If this is post 2, GARNET CROW will live forever.

>1 One Otsu for you.

>1 花は咲い乙　ただ揺れ乙

A乙UKI >1

It's easy to create the next thread with 2chmate. Now, what should I request...

Yurippe: “I'm going back to being an ordinary housewife! Thank you all for everything!”

I requested the album-unreleased “いつかまた会いましょう”! It feels perfect for the final one.

Hatsupon!!

If this is post 1000, Yurippe is a virgin!

I went with “永遠を〜,” “君連れ〜,” and “マージナルマン.” I excluded songs included on the 10th Anniversary Best, ALL Singles Best, Coupling Best, and All Lovers, and that's what I ended up with.

Where can I listen to the new song?

It's Yurippe's second outfit from the 2012 live. She looks like she has huge boobs in the DVD— is it the shape of the clothes making her look busty?

>1 Even if you line up over a thousand Otsu...

“Elysium” is too much of a masterpiece.

>1 Happy 乙wallow

Please, forgive me Ring Ring a ding I can't take... I voted for these three overlooked masterpieces.

Looks like they won't be handling the Final. http://www.kaichiweb.net/live/live.html

I can't figure out which song the special video's BGM is...

>18 Maybe they just didn't write it down? After doing all that support work, can they really be left out at the end?

It's the site admin's kindness. They deliberately left it off because they want even one more GARNET fan to go to the live rather than a Kurose fan.

>18 He's a hired support member, so it can't be helped.

What are the email address and name on the survey going to be used for?

>23 The email is for identity verification. The name will probably be printed in the lyric booklet, like “Special Thanks to...”

Everyone's fired up right now, but I guarantee they'll have forgotten all about it in a month.

I didn't get a ticket, so I've gone pretty cold. My private life is cooling off too, though.

The heartfelt best album is only number 10 on the early-release chart? It's not selling at all. It's even below Hello! Project, whose albums don't sell...ｗ You guys need to set a quota like AKB otaku: at least 100 copies per person!

“懇親” → “渾身”

I voted for: Rusty Nail Endless Rain Alive

More importantly, the pocket watch is way too expensive. Please make it 15,000 yen.

From now on, this is GARNET Boost Week. Until the breakup, request GARNET songs relentlessly on the radio and cable music channels.

What time are you guys going tomorrow?

>27 Nobody's going to buy a best album with only a few more songs than the last one. The hardcore fans are probably all buying it at the venue anyway.

What time do you think people buying the kaleidoscope will start lining up?

Since this time there's only one edition and no first-press version, they should at least have included a new song. At this rate, not just casual listeners but even the otaku will ignore it. As usual, crappy Being is terrible at selling things... or rather, they don't even want to sell them.

Kaleido is just an ordinary kaleidoscope, right? I'm curious what the meaning of the clear-file T-shirt is.

>34 I want the Kurai-do merch, but is noon too late?

G-NET updated.

Apparently every song on the best album has been remastered, but “Doing all right” sounds so different it feels like it was re-recorded.

Anyone going to the International Forum by train tomorrow, myself included, should leave plenty of extra time. Not just tonight—there'll probably be train stoppages from accidents involving people tomorrow morning and evening too. The Nikkei will be down tomorrow as well.

This is my first live. Would you recommend buying one of the light-up merch items?

If it were an Osaaan re-arrangement, maybe, but just remastering it isn't enough.

>41 Better to have one!!

>41 You don't need one.

>31 I wonder if the cable music stations will do a GARNET CROW feature or something. I'd leave that channel on all day.

Is “Kimi-nchi” automatically the indie version? This is the one song where they should've given us two options, right?

Is the “Natsu no Maboroshi” on THE ONE the hidden-track version after all?

>47 The original version.

>47 It's actually the rip-off version.

>48 >49 Seriouslyｗｗ Thanks.

I wonder if they'll sell the leftover Ninna-ji long shirts.

Apparently there'll be a huge gathering of people waiting outside tomorrow. The “group” has nowhere left to go, so it sounds like they're going to get pretty wild.

Everyone, enjoy it for me too.

>52 What terrible fans. In that case, maybe the members will take another route with no fansｗｗ If the agency is reading this, please make that happen〜 Apparently Yurippe has often been taking that fan-free route lately.

>52 Is that a criminal threat?

For Hall A tomorrow, which entrance should we use for the advance sale? There seem to be three according to the map...

After hearing the song from the special video, I feel like I understand the meaning of the T-shirt illustration.

I'm going straight there after work tomorrow. Will I stand out if I'm wearing a suit? Though I guess nobody's going to be looking at me anyway.

>56 Whenever they've held it at the International Forum before, I remember entering through the entrance closest to Tokyo Station and lining up.

>58 I think you'll be completely fine.

>58 I'm planning to go in a tuxedo too. Don't worry about it.

>59 Thanks! I'll head over there first tomorrow and see.

>55 If we get killed like Sakai-san, it won't be funny.

GARNET CROW livescope 〜THE FINAL〜 Tokyo International Forum show: Additional seats going on sale due to the release of equipment seats! NEW!! ■Phone reservations accepted at the number below from 12:00 on Friday, May 24, 2013. DISK GARAGE 03-5791-3011 (12:00–16:00) ※Some of the production and performers may be difficult to see. ※Sales will end once the planned number of tickets is reached. ※Limit: up to two tickets per person. ※Even if you apply for two tickets, they may not be consecutive seats. ※Age limit: no admission for children under six. Please purchase only after acknowledging the above.

Number 6 on the daily chart.

I'll buy the pocket watch for now.

It's my first live, so I'm a little nervous. The only absolute necessity is the ticket, right? Then I just look at the map on the Tokyo International Forum official site and arrive a little early? Is there anything I should watch out for?

>65 Almost there.

>67 There are quite a few couples and normie groups with an off-meeting vibe, so please refrain from unconsciously shouting things like “Go explode!” before you know it.

I wonder if they'll release equipment seats like this in Osaka too.

I'm planning to skip the merch line tomorrow, but I can still get in if I arrive after the doors open, right? It's my first live, so I don't really know.

Tomorrow, meet-up at the Yoshinoya by Yurakucho Station. Please cooperate.

>71 Depends on the item. The light, basic set, kaleidoscope, and the full magnet set? Those will probably be sold out after the doors open. If you don't line up when merch sales start, it'll be hard to buy them—maybe even then you won't get one. The pamphlet and merch T-shirt should be okay, I guess. Either way, with only one Tokyo show, I think skipping the line is basically impossible.

71 means, “I'm not going to the merch sale, but can I enter after the doors open?” They're saying it's their first live itself, right? You can enter after the doors open, so it's fine. The seats are assigned, so there's no need to hurry. If you meet up before the doors open, all that'll happen is you'll get made to stand in line for no reason.

Should I get there before noon for tomorrow's merch sale?

>72 Who's meeting up? The group?

Do you think the glass set will sell out right away?

>72 Got it. Let's all work together and get the place hyped up.

Apparently Hiroki-kun can't come tomorrow. Ah, I really wanted to see himｗ

>57 What did you figure out? Details, please—kwsk.

>77 Personally, that's the one thing I need leastｗ

There are way too many merch items.

Is the light-up item necessary?

Those moron-detector people are making another weird plan. Should I expose their IDs, you pieces of trash?

>84 Go ahead.

>84 What are they trying to do this time?

If you're at the live venue, can you buy merch even without a ticket? I've never been to a live at all, GARNET CROW or otherwise, so I don't know.

>84 I don't want to watch something that interferes with the event, leaves the members troubled but unable to ignore it, and forces them to respond reluctantly. I want the members to learn how to ignore things.

There are 166 songs in total, right?

>89 How many would there be if you included remixes and rearrangements?

If the song from the special video gets released, that makes 167.

Even if it's the last one, they're going way overboard with the merch... The kaleidoscope and wallet are expensive... The magnets are seriously pricey...

Hiroki, go ○ie! Stop causing trouble by filling the message board, and don't act so cocky at the off-meetings!

I sincerely hope your job hunt fails.

Hey, hey, that's enough slander.

I met him at a Kansai off-meeting too, and he's a really nice guy.

>91 Thanks.

I think the least memorable remix is Misumi's “rain on me mix.” In the end it was only released as a download and never made into an actual audio release...

If they sing “夢みたあとで” today, I'm thinking we should all join in with call-and-response. If we insert “アソーレ!”, “ヨッ!”, and “モイッチョ!” during the song, everyone will become one and the GARNET members will be happy too. Please cooperate, everyone.

Hurry up.

It still doesn't feel real that this is the final live. I've never been to a live other than Gane's, so I probably won't be going to another one for a while after this.

I want Nana-san's room fragrance.

If all I want is the pamphlet, is it okay to arrive around the time the doors open? They'll have at least one per seat's worth prepared, right?

You're still talking about the call-and-response? Make it something like “raise your watch” instead.

>103 That's worked fine for me at every Tokyo show. Well, I have work this morning, so I'm heading out soon. See you all at the International Forum ノシ

I commute through the International Forum every day. And they're holding the final live at a venue like that...

>104 Aren't you normally all quiet and restrained? At least at the very end, I want to become one with GARNET CROW during “夢みたあとで.”

>107 They play “夢みたあとで” normally too, don't they? They don't do call-and-response.

>99 IKUZO, otsu.

>107 Think about the musical style.

If it were an upbeat song like “Rhythm” or “Spiral,” maybe. But I think the members would hate call-and-response during “夢みたあとで.” It's their most important song, and adding chants would throw off the performance's rhythm. There isn't even a place to do call-and-response in “夢みたあとで.”

Regarding the call-and-response during “夢みたあとで,” we've decided to standardize on “Yooo!” Only between the B section and the chorus will we draw it out as “Yooooo!” I'm sure even the people objecting now will agree once they actually hear the call-and-response. The only way this plan can fail is if they don't sing “夢みたあとで.” This is a live, not a concert. Let's add our chants and send GARNET our support.

If they sing “夢みたあとで” today, I think we should all do the call-and-response. If we insert “アソーレ!”, “ヨッ!”, and “モイッチョ!” during the song, everyone will become one and the GARNET members will be happy too. Please cooperate, everyone. The GARNET members will not be happy. They will absolutely be annoyed. And in a sacred place like the final live, call-and-response chants... They're singing it with 13 years of feelings behind it. Please stop.

>112 If you want to do call-and-response, practice it yourself while watching a live DVD at home. It'll almost certainly feel wrong.

Even people who don't do call-and-response should at least clap. The worst are the statues. S-rank: call-and-response A-rank: clapping B-rank: waving the Final Light Poop-rank: statues

>114 It didn't feel wrong at all. If anything, it made me wonder why we hadn't done it before.

I hate the idea of fighting with the call-and-response guys right up to the very end, but on the other hand, it's true that I'm starting to get brainwashed into thinking call-and-response might be okay. Aaahhhhh, what am I supposed to do?

1. If the call-and-response starts, just go with the flow. 2. Don't join in, then beat them up after it ends. Aaahhhhh, what am I supposed to do?

You can wave the light during songs like “Lonely Night,” but don't wave it during anything else. It's more annoying than call-and-response.

The fans here are all old enough to know better, yet they're doing something this childish.

You guys, clean your ears before you come.

If a member or staff member is watching this and knows there are people planning call-and-response, maybe Yurippe will say something about it before they perform “夢みたあとで.” Aaahhhhh, what am I supposed to do?

Osaka tickets ｷﾀｺﾚ

>117–118 >122 　Go ahead and do the call-and-response. 　If the members directly ask us beforehand not to, I'll stop. 　Otherwise, I'll do it. >119 　Look at the official site! You should wave it according to your own judgment, not someone else's.

I've been wondering: is it really okay to turn it on and put it away again just for one song? It's not like you should wave it just for the sake of waving it, but why be so fixated on “Lonely Night”? They probably want people to use it like a glow stick.

At Ninna-ji, people waved them during “夢みたあとで” and “Holy Ground,” right?

If they play “Holy Ground,” I think I'll wave it.

The official site specifically said twice, “Wave it during other songs too,” so maybe we should listen to themｗ

If they play “Over Drive,” I think I'll wave it. During the Over Drive part of “Joushou Koi wa Yuraide.”

I'm starting to feel like the last song in Tokyo will be “Namida no Yesterday.”

“live” would be a good final song too. It'd be easy to loop endlessly, like “Spiral.”

That's unusual. “Hana Maru” is suddenly shooting up the daily chart. May 21: number 10 May 22: number 6 What rank will today's update show? If it holds on today, maybe a number-10 debut on the weekly chart isn't a dream?

They won't just dump everything on someone else again this time, right? If they do, looping it would be fun too.

I wonder if they'll do “Spiral” again at Grand Cube.

> 1. If the call-and-response starts, just go with the flow. > 2. Don't join in, then beat them up after it ends. 2. Come to think of it, there's no way I could even think about what happens afterward. 1. So I guess I have no choice but to go along with it, huh? Hey, >124. Aaahhhhh, what am I supposed to do? Whatever, it's fine. I'll do anything.

You can't do just anythingｗ

I have a request for everyone here. We've treasured these songs very, very much. There are apparently plans online for a fan-led call-and-response action, but if possible, we'd like you to stop. Something like that, maybe?

I thought the call-and-response thing was just a joke. Wasn't it?

>138 Apparently there's one person who's serious about it.

Hirokiｗ

GARNET for lifeｗ

>137 I wonder how it would go over if the members themselves said, “We'd like you to stop.” It might be gentler to have the staff put up a note at the venue or something.

Regarding the call-and-response, around 70 people on Twitter support it just for the Tokyo show. But I'm only going to wave the Lonely Light, not do the chants. If it were the “lihghtin' groove” version, I might be okay with it, though.

It's a joke, right? A real fan wouldn't actually do it. But if they do it... Everyone's emotions are running high, so don't blame me if something really happens.

This is way too funnyｗｗ

My ticket arrived, but what the hell is a Bk row? Eeeee〜

Are the Osaka tickets starting to arrive?

I got through on the same-day ticket phone line today and got one. It was my last hope.

Congrats. You've got guts.

Is it not okay to wave a light from an earlier tour instead of the Final Light? I don't have enough money to buy that too...

Are there really that many people waving those so-called lights? It sounds rough if everyone around you is doing it.

>150 It's fine. Wave the old one proudly!

