>16 Where will we go after the breakup?

>17 >>16 >Where will we go after the breakup? The Legendary Musicians board? That seems better than the Oldies board.

Yurippe, kiss me...(ヽ'3`)

>17 Can we stay here until the FC disbands? Or until the 9th? What about FanMon?〜

Given the current situation, nobody besides Mochi has solo activities or a dedicated thread. It'd be great if we could follow everyone's individual activities here. There are tons of people on the other Japanese-music boards where you can't even tell whether they're active or not.

Breaking up and being in a state where you don't know whether they're active are two different things, aren't they?

>21 That would be against the rules〜 And with so many people bumping the thread, it might just attract weirdos and turn into a messｗ If we want to chat at our leisure, the Oldies board might be better. We have a grace period until the FC disbands in Octoberｗ

On Ticket Ryutsu, someone keeps changing the price of an 8th-day ticket: 50,000 → 30,000 → 50,000 → 25,000 yen. But maybe the problem isn't the price—could it be that they exposed the entire seat number?

>1 P. Otsu GIRL. The final live is this weekend... Looking back, it came around fast. I couldn't get a ticket for the final day, but I gave up on paying a huge amount at auction, so I'm planning to enjoy the first Saturday show in Osaka.

>23 Sorry, I know it's against the rules. I know that, but GARNET's songs probably won't ever become oldies to me, and I don't want them to become that...

Ticket wish★

I'm going on the 9th. What time should I line up for merch if I want to buy the kaleidoscope? Also, for anyone who bought the long wallet, how is it to use? Is it just for collecting? The coin purse I use at events has been surprisingly handy. It would've been even better if they had a black one this time too.

The white one will get covered in hand grime and turn black. Unless you're the kind of person who thinks that gives it character, it's not suitable for everyday use.

>28 There are supposedly only 25, so you need to be among the first 25 people in line at minimum. And judging by the auctions, some people are buying two or more, so you'll probably have to go really early to get one.

5 days until GARNET CROW breaks up.

Time to masturbate to Yuri and go to sleep.

>30 It's a limited item, and one person can buy two? Maybe the ones on Yahoo Auctions are scalpers lining up to buy them. There was someone in a suit at the Osaka show in March who bought about seven copies of the new Mini CDs, and only a few other pieces of merch. Was that person a fan, or just a reseller?

Nana-san is drifting farther and farther away... Only five days left.

I'm curious about the quality of the leather in Nana's wallet.

Which album is “jewel fish” on?

Probably B-side or crest.

I'm debating whether to buy the Final Light. I don't even have “Lonely Night,” and it won't be useful for anything after the live ends.

>37 Thanks. I'll look for it after work♪

I think it'll be fun too, but if there are lots of lights in the venue, the members will probably be happy too, so I'll buy one.

I'm jealous of everyone who can go to Osaka. I went to Tokyo, and that was the last moment in my life when I'd ever see the members in person. Those of you going to Osaka, enjoy it without regrets too.

>29 That's why I wanted the black one. Even if you rely on leather cleaner, a wallet will get old in no time if you use it every day. It's a tough choice. Maybe I'll buy an Okamon insteadｗ >30 So it really does mean going early in the morning. I'm getting to Osaka the day before, so I can move as early as I want in the morning, but I don't know the area and I'm worried about all sorts of things. >35 If it's the same leather as the coin purse from the FC event, they used pretty decent stuff.

I use both the Lonely Light and Final Light when I sing karaoke〜 So you should buy one.

I want to lick Yuri-san's clitoris.

>33 At the Tokyo advance sale, the guy in a suit in the line next to me bought three kaleidoscopes by himself, and stuffed two ¥6,800 tote bags full of other merch.

>45 Maybe he was doing it entirely as a job. For someone like that, standing in line is work, so maybe it doesn't feel painful. But wait, it's a limited item and one person can buy three kaleidoscopes? Their customer service has been pretty good lately, so I'll email G-NET right now and ask them to limit it to one per person.

I think a lot of people have already given up on getting one just because there are only 25 per day. Personally, I'd like them to lift the 100-unit limit, though it would probably be difficult.

>47 Since they're completely handmade, increasing production probably isn't possible. Even the 70 for Tokyo reportedly required them to work through the night. Come to think of it, the workshop's blog post has been deleted.

>48 So it really isn't possible, huh? The post was deleted? Maybe GIZA contacted them. Actually, it's my fault for posting the information here. Sorry to the people at that shop；；

An apology isn't going to fix this.

>50 Yeah. I won't post anything here anymore.

Everyone makes mistakes. You get past them and move forward. Though I don't even know if this counts as a mistake.

>47 It seems more valuable than a ticket. I have an extra ticket—does anyone want to buy one through me?

The sense of loss is unreal. Then I realized they've been with me for half my life.

Time to masturbate to Yuri and sleep.

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g128164267 The seat number is fully exposedｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

I'm listening to GARNET CROW like I'm trying to fill in all the time I spent not listening to them.

>56 If someone reports it, do you think the site operator will take action?

As if they wouldｗ

>49 That workshop wrote way too much unnecessary information. They put everything from the artist's name to the order quantity, and it came up near the top of search results, so sooner or later they were bound to get scolded.

Anyway... I can't go, but I hope it becomes the greatest live ever. That's a sincere wish.

Can you bring drinks into Grand Cube? Or do you buy them at the venue? It's my first live, so I have no idea.

4 days until GARNET CROW breaks up.

Do you think the final day will end around 9?

>62 I think you can in the lobby, but I thought eating and drinking inside the venue was prohibited.

>52 >60 Thanks for the thoughtful replies. So I'll keep writing for a little longer. I emailed G-NET yesterday and got a reply today. They contacted the merch staff, and apparently “kaleidscope” will be limited to one per person in Osaka. Well, if I can't get one on the first day either, I'll give up for good.

>66 You probably won't have a chance unless you're in the first group. If they were going to make the pocket watch to order, I wish they'd done the kaleidoscope to order instead.

Lately I've been hearing a melody on the cable music service that's similar to the melody of the line “futo omoidasita you ni, call my name” from “call my name.”

They should limit Final Light too: one per person, one color.

>67 GARNET merch has never had a first-group situation like that. There have often been lines of fewer than ten people, though. The notice says there are no plans to make the kaleidoscope to order.

>68 The actual “call my name”? Or just a similar song? Come to think of it, when I stayed at a hotel in Tokyo before, they played music-box versions of GARNET CROW songs in the lobby. I don't clearly remember which song it was. Maybe “Sekai wa Mawaru to Iu Keredo.”

There isn't even a week left until the breakup, but the replies aren't moving. I guess it can't be helped if the thread fades away like this.

We quietly disappear.

>71 It plays on a current J-pop program, but I'm at work, so I don't have time to look up the song title.

You guys, Momoiro Clover's indie best-of comes out today! There are songs with lyrics by AZUKI-san on it, so buy it for the royalties. I already did(´･ω･｀)

I've been thinking for a while that it looked like some kind of symbol. Then I looked at my membership card—is it FIFA? There isn't a soccer ball, and the bird is facing the opposite direction.

Well, both are definitely crows, but that one is a Yatagarasu.

AZUKI Nana Nana　(^^)v　77 get

>78 Don't sweat itｗｗｗｗｗ

>77 I checked, and you didn't get it at all, you bastard!^^

>79 Thanks^^

I wish they'd release a music-box best-of.

>78 So close(´･ω･`)

I can't post because I've been blocked...

I can post! Sorry for cluttering up the board. I'm coming from far away, so I have to leave before 7 on the day if I want to buy merch. I hope I can get the wallet safely.

There was a racehorse named Red Raven that I was secretly rooting for in the Derby.

I'm listening to THE ONE, and it's really good after all. There was a period when I listened to nothing but the B-sides, but lately I've been thinking the singles are the strongest.

>87 I bought it, but I haven't even opened it...

It comes with an entry bonus, so why not at least open it and take a look? The deadline is the end of the month. There are songs from before I became a fan where I go, “Oh, that was a single?” And songs I thought were singles that aren't includedｗ

I bought the BEST and removed the duplicates from my old playlists. I knew it already, but wow, it's almost exactly the same as at the crest...

I own every CD, but I still bought THE ONE. Same with the upcoming Request Best—I consider it a kind of offering. When will the Premium Box details be announced? And the badge set too.

If I buy the first pressing of at the crest, I'll get the audio for “as the dew” and “Ushinawareta Monogatari,” putting me one step away from owning all the original versions. But it's so expensive...

GIZA employee: “A best-of we can make with almost no effortｗ We can reel in tons of women and kids impulse-buying and rake it inｗｗｗ” That's the truth behind all these best-of albums.

>92 “Azusa” is available as an individual download on iTunes.

>89 When I bought the first best-of, I realized the first album was packed with singles. I thought “Natsu no Maboroshi” was the second single.

>93 Part of me wishes they'd say “Please don't buy this,” like Hikaru Utada did.

>94 Thanks for the recommendation. It's one of my favorite songs, so maybe I'll download it for now. To be honest, the reason I want the first pressing is the photobookｗ

Sorry, not recommendation—admonition.

Are they really ending with 167 songs? I wish they'd released around 200.

>97 The photobook in the fifth-anniversary best-of is the best, though. ... Even in terms of practical use(mutters)

I heard an arrangement of “Rainy Soul” somewhere, but I can't remember where. Was it released on a disc? If anyone knows, please tell me.

>101 The bonus track on STAY.

>100 It was nice that it came with notes.

>101 It's on the first pressing of the seventh album. At recent lives they've often played it as the exit music before Mini-Cro.

>100 The one that came with the calendar case? It was so long ago I have no idea where I put it. >101 I think they played it during the stage change at lives. On disc, it's the non-DVD disc from the first pressing of STAY—the “closer...” version or something.

>102 >104 >105 Thanks. I never bought those. I'm regretting not buying them now.

>106 It's not too late to buy them now.

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

The ticket-transfer threads on Mixi, especially fiddl○r, are so ugly I can't help laughing.

>107 I looked around and found it. Thanks. I couldn't find it on Musing and thought I was out of luck. The box will include every song, right? I hope things like this make it in too, for people like me who missed them.

The fifth-anniversary best-of was packed with both content and bonuses. Even the poster from the lottery draw was a three-poster set.

