Do you think I could get someone to give me a ticket if I hold up a sign near the Tokyo venue?

I might be the only one voting for “wish★.”

The smart move is to vote for coupling songs that haven't appeared on albums in the Request Best!

>957 Then I'll put glasses on over my contacts and go in with an estimated eyesight of 2.0, despite my actual 0.3.

No, sorry, I didn't think that far ahead. I'm just voting for the songs I like. It's the last one, after all.

It might be worth choosing songs with poor sound quality, assuming they'll be remastered.

It'd also be nice to pick one each from the A-sides, B-sides, and albums.

I want them to include the song playing in the special video on the Request Best.

If they were really going to put the highest-voted songs on the best album in vote order, that'd be one thing, but in reality “request” is just a cover story—the votes are only reference data for when they have trouble choosing tracks. That's GIZA quality.

There are already way too many singles best albums, so I don't feel like voting for singles in the Request Best!

I still think the Request Best is a rigged race. Well, I own all the CDs, so as long as it includes a new song, I don't care what else is on it.

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

It said, “This host can't create a thread for a while”... Someone else, please make the thread!

>983 Sorry, I didn't notice at all.

Nana-san has suddenly gotten really old. She looks like a grandma.

Nana-san isn't sick or anything, is she?

By the time the Request Best is released, the members will have broken up, so there won't be any promotional activities like interviews... What are the members going to do from now on... I guess the real reason for the breakup won't be made public until the very end.

Someone made the thread. GARNET CROW part286 http://toro.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1369231919/

>983 >985 Nice work.

They're number 10 on Oricon.

>991 Not enough... I hope they can go out on a high note by reaching number 4 one more time. Though there's still Request B.

Nana's already gotten a tan. She looks like a dark-skinned monkey.

>994 She must've gone on vacation to a southern island, surely.

Please release every episode of “Garnet Time” on DVD.

I saw an article about Ray Manzarek and wondered... have Gane's songs ever had keyboard tones like a Hammond or Fender Rhodes?

The date has changed. It's finally tomorrow.

If this is post 1000, the GARNET breakup was all just a dream ending.

If this is post 999, GARNET CROW comes back!!!

If this is post 1000, they break up.