>152 Good, thanks.

>151 I stubbornly just wave my hands. There were people like that in the DVD too. But since it's the last one, I'm wondering whether to buy one. The problem is what to do with that painfully embarrassing object afterward. I can't bring myself to throw it away...

>147 It's the final-day ticket, but mine arrived today.

>154 Thanks. It's my first live, so I don't know the etiquette. But whatever happens, I'll try to enjoy it.

The best thing is to enjoy it your own way without worrying about everyone around you.

There are so many rules about “do this, do that” and “don't do this, don't do that.” Of course people who aren't used to going to lives get confused.

Kaleido is sold out.

Even if you don't worry about the people around you, don't cause them trouble. Don't add your own call-and-response. And don't sing along at the top of your lungs. It carries farther than you'd expect.

Unless the musicians themselves are egging the audience on, you should keep it to lip-syncing. I'm not paying to listen to you sing. Go to karaoke.

Whereabouts are the equipment seats?

>160 >161 I'm bothered by that kind of thing too. It bothers me about as much as loud drums. But if Yurippe gets overwhelmed and chokes up, I want everyone to sing for her.

>163 > But if Yurippe gets overwhelmed and chokes up, I want everyone to sing for her. I think it'd be nice if we could all sing together.

Around 70 people wouldn't be audible to the people on stage at all. It'd only bother the people around you. You'd understand if you thought about how loud the live itself is.

I'd hate it if clueless fans' voices became noise and made it impossible to release the live DVD. I don't know whether something like that could really happen, though.

Can you still buy the stage towel at the merch booth after the doors open?

I wonder if many people have already gathered. If I leave home now, I'll arrive around 6:30... No chance of buying merch before the show, huh?

Breaking news!! Camera crews confirmed for June 9!! The DVD will be released too.

So that means the Tokyo crowd wins, since only people who actually went can see it.

Please release a Blu-rayー

There's one person in front of the entrance shouting, “Please sell me your ticket.” I think his name is Beckham.

There's a group in front of the Mitsuo Aida Museum shouting “Yooo!” So it wasn't a joke after all.

This is bad, I have diarrhea. If I jump, something's going to come out(´・ω・`)/~~

What time do the doors open today?

>175 6:00 p.m. They're already starting to form a line.

>176 Thanks. I'll relax at the hotel a little longer.

I'm curious about Mai Kuraki's FC event too.

Work's over, so I'm heading to the International Forum now. Take care of me today. By the way, has any merch sold out? What's the situation?

>179 The pubic-hair mirror is sold out.

The member-designed T-shirt and Nana-san-designed wallet are sold out too.

Are there any cute girls?

>180 >181 Thanks. The pubic-hair mirror and wallet are sold out... Too bad about the member-designed T-shirt.

>162 It was a single-digit row on the first floor. I couldn't believe my eyes when I exchanged the voucher.

They should prepare extra seats for the Osaka show soon. It'd be way too sad to look at the merch and then go home.

Does that mean they removed the camera lane in front of the stage?

>182 Of course there areｗ

I wonder if they'll release the Terminus DVD. Will it be included in the Complete Box?

I'm going to the first day of the final live! o(^▽^)o

Has it started?

Not yet.

>182 There are two on the stage.

I'm happy that I can watch GARNET on WOWOW.

So the Complete Box really is happening. Couldn't they bundle the singles complete collection, Request Best, and everything else together and release it all at once? They're clearly planning to milk us by splitting it up and releasing it bit by bit. I'll still end up buying it, though (苦笑)

They could make money much faster by releasing a swimsuit photobook for Yuri-chan.

I wish GARNET would appear on Music Station once before breaking up.

I tell myself I can't complain if the money goes to the members, but honestly I don't need it.

The timing of the Complete Box announcement is terrible. They could've announced it after the Request Best came out. Is this company stupidｗ?

Their strategy is B-grade tooｗ

I'm at work, but... are they singing? Right now?... Yuriiiiiiーippeeeee

I'm hoping the box has unreleased footage.

The Complete Box probably won't include best albums like the Request Best.

Since FUNKY MONKEY BABYS got one, maybe GARNET CROW will too.

Is it not over yet?

Just look at Aiuchi's box and you'll know. It's pointless for the otaku to get their hopes up.

Are they still going? It's really long.

Looks like it ended. Give us your impressions.

>204 It just ended. The last song was 夢みたあとで.

It's over. 07:11 start 09:20 encore 09:52 double encore 10:04 end The high school girl next to me was crying(>_<)

What's the setlist? Did the members cry?

Thank you, GARNET.

>210 rhythm ミィスティ フライング 夏の幻 ラストラブソング ひわまりの色 ミスアイ オバドラ クローサ 空に花火 夢のひとつ 千以上の餅 ナミイエ ロンリーナイト ｗｉｓｈ Ｕ コールマイネーム 世界はまわる イエロームーン ふたり スマネー エデン Butter... that's all I'm saying. ハレルヤ 夢みたあとで Sorry for the scribbled list. There was no mention of the breakup at all.

Okamocchi sang “千以上.”

Thanks. Yurippe didn't cry?

Well, Osaka is still ahead, so there wasn't much of a somber atmosphere—it was business as usual. There was an unreleased song during the encore, though.

>212 Huh? What is this disappointing setlist?

There was absolutely no sign of anyone crying.

Furui-san said it felt incredibly unified.

Honestly, Tokyo was a huge disappointment. All I can do is look forward to the final Osaka show. I can't go, though...

What a disappointing setlist.

What does “Tokyo was a huge disappointment” mean? Will the Osaka setlist be different?

It was basically an open dress rehearsal.

>221 There was absolutely no talk about the breakup. None of the members cried, and there was no somber mood. Disappointing setlist. It felt like, “What kind of final live is this?” I know it wasn't the true grand finale, but it almost felt like they shouldn't have bothered. I don't know what Osaka will be like, but the Tokyo setlist won't do.

It wasn't the kind of setlist that would make people who've followed them for around ten years happy. I wanted more early songs and coupling tracks.

I don't think it was as bad as people are saying. I watched from the second floor, and the audience was completely fired up today. The cheers between songs were so loud that the count-in couldn't be heard, and Mochi was wryly smiling.

I want to hear “Wasurezaki.” The version not sung by Mochi.

The content made me wonder whether they're really breaking up. There wasn't even the slightest hint of a breakup in anything they said. It felt just like one of their usual tours.

It felt more like a live where they wanted to have a blast and enjoy themselves than get sentimental.

If there was voting for the Request album, they should've let us vote on the live setlist too.

I'm jealous of the people complaining about the setlist being a disappointment. I wanted to go but couldn't.

At first it felt like the “stay” tour. Yurippe's “unisex” comment and Nana-san's legs were memorable... Just kidding. The person wearing Mochi's old T-shirt got lucky, though.

What is with these annoying fans whose romantic feelings are running wild? The members themselves are perfectly calm. They've sold everything they wanted to sell, so they probably just want us to forget about them as soon as possible.

Personally, I'm satisfied. I was surprised to see people here unhappy with the setlist.

No breakup speech at allｗ At the end, the smoke screen opened and closed three or four times, teasing usｗ They do love making merch. Maybe they'll call off the breakup after all. Please release a new single as Butterfly Knot.

>233 This is where people come to post their complaints, so it can't be helpedｗ

The Lonely Light is essential too, but by the end waving towels had become mandatory. They can't break up nowｗ

The pointless talking went on way too long. It makes you think, “If you're that close, don't break up.”

I'll accept Kurose and the setlist, but I wanted a message to the fans from each member.

Arranged meeting → fake marriage → fake divorce.

It left me thinking, “Are they really breaking up?” Also, their legs were so beautiful I couldn't stop staring.

>234 They didn't even mention the word “breakup.”

What were they wearing?

Were there no cameras at the show today?

I couldn't see well from the second floor, but both women seemed to be wearing long skirts.

>242 They started out in black outfits. AZUKI-san's was the same as on the official homepage. >243 There were cameras taking flash photos.

Still, not even having a speech at the final live is kind of...

Maybe they'll talk about the breakup on the final day. I wonder what they talked about in the MC today.

Daisuke Ikeda is the bestｗ

Come to think of it, WOWOW is airing the final live on 7/20. I'm buying the Blu-ray.

Ah.

“Butterfly Rod” was kind of an unremarkable song.

The lack of a speech did feel a little weird, but I thought the setlist itself was pretty good. “rhythm” as the opener threw me, but overall I liked the clean, unsentimental atmosphere—it didn't make you feel like you were saying goodbye. Though I did bawl my eyes out during “Natsu no Maboroshi.”

>248 I thought the conductor looked really cool.

You can understand why the live turned out this way by reading the pamphlet. It talks about the breakup too, so you should definitely read it before the live.

I was glad they played “Last Love,” “Yellow Moon,” and “Call My Name.” The moon appearing on the screen behind them was shocking.

I got overwhelmed and cried during “夢みたあとで”(；＿；) It's the first time that's happened to me, and I surprised myself.

I wanted Yurippe to sing “Senijou.” Also, during the costume segment with Furui-san, Nana-san's beautiful legs showing above the slit, and Yurippe's lower half when the lights hit her (especially during “U”) were a blessing. Yurippe's opening black outfit also showed everything up top when she bowed.

When I walked outside, it really was “Yellow Moon” out there.

It was my first live, but honestly, I was disappointed. For a breakup tour, they didn't play “Mizu no Nai Hareta〜” or “Seichi,” but they did play “Futari” and “Hallelujah.” Putting “夢みたあとで” at the end also sounded half-assed, like “Well, singing this one at the end should do the trick, right?” The merch promotion was a mood-killer too. I really thought “Mizu no Nai〜” was Gane's symbolic song, so it made me sad. It really hit me that the Gane I love and the recent Gane are different.

From the lowbrow perspective, Yurippe's sex comment and Nanaー's gorgeous legs had me going “Uho uho.” Seriously, though, I was honestly happy and moved to hear Gane live for the first time. I can understand the complaints people are making here too.

As someone who got into them through a certain anime, I was satisfied because they played “Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de.”

I wanted to hear “Mizu no Nai〜” and “Futari no Rocket.” And some coupling tracks.

I want to see impressions from more different people. Most of the impressions on Twitter are way too simple.

There is no setlist that can satisfy everyone. I like every song, so I'm the winnerｗ Every ball dropped right into my rangeｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Hatsuponｗ

I feel like they could at least have said something like, “Thank you for 13 years.”

Are they not releasing a Terminus live DVD?

At the end, a group in the front row held up a banner, but only Okamocchi reacted. Yurippe clearly saw it and ignored them.

I'm from Osaka but live in Tokyo. I went today, but it really didn't feel like a breakup〜 Should I buy a ticket on an auction and go to the final Osaka show anyway...? Somehow it feels like the four of them might continue working separately after all...

I went to a live for the first time in three years. They've gotten better at talking than they used to be. I was satisfied to hear lots of Nana-sama's voice.

>254 Kind of late to be saying that now... >264 Sameｗ In a way, I was happy that they completely skipped the songs around the “Rai Rai” era. >266 I thought that too.

To everyone who paid a high price on an auction to watch the dress rehearsal: nice work.

The pamphlet said they wanted to make it a fun live, so in that sense I think they succeeded. I don't know what Osaka will be like, though.

When the curtain came down on the final stage, I thought they were going to say goodbye just like that, but then it came back up. They repeated it around five to seven times. Maybe in Osaka, instead of doing “Spiral,” they'll just keep increasing the number of curtain calls.

What was that scream during “Miss Eye”? It's not even that rare a song.

It was some mysterious high-pitched cheeringｗ

I feel like there was also a little “Oh!” commotion during “Flying.” Hadn't they played it in a while?

I'm back at the hotel〜 It really was just like a normal liveｗ I was satisfied apart from the lack of “Seichi” and “Mizu no Nai〜.” Seriously, are they breaking up? Is this really the end?

About the merch jokes: even when Yurippe tossed the cue to them, the members deliberately wouldn't say it. Mochi said something like, “On Amazon,”ｗ When it was Furui-san's turn, Yurippe went, “B, bu...” trying to get him to say itｗ Nana-san did say, “At the merch booth,” though.

>254 Huh⁉ Wait, the pamphlet said something that important⁉ Damn, I should've bought it. If it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me the gist of what it said about the breakup...? It'd really help. I can't go to Osaka... I wonder if they'll sell the leftovers through Musing.

>277 Maybe it was because the setlist and musical style were completely determined not to make anyone sentimental? >279 Nana-san saying “Merchandise↑” was adorable. Overall, Yurippe and Osaaan seemed really high-energy.

Furui-san was high-energy from the start, waving and moving around on his own.

I thought Osaaan's energy was kind of low, though... huh? Was it really?

So the conductor Osaaan is with Being too... I just looked him up, and apparently he currently arranges music for Precure.

>283 Wasn't he really lively during the talking? Like “Ooooh, hey!”

Yurippe's weird hand movements during the “loose curve” part of “Smiley Nation” were the best. Same with “Lonely Night”—there were lots of strange choreographed movesｗ

When it ended, people all around me started saying “Thank you!” Hearing that was what finally made me able to accept the breakup. Thank you so much for giving us so much great music. There will never be another band like this.

About the setlist in >212: What does “Butter... that's all I'm saying” mean?

>286 The power of Yurippe's fartsｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

An unreleased song.

>289 You can probably figure it out by looking here: http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/pritzellogic/40637749.html

>280 There are probably still people who'll be buying it, so I can't say anything yet. The official site also says it's required reading before the live. They probably prepared the largest number of pamphlets, so I think they'll keep selling them.

>291 >292 Thanks for replying so quickly. Everyone here is really nice. You even posted the setlist right away. I'm really happy.

I'm glad I bought the pamphlet. It changed how I see the breakup. It may be a lie coming from a company and agency like this, but I want to believe it.

When they sang “Hallelujah” at the encore, I thought maybe there'd be a reunion, and I was shocked that they really did it. But I can't tell whether “We'll meet again with smiles♪” means “we'll meet again someday,” or meeting at the second encore, or meeting in Osaka.

Reading the pamphlet, I can't shake the feeling they'll come back under a different band name.