Hello, nice to meet you. I'm COM. With the breakup news, and the live two months from now being the last one, I'd like to start a project. The idea is to have everyone write messages together. Specifically, we'll write “Thank you, GARNET CROW” in large letters, one character per large white cloth, write everyone's messages around them, connect all the cloths, and then spread the whole thing out together during the final day's live so the members of GARNET can see it. We'll do it during the GARNET call, which should have the least impact on the proceedings. Before the show, I'll explain the project to each person in the relevant area, and we'll only do it after getting everyone's consent. If it causes a problem, I'll take full responsibility as the organizer. We'll collect the messages on the day near the entrances of both the Tokyo and Osaka venues, somewhere that won't cause much trouble. For people who can't come to the venue, I also want to deliver as many voices as possible, so I'll accept messages to write on their behalf. If you want someone to write yours, put your message after “proxy writing requested.” It'd also be reassuring if anyone could help with the preparations before the day. (I'm not confident in my handwritingｗ) I'll also announce it in my personal Mixi diary and on Twitter, but I'd be happy if as many fans as possible could help spread the word about this project. On Twitter, I'll use the hashtag #GCy企画. Sorry for the long post, and thank you in advance.

The first and last live is getting close. Even if I buy a Final Light, I won't have any use for it afterward. I want them to play “nonsense,” “wish,” “Hare-dokei,” and “live.”

I bought the Lonely Light at the countdown live, and I've used it so many times since then that it really did its job. When I bought it, I thought it would be retired after one use, so its performance was beyond my expectations.

I want them to play “Nogareru no Machi” and “Flower.”

I'm lucky enough to be able to attend the final day, but sorry—I can only support them within my current financial means.

I remembered GARNET's wiki and went to look at it. No matter how I think about it, they really aren't an Osaka band... Their spirit is the Kyoto school, with Osaka's Horie coating. At first I didn't think they were otaku-ish, but early on? The first album? “Mizu no Nai...” and songs like that— I borrowed a car and listened to them, and the sound was so obsessively refined. They're exactly the kind of band that doesn't do lives. (I'm the type who accepts YouTube's rough sound, though.) Having some amazing overseas person do the mastering? For a bunch of rookies, they were clearly no ordinary act... So are they a creator collective? A pop band that complements each other from a producer's perspective. Yurippe wasn't a matter of being within reach at all—she's a genius. The way she draws her own line, endures a loser man, and finally casually presents him with divorce papers while smiling... I can't get enough of it.

People from Tokyo: How much did it cost to complete all 63 Lotto-can magnets?

>118 500 yen each.

Does the remastered THE ONE best-of sound noticeably different in terms of audio quality?

If there's a weakness, maybe it's that she never aimed to be a vocalist. If they became successful and had to do 100 lives a year, it might be physically and mentally impossible for her. In the entertainment world, people often carry some extraordinary unhappiness, that urgency and force of having nothing but singing... GARNET keeps its distance from that too. But they're also a pop band that keeps its distance from the art world and jazz vocals. Gane is a hard band to critique. ...Even Spiral—has it always been so uneven? Is it different every time depending on their mood and how they feel that day?

Also, when I heard “Hotaru no Hikari” at the other day's live, I was shocked: “What is this? Huhhh?” It was completely Gane-style, Gane Sound (so unmistakably them). I don't understand the technical details. Is it all down to the arranger's personal touch? It's a cover because everyone knows the song, but if you didn't know that, it'd just sound like a brand-new Gane song. If they wanted to keep the band going, they wouldn't have to worry about writing songs at all. They're at the level where they could keep making decent songs forever.

>100 You masturbated to that? I don't remember very clearly, but I vaguely recall being a little disappointed that there weren't photos of all four of them looking bright and having fun together. Maybe I'll take another look after all this time.

>114 I'm using the one from the countdown too. But you turn that one around and around to switch it on and off, right? If you do it wrong, the top comes off, or it starts blinking like when Nana-san was struggling with it. At Tokyo, it was hard to turn off during some songs. I'm jealous that the current one seems easier to turn off with a button or something. I'm thinking of replacing mine with the new one in Osaka.

Final Light is the kind you twist on too.

After the final live, you guys should go to a soapland and empty yourselves out completely, got it?

I'm going to masturbate to Yurippe now.

>126 I'm planning to go to Tobita Shinchi during the day on the day of the final live.

>117 You were never going to be able to reach her in the first placeｗ Hey, what religion are you in? Also, I saw a post where you said you weren't joining the FC. Why did you join after all?

I want Yurippe to watch me masturbate.

I think songs arranged by Miguel were an indispensable spice—one per album.

You're being this vulgar when they're about to break up〜(´Д｀)

I never ended up having a chance to wear the FC badge... Maybe I'll put it on one last time, feeling sentimental.

The live is the day after tomorrow. Are there any places to eat near Nakanoshima Station...?

No matter how many times I count, I only get 166 songs... I can't find the last one... Orz

There are several deadlines coming up, so here's a reminder: ・Request Best vote: by 12:00 on 6/30... done ・THE ONE entry bonus: by 12:00 on 6/30... done ・FC livescope2013 merch: postmarked by 6/28... not done ・FC pocket watch: postmarked by 7/4... not done ・FC message card: postmarked by 7/4... not done (planning to put it in the box at the venue on the final day in Osaka, 6/9)

Good night, Yurippe!

>135 I reckon the 167th song is “Butterfly Knot.”

Are they really never going to play “Seichi” again? I want to hear it one more time at the end.

Between Yurippe and Nana-san, whose face is actually smaller?

People were waving their lights in completely different ways during “Seichi” right to the very end.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20728004

Time to masturbate to Yuri and go to sleep.

GARNET CROW will probably be the last band ever to hold a breakup live in Osaka. Everyone usually does it in Tokyo.

I'm so glad they aren't breaking up in Tokyo＾＾

Is it true that right after the breakup, Furui-san will join Mai Kuraki's tour as a band member?

>146 It's true.

>147 I'd rather have Nana-san... But if she has more fans than Mai-chan, people won't know who the main act is anymore.

It's finally tomorrow. I wonder where I'll eat dinner, and how much merch I'll buy. I want the mirror and Mini-Cro, but they'll probably be sold out.

>133 Come to think of it, there was a badge〜 Maybe I'll wear mine too.

I still haven't gotten a ticket.

>151 Are you trying to scam someone for a ticket?

>152 No, sorry, that's not what I meant. I just have no hope of getting an Osaka ticket... Would anyone transfer one to me for around 10,000 yen? I went to the Tokyo show, but I still want to go to Osaka.

Osaka will be hot on the 8th and 9th, right? Would long sleeves be unbearable?

Message card: Thank you for these 13 years!! Looking forward to seeing what you do from here on. Is it okay that I wrote that?

What possible problem could there be with that?

Should I write on the white side, or should I use the pink side...? I'm worried that correcting a mistake would be difficult on the pink side, so I still haven't written anything. Also, I've been wondering: did you sign it, or write your name (your real name)?

I haven't even thought of what to write yet, but I plan to write both my pen name and my real name.

The weather looks good on both the 8th and 9th. The 9th will be close to 30°C.

Will they talk in detail about the breakup tomorrow?

129... When my plans fell through, I asked the Riverside Forum staff if there were tickets available on the day. They told me I could get in if I joined the fan club... On weekends, there are lots of places to eat under the tracks at Noda Station on the Loop Line. They're not crowded, but the area is chaotic... It's easy to get lost walking from Grand Cube, so Umeda is probably the safest place to eat. Though I might get lost because it's so huge.

I just wrote my message card, and seeing how terrible my handwriting is made me want to cry all over again... Tomorrow is my final live. I'm sad, but I want to enjoy this precious time.

There will be no call-and-response during “Yume Mita Atode” tomorrow. It will only happen on the final day, so everyone please be careful not to get it wrong.

What exactly are we supposed to do for the call-and-response?

“After I dreamed a dream〜” (Hai! Hai! Hai!) “You're still so far away〜” (Ahsore!! Yoi yoi yoi!!)

( ＾o＾)／Nakamuraya!

You couldn't hear it at all in Tokyo, though.

>167 Because it's a surprise only for the final day.

I'm finally going to write my G-Net message card. ...But now that I'm actually about to write, I have no idea what to say...

I think a simple message of gratitude would make them happy.

There are so many things I want to write, but I think I'll keep it concise and use large letters.

The real breakup ceremony is the after-party once the show ends, though... In the end, it's always insiders >>>>>>>>>>> fans.

Aaaaaaaaa, realizing now that I only went to the Tokyo show is too painful.

Are they even having an after-party?

>160 They already talked about the breakup extensively in the pamphlet, and the official site basically tells you to read it before the live. They probably won't talk about it during the show.

>174 No way they aren't.

>176 Nana-san seems like the type who'd hurry home.

Explain the breakup reason in detail.

>178 They did everything there was to do.

( ＾o＾)／Imuraya's AZUKI granny!

>178 A lot of people will be reading the pamphlet for the first time tomorrow or the day after, so I'll avoid spoilers. In short, it's basically what >179 said. You absolutely should read this in the pamphlet yourself. It'll probably be available through Musing's merch mail order afterward anyway.

I've never bought a pamphlet, but after hearing this much about it, I guess I have to.

>149 There's a Mini-Cro this time too? I thought the previous four were the end of it.

>180 I'm dyingｗｗｗ This is what makes me laughｗｗｗｗ

>161 Oh, you repliedｗ I see—you joined the FC at the Dojima River Forum FC event on November 11, 2012.

>183 No, I mean 2, 3, and 4—the ones up through the previous release.

Wait, Mini-Cro ended with the fourth one, didn't it?

>183 There isn't a new one this time. There are plenty of people who hadn't bought any before (or hadn't attended a live either)...

>182 This pamphlet is at the level where you'll regret it if you don't buy it.

>140 Probably Nana-san. She doesn't have much of a jaw...

I'm exhausted. I'm going to take a bath at work now.

The pamphlet doesn't go into that much detailｗ Even after reading it, I thought, “Is that all...?”ｗ

Well then, time to masturbate to Yuri and sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.

1 day until GARNET CROW breaks up.

>194 Noooooooo!

Heading to Osaka from Kanto! I hope it becomes a good breakup live.

I don't want the day to come, but it's the day we draw the line so they can set off on their new journey. Yeah, I won't cry. Waaahhh.

“Yume no Hitotsu” sinks into my heart.

There are already about 25 people at the venue.