Osaaan: “It came straight in from the chorus.” Nana: “For ‘call my name,’ isn't the chorus at the beginning?” I died laughing at thisｗ

The pamphlet is more uninhibited than usual too, so I feel like it's worth buying. I'm jealous if Osaka gets “Spiral.” I wanted to end stupidly bright and happy like that.

I'm thinking about buying a live DVD. If you have any recommendations, please tell me.

>300 Wouldn't a Complete Best work?

If we assume that kaleidoscope sells out in Osaka too, that's 7.5 million yen from the kaleidoscopes alone...

>302 I feel like they would've sold out even if they'd made three times as many. I kind of wanted one.

>303 They were already sold out around 1:30 p.m., after all. Merch really messes with your sense of money.

>293 Sorry for asking so much. You're right, it says it's required. Since they sell the old pamphlets too, I'm sure they'll release it...!

At old lives, lots of people just stood there, but maybe because all the longtime fans came out, the crowd was really into it. The members said so too, but there was a real sense of unity.

>301 Is the Complete Best the singles one they released recently? I want to watch footage, so I'd prefer a DVD.

It was rough having almost all the merch sold out. Osaka might require lining up from the morning.

>303 It was already sold out by 12:30. I joined the line around 11:20 and still couldn't buy one.

Whose blog is the one in >292?

>307 No, apparently there's an all-in-one box coming out this December. If you're buying something now... what should it be?

I've been going since the “Misty” release event, but this was the first time I got to hear them sing the “Smiley Nation” part, so I was happy. Also, there were three T-shirt designs this time, so I didn't know which one they'd wear, but thankfully my matching-clothes streak with Yurippe didn't end.

>309 The person called Fuwawa. A hardcore Yurippe fan. If you search “GARNET CROW,” they show up in the related results.

>295 I think the comments in the pamphlet were sincere〜 Thinking back to the live where they announced the breakup, Nana-san and Furui-san really did seem that way.

>313 I didn't know that. Thanks.

>307 I've decided. Ninna-ji.

>316 Ohhh, so Ninna-ji after all! I was thinking Ninna-ji might be the best one if I bought one, since I'd heard good things, but I wanted to hear a fan's opinion. Okay, I'll go with that. Thanks. I'd like to hear about the others too if anyone has recommendations. I want to collect them little by little.

>309 They sold out that early? I guess it's understandable if there were only around 40. Maybe I'll line up three hours early in Osaka.

>318 I thought I heard there were 100 per venue.

Early on, there was someone standing dead center in the aisle, slightly right of center toward the front, and he was really annoying. He still had his backpack on and was fiddling with his phone, and his behavior was suspicious, so I seriously worried he might be planning to rush the stage. He eventually disappeared, though.

Compared with the first day of the previous Tokyo show, the fans were pretty normal this time, which was reassuring. And our ability to ignore things has really improved.

Would anyone be interested if I drew the outfits as illustrations from what I remember? I only watched from the second floor with binoculars, so it'll all be pretty vague.

There are two things I'm curious about. What was Yurippe's “sex” comment? And could someone tell me about Yurippe's outfits?

>268 There really was a banner? How did they make it in secret after everyone had been warned about itｗ

>322 Yes. Please do.

>322 Please, do.

>323 >325 Okay. I think I can post it by tomorrow night. There were outfit changes, so drawing everyone will be difficult... I'll start with just Yurippe. Just so you know, I'm not that good at drawing.

>319 The official site says the production run was 100.

The “sex” comment was “unisex.” It means clothing that can be worn by either gender.

>323 Unisex.

Yurippe is a unisex person, so Nana is within her target range too.

>257 Was Yurippe wearing another see-through skirt? You mean her cleavage was completely visible when she bowed?

I didn't see the face of the person being teased for wearing a 2002 T-shirt, but she looked like a beauty. Is she famous?

I'm going to forget the outfits when I go to sleep, so could people who went describe them in detail? I'll look later, remember, and add them in. The other members' outfits too, while you're at it.

>320 There were a ton of staff in front of the stage this time. They were on alert for the worst-case scenario and sat there holding the connected rope throughout the show.

Just Yurippe is fine, right? It was black and dressy, and I think it had a draped shape. After the outfit change, she wore a colorful maxi-length skirt with stripes in all kinds of colors. There was a white hair accessory on her head that looked kind of lacy. I forgot what she wore on top... After the encore, she wore the purple merch T-shirt.

People really do record like this, huh〜 There was someone recording the audio on an iPhone too.

>336 What about the first outfit? The skirt— roughly how many centimeters above the knee was it?

>323 All she said was that people who only heard her singing voice around the time of their debut often mistook her for a boy, and that she had a somewhat un-feminine, unisex voice. It just made me jump because she said “sex” so clearlyｗ

We're never going to see all four of them together again... No, if things go badly, maybe we'll never see any of them... I'm getting sad, so I'll go to sleep and savor the afterglow...

>340 It was long, and I don't think you could see her legs. It seemed like some kind of stiff material.

>343 Could you see her cleavage when she bowed?

>298 > Osaaan: “It came straight in from the chorus.” Wasn't it, “It came in smoothly from the beginning, not from the chorus”?

There was someone holding three lights in each hand. Nobody even called him out on it.

>337 Nice work〜

>269 Nobody said they were retiring.

>344 I was near the front, but I couldn't see anything like that at all. The first skirt was see-through, but she wore black underneath, so you couldn't see bare legs. On top was a black dress with a huge ribbon on the right breast, and she wore a black hat on her head. The second time, the top was white and lace-like, and the bottom was a colorful, slightly sheer long skirt. Her fake nails were a little shorter than usual and all pink. The first time she probably wasn't wearing accessories other than earrings. The second time she had various accessories on. Yurippe's high energy while singing—was that the first time since last year's Tokyo show? I was happy to see the monkey dance again. The choreography for “Lonely Night” had changed, but this version fit the lyrics better and was nice.

The only unreleased live footage that could go in the box is probably the Terminus tour, the special live after the first best album, and maybe the Bread Factory live.

>350 Symphonic too. I wish they'd release some FC events as FC-limited releases〜 Apparently B'z will be on the Music Station special. They should let GARNET appear the week before as a package dealｗ

They filmed the recent release event too, at least, so I hope they include that if possible.

They're doing it on WOWOW. This might be the first time I've seen Gane in high definition, right?

Yurippe's armpits were completely visible during “Smiley Nation” and “Hallelujah.”

I'm looking forward to WOWOW.

For the towel, light, tour T-shirt, and pamphlet, will lining up at 11:30 on the final day be early enough?

Is the sound quality on THE ONE's best album noticeably different when you listen to it?

By the way, did the people who got FC tickets through auctions manage to get in without problems?

>358 Yeah. It's not an FC event, so there's no way they could check.

Since they didn't play many album songs or coupling tracks this time, I didn't get that rush of excitement when I heard the intros. Especially everything after “stay” was basically ignored.

It felt like a setlist for the light-stick fans. Personally, I wanted “Nogareru no Machi,” “Flower,” “Happy swallow,” “Matsuri no Jikan,” “Kyou to Ashita to,” “Kagami ni Mita Yume,” “whiteout,” “Blue Regret,” “Endless Desire,” and so on. But I was satisfied because it was my first time hearing “Yellow Moon” live.

Osaka is probably going to be almost entirely filled with FC members, so they could change the setlist, but they probably won't. Who knows. Personally, I was happy with the songs from the fifth album onward. But the best part might have been the opening act.

>359 Thanks.

The final day looks like it'll have a triple encore.

>362 From that opening, I thought the first song might be “Nora” or “Sora-iro no Neko.”

Maybe the fans who came to the live as a final memory after hearing about the breakup were satisfied, while the hardcore fans who went to lives all the time felt it was lacking.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv133475979 Don't forget there's a NicoNico Live today at 5 p.m.!

None of the members wore the Final Badge, right? I feel like the official merch introduction said something like, “Look forward to seeing who wears it...”

My seats at Grand Cube are toward the back of the A section. Will it be hard to see if you're short?

I regret not reading the live pamphlet beforehand.

>366 Yeah, probably〜 But what everyone seems to want is for them to resume activities under a different agency.

Kurose-san wore a beret this time instead of a cowboy hat.

After hyping it as the finale this much, continuing under a different agency would be incredibly dishonest.

So 167 songs total, and that's the end of it?

>368 Nobody wore it. Maybe they'll all wear it on the final day and end things that way. Come to think of it, apart from the Yurippe corner, they didn't throw any talk to Ikeda-se... either. He was making funny movements like last time, though, and I feel like he waved more lights than the fans did.

Come to think of it, the Final Light was already sold out at the merch booth after the doors opened. They were selling the orange light from the previous tour instead. If you've never bought a light and plan to buy one on the day, you might want to go early. Also, the location of the box for message cards was a little hard to find.

The venue yesterday holds 5,000 people?

I just noticed the tote bag cost 6,800 yenｗ I hadn't looked at the price, so I didn't realize.

There's this trend that if you don't have a light, you can just wave a towel for now.

Young Saeki Takaoka looks exactly like Nanaｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

The face on Okamon's pencil case is warped and ugly. Is it defective?

I should get this out while the memory is still fresh. If I ramble on later, I won't be able to organize it. ... Day after day... facing west and staying glued there. Was it the rate of electric guitars? It was insane. I have an image of black soft cases. People using this passage definitely didn't go toward Amemura. If they were waiting for the light, they would've gone east from the start... Now, looking at the homepage, are there Being-affiliated music schools? Vocational schools? There weren't other companies in this area either (voice acting, dance... those kinds of schools have only started appearing here and there in Osaka too).

Judging from the pamphlet, Yuri is the only one who had given everything she had.

>349 That slightly sheer long skirt the second time— how many centimeters above her knees do you think her thighs were visible?

When I heard “夢みたあとで” at the end, I couldn't help thinking of the dream as their 13 years of activity.

People carrying guitars on the Amemura side look so obviously like guitarists that you can tell the difference easily. The big question is whether there were music schools or live houses on the west side back then (1993–1998). My fragmentary memories of merely passing through are coming back, but they definitely weren't the vibe of electric guitars from some amateur Yamaha music school (I took folk guitar there for a year myself a few years ago). I was about 24–29 then, and if the people carrying guitars were around 32–44, I definitely recognized them as older than me...

>383 If they'd broken out of their usual lyrics/music/arrangement patterns, maybe they could've continued a little longer. Maybe if you don't have songs, there's nothing you can do.

>361 Yeah. “Yellow Moon” was the only surprise, and I wished I'd been there to hear it. From the songs you listed, I would've been happy with “Kyou to Ashita,” “Kagami ni Mita Yume,” or “Blue Regret.” But no matter what we say, we can't turn back time now.

I can't tell whether the box is FC-limited or if they just mean mail-order only.

The FC and Musing, probably?

Yurippe missed the notes at crucial moments several times, which was disappointing. Does that mean she's reached her limit, or just lost motivation? I don't remember it being like that in March. Was Tokyo really just a dress rehearsal after all?

Yurippe has definitely gotten repetitive lately. There were a lot of songs that sounded alike.

Is it true Kurose-san wasn't there? Who was on drums?

>393 No, Kurose-san was there.

Come to think of it, the support lineup recently sometimes didn't have a second guitarist or an acoustic guitarist. Was that cost-cutting?

Long story short, the people I kept seeing may have been part of the team that set up Being Osaka (the Kansai-based operations unit)... though “setup team” sounds a little funny. Semi-pros, studio musicians... even if famous people were coming through, I had no interest in Being then or now. Even if a coworker said, “That famous Osaka comedian just walked by,” I wouldn't notice unless they were practically a sibling—I just assume someone looks vaguely similar. Furui-san, though, already looked unmistakably like himself back then. Before the headquarters building was built, maybe in 1993, were there rented studio buildings or old properties converted into studio buildings? I don't even know if those existed.

Before entering the venue, I saw someone cosplaying Yurippe's Terminus outfit. The quality was pretty good.

>397 I saw her too. The quality was high.

Is that song going to be included in the Complete collection?

I looked at Yurippe's wiki. Who did this?

My brother once read an interview between Tetsuro Oda and Yoichi Shibuya in Rockin'On. Maybe it was about Being expanding into Osaka? I don't know whether it was about Being's founding itself, but it was an article and he said the overall tone was favorable... But when it comes to Shibuya quotes, back then, just like the Psychic Youth Brigade, he used to say B'z were “thieves” (of Zeppelin), and I was fearless about Western music too, just like the obsessive people on 2ch now. Around the time of their debut, I used to say Mr. Children were Costello rip-offs and Hamada Shogo was the Kinks... Even now, I wonder what Mr. Children would sound like if they did “Accident Happen.” ...They're religious, after all. I think they're successors now, otherwise the difference in rank is obvious. I've started realizing Yurippe is completely out of reach too. And then there was the Yakult lady who made me give up on Yurippe—the widow with the Sengoku-princess vibe (a ray of light? a hint?).

Her favorite food is kimchi.

I'm listening to Momoiro Clover right now, but AZUKI-san's lyrics really are great(´･ω･｀) http://m.youtube.com/watch?hl=ja&gl=JP&client=mv-google&v=1IZhphLQlSo

Four days ago I happened to buy Yakult from a woman on the street, and she was beautiful—completely out of my league. It was the first time I'd met someone at that level... But maybe she's having trouble with men? Busy? Frustrated? Lonely? Did I remind her of her late husband? She seemed to look at me very favorably (or am I imagining it?), like I was in a popular phase. I couldn't make a move because of the Gane live, but given the timing, was it the god of the religion I'm in arranging things, like with Minako, so I wouldn't spend six or seven years agonizing? The problem is whether her child is the rowdy type. What if the family grave has somehow split... It'd be nice if her former husband were at guardian-spirit level, but what if he's jealous...? Anyway, after the final live on 6/9, it looks like I can get by on 1 mg of cigarettes, which is a relief. I'm feeling neutral right now. I wrote a little yesterday because it was a full moon, maybe... Could the attraction of women with the same absolute value but opposite vectors cancel each other out? Am I ready for my family to suddenly grow? To her, maybe my financial stability made me look like the missing puzzle piece. You'll call me narcissistic, but the thing possessing me about Yurippe has suddenly faded. She wore neat clothes, and my sleep was... Anyway, short hair makes her look tough... I'm tired, so I'll stop.

>395 But there were dan... I mean, Ikeda-sensei conducting and the strings too. Ikeda-sensei was dual-wielding the baton and a Lonely Light...

NicoNico is starting.

I can't find any final-day tickets on Twitter or auctions except FC tickets. How many general-sale tickets were there...? Was it almost all FC? There are even second-floor FC seats... I wonder if the final-day setlist will be aimed at the hardcore fans.

>408 A few people on Twitter were saying the same thing, so maybe that's the case. I'm glad I limited my Musing advance application to Tokyo.

GARNET CROW is already over for me. I can't go to the lives anyway. Thanks for all the great songs.

Is the unreleased song called “Butterfly Knot” or “Butterfly Rod”? I heard “Butterfly Knot.”

butterfly knot A flock of butterflies.

>408 For the final day, the ticket-agency advance sale was only the back two rows. The general-sale tickets sold out a little over ten seconds after I connected to the convenience-store terminal right on time. When I think about how it might have been a phantom sale, I figure everything except the back two rows was probably FC. I've never even ended up on the second floor at an FC event... After watching yesterday's live, I realized that 3/30 was the end of Gane lives for me.

My ticket arrived, but it's way in the back and way off to the sideｗｗ I won't be able to see Nana-san...

When Ikeda-sensei comes out, I can't look at anything except him, which is a problem. He was wearing it like a turban in the second half too.

I bought six magnets. Indies album 集メルヘブン Smiley Nation 涙のイエスタデー メモリーズ parallel universe Pretty satisfied. Lots of album ones. The one I really wanted was from the first album, though...

My June 9 ticket arrived. It's toward the front of the second floor, but I wonder which is better: that or the back of the first floor. >416 I tried five times and got nothing but singles. I wanted at least one album.

Center of row 5 on Saturday.

NicoNico Live is fun.

>417 The front of the second floor is closer, and looking down makes it easier to see!! Trade with me!!

Release the unreleased songs as a single, then have it hit #1 on Oricon for the first time after they've already broken up— it'd be just like an artist who only gets recognized after dying. That's so Gane.

>418 Sorry for the double post! Trade with me! The only time a miracle happened was with ParaUni...

Was the second floor packed at yesterday's live?

It was packed.

Seats where you're looking down are just impossible.

A fan's voice actressｗｗ What the hell is this guy?

Has Saki Fujita already shown up on NicoNico Live?

Saki Fujita apparently came to yesterday's live too, so what's the problem?

>427 She's scheduled to appear during the last 30 minutes or so.

I was surprised by how high the proportion of women was yesterday. The last time I went, I felt like there were more men, maybe around 6:4 or 7:3, but yesterday it felt like 5:5 or 6:4, with more women.

THE ONE jumped up to #3 on the Oricon daily chart, here we go!!

I finished drawing Yurippe's outfit! I'm looking for somewhere I can upload it now, so wait a bit.

How long was the Tokyo live? About two and a half hours?

This is roughly what Yurippe's outfit looked like in Tokyo on May 24. There might be a few parts where it's a little off, but just take it for the general vibe. There might not be many people since NicoNico Live is on. http://iup.2ch-library.com/i/i0923067-1369486868.jpg

Nice work. You draw really well.

>434 She's cute!! Yeah, that was pretty much the vibe(*^∀^)

>434 Nice! That's plenty good enough.

>433 I think it was a little after 10 when I left the venue. >434 Damn, that's good((ﾟДﾟ；))

>435 >436 Thanks!! Drawing people in 3D isn't my thing, so I can't make it look that much like her...

>434 Yurippe on the right is sexy as hell.

>434 GJ! I'm watching both NicoNico Live and this thread.

Waaah, thanks everyone. While I'm at it, I'll also upload the original drawing I made when I cut it out and gave it to the members. Feel free to use it as a phone wallpaper or whatever. http://iup.2ch-library.com/i/i0923085-1369488026.jpg

>442 Waaaaaaaaaa! This one is amazing toooooooo! Thanks right back at you!

What kind of outfit was Nana-san wearing?

>444 The impact of the second half was so strong I don't remember the first halfｗ It was a skirt with a huge slit (?), and when she walked, her legs...!

I saw the pocket watch at the live venue, but it was way smaller than I expected... I'm seriously torn about whether to buy it.

NicoNico Live Currently 61,000 viewers.

>434 Nice, it's cute and well drawn! I watched from the tenth row, and the skirt on the right might have had some white on it too. Though maybe that was the back view. But it's already fantastic! Thanks.

>434 I couldn't see from that far away, so thanks. Cute(o^^o)

Nana-san's outfit looked roughly like this, though I drew it super simply!! I only spent ten minutes on it just now, so I couldn't make it pretty, but the real thing was amazing! http://iup.2ch-library.com/i/i0923142-1369491851.jpg

>434 Thanks! I'm insanely jealous of your tenth-row seat. Of course, since it was yesterday, I'm already forgetting... She spun around and around during the second song, right? That was cute.

>445 I thought it was a wardrobe malfunction at firstｗ

NicoNico Live Now over 70,000 viewers.

>450 Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what it looked likeｗ

Yeah, Nana-san was wearing red, and her legs kept peeking in and out through the slit.

I've been watching the NicoNico Live since 5 p.m.

>456 Same here. My eyes are getting tired.

I just got back from Tokyo. Finally starting to watch the NicoNico Live.

>433 07:11 Started 09:20 Encore 09:52 Double encore 10:04 Ended

It felt a little unsatisfying, but looking at it this way, I guess it was pretty long.

NicoNico Live Ended with 76,800 viewers.

>461 The main event is only just getting started.

NicoNico Live is almost at 80,000 viewers. Gane otaku and AKB otaku sharing the same field in an unexpected crossover—the comments are way too chaotic...

>463 Even if you call them voice-actor otaku, a lot of Saki Fujita fans are Gane otaku on the side too, I guess.

>434 For someone sitting on the second floor with vision in the 0-point-something range, it's a huge help when you draw it out like this. Who needed binoculars anyway!

>465 Looks like people liked it, so I'm glad I drew it! Last time I had standing-room tickets, so I was fine without binoculars, but this time they were seriously miniature. I wish there'd been a screen showing close-ups of the members.

I hadn't used one in ages, but I really wanted a monitor for the final show at least. You can barely see anything from the back of Kokusai Forum anyway. I wonder if it costs a ton.

>467 It might have been a problem with space to set up the cameras.

The NicoNico Live comment screen is here! Everyone's on it!

NicoNico Live Ended at about 88,888 viewers.

In the end, Saki Fujita's the only hardcore otakuｗ Who knew it would go this farｗ

>471 As a bonus, she said she even attended the live where they announced the breakupｗ

>471 I give up(´･ω･`)

It's amazing that she's been there from the Premium broadcast all the way through.

Over 90,000 viewers.

That AKB girl kind of seems like a casual newbie.

Made it all the way through the NicoNico Live... It was fun, but I'm exhausted.

Good work on the NicoNico Live!

It's over. There were 91,838 viewers.

That voice actress was incredible.

Conquering Livescope from the Premium broadcast onwardｗｗｗｗ

She was hardcore among hardcore fans.

Good work on the NicoNico Live! The person in the middle was a true hardcore fanｗ

I'd already heard that she'd apparently been promoting them everywhere, on radio and blogs and such, since their debut.

Looking forward to a Saki Fujita cover!

Everyone, good work! Osaka crew, have fun!

Man, juggling NicoNico Live, 2ch, and Twitter was exhaustingｗ

>487 Exactlyｗｗ

The 90,000 attendees was padded, but it was fun anywayﾉｼ

When Furui-san and Okamoto-san appeared on MUSIC FORCUS, they said there was a deep reason for the long guitar solo in “doing” and that they'd be able to talk about it someday. Has the truth ever come out?

Wasn't it long because they cut out a huge chunk that had originally been in the middle?

>491 Oh, really? I didn't know that...

Anyone who bought the kaleidoscope, tell me what you can see in it.

Unreleased song “butterfly knot” = butterfly knot. Maybe the message of GARNET CROW is that even if the knot comes undone, we'll all gather again someday. “Knot” itself also means a bond.

Yurippe's slightly sheer long skirt in the second outfit— how far above her knees could you see through it, roughly? Also, the Yurippe on the right in 434 has huge boobs, but did she look that busty in the second outfit too?

>490 I vaguely remember an interview in Sound Designer or something saying that, in the studio, a big-name(?) guitarist played a phrase and they went, “I'll take that!” and borrowed it.

>490 I've been wondering about that too. Wasn't it in the newsletter...?

Come to think of it, there was no throwing picks or merch this time.

>498 Maybe they'll throw all kinds of stuff on the final day. Guitars, shoulder keyboards, picks, sunglasses...

I doubt anyone's going to take towels or T-shirts home and keep using them forever, so they might as well throw everythingｗ

Does anyone know what the odds were for the Premium Live?

14 days until GARNET CROW - FINAL LIVE.

>500 There are people for whom Tokyo was their final show too, so they should've done more for the fans. It was the final live, but I was left feeling unsettled. Terminus was better.

>503 Well, I gave up and accepted that that's just GARNET CROW. That's when I understood why they were breaking up.

>504 I see... You have a point. Tokyo felt like a public dress rehearsal, and I couldn't get emotionally invested at all. I could tell they were putting effort into every song, but with that setlist flow there was nowhere to cryｗ The encore was blatantly staged too. It felt like watching some cheap play. If they were going to do a live like that, they would've been better off ending with Terminus. All I felt was the temperature gap between the members and the fans. Sorry for the long postｗ

I should probably book my Shinkansen ticket and hotel for Osaka soon. I have a ticket for the final day, but not the day before, so what should I do? I wonder if I can get a ticket for around 10,000 yen on the day〜

Did anyone who bought THE ONE at the Tokyo live get any kind of bonus? If not, I might buy it at a CD shop.

>507 You got a poster.

>503 I felt the same way, but the pamphlet made me accept it. Or rather, I made myself accept it.

>508 I see. Since there are no new songs anyway, I'll buy it at the Osaka venue. Who knows how much it'll cost with the merch included...

>503 >505 Exactly the same here—are you me? And I convinced myself in exactly the same way as >504. Aside from the setlist, it felt lonely that they didn't mention the breakup at all. Even considering the difference in venue capacity, there are tons of fans who can't go to Osaka. Despite writing this, I wrote a message saying “thank you” and did my best to convey it during the live.

If Osaka's setlist is very different from Tokyo's, the fans who only went to Tokyo will be disappointed.

>490 Is that a different story from the one about changing the vocal melody into a guitar solo?

You people sure are devoted, pouring that much money into such a half-assed breakup liveｗ

>511 If you're dissatisfied, I'd like you to read the pamphlet first. Osaka will probably have exactly the same setlist too. It doesn't seem like any of the members wanted to end things sadly like they did in March. Talking about the breakup naturally makes things sad, so they're deliberately avoiding steering things in that direction. Personally, I was satisfied that Tokyo ended with smiles, just as Yurippe declared. I think Osaka should stay like this too. But after Osaka, we really might never see them in person again for the rest of our lives. I don't know what will happen...

>513 That was “Yume no Hitotsu.”

>511 Oh, a kindred spiritｗ I conveyed my “thank you” too! >515 Of course I read the pamphlet. I mean, are there people who haven't?ｗ That's not what I mean. What I'm trying to say is... Terminus was sad because there was an announcement, but if we're talking about the flow and what feels like a GARNET-style ending, this one feels more right.

I want both the members and the fans to end with smiles. Tokyo was insanely fun too. It isn't about the setlist; what mattered to me was being able to share that space with everyone. I want to end the 9th so happily that we wonder if they're really breaking up. If there were a triple encore, I'd want them to finish off like idiots with Mugen Spiral and see them off. I might cry after getting back to the hotel, but I don't want things to get gloomy at the venue. We're going there to convey our gratitude for these 13 years, after all.

>518 I didn't want to end in tears and gloom with “Yume Mita Atode,” so I feel like the final production saved me.

>517 You read it? Apparently quite a few people haven't. I don't think that flow is what the members wanted either. There will probably be fewer people than usual who attend all three days this time, and even if they change the songs, it'll probably only be about two, so I don't think the overall flow will change much.

>518 I don't think there'll be a Spiral, most likely. If they were going to do Spiral, I thought they'd do it in Tokyo, and they didn't. Since it's Grand Cube, where jumping is prohibited, and Yurippe is such a stickler for rules, I don't think it'll happen. A Spiral without jumping would leave you unsatisfied in its own way. I think that weird curtain routine at the end, repeated over and over, was meant to replace Spiral and was about as substantial as Spiral. I don't know whose idea it was to raise and lower it, but maybe they'll do more of it in Osaka.

As someone who became a fan around 2002, I really want “Yume Mita Atode” + Spiral.

I've been a fan since their debut, but I don't have any particular attachment to “Yume Mita Atode.” It leaves me feeling kind of unsettled.

>495 The skirt was sheer, but I think there was probably an opaque lining underneath. It was too far away for me to tell how far above the knees you could see. Also, you're worrying about the bust size, but this is just an illustration, so don't take it literally. I usually only draw men, so I can't distinguish different bust sizes...；；

>523 I've been a fan since around the first album, and I don't have any particular attachment to “Yume Mita Atode” either. Well, the members like it and it's probably their best-known song, so there's no getting around it. They never played the original version of “Natsu no Maboroshi” to the end, though. That's the one thing I regret. There must've been various reasons, I guess.

>521 During the Best shows, didn't she hype up the audience and jump herself too...?

>526 Maybe they didn't know about that kind of thing back then... They didn't hold last March's show at Grand Cube, perhaps because Spiral was in it.

Some people are saying they didn't mention the breakup, but they did say something like “over these past 13 years,” right? The encore also started with something like, “With gratitude to everyone for these 13 years, we'd now like to play an unreleased song.”

>527 This time it wasn't necessarily “They chose Grand Cube because there was no Spiral,” was it? Even if Spiral had been included, would they really have switched to Festival Hall? Probably not. >528 I think they mean there was no more direct talk about the breakup.

They were so roundabout that it made me start hoping for a reunion, so I wanted the members to clearly say “breakup” one more time.

I don't feel that strongly about the CD version of “Yume Mita Atode,” but I always get absorbed listening to the live version, and I can't forget it. The day before yesterday, around “Namida no Yesterday,” I genuinely forgot about the breakup and enjoyed myself to the fullest. I'd been lonely all the way up to this live, but now all that's left is a sense of fulfillment. I really think it's great that they let it end on a bright note. I can't go to Osaka, after all... I still hope Spiral is in the final-day setlist. I want to see Mugen Spiral on WOWOW!