Will we get yelled at if we stand up in the second-floor seats?

>200 I don't think anyone will yell at you.

The kaleidoscope is probably impossible now. What a shame. Maybe I'll use the money I saved to buy another basic set.

>202 Normally they should save some for tomorrow tooｗ Line up first thing tomorrow morning! You can do it!

What's the weather like at the venue? Are short sleeves enough?

I want Yurippe's pubic hair.

>303 It feels like I'll have to stay up all night tomorrow, and I don't want to go to the live sleep-deprived, so I can't do it.

It's 203, not 303. >204 It's sunny. You should bring something to throw over your shoulders, just in case.

The people at the very front are scalpers.

>207 Thanks＼(^o^)／

>206 There were lots of people in Tokyo who didn't buy the kaleidoscope even from the front rows! Not everyone will buy one, so you should line up if you can. Still, they should've made it an FC-exclusive item〜 The watch is one thing, but this one is ridiculousｗ

Exactly. They had the FC merch on display in Tokyo, but it was small and didn't make me want to buy it. If the kaleidoscope had been FC-exclusive, I would've bought it. Well, the Premium Box will probably be expensive too, so I'll save my money for that. It's been ages since I rode a Shinkansen. The station bento looks delicious.

Songs to be performed today (in Japanese alphabetical order): I can't take… Yellow Moon Elysium Endless Desire? Kagami ni Mita Yume Kimi no Omoi Egaita Yume Atsumeru HEAVEN Kyou to Ashita to Koyoi Eden no Katasumi de Saigo no Ritou The Crack-up Shiroi Sora Spiral Seijaku no concerto doubt Tsumetai Kage Nogareru no Machi?? Hachigatsu no Yoru Haru Matsu Hana no Youni Hare-dokei Himawari no Iro P.S GIRL Fall in Life 〜Hallelujah〜 Flower Blue Regret whiteout? Mikansei na Neiro Yume・Hanabi Lonely Night

Doesn't the entrance to Grand Cube stay closed until 9? Won't the security guards yell at people lining up outside?

>210 I'm in line, but I'm not expecting much. Maybe they didn't think it would sell out this quickly. The watch has signatures and is practical, so I think it's good in its own way.

I'll eat lunch, kill time at Yodobashi, grab a light meal, and then go to the live. I'm still agonizing over whether to buy a Nexus 7 3G. >212 You forgot “Last love song.” Start over.

There are so many people waiting outside for them to arrive.

Everyone must be really bored.

The same-day ticket price is ¥7,000. Please note that reservations will close once the limited number is reached, even during the reception period. As for same-day tickets for Sunday, June 9, details will be posted at 11:00 that day on the GARNET CROW official website and the Sound Creator website.

Why not just sell them directly at Grand Cube?

Having to get a same-day ticket for the final show is intense.

I called them “Horie coating,” but if they keep using the Forum and Grand Cube, does that make GARNET a Dojima Roll? It's obviously neither takoyaki nor modern-yaki... ... Waiting outside for them to leave or arrive takes me back. I think I did that for Paul McCartney once—Fukuoka or Tokyo Dome, maybe... I'll sleep at work until around 3, go home, then drive over. My binoculars (for Yuri-masturbation countermeasures; obviously I won't do anything arrestable, for the sake of the future) and ticket are at home. I was going to grab a beer on the way, but I'll save it for tomorrow. My back can't take it at my age, so maybe I'll go in around 5:30 or 5:40.

>214 I prefer impractical things to practical ones. If something is practical, I'll just wear it out...

As expected, I couldn't get one. Everyone near the front of the line bought one. They added the words “wave it together with Nakamura-san” to the merch towel.

>212 Huh? They're doing “Spiral”? I'm going tomorrow. That would make me seriously happy. Even if people call it repetitive, it's still an essential song at a GARNET CROW live.

If those two kids in Terminus T-shirts who cut in after 10 hadn't been there, I could've bought one more.

>223 People who couldn't buy one in Tokyo will line up too, so there's no chance(T_T)

>225 Didn't anyone call them out? Given what the item is, you'd think someone would lose their temper.

>218 It was already overｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ Too fast, I'm dyingｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ...

>228 Did you call exactly at 2?

>229 I called right on the hour, but it was busy. I called back several times and got through around five minutes later, but it was already over.

>218 Coming from Ibaraki, even if I got a same-day ticket I couldn't make it in time...

>223 Did they have plenty of penlights ready?

Maybe I'll buy a towel tomorrow too.

>232 Green is already sold out.

The Mixi crew is preparing a banner in the arched tiered-seating area. Give me a break.

If it isn't in the way or dangerous, there's no reason to stop them.

Wakayama is shaking. Are you crying too...?

It looks like the area around Grand Cube isn't affected by the earthquake.

>235 Those people are planning to hang it down from the second floor.

Should we alert the staff?

I changed my plans after waking up early. I'm driving tomorrow... that way I won't have to drink... After tomorrow's show, I can smoke while soaking in the afterglow—or the despair. My bosses and coworkers even keep tabs on my ID at work, so they're probably worried about whether I'll be okay at work the next day. I'll tell my religious friends I'm going to pray tomorrow night too. (I have absolutely no agency.) ...Anyway, I'm getting off at Tamagawa Station now.

They've got a long rope attached, so they're obviously planning to hang it down!

What floor is everyone buying merch on?

Grand Cube 06-4803-5555 (main line) Someone please call them.

I'm eating three servings of gyoza and a draft beer right now... Under the Loop Line tracks, at Osho. ...I'm guessing the start will be delayed by 20 or 30 minutes...

I'm going tomorrow, but I came today just to buy some merch. Today's member-designed T-shirt is gray. I didn't think I'd wear it much, but I bought it anyway. What color was Tokyo's?

I ended up lining up without buying any merch.

I hope the banner doesn't fall down. It'd be dangerous, and they'd probably have to stop the performance. I don't think it's made that flimsy, though.

Posting for posterity. Today is my first and last time.

I left Osho and I'm at Mister Donut now. Coconut chocolate, an Angel Cream, and iced coffee. ... It's supposed to be a 20-minute walk to the venue, so I'm planning to leave at 5:30. If I end up sprinting to the bathroom during “Spiral,” “MelHaven,” or “STAY,” that's my fate too.

Tomorrow is yellow.

Phew, I'm exhausted... Posting from a hotel near the venue. There are tons of guests who look like GARNET CROW fansｗ Let me complain for a minute. I only have a ticket for tomorrow, but I kept redialing for today's same-day ticket. When I finally got through, they couldn't transfer me to the person in charge, so I had to call back three more times, and then they said it was sold out... I spent 40 minutes redialing and felt like a complete idiot. So it sold out in five minutes...?

Walking along the Okawa from Kamifunatsu Bridge, and Grand Cube has come into view on my right.

This building is way too sturdy to crash into the Okawa... I'm at Grand Cube now.

I do question the people who kept redialing for 40 minutes, though.

People still haven't all made it inside... I'm near the back of the line.

Looks like the show will start late.

>255 Yeahｗ I was redialing out of sheer stubbornnessｗ I forgot my binoculars too, so everything's going horribly. I had to buy another pair at Yodobashi in a hurry. Since I'm posting through the hotel network, my ID might overlap with someone else's, but is it okay so far? It's my first time at Grand Cube, and I didn't expect the hall to be so high up. They had the message cards on display, but I couldn't find mine...

Only about half the audience has made it inside so far.

The show starts at 6, right?

The penlights are sold out. Should I wave a towel instead?

What are all the people who haven't gotten inside doing? Are they using a slow-walk strategy?

The lights just went out.

I remember the sixth-album show at Osaka Koseinenkin Hall—the start was delayed a crazy amount then too.

>246 Tokyo's was white.

I'm screwed!! I still can't think of anything to write on the message card!! Actually, I forgot all about it!!ｗｗ

I called about the same-day ticket for about 30 minutes too... I can't believe it was over in five minutes.

>264 White, huh? Thanks. I wandered around Grand Front Osaka in Umeda on the way back, but it was packed. I ate a late lunch of Indian curry, and it was delicious. Tomorrow I'll buy a T-shirt too, then soak up the afterglow over kushikatsu and beer on the way back...

I meant >265. Even though we had to line up at Grand Cube, it was in the shade, so it wasn't too bad. Tomorrow is the final day, but for a final show everyone was lining up surprisingly calmly and orderly.

I couldn't get a same-day ticket, so I'll watch the AKB electionｗ Sumire Sato is in 52nd place, huh.

Okamocchi's segment is starting now.

>271 The Blue Flower guy?? Is he leaving his phone on the whole time?

Hey, hey, use some common sense〜

Encore soon, maybe?(´・ω・`)

Please play “Yume Mita Atode.”

It's over.

Thanks for the timing report. Was the setlist different from Tokyo?

I only attended Tokyo, so please report what was different from Tokyo.

I wonder if Yurippe managed to hold back her tears.

“Yellow Moon” was ruined because it overlapped with the shadow of the lighting.

>277 The setlist was the same.

Same setlist, huh.

There were sex jokes too.

Three and a half hours. They really went for it.

Yurippe came back out because she changed into the wrong outfit.

Sorry, I'm a newbie, but is there anyone else attending alone who wants to have a drink? I'm at the edge of the smoking area to the left after you exit the venue, with a bottled drink on my knee.

>283 What did they talk about?

They made the unisex joke in Tokyo too. What kind of material did they have today?

The same scalpers from this morning are already lining up again. Give it a restｗ

>287 They got really animated talking about the AKB election.

Looks like the setlist was the same for all three shows.

They didn't play “Spiral”?

When “Nostalgia” started, I got nervous wondering if an earthquake would happen. (Or is the problem that if one did happen, I might finally be at peace...?) Then I noticed there aren't many pillars up to the third floor, and you can see the river clearly through the glass... I'll stop there. Even without “MelHaven,” “Spiral,” or “STAY,” I knew almost 70% of the songs and had a great time. Given today's atmosphere, if everyone around me cries tomorrow, I'll probably get swept up and cry too. Being able to cry is good for your mental health. What's the difference between burning yourself down to ash and boiling over?

You guys, tomorrow is really goodbye. Everything ends tomorrow. For me, all the GIZA artists I loved, starting with Romania Montevideo, will be gone tomorrow.

Since I could only go to Tokyo, I don't think the breakup will feel real until I watch the Osaka final-show DVD.