During the final red-curtain routine, Nana-san was standing about three steps in front of everyone else, so I thought she was going to make some major announcement, but nothing happened.

>531 My tear ducts were in the worst shape around “flying” through “Last love song.”

When they play songs up through around TWILIGHT VALLEY, it really hits me, even if it doesn't quite make me cry.

>533 “flying” was great... It was what got me hooked, so hearing it at the end really meant...

>535 I got into them through “Natsu no Maboroshi” too, but “flying” might be my favorite, so I'm glad I got to hear it at the end. Honestly, I was almost crying before it even started, and then the rhythm from the first album came first and completely destroyed my tear ducts. Then “flying” was the third song and I burst into tears. I was happy to spend those sensitive teenage and twenties years with GARNET CROW.

Is it okay to attach a photo to the FC message card?

>537 It's fine if you print it onto the card. Sticking it on is AUTO.

This is late, but the special movie really made me cry. Even though they're right on the verge of breaking up, there was no tension at all; Yurippe and AZUKI-san were just laughing together like normal. I can't believe the four of them are going to go their separate ways.

>538 Huh? What's your basis for that?

For the message cards, the people who appeared on yesterday's NicoNico Live wrote on the side with the logo printed on it, but which side did everyone else use?

Huh? Obviously the pink side with the G-NET logo. It never even occurred to me to write on the white side.

>538 What do you mean, AUTOｗｗｗｗｗ It's OUT, right?ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ You can't even handle English this basic? You must've dropped out of junior highｗｗｗｗｗ Get it? It's OUTｗｗｗｗｗ OUTｗｗｗｗｗ Do you anderstand?ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>543 ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Huh, I wrote all over the white sideｗｗｗ

>536 Oh, same here. GARNET's music had been part of my life since I was a teenager, and thanks to that I got to spend some truly fun years. I wrote on the white side of the card. For some reason, it never occurred to me to use the pink side...

Watching the movie made me realize Nana-san has really aged.

Well, raising kids and doing housework will wear you out.

>547 Well, she's almost at the age of early old age now.

She's turning exactly 40 this year, after all.

>542 >545 >546 Seriously? I thought you were supposed to write on the back (the white side), but I didn't expect people to be so splitｗ

If you're supposed to write on the white side, why not just use plain white drawing paper? Why print the logo on it at all? Since they're going to assemble the cards into an album and present it, it'd look better with all the pink sides lined up. The spare cards placed beside the pocket watch at the Tokyo show must have been stacked with the pink sides facing up.

I wanted to draw the members' faces, so of course I drew on the white side. I wish the official site had told us which side to use...

Do you understand ..... (　´,_ゝ`)

>543 What's “anderstand”ｗｗｗｗｗ It's “understand,” right?ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ You can't even handle English this basic? You must've dropped out of junior highｗｗｗｗｗ Get it? It's “understand”ｗｗｗｗｗ “understand”ｗｗｗｗｗ Do you anderstand?ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Well, either side is fine, isn't it? Nothing's going to happen just because the white side is the back.

I read the pamphlet, and it made me think they probably didn't need to go as far as breaking up. It's a shame they didn't choose to suspend activities.

I have a feeling GIZA itself is probably going to break up soon too.

The best thing about the Tokyo show was “Yellow Moon.” The production made me cry.

>557 They probably didn't want to end things halfway. If they suspended activities even though they weren't going to resume anyway, fans would keep expecting them to come back forever, which would be betraying the fans in a way. Breaking up was a cleaner ending for both sides.

If they release a special box set and remaster every song, I'd be so happy I'd cum. Please, for the photobook, include bikini photos.

GIZA has a creators' school and holds regular auditions, but artists like they had back in the old days just don't come along anymore. Komatsu Miho is one example, and Uehara Azumi too. They were both great talent, but I think the company also has some blame for not being able to support how precarious they were. Once GARNET breaks up, I guess I'll be saying goodbye to GIZA too.

I was planning to say goodbye in Tokyo, but... Every time I listen to a song, I get this nagging feeling. I want to forget it all completely and cleanly, so why does it keep getting worse as time passes...? This is bad... I'm actually thinking about going to Osaka just to wait outside for them after the show. Maybe that would be better for my mental health... Looks like it might turn into a Lonely Osaka Sightseeing Night... Please be kind to me... I wonder if I'll get to see the Glico man in person.

I wonder how much the special box set will cost.

Come to think of it, the strings section of the band members list in the pamphlet had “Miho Komatsu” written in it. There really are people with the same name, huh. But there wasn't anyone like that in the strings section, so I wonder if the lineup will be slightly different in Osaka.

I have a rare surname shared by only about 4,000 households nationwide, but there's still someone with my exact same name.

But Komatsu Miho is a bit muchｗ Could it actually be her?

I just checked, and apparently there are 180,000 people named Komatsu nationwide, so I guess it's someone with the same name. But if Yurippe introduced that name, wouldn't the audience erupt? I can understand choosing someone with the same name as a staff member, but why choose someone with it who would be standing onstage?

When the Shueisha manga Weekly Shonen Jump's “SLAM DUNK” was ending, the author Takehiko Inoue apparently persuaded Shueisha, who wanted to keep it going, with this clever argument: “You guys are willing to end a series whenever it isn't popular, so conversely, if it's popular, I should have the right to end it proudly.”

>569 What a terrible analogyｗ

I'm having a hard time deciding on the Request Best vote. Picking three out of that many is difficult, as expected. I mean, if I choose tomorrow, I'll probably pick different songs from the ones I pick today.

It's like ten songs tied for first, ten tied for eleventh... My best songs change every day.

My favorite songs change day by day too, so I've got more than a dozen different playlists saved.

If a box set is coming out, we can vote for songs we genuinely like without worrying about album-excluded B-sides and the like. It might end up feeling more like a real Request Best. Surely it won't become a best-of packed with singles.

The Tokyo show was my first live since “first,” but honestly, I found myself thinking things were better back then.

Don't ask me for love. People are the sort who betray you.

Hey, lately I think I've gotten tired of chasing things that keep changing.

>576 The AKB girl said on NicoNico Live yesterday that she likes “elysium,” so maybe some people will enter the world of Gane from there. The AKB girl couldn't say “Elyusion,” thoughｗ

>578 This is one of those things you won't be able to read unless you were in the FC around this timeｗ People were actually writing at the venue, “How are you supposed to read this?”ｗ

You guys were saying “Terminus” and stuff too, weren't youｗ

When they call it a “request,” it makes this really hard. I mean, I can't narrow it down to three songs... What am I supposed to do? But looking back over everything like this, there really are more masterpieces among the B-sides and album tracks than the singles. This is impossible.

Gane made so many good and amazing songs that you can't even tell which one is their signature song anymore. On the sheer sinfulness of that. And on how it's much harder to find a crappy song instead.

Hiroki is annoying.

>582 Don't bring that up, it'll start the Timing controversy.

Hey, that's enough badmouthing MelHaven. Don't say they had to rewrite all the lyrics because of the sponsor's wishes.

Which songs you like or don't like is purely a matter of personal taste, after all.

I like “P.S GIRL” and “Kagami ni Mita Yume,” but I don't care for “trade” and “closer.”

>584 What is the Timing controversy?

Obviously the reason for the breakup is that they were sick of you middle-aged fansｗ

Then they'd have broken up ages agoｗ Though I guess everyone from the early Conan generation is an adult now.

Mochi getting all excited over “ﾉｼ” is way too cute, lmao. Mochi: “nosh nosh noshｗｗｗ”

I wonder what kind of dates Yuri-san usually goes on.

“Who'd be stupid enough to buy Request when Complete is coming out?” From the Inoki Famous Quotes Collection.

The hardcore fans will buy it.

The new songs will probably only be included in Request Best.

Then Complete isn't complete, is it?

I'm in row Af on the first floor for the final day. How many rows back is that?

>596 They've already explicitly said the FINAL live footage won't be included. You're dealing with GIZA here.

>598 Where does it say that?

>599 It was written on the flyer they handed out. They're selling the final DVD separately to chase sales. The box won't include everything. If it did, it'd cost over 100,000 yenｗ Well, a lot of fans probably couldn't afford it unless it was under 50,000 yen.

>597 You already know, you just want someone else to say it out loud. I get it.

I don't know about the flyer, but it looks like the official site has removed that wording. I think it said it wouldn't be included when I first saw it.

Looks like it really has been removed. tp://page2rss.com/1dfd631bb7840b78720d939d71d02042

>603 It definitely seems to have been written there. Thanks. It's no problem if it's not included; I'll just buy it separately. But if possible, I'd rather have everything neatly packed into one box.

Is “Rai Rai Ya” some kind of curse?

>604 G-NET MAILING NEWS-vol.308 says it won't be included.

The dreams you envisioned—Gather... urgh, my head.

>585 I didn't like it that much either, but I started liking it after Mochi sang it.

>597 Obviously it's the fifth row.

>609 Huh?

If they're doing “Sora ni Hanabi” in Osaka too, I want that final high note in the original key. I want to hear it live(;_;)

I was searching randomly and ended up finding the company that makes the kaleidoscopes. Apparently there were 70 for Tokyo. It seems they're making the Osaka batch now, but for some reason there are only 50... 25 each show...? Will I even be able to buy one?

>612 Were you the one who left that comment?! It came right up when I searchedｗｗｗｗ

Second-floor row Fe must be pretty far back, right? I wonder if I'll be able to see the members.

>612 Tokyo was already impossible before 11 o'clock. I wish they'd increase production. Or make it application-based like the pocket watch.

>614 I'm in the same row. I thought, at least it's the final show...

>613 I only found it just now, so it wasn't me. >615 Now that it's no longer limited to 100, it'd be nice if they did that.

>612 I guess Tokyo had 50, and the rest were for people involved with the event or something.

>611 I want them to do it too. The Tokyo version was a little different, wasn't it? Yurippe probably likes the song too, so I think they'll do it.

>618 Ah, I see... So that's what happened. I'll do my best to buy one in Osaka.

>610 When they film at Grand Cube, there's no room in front of the first row, so installing a camera rail means losing one row. It's fine if they only use cameras that move on lift arms, but if they have a low-angle camera, a row is basically guaranteed to be lost. So I figure row Ab is the actual front row.

“The Crack-up” would've been a great final song in Tokyo. I don't dislike “Yume Mita Atode,” but... I found this while organizing my hard drive. A present for everyone. Oxygen/238437

>622 I don't really know what it is, but I saved it anyway. Looks like it's going to take a while.

>623 The picture quality is bad, but it's a nostalgic video...

>622 Managed to download it. Thanks �d I wonder if they'll do it in Osaka. It might be difficult in various ways.

>624 Managed to download it, thanks. Everyone was so young. Furui-san and PON-san haven't changed much, thoughｗ I really regret not being a fan back then.

>622 I don't know the password...

The kaleidoscope is up on Yahoo Auctions.

>627 名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。　(/ω・＼)ﾁﾗｯ

>628 It's probably one of that reseller gang, right?

I'm debating whether to buy the Final Light. It'll be my first live, so I wonder what merch I should get.

Buy the pamphlet first, at least. If the light is too much, a towel would be fine too.

>622 Don't delete it before I get home on Thursday!

There were also a few people in Tokyo who just waved their hands the whole time without holding a light, so you don't need to force yourself to buy one. But you should definitely read the pamphlet.

Are tickets only available through Yahoo Auctions and the like now?

>635 Tokyo released some obstructed-view equipment seats fairly close to the show. I don't know if Osaka will do the same, but you should keep an eye on the official site just in case. Otherwise, buy from a scalper at the venue?

>636 Thanks, Gattsu. But if you're buying from a scalper, Yahoo Auctions seems cheaper.

There was one on Yahoo Auctions with the seat number and membership number clearly visible. That's bad, right?

Hey, some idiot has one starting at ¥250,000. Zero bidsｗ

>639 I wonder just how amazing that seat isｗｗ

The beginning and middle of “Mayo i no Mori,” and the ending of “The Crack-up”— Mochi's guitar is so good it makes me cry. This guy sings through his guitar, doesn't he? I've never been made to cry by a guitar before (ToT)ﾉｼ

It's not that amazing. Try listening to Gary Moore sometime.

>621 Is that for real?

>582 Stop badmouthing LOCKS, that album full of crappy songs.

Sorry, I bumped the thread.

>622 Tell me the password...

I want to have sex with Saki Fujita! >646 20130609

>647 I'm not interested in Sakiｗ Thanks. I meant to type 2013 but somehow typed 2012ｗ Oh yeah, it's 2013 nowｗｗ

To everyone going to the Osaka live: If they sing “Yume Mita Atode,” let's all do the call-and-response and get the place fired up♪

Will the final day be about two hours longer? I'm so hyped.

I kind of want the pamphlet, Mini-Cro, and the mirror. I don't need the umbrella. The wallet is so expensive〜 I wish they'd handed out the lights for free.

Will the final show really be that long? Maybe I'll book the 11 p.m. bus.

(_i_)

It'll probably end normally, a little after 7. Ending early is probably the members' final kindness to the fans, so everyone can get home that day.

I'm guessing it's for an eight-hour endurance run of Mugen Spiral.

Isn't that too expensive? http://www.ticket.co.jp/sys/search.php?com=list&sa=search&ki=&pd%5Bword_txt%5D=garnet&pd%5Bpref_id%5D=

If anything, it's too cheap.

My prediction is that the final day will end at 8:00 p.m.

I tried reading the blog of someone called Fuwawa, and it's way too scary...

Someone wrote about the Akagawa railway bridge before, but after watching the “Wasuresaki” TV spot on the website's YouTube or whatever, I finally got it. For the past five or six years I've been extending my running route from work, going as far as around Kema and Shirokita Park... People who watch the spot would probably recognize everything... The other thing I figured out was the view above ground from Higo-bashi Station? Or somewhere around Festival Hall? And maybe the view from the driver's cab of a train crossing the Yodo River?

>659 I hear Fukawa is quitting the ROCKETMAN name.

>661 ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

I think the final day will be about four hours. Aiuchi's breakup live was like that too, and Tokyo lasted three hours even though it was on a weekday. I'm traveling in for it—are the location and pickup bus from Osaka Station to Grand Cube easy to find? When I went for the countdown, Osaka Station had evolved so much that the gap from my memory made it hard just to reach the exit I wanted.

Weekly album chart *1　69066　miwa *2　35664　Yazawa *3　25970　Daft Punk *4　13750　1D (Take Me) *5　13664　Naoto *6　11520　Crazy Ken Band *7　11298　Hanaregumi *8　9662　FMB *9　9043　GARNET CROW 10　8010　the HIATUS 11　7343　Yuzu Congrats on #9.

I love GARNET CROW so much.

9th on the weekly chart, 9,043 copies. Pretty good for an album with no new songs.

>649 Did anyone in Tokyo actually do it in the end?

>663 Since the start time is early, maybe they'll show some footage at the beginning or something? Though it could also start 30 to 60 minutes lateｗ Just try not to have to leave halfway through〜

>668 I hope it doesn't get delayed by the merch line like Tokyo was. I've already booked lodging for Saturday and Sunday and secured Monday as a vacation day, so I don't care what time it ends, but when the start is delayed, I get anxious wondering when it's actually going to begin.

I heard on the NicoNico Live the other day that Yurippe appeared in Conan with actual dialogue. Which episode was she in?

There are quite a few tickets for the 8th on the auction site, but the 9th is still iffy. The 8th would be fine too, but I'm torn. Do you think there'll be some kind of surprise on the final day?

>638 Yeah, I saw that. If one of those pros got involved, they might even be able to figure out the name under the sticky note. And it could've been consigned by a friend too.

That definitely happened.

Do most people who come here have live tickets? I'm so jealous〜

Apparently, if you buy the complete set of magnets at the merch booth, the staff lay every single one out and let you check them. I understand why they need to check them, but it slows that line down so much. They should make a separate line to sell themｗ It'd be unbearable if several people were ahead of you.

They should have had the sets laid out from the startｗ Did they already forget how, at the countdown, they prepared every complete set from scratch right there and the line stopped moving?

>669 So the merch booth was what caused the delayｗ That could easily happen in Osaka too〜 I predict a 5 p.m. startｗ I'm staying overnight for the trip too, so I don't care what time it endsｗ ...though I don't want it to end. >675 Weren't there two or three separate magnet lines? Since they aren't going to sell out, isn't it fine if it takes a while? People buying the whole set are premium customers, so they get careful treatmentｗ

>677 It'd be totally fine if the magnet line were separateｗ I heard they made people wait in the same line as the other merch. If that wasn't the case, my apologies. It reminded me of the three-hour wait at the countdown tooｗ

In Tokyo, the regular merch, old merch, magnets, and CDs each had their own line. There were two magnet lines, but they checked the quantity even for people who weren't buying the complete set, and you got to pick the ones you liked yourself. If someone in front bought an awkward number like 15 and took forever choosing, it slowed things down. Wasn't there an incredibly slow staff member at the regular merch booth? That line took ages, but switching lines would have inconvenienced the people in the other line, so I felt sorry for anyone unlucky enough to join it.

I don't know what it was like after the doors opened, but during the advance sale there were two magnet lines (one for complete-set buyers and one for buying by lottery). This time, if you bought the basic set, they voluntarily checked all the contents for you. They even opened the wallet box to check what kind of wallet it was. I did think, “It's getting fingerprints on it—please wear gloves like you did for ZARD,” though. They laid out all the magnets for me too, and I thought the service was good. My advice to the organizers would be to arrange the complete-set items in the same order as the display while they're still in the bag. That was what I thought as I watched, because the part taking the most time was searching for where each design was. With the merch in the past, maybe I was just unlucky, but there were always things like not getting the bonus poster or finding something missing from the complete set. This was the first time everything was there without me having to check after buying it. It's the first time GARNET has treated me this well, and I was happy. A ten-minute delay for a live is normal for any singer, I think. When they do lives in Okinawa, they can even start 30 minutes lateｗ

Also, at the complete-set counter in the magnet area, cards could be used, but they should've just put a card reader there. Instead, there was someone constantly running back and forth between the display area and the merch-mail-order counter. Everyone I saw buying the complete set was paying by card.

>679 Was it maybe the slightly petite woman with her hair in two braid-like sections, in the middle-ish merch line? I wrote down the merch I wanted and handed it over so things would go smoothly, even if only a little, but the sales staff were so inefficient that when I finally left the line after buying, the otaku behind me were clicking their tongues like crazy. My mood had already sunk before the live even startedｗ

Tokyo's live had a setlist old-school otaku would probably like. For Osaka, I want to hear “The Crack-up,” “Kagami ni Mita Yume,” “Elysium,” “doubt,” “Mel HEAVEN,” “Hare-dokei,” “Nogareru no Machi,” “Matsuri no Jikan,” “Flower,” “Tsumetai Kage,” “Mikansei na Neiro,” “Mayo i no Mori,” and “Shiroi Sora,” among others.

>683 Really? I thought it was a disappointing setlist. I don't think Osaka will change that much. They probably didn't have much time to rehearse. If all three shows have completely different setlists, that'll be impressiveｗ

>622 is gone...

I have a feeling they might make quite a few changes out of consideration for people attending both Tokyo and Osaka. Doesn't matter to me since I can't go to Osaka, though.

Apparently tickets were hard to get this time, so there probably aren't many people attending both. Even if they change things, it'll probably only be a few songs.

>687 Really? I thought there were quite a lot.

I know more than ten people personally who are doing both, so I think there are quite a few.

If you've got GARNET friends, you can probably attend all three days.

Everyone at the Tokyo venue felt that “we just did a live in Tokyo for now” vibe. You can't say goodbye with a smile like that.

Are tickets for the 9th only available through auctions now? I wish they'd add standing-room tickets or something.

Having a hundred people do both isn't a reason to change everything every time.

What kind of car does Yuri-san drive?

>682 Yeah, that person. You ended up in her line, huh? I think it was on the card-accepted side of the boundary between the card and cash-only counters. I was in the next line over, and while my line processed two or three people, the other line had only just finished one. I thought they should put up a sign like at a supermarket saying, “Trainee cashier at work.”

I also saw that the Akagawa railway bridge will become impassable in the fall because of JR West's new-line construction... ...Sorry for dragging Takada Wataru into this too; it feels like I did something wrong. The last time I saw him was at Huckleberry in Katata, Shiga, I think—a live house. There was something I wanted to ask him about the labor songs of that time. But... With a crowd that size, I could've asked, but I didn't have the nerve.

>691 I thought it was a really good live, personally. I was sad when the curtain came down at the beginning, but the production afterward let me finish with a smile. If they'd done something like Spiral, people would've complained that it was too long anyway. There's no way to make a live that every single fan thinks is great. You're completely denying everything the members thought would be right for their final show. If the members are reading this, it must be pretty shocking for them.

I was satisfied with the Tokyo live too. Didn't Yurippe's voice seem more powerful than usual, too? Also, the Tokyo and Osaka setlists will basically be the same, right? Rather than doing three totally different shows, they'd focus on rehearsing one setlist. That's what you'd expect from people with such high sound standards and professionalism.

Come to think of it, what was the meaning of the silver tape at Tokyo? Was it because it was the last show?

>699 They always shoot it out, don't they? This time it wasn't just ordinary silver tape—they printed words on it too, so it'll make a nice memento.

They didn't shoot out the foam hearts this time.

This is my first time at Grand Cube, and I'll be in the second-floor seats. Should I bring opera glasses (binoculars)?

My ticket still hasn't arrived.

You should seriously bring opera glasses. Grand Cube is long and narrow as it is. If they build this setlist by cramming in all the standard songs, they could end up just rehashing the tenth-anniversary show. Personally, I found the song selection fresh. Is it that she can't hit the high notes anymore, after all...? Her volume has increased a lot since her debut, on the one hand, but she inevitably sounds rough. She goes flat here and there, which is more disappointing.

Isn't she hitting higher notes than she used to? She often lowered the key at lives in the past, but I think she can sing almost everything in the original key these days.

I bought binoculars and brought them because I was sitting on the second floor, but they were the kind that barely let you adjust anything, so honestly I hardly used them. I got up at 3 a.m. that morning too, so I briefly fell asleep during “Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu Keredo”... Even though I really like that song, including the PV.

My tickets arrived too—both days are second-floor seats. At the most recent Osaka day one, I got to see Yurippe up close with my own eyes. That was my last chance. It's my fault for not lining up earlier, but... I gave in to temptation and borrowed five CDs for 1,000 yen at Tsutaya. In the end, Gane is just like Western music for me: something I cram into my listening time when I'm busy. Anyway, a breakup and never coming back, or returning to Japan in 20 years after a 20-year absence, are basically the same thing... When the Kinks came to Japan in 1993, I was sure they'd come back in a few years and put in a lot of effort for it... They actually came back two years later, but my ability to process music was still too slow. I bought everything up through UK Jive, but couldn't properly digest it... so I failed to support the rare stuff... There was also this badass who made Ray Davies throw a phrase containing the spelling of “Cadillac” (I didn't even know the song) back at an individual fan and have him answer by singing it. I remember thinking, “I got totally owned.”

Yurippe was already done for once she could no longer sing with that fragile, ephemeral quality.

Since they started focusing on making the lives look good. From the third album onward.

I was in the second-floor seats in Tokyo, so I bought a reasonably priced pair of binoculars (in the 5,000-yen range) and brought them, and they were incredibly useful. Just seeing Nana-san's legs through the slit in her skirt made them worth the price!ｗ I'm in the second-floor seats on the final day too (sob), so of course I'm bringing them.

Jealous of those legs.

I used to have high-performance adjustable binoculars that could show me faces even from the back of Osaka-jo Hall... I never thought the day would come when I'd need binoculars again... I have no money to buy any now. ... ... I wonder if Yurippe's voice is determined down to the hertz, with fixed voices corresponding to her vocal range and major- and minor-key songs. The main one is that certain low-to-mid register where the input and output wrestle for balance, like someone sticking a hand in while she exhales... The high notes that mainly show up in “Crystal Gauge”... The Moritaka-style nasal voice in major-key or up-tempo live songs... and sometimes a Takako Shirai-style voice appears too... In songs with a wide high-low range, she shifts between and blends all kinds of voices. It's interesting. ... And her speaking voice is Shokotan.

>710 Same here, second-floor seats... Second floor at Terminus too, and at FC events I'm almost always around the third row from the backｗ It makes me want to cry... Time to get the binoculars readyｗ

Can you only watch the special movie once...?

>713 I'm in the back of the second floor too. My companion had a fifth-row ticket, but my own tickets are always in the back.

>714 Seriously!?

>716 I just scanned the QR code and it took me to the Request Best page...

>714 You can watch it as many times as you want.

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

The silver tape had words on it during ParaUni and the Best tour too, right? If anything, I never understood why they stopped putting words on it afterward. I'm glad they printed them properly this time. I'm displaying it in my room now.

>718 Whoa, you're right, it works! I was disappointed thinking I could only watch it once, so thanks. In the special footage for the new song, Yurippe's voice is easy to hear, but even though she was singing with gratitude at the live, from my seat it was really hard to make out the lyrics. I could barely understand anything besides “golden〜.” I love this kind of melody, so I really hope they make the lyrics easier to hear in Osaka.

>720 The reason there were no words was probably to cut costs. Since this is the last one, the agency probably gave them the okay this time.

My ticket for the final day is in row C. Should I bring opera glasses?

>723 It's row 29 or farther back, so if you want to see the members up close, bring them. If you have good eyesight or are happy just enjoying the overall atmosphere and the songs, you probably don't need them.

I thought you were bragging about being in the third rowｗ

It was Ca. I was in despair, but it might actually be surprisingly easy to see from there.

You're right behind me☆ Let's enjoy it together♪

I wonder if there'll be a monitor.

Could someone please give me their Aa-row ticket for the final day?　o(>д<)o

How far back will the silver tape fly? I want to get some.

Do seats called Aa even exist?

The roughly 3x opera glasses you can buy for around 1,000 yen aren't very useful. Think of them as merely better than having nothing. I recommend 8x binoculars. 10x might seem better, but the higher the magnification, the more likely your hands are to shake, and it gets too dark to see well. Go look at the actual products at Yodobashi or somewhere and choose a pair that seems easy to use.

Don't use binoculars with a built-in digital camera, okay? Promise!

Wouldn't they catch you in the baggage check?

Did they do “Yellow Moon” because it was a full moon that day?

>730 Probably as far as around rows 4 through the low teens. If you're too far forward, it won't come downｗ You could also go pick it up after the show or while waiting for the encore.

>736 I was around row 30 during the Best tour, and I still got one.

>735 They didn't even know whether the weather would be clear that day, and they went to the trouble of preparing that production, so maybe they wanted to convey something through that song.

>734 I don't think Tokyo did baggage checks. Osaka has fewer people, so maybe they'll start checking if they see this thread... The TV broadcast is already happening in July, so nobody do anything that stupid, okay? There are more staff than usual, so if you get caught and thrown out, don't blame me.

> Binoculars with a built-in digital camera They actually make those?

>731 Isn't Aa the front row?

>621

I don't think they need to break up, but...

Lonely Night!!

Do you need opera glasses for row Bk?

>743 Why not?

Binoculars are seriously useful. I bought a 10x pair called ACTY on Amazon for around 2,000 yen, and I could see clearly even from the second floor of the International Forum. I'm using them in Osaka too. It's a good idea to adjust them roughly in advance, then fine-tune them to the distance to the stage before the show starts.

>733 What is this, Beckham?ｗ

During the outro of the final song, the drums were always so loud and went on so long that they annoyed me, but for the first time I found myself hoping they wouldn't endｗ Final Light is insanely bright, so I watched through my binoculars almost the entire time to keep it out of my field of vision.

They should sell Nana Hole as a secret limited-edition item on the final day.

I've been listening to nothing but the instrumental of “call my name.” It has a calming effect.

>750 I want Nana and Yuri to watch me masturbate using Nana Hole or Yuri Hole.

>751 “flying” and “Over Drive” have a diuretic effect.

751：名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。：2013/05/29 (Wed) 19:45:08.93 ID:4lhSW0gm0 I've been listening to nothing but the instrumental of “call my name.” What kind of person posts stuff like this on 2ch? If you want to talk about yourself, do it on Twitter. Nobody in this world cares what you do, so go die.