If they'd broken up at their peak, that would be one thing. It really is a shame, but I don't know...

They probably won't play “Spiral” tomorrow either. Maybe since we got plenty of Mugen Spiral in Tokyo last year, we'll have a quiet goodbye at the end.

But there's still Request Best. It isn't over yet!

I wonder what row C on the first floor is like. It's far away, but will the view be unobstructed?

>290 At a final live this important, I wish they wouldn't get everyone worked up over a topic like that. It might be a little disappointing.

You could really feel that they were trying to make the fans enjoy themselves even a little, so I thought that kind of talk was nice too.

It's election day, so it can't be helped. Apparently Okamochi has four girls he likes, by the way.

The final speech was longer than Tokyo's, right? I feel like I'm going to cry when I hear that tomorrow. It was a shame they only did the curtain bit once, but just when I thought my 13-show streak of matching T-shirts with Yurippe was over, they surprised me by wearing a STAFF T-shirt. I was glad she came back after changing afterward, though.

>303 If you can, please tell us what the final speech was like.

Romania Montevideo has that same “I only know the name” vibe as Rosa Luxemburg, and Hikashu too... Compared to them, GARNET CROW is mainstream. It reminded me of some old anime chart show, maybe Comchat Countdown? Lime-tai's “Rinka,” Milk Tab's “Laika Green,” Melocure's “1st Priority,” and then MelHaven were all in the long-running charts. I'm heading through Utsubo Park now and taking the subway from Hommachi. ...I went to wait outside about ten minutes ago, but I didn't have the nerve to look Yurippe straight in the eye, so I gave up. My battery's about to die, so I'm out.

And it's cute how Yurippe doesn't realize it for a while after coming out, too.

>304 I don't remember the details, but in short: She said thank you to the staff and fans for the past 13 years, and bowed while saying thank you about four times.

Does the early start tomorrow mean they'll play for a long time, or is there something happening afterward?

>308 It's Sunday, so maybe they're just starting early?

I bought Mochi's solo album by mistake thinking it was Mini CROW. It sold out fast.

It ended after three hours today too, so don't get your hopes up for no reason.

They didn't say “Thank you for 13 years” in Tokyo, but they did in Osaka... I dunno, man.

>312 Maybe it's natural since Kansai is home base?

>313 Kansai may be home base, but there are fans all over the country...

The Tokyo show was just a dress rehearsal, after all.

I always thought the Blue Flower guy was just a troll... Sorry.

I don't want them to break up aaaaaaah(´；ω；`)

I'm so glad I managed to buy a same-day ticket. I never thought I could get a third-row seat for 7,000 yen. I'm glad I didn't give up until the end.

All the special shows were in Kansai, after all.

>314 True. I wasn't trying to diss everywhere outside Kansai, but sorry if it rubbed you the wrong way. I originally lived in Shikoku, so I couldn't go to concerts and stuff.

>307 Thanks for the reply. So they didn't say “Thank you for 13 years” in Tokyo, but they did in Osaka. They didn't explicitly say a single word about the breakup in Tokyo either, so maybe they thought that would be a problem.

>321 No, I didn't mean it that way when I wrote it, so I'm the one who should apologize. Going to lives from Shikoku really is rough, huh.

GARNET CROW is the only major artist with Kansai as their home base, after all...

Everyone here, starting with >323, is so kind it makes me want to cry. It's sad to think that the people on this board will gradually disappear along with tomorrow's breakup. This was the only place where we could exchange our unfiltered opinions about GARNET CROW. Thank you all, seriously.

It was the kind of stuff that made you wonder if they read this place too. I thought it was amazing that Nana remembered the order of the early singles.

After the curtain call today, “Hallelujah” was playing as BGM, and the fans sang along together(Ｔ＿Ｔ) I want to do it tomorrow too.

>327 “Sumanee” before that was moving too.

So in the end there was no call-and-response. All talk and no action, you gutless bastards.

I didn't get to buy merch until almost 4 p.m., and Mini CROW vol. 2 wasn't on display, which was disappointing... Did anyone who bought merch earlier happen to see Mini CROW vol. 2?

>329 They said in >163 that they're only doing it on the final dayｗ

Yurippe didn't cry. I thought she might cry during “Yume Mita Atode” like at that one live.

GARNET... will be gone in less than 24 hours(´；ω；｀)

>330 I packed up around 2 p.m., but I think they still had all the Mini CROW releases.

I don't really get why Calesco is so popular. Sure, it's handmade, but it wasn't made by the members themselves, and isn't it just got the GC logo on it?

>325 I ain't ever listening to this GARNET CROW crap again. I don't wanna talk to you guys either. I'm saying goodbye to this thread tomorrow.

Eight-O-Oh｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

I think they'll play “Spiral” right at the very end.

>333 。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

>336 You're really kind.(ﾉд-｡) 336 is starting to look seriously cool to me.

I don't really get what you mean by saying you can't attend concerts because you live in Shikoku. What happened?

>340 LOL. I was too busy looking for my own post to notice.

>342 Partly because I was a student, but when I considered travel and lodging costs and all that, I couldn't attend concerts. I wasn't trying to say “Shikoku resident = unable to attend concerts.” Sorry, I guess I phrased it badly.

The day GARNET CROW breaks up is here.・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。 My 13-year dream will be over in one more day...

They have to cross a bridge to come to Shikoku, so unless they're a pretty major artist, they won't come here. It takes time and money to go see them yourself too, so it's difficult in all sorts of ways. I used to live in Shikoku too.

>344 No, sorry. If you were a student, I guess it couldn't be helped. But there were people who worked part-time to save money, took an early-morning bus to Osaka and arrived in the evening, then took an overnight bus home after the live.

There'll be a major announcement from GARNET CROW at today's live. Yu: “We're going to quit... quitting after today's live.”

>346 I'm glad you could relate. >347 No, no, I'm sorry too for wording it so confusingly. Still, that person is amazing. Now I kind of wish I'd tried that hard too.

>334 This is 330. Thanks. I'm traveling in from out of town, so I'll try the merch booth again before heading home tomorrow. There were some other things I couldn't buy either.

So they're breaking up today...

>345 What am I going to be like after I wake up from this dream?

I wonder if they'll announce what each of them plans to do from here on out.

That person in the front row on the right, who looks like a Nana superfan, was at it again. Please behave tomorrow. And members, please completely ignore him like they did in Tokyo.

>346 If you're going from Matsuyama to Osaka without staying overnight, you're forced to take a bus. The last JR train is around 9 p.m. I've gone for Niwaji, in 2008, and tomorrow will be my third time. It costs money, but it's not impossible to attend.

I only liked GARNET CROW's music; I have no interest in what each member does afterward.

>354 Why are weirdos always in the front?

Because they're hardcore fans.

When all's said and done, we never did find out whether Ms. Yuri was a virgin...

>359 Maybe we'll find out tomorrow. The breakup announcement in March was a surprise, so hopefully tomorrow will have some nice surprise too. Anyway, good night(*'-')ﾉ~｡.*･ﾟ Gotta get ready for tomorrow.

>353 I feel a little relieved because Furui said he'd continue working in the music industry.

>357 Maybe it's because there are more staff members up front?

>359 If she were in her early twenties when she debuted, maybe, but there's no way she's still a virgin. Some women are afraid of sex, though... Even if she gets married or has kids, I wish she'd sing for us again...

Some men are afraid of sex too.

I'm listening to my singles playlist for the first time in a while, and yeah, the early stuff was on another level. “Kimi no Uchi ni Tsuku Made Zutto Hashitte Yuku,” “Natsu no Maboroshi,” “flying,” “call my name,” “My Dearest” — those are definitely making the all-star lineup.

I only just found out they're breaking up... No chance there'll be same-day tickets tomorrow, huh.

>362 When did he say that?

I miss the days when we used to post stuff like, “When's the new song coming out?”

They're breaking up today. I've followed them ever since I heard “flying” in Eternia. They never got their moment in the sun... I wish they'd gotten to perform on Kohaku at least once. If you can go to the live, enjoy it for me.

>367 There were some today, so maybe there'll be some tomorrow too.

>352 Don't worry. There's just a reality without GARNET CROW waiting for you...

Schedule for 6/8 18:19　　Show starts 20:27　　Main set ends 21:05　　Encore ends 21:20　　Double encore ends

>372 That reality is exactly what isn't okay＞＜

It's all over today... The last time an artist I liked broke up was SIAM SHADE. I know there's nothing we can do about no more CD releases, but couldn't they do a live every once in a while? SIAM SHADE still got the members together for lives whenever something came up after they broke up.

I'm glad I got to hear “call my name.” I'm so happy I could go today and be a GARNET CROW fan.

>318 Can I ask you a few things about the ticket pickup? What hours was it available? Was payment cash only? And what personal information did you need to provide to pick it up? Thanks in advance.

I'm such a chicken that I couldn't talk to anyone, so I was all aloneｗｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ I could cry.

The breakup is finally here, so I came to check out the thread. Thank you, GARNET CROW. I'll keep listening to you forever.

Suspicious? That's right, it's me—

>377 That's way too suspiciousｗｗｗｗｗ

The setlist was the same, but it was so much better than Tokyo. Can it really change that much just because of one last sentence... So it's all ending tomorrow...

>383 How was it different from Tokyo?

I loved the “Yellow Moon” staging, so it was a shame that a shadow from the lights or something above was covering the moon. I think it looked something like this: http://i.imgur.com/cNubYpd.jpg

>378 Are you the person from >286? If I'd been there, I probably would've talked to you. What a shame. I would've been alone too, and I went home from Tokyo alone and lonely.

Before “Yume Mita Atode,” she had an MC about Tokyo, then said it was the number-one song she made right after joining GARNET, and that this was goodbye. There was also an MC thanking everyone for giving them such a glorious stage to close out 13 years. Maybe because of the start time, Tokyo rushed through this part... It was understandable in a way, but it really stood out since they weren't trying to make us cry.

>386 Sorry, I'm not >286. I was just watching from a distance, wondering why everyone was exchanging souvenirs and stuff.

>286 If you'd posted a little earlier, I would've invited you... I spent the trip home hopping between two bars where even someone with a low tolerance like me could drink alone, while wondering whether to say “Thank you for 13 years” or “Thank you for saving me when things were hard.” I thought she sounded like she was struggling on songs like “Natsu no Maboroshi,” but then I thought “Lonely Light” was incredibly polished. I was happy to hear “closer” live, and thought that one was still amazingly polished even with her current voice. Mocchi's “More Than a Thousand” unexpectedly reminded me of an old DVD and almost made me cry.