>754 Nice self-introduction.

I still don't know how people are supposed to wave penlights during “Seichi.”

>730 This time I got one in the tenth row. The last time I got one, I was in the single-digit rows, but there were always some left on the floor. If you can't catch one, try looking toward the front as soon as the show ends.

>754 Nice self-introduction.

Come to think of it, there was a time when they handed out penlights at the entrance.

What was that song with lyrics like, “It's a meaningful way to kill time〜”? I liked it because I thought the melody was really good.

>760 “Sky Blue.” It's on the second album, SPARKLE.

Thanks. I want to listen to it again for the first time in ages. Maybe I'll rummage around Book Off.

755：名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。：2013/05/29 (Wed) 21:58:52.38 ID:2+qpdj2z0 >754 Nice self-introduction. 758：名無しさん＠お腹いっぱい。：2013/05/29 (Wed) 22:22:50.24 ID:vGBEZvoh0 >754 Nice self-introduction. So this is the kind of bug you get from constantly replying to yourself.

>763 Nice fantasy.

>735 If it's sunny, “Hare-dokei.” If it rains, “Yasashii Ame.” I'd be insanely happy with either. Sometimes the Musing advance seats are way in the back, and since this is the last time, I bought 8x opera glasses on AMOZON. I might not use them, but just in case.

My ticket for the final day still hasn't arrived. Am I the only one?

>766 Contact G-NET.

[AKB48] This country is abnormal... http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/akb/1369833494/

The breakup is getting closer by the minute... It's way too lonely to think I'll never be able to see GARNET CROW again.

I was way too dependent on them, so I can't settle down every day.

Goodbye, CROW.

That certain Monchi thread is in total chaos over the vocalist's marriage and pregnancy.

>772 If both were announced together, it'd practically feel like a shotgun wedding〜 It's amazing they managed to hide it this longｗ I don't even know either of those bandsｗｗ I hope Yurippe finds happiness too. I'd be happy if her partner were Mochi, but no way〜

Mochi probably has a cute girlfriend already.

>774 A girlfriend is fine, but will Mochi's source of income be okay from now on?

This guy is an idiot. Then the first and second sticky notes are meaninglessｗ http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k166315391

777

>775 He probably won't be rolling in royalties, but I don't think he'll be unable to make a living.

Yurippe (36-year-old virgin), untouched by scandal, is truly a goddess!

I wish GaneKuro had done prog rock. It could've become something even more incredible.

>776 Lmaoｗ Still, ¥200,000 is insane. That'll definitely still be available on the day.

What time are the people going on the 8th planning to arrive at the venue? I'm aiming for around 3:30.

I only found out about the breakup just now from a YouTube comment. They were the first artist I ever got really into, and the first CD I bought was “Yume Mita Atode.” I really should've gone to at least one liveorz

>783 It's not too late—go now. Otherwise you'll end up with “Blue Regret.”

>782 I bought my merch in Tokyo, so I'm going much later. Why do you want to know?ｗ

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

I love Nana-san. I want to eat together, go out together, and sleep together.

>786 Are you the person who's been posting about this? If it's an FC ticket, it says you should contact them if it hasn't arrived by today, so you should do that. >787 You mean, “I want to live together”ｗ Come to think of it, I haven't seen the person who always says they'll do their best for Yuri-san latelyｗ

I'm glad they broke up before the marriage and pregnancy came to light.

>787 But Nana-san seems like the type who'd leave a note when you woke up and then disappear somewhere...

>778 I see. That's a little reassuring. I was thinking the other members could make a living writing songs, but what about Mochi... I didn't realize he also provides songs. Sorry, I'm such a casual fan.

I'll contact them now... I didn't expect the final show to turn into such a hassle. I wonder if it'll be okay.

What released song does the unreleased one sound like?

I'm in row Cl. It's pretty far back—are binoculars basically mandatory?

>794 If your eyesight is below 1.5, they're mandatory.

All kinds of monsters.

Tokyo ending with “Yume Mita Atode” made it feel even more predetermined.

“Thank you so much, everyone, for everything today. This has become the last song. Toooonight, in the cooorner of Edeeeen〜 Hey! Ya! Hey! The way he said it was hilariousｗ”

Totally unrelated, but I won tickets to a B'z live. I got carried away and applied for four, so I have three extras. Does anyone want to go to Nagoya Dome?ｗｗ

>782 I'm not even buying a Lonely Light, so I plan to arrive at the venue just before 5 p.m. The only merch I've bought at a live is Mini-Cro... >799 Three B'z tickets could probably sell for a pretty high price, though.

This place is nothing but scalpers too.

10 days until GARNET CROW breaks up.

>798 Was that “Twilight Valley”?

>799 I would've wanted them if it were Nissan Stadium.

The language of lilacs: cherished friends, memories of youth, first love. I cried.

>803 Correct(^^)

Give us love!!

>788 You stopped seeing them around right before the Tokyo live, didn't you?

>808 That takes me back. Yurippe really started letting loose around then.

>809 Wrong anchor. I meant >807.

What is >807 supposed to mean? I'm a casual fan, so I don't know...

>811 Google Hasui Shuka.

>811 LIVESCOPE OF THE TWILIGHT VALLEY. The rest is on the DVD!

>812 I still don't get what that has to do with GARNET. >813 Thanks. Man, looking back, I really wish I'd gone to more lives. That Tokyo one the other day ended up being my first and last.

>814 I've been to four, but I wish I'd started going sooner...

I wanted to go to the first show, the countdown, and Ninna-ji. The first one was financially impossible for me, though. What a shame.

Sorry for talking about myself, but recently I remembered that I'd actually applied for the Premium Live and lost. Thinking that if I'd won, I might have gone to every live after that, leaves me with an indescribable feeling. An ending that can't be changed...

Did my ID change? 817 was 814, the person whose first live was the one the other day. Sorry for posting so many times.

I'm jealous that you've been a fan since the Premium Live. I only got hooked around this time last year, and the other day was my first show. I'd known “Missed Call” and “Natsu no Maboroshi” from Conan, but at the time I was only interested in B'z and Komatsu. I never dreamed the day would come when I'd complete my collection of Gane CDs and DVDs.

I really wanted to see Okamocchi's gold-top Les Paul one last time. I wonder if that Les Paul ended up being used only for recording to reduce wear from live shows...

>820 I can't believe someone else was thinking the exact same thing as me. I got used to the Mira too, but I'd love to see Okamocchi play the Les Paul one more time.

>821 I'm surprised someone else thought the same thingｗｗ He said that Les Paul was incredibly heavy, so he made the lighter Mira his main live guitar, right? And using a 1957 Les Paul live would be scary in its own wayｗ After he started using the Mira, he stopped using anything but the Mira and the black Jaguar, so I wanted to see the Telecaster and the light-blue Strat too. I admired Okamocchi so much that I bought a Mira in the same colorｗｗ Sorry for the long post.

>814 The live for “parallel universe” two years ago? That was my first and last. I was a hidden fan since Eternia—or rather, since “flying”... I wish I'd gone to more shows too. And I can't choose my three Request songs, so I can't sleep.

Made in '57? That was made in 2002, wasn't it? It was a Custom Shop '57 reissue, though. And the black one wasn't a Jaguar—it was a Fender Mexico Cyclone II.

I just checked and that was wrong! Who was the one saying it was a Cyclone?!

PV notes: mysterious Eyes: a PV where photographs move. flying: Yurippe and Nana-san get photographed on city streets while singing in a studio. Even if I Line Up a Thousand Words: everyone goes out together, takes photos, and stops here and there. Last love song: they play chess, watch TV, and go out in a PV set indoors and outside. Yume Mita Atode: Yurippe and Nana-san go out while performing a studio live. Call my name: a PV about Furui-san's hairstyle. Timeless Sleep: they go somewhere by train. Kimi to Iu Hikari: they sing while out somewhere. Spiral: Yurippe sits in a grassy field. Wasuresaki: they fly paper airplanes. What am I doing first thing in the morning? I'm going to bed.

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

It wasn't a Jaguar—it was a Cyclone.

My mistake, it was a Tornado...

I think “Kagami ni Mita Yume” is the best song on Terminus. “Shiroi Sora” and “P.S. GIRL” are good too.

The connoisseur's choice is “trade.”

The third is “Nostalgia.”

>830 Maybe “Umi o Yuku Shishi.” At first I thought, “Huh!?” But it grew on me the more I listened.

>830 Mine is “Kagami ni Mita Yume” too. The arrangement in the second verse is a little light, but it's my favorite on Terminus.

At my level, as someone who's been listening since the early days, the indie album still feels like the best one. Perm Yurippe is the best.

Here comes the “I'm a hardcore old fan and nostalgia nerd” guyｗｗｗ

I'm only talking about people at my level. I don't know how it is generally.

Quite a few good seats for the final day are up on the auction site. Since people are spending money on merch and everything else, I guess even people who don't normally sell tickets are selling theirs.

And there's Complete too.

>839 The merch is expensive this time too. I wonder how much it costs to buy everything. The wallet, kaleidoscope, and magnet can alone come to 70,000 yen...

Of all Nana-san's hairstyles, short black hair was the best. Why does she have to dress flashy just to match Yurippe?

I love “The Someone's Tale.”

Nana-san looks unbelievably beautiful in the one. I even use her as my phone wallpaper. By the way, does anyone know what they're saying in the rap part of “Nakenai Yoru mo Nakanai Asa mo”?

I'm thinking of starting a GARNET fan site after the breakup. Do you think there'd be any demand? The goal would be to keep GARNET from fading away...

Hi, I'm in.　ﾉ

The admins of every GARNET fan site have no motivation, so the sites are all dead. Or they've shut down.

>800 >Three B'z tickets could probably sell for a pretty high price, though. No way. If three out of four applications win, that means B'z lives are starting to stop being profitable too.

The hall tour is happening this time, so those tickets are apparently selling for high prices. And there are plenty of stadium-tour dates, so the price isn't going up.

There are candid photos on Yahoo Auctions. Aren't they stolen photos?(´･ω･`?)

>826 I misread “go out” as “shoot it out” and things got very bad.

They were probably taken with binoculars that have a digital camera built in. Two middle-aged women... They look really old in those candid photosｗｗ

Does taking candid photos count as a prohibited item?

Of course it's taking candid photosｗｗ If photography was prohibited, then it's a violation.

The person in front of me watched through binoculars the whole time. They were in the second floor, so I didn't really care.

If it's a candid photo, that means interfering with GIZA's business. They're telling you to buy the DVD if you want to see it.

Judging from the angle, the photos were probably taken from the slightly left side of the first floor. Since all the other simultaneous listings are candid photos too, it seems more likely to be a dealer than a fan.

Candid photos, huh? So sleazy〜 I saved them for now〜

The rule is that if it's prohibited but not illegal, then it's okay, I guess. There is a moral issue, though.

There is an issue of portrait rights, though. Celebrities don't get protected from being photographed, but since their likeness is part of their business, candid photos cause financial damage. Well, that's a civil matter.

It's highly likely to be illegal as an infringement of copyright and portrait rights.

So GARNET has started attracting candid photographers too. Judging from the angle, they were probably taken from somewhere in the middle-left of the first floor. Anyway, it'll be on TV soon, so people with any common sense shouldn't buy them. Yurippe will probably be even more hyper in Osaka than in Tokyo, and if they don't cut it, they'll get some good footage. By the way, why are all those photos from after the encore? I couldn't see it well in person, but I'm happy Yurippe's fake nails seemed a little shorter than usual. And she's cute.

I reported it as a violation for now.

If you're going to break the rules anyway, at least photograph something more risqué!

Was it during the Rocks days? There was an old lady taking candid photos then too.

I want to hear “Bokura dake no Mirai” at the final live.

>843 “which you do it,get up and you face your wrong.almost all your thing shake it up that move to get down.” Those are just words I sort of heard and strung togetherｗ The rap part probably uses sampled audio or is just one of the arrangements, so I don't think it has any particular lyrics or meaning.

I've been reporting it, but every time I check, it says “There are no violation reports.” That means someone must have bid, right? A bid means an instant purchase.

>866 That's the first sensible reply I've seen.

Is there not going to be a Terminus DVD?

>866 Thanks, that had been bothering me.

http://twitter.com/kyonyu_gazo/status/334247220335497218/photo/1

Yuri masturbation now.

I thought about buying the candid photos, but I'll stop. Nana-san looks exactly like a housewife exhausted by lifeｗｗ Her hair's all frizzy.

The pamphlet has photos from past tours, and there are tons of fun-looking ones you can't see on the DVDs. I'm jealous of the people who went.

This time looks promising. Have they learned something with age? Minako was way too extreme last time... It's a similar situation. A breakup alone is too mild. After the final encore, they should say something like Momoe Yamaguchi: “We're getting married in Europe and settling there.” I want to hear words on that level and have them stab a mark into my chest (a gift), though I don't know how I'll feel on the day. Young people probably won't understand... Is it some kind of (nice-looking) S&M feeling? A gift from the person you fell for that will never disappear for the rest of your life. Liking a female singer is the same as liking a beautiful(?) Yakult lady, since the widow rate is high. At 45, I've finally realized that I get off on situations wrapped in an enormous amount of ○×. No wonder I can't get married. There aren't any ordinary people wrapped in something that enormous. Is she a phantom (a Ryodan?) and a collector's item? Normally I would absolutely never choose the Yurippe type... But still. The image of Minako—slender? aloof and defiant—is a phantom. I couldn't find anyone besides Yurippe to overlay that image onto.

Go stalk a Yakult lady and get arrested.

Yurippe used to be cute, but now she's a heavily made-up old lady.

I really do love Yuri-san and Nana-san.

How many Gane songs has Mochi sung? Last Love, ME PV, Kono Te, Wasuresaki, MelHaven... What else was there?

Ask in the Mochi thread.

They sang “Even if I Line Up a Thousand Words” recently, didn't they?

To the general public, it must be as painfully cringe as “Diamond da ne”orz

>879 KuriGe.

>879 Mikan.

>882 Gane is way more painful than that. I've seen countless people laugh at them when they appear on TV.