>372 Just like “Yume Mita Atode”...

>388 I see. After 13 years, I guess a sort of community has formed, and it's pretty noticeable at lives and stuff. There was nobody around me who liked GARNET, so I've always gone alone, occasionally attending concerts. I figured it was probably not a good idea to approach people or groups by myself, but now that they're breaking up, I really do want to talk with other GARNET fans at least once.

>391 We've still got one more day, so let's chat here at our leisure.

>387 Yeah, it was like that. I feel like crying just reading it. I think my tear ducts are going to completely give out tomorrow. I haven't cried in front of people in decades. And in front of people I love, no less...

The staff's directions for merch this time were pretty bad. There weren't any clear signs either, so lots of people went straight to the fifth floor. Unless you're used to lives, you couldn't even tell there was a merch line. They need to do something about it tomorrow.

>392 Of course that's the plan, but I really do want to talk face-to-face too.

>388,391 Twitter. Lots of GARNET CROW fans connect with each other on Twitter. They use it to meet up at the venue before and after shows, exchange local souvenirs, and basically have little offline meetups. Make a GARNET CROW account on Twitter, follow a ton of GARNET fans, and get yourself into the circle. Though it might be too late now.

I only went to the Tokyo showｗ During the encore, Yurippe came back out gasping for breath, and they went straight into “Yume Mita Atode.” I couldn't help thinking that instead of putting “Yume Mita Atode” after she'd used up all her energy, they should've put it somewhere around the middle.

>395 I felt the same way, and the woman next to me happened to be alone, so I tried talking to her. She gave off this “What does this guy want? Don't talk to me” vibe＞＜

Who would be happy to get approached by a gross otakuｗ

>316... I hope you get it, though. “Aoi Hana” is a tough one... Is it more like a novel? Or a key? Maybe it's a cipher meant to sort people into groups, and it really tickles the science-geek part of my brain. ...And when the opening of MelHaven comes in right at karaoke, if you nail it, it's such a moving song... Can you tell what kind of band they are from that one song? For me, songs like “Laika Green,” “Fifネルの宇宙服,” and “Suichu Megane” have a kind of pull. From when Minako passed away until I went to Q's Mall, I was worried that showing up with that gloomy aura would burden the band. As a buffer, I went once each to see Seiko Matsuda, Hiromi Hirose, Ringo Sheena, Crazy Ken Band, Nana Mizuki, and Akihiro Miwa (who saved me spiritually), over the course of five or six years, I think. Since Koyama Kimiko was the counter, after that I stopped going to voice-actor stuff and Western music, except for... ...I knew “Yume Mita Atode,” but had no idea it was connected to Conan. That was during my Akiba phase. ... ...If I'd gotten into GARNET earlier, would they have broken up earlier too? As GARNET weakened, did I slip in as some evil or wandering spirit? Maybe it's the kind of connection where you can only meet during that particular period. I think I should be grateful I got to see them even a few times. Does doting on someone crush both them and yourself? Is it just losing your balance, or proof of weakness?

But yeah, that post is suspicious as hellｗ I was just thinking that maybe, with help from some friends, I could somehow get one...

The previous thread said Komatsu Miho was playing strings, but it wasn't Miho Komatsu after all?

Come to think of it, the pamphlet lists five string players, but only four came out. Maybe today's arrangement will be a little different.

About adding calls during “Yume Mita Atode”: We've decided to standardize on “Yo!” Only between the B section and the chorus will it be drawn out as “Yooo!” Even the people objecting now will surely agree once they actually hear the calls. The only way this plan can fail is if they don't sing “Yume Mita Atode.” This is a live, not a concert. Let's add our calls and cheer GARNET on.

Is the sound at their lives always like that? Some songs were so loud my ears were ringing. The fans ranged widely in age and gender. If anything, there were a lot of people with a pretty low-key vibe.

>399 I think it'd be safer to talk to a lone guy.

>403 But what would be the point of posting it anyway? Even if there are tickets today, they'll sell out instantly. Looking at yesterday's phone number, it was the main line, and when I called a little earlier it was busy, so maybe someone got in early and grabbed one...

>409 I started dialing 15 seconds before the time signal and got one.

Same setlist plus “Spiral” today, maybe?

At Grand Cube, though... “Spiral” probably won't happen. Apparently it became an issue during the 2010 Best Tour, and they didn't do it the next time they played Grand Cube either (the last song that time was “Koyoi Eden”). Personally, I'd love for them to do it if possible... but it's a no-jumping venue because there's a hospital or something nearby. Well, not jumping should be fineｗｗ

The entrance says “No jumping,” so GARNET aren't going to do something that violates the hall rules at the very end, right? Well, guess I'll head out soon.

I don't really want the very last song to be “Yume Mita Atode” and end on such a somber note. At least swap it with “Eden” or “Hallelujah.”

It's triple curtain call today.・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

Will tonight be the last time I get to see the woman I fell for...?

Today's key points: Yurippe's family will be there Yurippe's tears Camera filming Something like that, I guess.

GARNET... will be gone in less than 12 hours(´；ω；｀)

Ending with “Hallelujah” is the best. No arguments.

I'm in row A, so I'm worried whether I'll show up on camera.

I thought we'd meet again someday, just a short farewell... Let me go back to 6/9, when I rushed out on impulse. I couldn't even say goodbye...(´；ω；｀)

Are you bragging?!

I couldn't even see GARNET off in happiness. Even as they wither away, time keeps flowing — a dream seen in the mirror...(´；ω；｀)

Grand Cube does camera checks, so be careful.

I wonder if the Green Lights will sell out again today.

There were staff with audio pickup mics all over the place checking for violators.

Think she'll make another sex joke today? If it makes the DVD, I want to loop-play the bit between those two points and jerk off to it.

Sunday, June 9 — GARNET CROW livescope ~THE FINAL~ Grand Cube Osaka show Additional seats now available due to the release of equipment seats! Because equipment seats have been opened up, a limited number of same-day tickets will be available by reservation. Call the venue at 06-4803-5555 between 12:00 and 13:00 today, Sunday, June 9. Same-day tickets cost 7,000 yen. Please note that reservations will close once the capacity is reached, even within the reception hours.

Five minutes to go.

I want a same-day ticket, but even if I got one, I live too far away to make it before the show starts.

On my way out yesterday, near the exit, there was a girl holding a sign saying “Please sell me your 6/9 ticket.” I wonder if she managed to get one...

I wonder how many equipment seats there were. Good for the people who managed to snag tickets at the very end.

>407 Aside from Mini CROW, acoustic songs, and the string parts, the sound is always loud as hell. People here regularly argue over whether they're in the “the drums are too loud” camp or the “that's normal for a live” camp. But yesterday felt especially loud. My ears felt weird for a while after leaving the venue.

It's been about three months since they announced the breakup, right? Even when you have more time than you'd expect, the actual day still makes you feel lonely...

We can watch today's show on WOWOW next month, so I'm looking forward to it.

The wallets and tote bags are sold out. There are still piles of towels and pamphlets.

I read the breakup explanation in the pamphlet. ...A lot of people start a band thinking about this kind of thing. It's an ideal, right? Normally it's impossible. But maybe they could do it because they're a creator collective? If even a tiny part of the lyrics, music, or arrangements had been outsourced... Was my feeling about GARNET a Bible? An ideal community, paradise, Eden? ...I guess I was right. (I have the destroyer gene.) They had the ability to keep going on autopilot for as long as they wanted. Normally, even if Yurippe thought that way, if they'd been more major and sold more, there would've been responsibility toward all the people making a living off GARNET. Even if Yurippe said she'd given everything she had, the agency might've said, in extreme terms, “Keep the band going on autopilot for another two or three years.” Being creators — with lyrics, music, and arrangements completed within the band — means “make money with eight-person Yes, then do what we want in Earthwork (GARNET).” (Sorry for using a Western prog-rock analogy.)

After reading the pamphlet, there's no doubt Yurippe's strict perfectionism was the reason for the breakup. What an admirable craftswoman(^^) I'm looking forward to seeing Yurippe enter a new frontier.

I really don't want “Yume Mita Atode” to be the last song. I hate ending on that kind of “please cry” note.

>433 Come to think of it, are these “equipment seats” really equipment seats?

>442 Maybe seats for people involved who couldn't make it?

>432 I don't know if it's the same person from yesterday, but there is a guy standing around 10 o'clock holding a sign.

>442 It's my first time at Grand Cube, so I don't knowｗ >437 I'm glad I bought the tote yesterday. I'm still using the 2008 eco-bag, and I think I'll get plenty of use out of this one too.

The wallets sold out early yesterday too. Maybe Nana's “It's merch!!!” in Tokyo did the trickｗ

If you think GARNET's lives are loud, you'd get blown away at a metal showｗ

>442 I think they're canceled seats. The seat I reserved yesterday was near the center of row Ag, and it didn't seem like an equipment area.

I couldn't get a ticket today, so everyone who's going, have fun~ There was a song where you wave towels, so you might want to wear one around your neck. (Why didn't they start doing towel-waving ages ago...?) >441 It's not about wanting to make people cry; it's their most important song, so they want us to hear it at the end. Since it's the last one, letting them play the songs they want to play is best.

I wish they'd come to Hokkaido one last time tooー Everyone going today, have fun.

>447 I'd only ever been to lives at huge venues like domes and stadiums, or at live houses, so the first time I went into JCB for GARNET CROW, I was shocked by how insanely clear the sound was.

The “eight-person Yes” work: Conan and other tie-ins, jobs commissioned from outside, providing lyrics, music, and arrangements for other musicians, supporting Mai Kuraki, maybe work connected to Being or GIZA, mentoring younger bands and musicians, and so on. They did all those jobs properly and made their contribution, so maybe the agency allowed them to make that decision. (Was the decision within the band Yurippe's?) Normally, if a band broke up for an idealistic reason like “Aoi Hana,” some agencies would say, “You call that a mouth?” GARNET were proof that they weren't just entertainers inside Being. In the end, GARNET were able to give a breakup reason people would envy... Plus, maybe she sensed the fans changing, wanted to raise children, or wanted to get married and move to a southern island? Starting with ideals and ending with ideals. I shouldn't say this, but like the elderly Mr. Miura who climbed Everest, it feels less like luck and more like something genetic, or a virtue carried over from a past life — beyond what effort alone can explain. Being able to keep working hard is an incredible talent. ...Like Yaeko Niijima saying, “What can't be done can't be done,” while deep down thinking, “If you do it, it'll happen.” ...People whose lives are already marked yes or no can't live normally without relying on religion or something. I'm experiencing the opium side of religion firsthand too, but... Am I looking forward to smoking after the live today? Or what...? I'm still at home, wondering whether to buy a glow stick at Tokyu Hands, and whether I need to bring a Yunker too. Apparently there'll be filming at the finale. The camera checks were pretty lax yesterday, but anyway, that's it.

I won a signed shikishiーーー!

I love “Love Lone Star” way too much. I really wanted to hear it live at least once.

>453 Congrats!

>451 I'm glad I got to hear “Holy Ground” live at JCB. It moved me to tears.

Cheap tears.

>448 Yeah, that's what I thought too. Though I guess some of them really could be equipment seats. Everyone going today, have fun~

Probably seats left over after the equipment was installed, plus seats that got canceled.

>456 You wouldn't understand that unless you were there. At first I was like, “The drums are too loud”ｗ So today's member T-shirts really were yellow.

Have the time of your lives, everyone. If you can, please post a report too.

There was a little girl practicing the WISH choreography with her mom, saying “fist-open, fist-open” as she did it. It was so wholesome.

Are you inside already?

>464 I'm in. Row Ac is the very front row.

Okamon's mirrors are sold out too. Looks like there are still parasols.

There was an incredibly cute girl at the venue yesterday. Maybe that was Saki Fujita.

>461 I'm also a B'z fan, so when it comes to the drums I was like, ┌(┌^o^)┐<Kyaa! Kurosé-san! He was B'z's drummer from 1998 to 2001.

I'm at Tokyu Hands in Shinsaibashi. I'm running late.

Speaking of the unisex comment, she said that on All Night Nippon too.

I bought one red and one blue snap glow stick. I'm driving to Hommachi now. The first song will probably be “Rhythm,” right? They'll probably start about 20 minutes late again today.

Does anyone actually bring their own glow sticks in?

Here we go. I'm off.

I'm here. Unlike yesterday, there's no line. Did it start right on time?

I'm off to witness the end of GARNET CROW( ^_^)/~~~ What will the world be like after the dream of 13 years ends...?

Has it started?

I hope it becomes the greatest live ever...

GARNET CROW's dream theater

>472 Not a glow stick, but there was an old guy yesterday carrying a stick-shaped light that changed into all sorts of colors.

0190

Ahhh, I seriously wish the members would announce that they're marrying each other.

Snake here. Ten minutes ago: “Spiral” → “Today's You and Waiting for Tomorrow.”

>483 “Snake here” (smug face), my ass. Turn your phone off, asshole.

This is the very end. Why can't you people focus?

“Asshole,” my assｗ You're just a loser who can only act tough onlineｗ

>482 Totally off-topic, but your ID 0w0 ↑ is Ondulｗ

Did they change the setlist...?

I don't think they've ever had the same setlist two days in a row before. Assuming a setlist change was expected, the question is how many songs they played.

>484 Loser.

Apparently it's already over. That was fast.

There's an Oricon article thread up on the entertainment board.

It's over. Same setlist.

Good work, everyone.

At the end, Yurippe dropped a bombshell and said, “Thank you for these 15 years.” After what happened yesterday, what the hell is going on?

Thaaaaank youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The STAFF T-shirt incident was adorable.

Fifteen yearsｗ Wait, is it really over already? Wasn't that fast?

At 7:14, the dream ended.・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

Good work, everyoneー The ending got me a little misty, but after the “15th anniversary” comment and singing with everyone once the curtain came down, it felt like we got a nice clean finish.

What did everyone sing?

There wasn't some kind of announcement? What a low-key ending.

When it turned into “life goes on!”, the singing got quieter and I cracked up.

The entertainment board is at it again, talking as if they were forced to break up because they never sold.

>502 The singalong to “Smiley” and “Hallelujah” was more moving than the live itself(>_<)

>502 “Sumanee” and “Eden.” The members even struck poses on the stairs set onstage.

So in the end Furui never took off his sunglasses.

>506 >507 “Sumanee,” “Eden,” and “Hallelujah”? People were saying dumb stuff about calls, but a singalong after the show sounds fun. Was the last song “Yume Mita Atode” after all? Good work to everyone who attended!

A singalong with none of the members thereｗｗｗ

Good thing we couldn't hear those calls. I hate banners and stuff, but looking back, I'm glad they did the final banner.

I'm glad the message I dropped off at the CD store was actually put up（＾ω＾） I was worried I wouldn't be able to find it among the huge number of messages, but that worry was for nothing.

So there were no calls after all. Thank god.

>510 If they had been there, it would've just been a nuisance anyway.

Did yesterday and today feel like they had a high proportion of early songs too? Tokyo as well...? More than that, maybe it's just that GARNET fans have an absurdly high normie rate for their generation. Should this persistent middle-aged loser from Osaka leave now...? The fans were straightforward too... I'm glad it ended safely with nothing happening. I did write ominous stuff about accidents happening, after all. Maybe the staff picked up on it and replied with “doting” or something? Was not getting to hear “Spiral,” “STAY,” or “MelHaven” some kind of bad-luck cleansing? Or are people going to tell me to think about those who died without getting to see them? Anyway, between staring through binoculars too much since yesterday, lack of sleep, and reading the pamphlet, my neck is killing me right now. It's bad enough that driving is dangerous, so I can't even think about anything else. Being or GIZA? They really don't let private matters leak, like whether Yurippe is getting married... Work tomorrow should be okay. I still have some Peace cigarettes, but I might be able to get through it without smoking. ...Yeah, when I went to see the Stones, I was also thinking, “There is no way they're doing 'She's the Rainbow.'” And I went all the way to Tokyo for the Green Green event live because I wanted to hear Milk Tab's “Laika Green,” only to be turned away because there were no same-day tickets. So even if this is how GARNET ends... I guess I'm just unlucky.

>505 The entertainment board is full of genuine scumbags, so what can you do?

Someone above said they played “Spiral,” but was the setlist the same as before?

They played “Spiral.”

>511,513 The calls are just something one obsessive guy keeps talking about here. There isn't a single person saying that on GARNET Twitterｗ He even showed up on the Nico Live the other day. When “Yume Mita Atode” played, he kept commenting “Ayoisho!” and “One more!” and I almost completely lost it.

>520 I see. Thanks for the report.

>505 It is what it is, since it's true. What else could there be? They broke up because they didn't get along? Isn't that something you guys don't want to hear either?

>522 Entertainment-board people, get out of here.

Before the live started, I was completely consumed by the frustration of not being able to go, but now I feel incredibly refreshed. Good work, everyone. If you came from far away, enjoy Osaka before you head home.

The setlist was the same. The poses were an Ikeda gag and a “Gets!” gag. I wonder what they'll do about the two “15 years” comments at the end on the DVD. I hope they include everything without cutting it.

I'm already on the train home. I wonder if the early start was ultimately for the fans who came from far away.

Thank you, truly, for 13 years.

The Lonely Lights swaying during “Yume Mita Atode” were beautiful.

But if GARNET had sold like crazy, maybe the stress would've caused an accident or illness around their fifth or sixth year, leading to a hiatus, a split, or an earlier breakup. They were “delicate,” after all... You shouldn't play the what-if game, but maybe the members' guardian spirits gave them this kind of ending.

>526 Good work at the live. I'm guessing the early start was because the people involved were having an after-party, but who knows.

I'm really glad there were no calls.

>523 It has nothing to do with being from the entertainment board. Quit complaining and answer the question. Are you incapable of conversation? You don't like them breaking up because sales were bad, and you don't like them breaking up because they didn't get along. So what the hell is it, then???

It's old news, but they really did break up... I'll buy the last live if it gets released on video. Thanks for everything.

ID:LfYsQC+i0

>532 I want it to be the nice, clean reason that they accomplished everything they wanted to do. It'd hurt if the reason was that they never sold until the end.

When lots of people come from far away for a two-day run, the equipment is already set up, so they often start early. Apparently Tohoshinki started at 4 p.m. too.

“They gave it everything they had” is good enough as the reason for the breakup(´・ω・｀) The idea that there must be some different truth is just low-class speculation.

I think I'll still be listening to their third album ten years from now.

There's nothing low-class about it. There's no way a band can break up after giving it everything they had. B'z are clearly out of ideas, but they're still being made to continue. Use your common sense. The professional world runs on business, period. Unless you're worthless to them financially, you can't just break up without any penalties.

For some reason I couldn't see the members clearly during “Yume Mita Atode,” like they were behind a haze, so I'll have to check Yurippe's expression on the DVD later.

Someone please post a report.

Unlike GARNET, B'z are well-known and sell plenty of records.

So what was the deal with Miho Komatsu in the pamphlet, anyway?

Is this the last GARNET thread on this board too?

From a distance, Yurippe's makeup looked pretty natural.

If G-NET prints “Thank you for 15 years” exactly as-is in the fan-club newsletter, they'll be gods.

After standing for a three-hour show, I had to stand at the kushikatsu place tooｗ Aside from the final singalong and stuff, it mostly felt like one of their usual lives. Grand Cube bans jumping, but there were still a few people bouncing around. Ah, I'm never going to be able to go to this kind of usual live again.

There was AKB talk today too. And no sex jokes(´;ω;｀)

>544 Yeah, what was that about? It made me want to listen to her again, so I bought the first, second, and best albums on Amazon. I also bought one GARNET DVD while I was at it. Looking back, I probably should've bought it at the merch booth.

>548 Are there really no other restaurantsｗ

Thanks for everything, GARNET CROW. That means all the GIZA artists I liked are completely gone now.

I was hoping for “Spiral” too, but thinking about it, there wasn't really anywhere to put it. It could only have gone at the end of the encore or double encore, but at this point I can't imagine anything there except “Hallelujah” and “Yume Mita Atode.” Whether it's the 15th anniversary or the 20th, I'll be waiting for the day we meet again with a smile.

>552 I listened to nothing but GIZA for a while too, but I guess this is goodbye. If GIZA disappears, I wish they'd gather everyone who loved GIZA Music and start a new company.