I just voted for the songs, and choosing three is really hard. I wanted to include “Mayo i no Mori,” “Nogareru no Machi,” and “Blue Regret,” but I left them out because there's no way they'd make the best-of even if I voted for them. It was a painful choice... I figure it'll be a two-disc set with about 30 songs, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what makes it in. The only ones I can predict are “Wasuresaki,” “Yume Atode,” “Nora,” and “flying,” so I'm very excited.

I'm looking at the lyrics to “Holy Ground” now, and every song feels like the breakup was already built into it—or rather, the poetry is rising up in a weird way... They're all related to loss... Even though this person sings in Japanese, except for the super-famous songs and the ones with clear diction, the lyrics are hard to make out. That seems built in too. Like with Western music, unless something like this happens (the breakup), you don't really put the lyrics in your head; they become songs you listen to for a breather... In the sense that the lyrics—the message—can finally sink in, the breakup may have meaning. Separate from the members themselves, the songs can “attain Buddhahood,” so to speak. Someone here said it was pearls before swine, didn't they?

>886 I went with “Endless Desire,” “Nogareru no Machi,” and “Flower.” “Matsuri no Jikan,” “whiteout,” and “fill away” were hard to leave out too.

I think “I can't take” is a masterpiece.

>889 But it's a pretty obscure song, right?

>888 Oh, someone else picked “Nogareru no Machi.” I wanted to include “fill away” too. It feels like everyone is putting in their own favorite obscure songs, so we're going to end up with a best-of that's absolutely not an entry pointｗ For the record, I chose “CG & CB,” “Love is bird,” and “picture Of World.” If it were three songs per album, I wouldn't have had such a hard time choosing.

I voted for “Endless Desire” because it wasn't included on All Lovers or the tenth-anniversary best-of, so I was relieved to see other people had picked it too. I wanted to include “Tsumetai Kage,” “Yuzukiyo,” “U,” “Mayo i no Mori,” “Mizu no Nai Hareta Umi e,” “Yellow Moon,” and “Lonely Night” too.

It looks like there'll be very few singles, but what kind of singles will still make it in...?

Locks: “Yume Mita Atode,” “Natsu no Maboroshi” Candidates: “Missed Call,” “flying,” “Last Love,” “KomaNe,” “Eimin,” “KuriGe,” “KuraGe,” “Wasuresaki” On the line: “Kim'inchi,” “Rocket,” “Spiral,” “Kimi Kazar u Hana,” “Eden,” “Maboroshi,” “Namida Ie,” “Sekai Mawaru,” “Over Drive,” “Nostalgia” The rest are probably a long shot.

Looks like it'll be a damn boring album.

Yesterday I went to Hoto-ya Honten in Pontocho, a Kyoto ramen shop, for the first time in ages, and it had closed... What happened to the autographs inside? Did they throw them away? I want one so bad.

>896 I literally just saw it yesterday in a newsletter I won on Yahoo Auctions(´･ω･`)

The Pontocho Hoto-ya closed at the end of October 2011. I stopped by Kyoto on the way back from Osaka for Live Scope 2012 last year and found it closed...

>894 Since the songs that got people hooked on Gane are likely to rank high, the five Conan songs (“Yume Atode,” “NatsuGen,” “KimiHikari,” “Wasuresaki,” and “Namida Ie”) plus “flying” have a good chance. “Last Love Song” and other popular songs might get in as standard fan favorites, but the proportion of singles will probably be pretty low. There is a best-of coming this time too, after all, so I bet plenty of people will exclude singles across the board. If everyone picks obscure songs just because it's a rare chance, like people here do, it'll be chaotic—not just single-free.

It hasn't come up in this discussion, but if we're talking about a song I personally like, I'd say “Kyou no Kimi to〜.”

If they're live recordings, duplicate songs like on ZARD's Request Best aren't a problem even if there is a little overlap.

After the breakup, will Mochi be the only one appearing in public, since he's doing solo work? Or maybe it won't turn out that way after all.

Come to think of it, what is ZARD doing these days? I googled it and found out she was dead. Seriously...?

Voting for my personal favorites purely for self-satisfaction: 1. “Like I Can Do Nothing but Fall in Love” 2. “Last love song” 3. “Mysterious Eyes” I have a feeling they'll all get left out... I was happy to hear a little bit of “Koisuru...” at the last live.

>902 It does feel like that'll happen. Furui-san and Nana-san always had more of a behind-the-scenes vibe anyway. And Yurippe seems like she's done everything she wanted to do. >903 Were you living on a deserted island?ｗ

Even if it's only a tiny venue, I wish Yuri-san would come out in public on her own. Sing some old GARNET CROW songs... That's impossible, I guess.

>905 The deserted-island line killed me.

Nana is the most dangerous one.

Considering the remastering, I'd rather avoid voting for singles... Speaking of which, do the songs remastered on THE ONE sound noticeably different when you listen to them?

http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=s9XZFZiPFpA

>904 I absolutely love “Koisuru〜.” It's a close call whether two singles will make it, and “Koisuru〜” might have a low chance, but I really want it included. Like >900, I'm happy that so many people are picking third-album songs. The third album is what got me hooked on GARNET, and it's still my favorite album.

1. picture of world 2. ONLY STAY 3. Nora

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

Good morning, Nana-san. I fell asleep halfway through, but you looked cute sleeping. Let's sleep together again today. I love you.

That's disgustingｗｗｗｗｗｗ

I want to tour Kyoto's shrines and temples with Yuri-san, then eat a bento she made for us at noon.

>914 Honestly, that's roughｗｗ The “I love you” at the end gave me chillsｗｗ

The strong, big-hearted-mom type of woman at my workplace can balance work and raising children without a problem, but someone delicate who writes lyrics like Nana-san, maybe blood type A, the pale and anemic type at morning meetings, probably has a hard time balancing GARNET CROW and childcare... ... ... And then there's the split between old and new fans, and Yurippe getting married? ... It feels like they broke up because it was time to break up, I guess.

I think we should decide which songs to wave our lights to... Everyone was waving them randomly at the Tokyo show, so I think it might be better to decide together based on Tokyo's setlist. What do you think? rhythm Misty flying Natsu no Maboroshi Last Love Song Himawari no Iro Missed Call Over Drive Closer Sora ni Hanabi Yume no Hitotsu Even if I Line Up a Thousand Words Namida no Yesterday Lonely Night wish U Call my name Sekai wa Mawaru Yellow Moon Futari Smart Money Eden Bata, no more comments Hallelujah Yume Mita Atode

Since it's a live, waving your light whenever you want should be up to each individual. But please spare me the people next to me singing at full volume or screaming.

>911 The first five songs on the third album are all 2-step, so I think that continuity feels really good. And the undisputed king, “Koisuru,” is 2-step too.

But honestly, it's pretty deflating when people only half-heartedly turn their lights on or wave them in completely different directions. I've already given up on the multicolor chaos, though.

I don't need Request Best. I want instrumental versions of every song.

>919 Even if we decide, can we really make sure everyone knows about it?

>919 Even if we decide, the setlist might not be the same.

>912 I like “Picture of world” and “ONLY STAY” too. Our tastes are pretty similar. Also “Mijikai Natsu” and “Secret Path.” But if they did a project like “Best 28: great songs that probably won't be chosen,” they might have a chanceｗｗ I had no choice but to make my own CD and finish the whole thing for my own satisfaction. And “Kyou no Kimi to〜” is definitely going in.

Why do we have to set rules every time like we're marching in formation? Are you idiots?

People who heckle and shout over things: annoying. The guy doing otaku dance in the very front at Tokyo: made me cringe. I'll say it again: otaku dance makes me cringe.

I didn't go to Tokyo, so I want to know which songs everyone was generally waving their lights to. “Over Drive,” “Lonely Night,” and “Sekai wa Mawaru,” maybe?

The songs to wave them to are: “Over Drive,” “Futari no Rocket,” “Lonely Night,” “Seichi.”

What time do you think Saturday's show will end? Around 8? Or maybe 9?

>930 Thanks. So it's not just waving side to side. I'll read the room and do it accordingly.

>919 Go die.

Hey!! There's only a week left!! What are we going to do?!

Everyone keeps saying it's almost over, but for me, who isn't going to Osaka, it's already over.

Will anyone sell me a ticket for the day of the live?

I have an extra for Saturday.

Buy one at auction.

Tokyo was 7 to 10. Come to think of it, they never said anything about a breakup or it being the last one.

The weather was nice today.

When you're with someone cold-hearted, you become a cold person too. When you're with someone warm-hearted, you can become a warm person.

When you see someone who looks sad, you become sad too. When you see someone who looks happy, you gradually become happy too.

Why is that? How come? No matter when, no matter where, everyone, everyone, is imitating someone.

You're in the way.

Happy, sad, painful, fun. Whatever the words or whatever the feeling, being together is happy, being together is fun, being together is good.

Because it's a sign of love, don't get angry, don't make things difficult.

Let me imitate you. I want you to imitate me too. Your imitation, my imitation.

Reported.

Gentle melody, gentle singing voice. But for some reason, it sounds so sad.

Is this a troll?

“Enough, that's enough!” Don't cry, don't cry.

Do it somewhere else.

The arms I stretched out to hug you couldn't touch a thing. You, who should have been right in front of me, had disappeared.

>911 >921 I'm happy there are people here who like “Koisuru,” even though it doesn't get mentioned much!

>950 Someone start the next thread, please. I wonder how far this thread will get before the breakup.

I drove past yesterday and looked at the event board, and there wasn't a single solo live listed besides GARNET CROW. Maybe that's because they held a music festival? I can't remember whether it was my first time at this venue or whether I'd been there once before... I remember the Tokyo International Forum because I'd gone there for something, more than ten years ago, I think. Was the Parco Theater around here too? It should be somewhere between Tokyo Station and the station where the Tokaido and Yamanote Lines branch off, right? ... ... I remember now. Was it the “Wasuresaki” TV spot—the one with the Akagawa railway bridge? The white flower that appears near the beginning. Was it a morning glory? A bindweed? An evening glory? I don't know, but it's probably the same kind of flower, and it looked a lot like the flower that almost made me orgasm around 1:30 a.m. one night in October 2005.

Hacchan@seiriosｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

Connecting the end of “Nostalgia” with Hiroko Taniyama starting to make her move, I'm getting some ominous ideas. It's fine if the blue flowers and birds shatter, but if the walls collapse, that's no joke. If Dazai is the Tamagawa Josui, then geographically Grand Cube is submerged in the Okawa. Double suicide? A mass ○× with the fans... Plus, for appearances' sake, this would turn GARNET CROW into something museum-like that never breaks up for all eternity... It used to be almost a zero-percent chance, but these are strange times. Maybe a linked incident has a 2.15% chance? If it's with Yurippe, I'm not afraid. ... ... If I were in the first row on the first floor and an earthquake happened, I'd shout “Yurippe, watch out!” and throw myself over her. I'd be crushed under a pillar and die an honorable battle death. I don't think anything like that will happen, though... It's probably bad to write this from a religious standpoint, but I wrote it anyway. Let me say, “May the world be at peace.” There was the Tohoku earthquake, after all. Even if the people back then were religious, they couldn't prevent World War II.

Brigitte Bardot always makes me think of Yurippe, you know.

Has there been any announcement about TDC yet?

Listening to “classic,” the violin harmonies melting together shine golden, letting you feel the beauty of harmony on your skin.

The same can be said on a mental level. A quiet heart whose flame has gently gone out.

Calmly, leisurely, at its own pace, it will flow on.

Come on, shall we go together...?

Why not just throw away all those worries and hold hands?

I don't understand why things didn't develop into a romance with the girl who sat next to me at the Tokyo live.

He probably thinks he's writing something clever, but honestly, I have no idea what it means.

rxBJAz0i0 You can't beat Nana-san.

Because we both know the love is over.

When can we start applying for the Premium Box? After the travel costs for this trip, the merch, and applying for the pocket watch, if the box application comes right away too, I'll go bankrupt.

rxBJAz0i0 How shallow are those lyrics? Are you Big Katsu?(´･ω･`)

http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/168407378 Now that's a bubble.

>973 You should place a joke bid.

Looks like there won't be any extra seats in Osaka.

>959 Hey, Blue Flower guy, whereabouts on the second floor are you sitting on the final day? If our seats happen to be close, I'd like to be prepared, so tell meｗ

What will Osaka's setlist be like? The first day in Osaka will be the same as Tokyo, but if they replace “Yellow Moon” and “Himawari no Iro” on the second day, what will they use? “Eien ni Hōre”?

When I watch the footage of them performing “Blue no Mori de” and “Love is a bird” live, the audience is so quiet it's awkward. They haven't played these two since then, right? Did they think they weren't popular?

>866 In the PV, Yurippe is moving her mouth along with the rap, so the lyrics probably do actually exist.

>979 Maybe they just left Yurippe's placeholder lyrics as they were? They said several times that when making demos, they sang in meaningless English, right?

Didn't they say someone wrote the rap as a message to GARNET CROW? I don't know who wrote it, though.

Yuricola is the best!

>977 Why would they change the main attraction?

Well then, time to masturbate to Yuri and go to sleep.

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

6 days until GARNET CROW breaks up.

Someone please start the next thread. I couldn't create it. If you can't do it, show some restraint from 900 onwardｗ

All right, I'll try starting it.

Next thread: GARNET CROW part287 http://toro.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/musicjg/1370231685/

>978 I've always thought this, but the cheers—or rather, heckling—are insanely loud, yet when Yurippe calls on everyone to sing, their voices are pathetically quietｗ I really like “Love is a bird,” though〜

>989 Nice work〜 I was nervous wondering if anyone would start itｗ

>990 I know, rightｗ The people doing the heckling aren't even making a soundｗｗ Still, it's scary when she suddenly calls on a song that has never been requested beforeｗ “Ii yo ne〜” the other day came out of nowhere tooｗ

>990 The vocal range for heckling and singing is different, isn't it?

The front-to-back waving during “Lonely Night” was novel. It was literally fusion!

ID:rxBJAz0i0 Dropping poetry in the GARNET thread was reckless. Watching him get completely beaten down was hilarious.

>995 Can't you just ignore him? He keeps coming back because you engage with himｗ

Hacchanｗｗｗｗｗ

If this is 998, GARNET CROW will reunite.

999

If this is 1000, I get to kiss Yurippe(ヽ'3`)