If I could, I'd go back to December 4, 1999. That was the release date of their indie album. It'd be amazing if I could start supporting GARNET from there. I've been a fan since 2007 and stuck with GARNET all this time, but I wish I'd gotten to experience their early lives too.

>551 There are, but whenever I come to Osaka, getting a drink at a kushikatsu place in Umeda before heading home has become a traditionｗ Though it was almost closing time, so lots of menu items were sold outｗ Oh, and apparently when they played Nagoya, Kurosé and Ohashi didn't like the miso-katsu bento. They said it was too sweet.

For a final live, it felt kind of underwhelming. The setlist felt like they only played what they themselves wanted to play.

It's on Yahoo's front page now.

The staff blog is still abandoned. I'd like to take over and do it myself.

They released albums for 13 years with barely any promotion. There are plenty of singers who, even with name recognition, can barely sell 3,000 copies, so GARNET did pretty well. Good work. Thanks for everything. I'll keep listening to their songs.

I don't think there'll be any J-pop I'll get into for a while. Maybe I'll support that NMB girl who says she's a GARNET fan. She's cuteｗ

There are a few fellow fans from today's live scattered around Osaka Station. Like Yurippe said, even after the breakup, the music remains.

>558 If you look closely, it turns into Okamocchi talking to himself halfway through.

GARNET CROW is what made me a GIZA fan, around 2002, I think. I was in middle school then, and it also had a lot to do with getting my first girlfriend, who was a Mai Kuraki fan... With GARNET CROW breaking up, it feels like my youth is ending tooｗ

Only the lives and new songs are going away. Nothing else changes. GARNET may break up, but GARNET's songs aren't breaking up.

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20130607-00000351-oric-ent > During the MC toward the end of the live, they mentioned that the popular idol group AKB48 held its fifth senbatsu election on the 8th: “Okamocchi (Hitoshi Okamoto, G) said, 'They scheduled the election to coincide with our live.'” Okamoto replied, “They really did schedule it right against us! Well, actually it has nothing to do with usｗ” His usual lively banter got the audience laughing. Mocchi talking to himself is killing meｗ

Reading it more carefully, it wasn't him talking to himself... Orz

>568 I skipped over the quotation marks too.

It feels like a chapter of my own history has ended. I discovered them from a Conan opening in 2000, bought the CD, listened to it, and got unbelievably hooked. They supported me through the most impressionable years of my life. I'm glad I got to stay a fan all this time. It was a long and fulfilling period. Thank you, GARNET CROW.

Yesterday, when someone asked who Okamocchi's favorite member was, he said something about “dual membership,” so we can narrow it down quite a bit.

Are they really over?

Second-floor seats GARNET CROW　　　Thank you Who put up this banner?

>567-568 LOLｗｗ They're really breaking up... I don't have any favorite Japanese artists left, so maybe I'll switch completely to Western music.

They actually wrote all the way through 15 yearsｗ

GARNET CROW Forever!!!!

Is the live over~? Thanks for everything, GARNET CROW. Good work. I'll keep listening to your songs.

Do you need cable TV or a satellite dish to watch WOWOW?

Yurippe: “Since I said 15 years, we're going to keep going for another two!!”

I think I'll watch it at an internet café or somewhere.

I'll probably keep listening to them in the future, like classical music that you can enjoy even without new songs, but it's lonely knowing there won't be any more hype events like: “New album cooooming━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!” followed right away by “Live cooooming━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!” or, as New Year's Eve approaches, “Countdown cooooming━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!”

I bought the shirt, but should I wear it to university...?

Farewell, my youth...

What the hell is wrong with me!! I just found out that GARNET CROW had their breakup live. I've never been to a live, but this would've been the perfect first one in my life. Why didn't anyone (online) tell me? They announced it back in March. And only sixth on Oricon? That's way too surprising. Damn it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo_nKg4aoh4 I wanted to hear “Wasurezakura” live at least once while I was still alive...

>578 You need an environment where you can receive BS, plus a WOWOW subscription. WOWOW costs 2,415 yen a month. The channel is BS channel 9. Tune to channel 9, then use the blue button on the remote for WOWOW Prime, red for WOWOW Live, and green for WOWOW Cinema. GARNET CROW FINAL is on the red WOWOW Live channel.

Let's spam radio and cable stations with GARNET CROW requests from now on.

I was still in middle or high school and didn't have money when the first four albums came out, but whenever I saw their Conan commercials, I'd go buy each one at the CD shop in the nearest shopping center. My little brother liked them too, so we'd often listen together. When I went back to my parents' house recently, my much younger high-school-aged sister dug out the CDs and was listening to them, which made me really happy. I bought the best album afterward too, but for some reason I didn't buy the fifth album, maybe because it felt different. After that, I got satisfied with just listening to bits on YouTube. I'm sure there are plenty of great songs after the fifth, and I do have a few favorites, but to me that first best album is still their real best album.

>585 The breakup announcement got a fair amount of attention. There were multiple threads about it on VIP too. I mean, if they're an artist you like that much, how did you go over three months without checking for any news and leave the best album untouched?

Everyone keeps saying Conan, but as someone who discovered GARNET through MAR, I have complicated feelings.

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20130609-00000069-dal-ent Ebisu Muscats... whyorz

>578 I don't own a TV at all, so I decided to stay at a hotel in Tokyo on July 20. A hotel near my own homeｗ The first-generation Lonely Light I bought for the countdown gets its final grand stage!

I only know “Wasurezakura” and “flying,” but... “Wasurezakura” alone made this singer something completely unique and special to me. That music video is almost too lyrical. I vaguely remembered the melody of “flying,” and when I learned it was by the same group as “Wasurezakura,” I listened to it and ended up loving it so much that I play it while driving almost every day.

>592 You checked whether the hotel can actually receive WOWOW, right...? A surprising number of cheap hotels can't even receive BS.

It feels like an era of my life has ended. When I think about how I won't be traveling for lives anymore or getting excited wondering what the new song will sound like, I start to feel lonely.

Yurippe with light makeup http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/photo/2025398/2/ Live report http://www.news-sb.com/music/34516/

The final singalong was truly wonderful. I almost cried while singing “Eden.” I was already crying over “rhythm,” the very first song.

>594 I checked（＾ω＾） I called the hotels listed on the WOWOW site to confirm. I was surprised that most of the big hotels couldn't receive WOWOW either.

I've known “Kimi to Iu Hikari” since we sang it in elementary-school choir, about ten years now. Thank you, GARNET CROW. Good work. I'll love you forever.

>597 That was the first time the fans, who are usually all over the place, became oneｗ

I was a little disappointed to be in the second-floor seats for the final show, but figured just getting to go was enough. Today the second floor was incredibly lively. The light-waving is usually a little out of sync, which I always thought was kind of GARNET-like, but today it was perfectly coordinated and the sense of unity was amazing! It was nice being able to see the whole crowd from the back. At one point the announcement “This concludes...” started getting quieter, but everyone was singing, so the staff read the room and turned it back upｗ

There'll be a reunion someday in a few years.

>597 I was fine at Tokyo, but yesterday in Osaka the tears suddenly started pouring out during “Rhythm”... >600 Same here. I never got a chance to talk with other fans about what makes GARNET great, which is a little sad.

Hiraga's words in Billboard are making me cry.

I'm home. The first thing that caught my eye was how carefully the stage had been done with the lighting effects. GARNET and Mai Kuraki had both been kind of sloppy about that before. This time the lighting was beautiful and the staging was incredibly detailed. I'm sure part of it was spending more money because it was the final show. And, of course, Yurippe had two NGs in a row. Once would be one thing, but she messed up twice in a row and then sat at the back of the stage hugging her knees. That was hilarious. I really hope they include it on the DVDｗｗ

Thank you, and good work, to everyone in GARNET CROW. I'm drinking and reminiscing, but the gratitude is overwhelmingly stronger than anything else. Of course I'm sad and disappointed too, but it's kind of amazing that they kept making music with the same members for 13 years. My brain isn't working, so I can't really get my thoughts together...

I have to buy up all the newspapers tomorrow. I've set almost every morning TV show to record, but I wonder if they'll cover it this time.

>600,604 Come on over to Twitter!

>608 I updated the listings and searched, but nothing came up. I can only hope it'll get broadcast.

>579 If only that were true. >587 Come to think of it, although this was an FM-sponsored event, FM802 in Osaka weirdly never plays GC. I drive around constantly for work, so I wonder if there are political reasons. They don't play AKB-related stuff either. It's not like they're on bad terms with GIZA, since they play Kuraki and others. >606 They did include the retake at Niwaji too, so I have a feeling they'll include this one.

They weren't the kind of group that could fill the Budokan with a huge crowd, but I think it's incredible that they made songs capable of bringing those thousands of people together. It also made me realize that all of us fans, myself included, really did love their songs.

I'm planning to subscribe to WOWOW just for next month.

I came all the way from Tottori. I headed straight home after the live and just arrived. It feels like going to the live was a dream...

I wish they'd do the Niwaji live one more time...

With so many people unable to get tickets for Grand Cube Osaka, I did wonder if a one-day show at Osaka-jō Hall would've been better. But watching the singalong after the show, I realized this kind of unity is only possible at a venue this size. Sorry I didn't know the lyrics to “life goes on.”

>611 802 seems to be the kind of station that won't play certain types of music. Idol stuff especially. Johnny's too. Though they do play Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, which makes you go, “What!?” They seem to play Being artists, though. At least judging by the songs listed in their playlist.

“Butterfly” was so damn good. What am I supposed to do? I guess all I can do is pray they put it on the DVD.

Good work to everyone who went to the live and everyone who didn't. We'll keep having days where we listen to GARNET's songs tomorrow, the day after, and beyond. That's right, nothing changes.

“Butterfly” should be on the box set, right?

Yurippe was cute up close. The towel Okamocchi threw flew right over my head. I wish they'd release the final on Blu-ray.

>620 There are fans who couldn't go to the live, so I hope they include it. I couldn't go either, so I want to hear it. The breakup... It's been this sad since FIELD OF VIEW. There aren't any Japanese artists left for me to follow.

>608 The morning shows will obviously just cover AKB. The media doesn't care about minor artists like this, anyway. They ignore genuine artists and broadcast AKB or Gōriki instead. It's not that there's anything wrong with AKB; the media is what's ruining the music industry.

>621 It'll probably be a box set like ZARD's. I wonder how much it'll cost. How much was ZARD's?

Maybe Yurippe's 15 years includes the two years before GARNET. Did she spend two years paying her dues?

>625 The 20th-anniversary one? If so, it was ¥26,800.

>625　ZARD's was around 30,000 yen, I think. It seemed to have a lot of albums. >626　I thought that too. Yurippe graduated from vocational school and spent a while training behind the scenes, right? (Singing and songwriting.) She probably remembered that before today's actual show and said 15 years.

Furui said something along those lines, but I couldn't hear it clearly. Something about being in the industry or involved in it for 15 years.

Maybe I'll start Twitter with you...

Typo. I meant, “me too.”

I wonder if the girl by the lockers at Nakanoshima Station managed to get a ticket.

>628 Yurippe went to vocational school? I always thought she graduated from Kwansei Gakuin.

>629 That's what Furui said, but he was probably just smoothing things over. Who knows how many years she actually spent paying her dues.

There are a lot of people talking about themselves in here.

>633 Was it called the GIZA Creator School? I think I heard she graduated from the vocal course.

Made it to my local station in Saitama. Glad I caught the train. Good work, everyone!

Is it true that AZUKI was crying around “call my name” on the final day?

>636 Where did you hear that?

I wanted to see Yurippe in person at least once, Yurippe...(´・ω・`)

Wasn't it OSM?

>638 Seriously? I was too far away to see that clearly. I could see her looking a little serious during the intro, though.

Don't spread false information. You'll just confuse people. Yuroensky screwed up, ran away, blew up the community, then changed his name to Kō-chan. He left the Torea account up, screwed that up too, and quit Torea. Panko Miraculously dodged a forced liquidation just before the stop-loss and is carrying a -1.2 million yen position into next week.

>640 I wonder if it's still there? Come to think of it, what are the other members' educational backgrounds? Everyone knows Mochi graduated from Doshisha, of course.

There was talk nearly ten years ago that Yurippe graduated from a music college... Something about her having a music-teaching license too. It was just an unfounded rumor, though.

Nana went to Osaka Sangyo University.

Sorry to everyone who couldn't go, but I attended all three days! Today's singalong was the best yet. If they'd done “Sky Blue” at the Niwaji live with that kind of energy, it would've been incredible.

>647 So she didn't go to Kyoto University...?

>649 Someone from Kyoto University couldn't have English that bad. I love Nana's lyrics, but even if she's fitting them to the sounds, weird is weird when it comes to the English.

No way.

>650 Back when Kyoto University's science faculty still held second-round exams, the second-stage test only covered math and two science subjects. Apparently a few people with clearly bizarre Japanese skills, let alone English, still got inｗ

Yahoo... > The activities of the four members after the breakup are undecided at this point.

>650 I wonder about Furui. There are stories about the others' student days and private lives, but he seems to be the one we know the least about out of the four.

>642 Osaka School of Music, right? I think that's what I heard. Apparently they have a GARNET CD displayed in the hall at the entrance.

>654 Wasn't it Meiji Gakuin University?

>649 If she really were a Kyoto University student, they would've made a joke about it on “Deep Kitsch,” wouldn't they?

>656 Furui went to Meiji Gakuin too? There are a lot of musicians among Meiji Gakuin alumni, like Thee Michelle Gun Elephant.

Speaking of Meiji Gakuin, there's Tetsuro Oda.

There was a beautiful girl at the final show wearing an outfit similar to Yurippe's “Nostalgia” costume.

I wonder if the WOWOW broadcast uses completely different camera work from the DVD they'll release later.

I don't get what they mean by “after the curtain closed.” They were peeking through the gap right before it closed, though. WOWOW will probably be the same as the DVD.

The guy who took pictures of the banner can go die.

There was a cute girl wearing a rainbow-colored skirt like Yurippe's second outfit, with a pale blue denim shirt. She had a scrunchie and a Terminus wristband on her wrist, and was walking around with a merch tote.

Only now have I learned what a suicidal person's state of mind feels like.

You're only feeling that way now? I feel like I just went through a devastating breakup, and I still have to go to work. The emptiness on the way home yesterday was something else.

Come to think of it, at the June 8 live, Nana made a “Wow, you bounced back fast” quip. That was a refreshing change.

Until we can see what kind of activities they're each going to pursue from here, or what they want to do, it's hard to cheer them on...

“Butterfly Knot” keeps going around and around in my head... They're really gone now...

I wish they'd publish the message cards that were displayed at the entrance somewhere.

Furui, Nana, and Okamocchi will probably follow the same path. The mystery is Yurippe: will she get married and become a relaxed housewife, or go study abroad looking for new stimulation...? I'd be happy if she got a spark for a song again someday and wrote a new one for us~

Yurippe really is a strict perfectionist.

Isn't the next thread going to be on this board?

It should be okay to stay on this board until October.

There was something kind of creepy about this background. http://i.imgur.com/W3glyjB.jpg

I saw the staff quietly preparing the banner after the encore. Too bad for the Mixi crowd. Though seriously, the staff were awesome.

I figured the organizers had prepared that banner. There were no handwritten messages or anything, so it didn't have that amateurish feel. At the merch booth, Nana cut in with, “It's merch!! (`･ω´)”ｗ Before, she was more like, “Uh, the shop? (´･ω･`)”

>675 You mean until the livescope2013 and Final DVDs come out?

Now that GARNET CROW has broken up, I have no Japanese music left to listen to. What are you guys listening to besides GARNET CROW?

>680 Give us the details from Twitter!

>680 That would be nice. >681 The songs haven't “gone away,” you know. I'll keep listening to GARNET, like classical music.

I've tried listening to every album by all sorts of artists to see if any of it would become music I liked, but instead of getting hooked, I just keep getting bored.

Nana changed into a red dress to play along with Furui's “Nana, your table three is calling you” bit. She looked beautiful.

I became a ZARD fan first, then a GARNET CROW fan, and I seem to have gotten addicted to Yurippe's musical style... I can't stop listening.

I only listen to metal, but GARNET CROW is the only gentle/healing music I listen to.

>662-663 I subscribed in March because I wanted the LUNA SEA Budokan show, then they pulled the expanded 3daysmix version in May. This time... well, probably not.

>681 Artists I'm a fan of, or have been listening to a lot lately: B'z, FLOW, Tama, Billy BanBan, and Sachie Hiraga.

If there are 166 songs, I feel like I could listen to them for the rest of my life without getting bored. There are probably even more if you count alternate arrangements. The songs probably won't increase anymore, so I want to make a GARNET-only Walkman. If I put every album and single on it without worrying about duplicates, I wonder how much storage I'd need. I haven't finished collecting the CDs, so if anyone's tried it, let me know.

The Final Live had such a plain setlist that it didn't really feel like the last show. In a way, I'm glad it didn't leave me with regrets so huge I'd be sobbing.

>681 Mostly visual-kei stuff like LUNA SEA, La'cryma Christi, and Matenrō Opera. I also love DEEN and have been listening to them forever. It's amazing that they're still active. GARNET CROW was the Bible of my heart during my school days. It's just too sad.

>691 What kind of setlist would've satisfied you?

>691 Yeah, it was way too plain.

Probably a little over 450 songs if you put every CD on a Walkman without worrying about duplicates. I don't own the early singles, and I have around 400 songs, so that's what I'm basing it on... With that many songs, 4 GB should be plenty.

They're making the final day into a DVD, right? They'll have to replace the audio only for the “15 years” part...

If, because it was the final show, they'd played lots of indie-era songs and fun B-sides, I think I would've been even more hung up on it and the sense of loss would've been awful. Maybe, on the other hand, they were being considerate of the fans' mental health...

My neck hasn't hurt this badly in years, so I took the day off work. I'm in the hospital waiting room now. Is this punishment for posting weird stuff in weird positions these past two days? I did know exactly what I was doing, so praying probably won't help. I've never stared through binoculars that much in my life. “Was it Hyuga Aoi? Sunflower♪ Sunflower~” That was bad. I'm not brave enough, for better or worse. ...No hands needed, like those people who can move their ears. Since I'm awake, it's not laziness. If the target is high quality... ... ... I don't need the binoculars anymore (the 3,980-yen pair I bought with a credit card at the Yamada next to Parks). ...There's no way I'll ever get the chance to check semaphore signals and save a large group of people. They just took five X-rays of my neck.

I've made it safely back to Fukuoka. Thanks, everyone.

If I'd kept staring at Yurippe through binoculars during that song, I probably would've easily come before the song ended, so I put the brakes on my feelings and didn't actually do it. Don't forget that part. I'm a 45-year-old man with common sense. But I'm also a borderline case.

>698 Good work, Blue Flower guyｗ You said you were broke, but you bought binoculars after all. Could you see Yurippe clearly?

Professor Ikeda did way too good a job.

>700 Cuteｗ It's exactly like that.

>699 Good work. Let us know what the Fukuoka newspaper says.

If any of the sports papers ran an article about GARNET CROW's final live, please let us know.

For the DVD, will they include the big singalong during the end credits? I feel like they were filming it.

Was it on the news?

Come to think of it, there were no calls during “Yume Mita Atode.” >705 Unfortunately, apparently today is a newspaper holidayorz

I really can't go to another live ever again...

>706 It was in most of the papers; only one didn't run it. I'd recommend Hochi and Daily, since they had photos. Chunichi wasn't on sale, so I didn't see it. So today was a newspaper holiday, huh.

I see, a newspaper holiday... Thanks a lot.

Yurippe's dance during “Lonely Night” was so cute. I'll never see it live again, will I?

Just thinking about Yurippe saying to the fans near the end, “Take care, everyone~ Bye-bye,” makes me realize how much she cared about her fans. I'll really never see her again, will I? Tears just start rolling down my face.

>702... Mature Yurippe was great. Her mid-twenties face was nice too, but... I got used to the image stabilization pretty quickly. For songs you really sing your heart out on, like “Himawari,” it was worth watching her expressions. I bought a glow stick so I could wave it if they played MelHaven, but I never used it and tossed it aside. ...An X-ray can't show a cervical hernia, so they gave me a week's worth of painkillers, anti-swelling medicine, and patches... I'm relieved for now, but lying down or eating causes intense pain. Is this how people end up bedridden? Once you get old, you really can't push yourself at all...

Where did the information come from that Furui will be joining Kuraki's tour as a band member?

>711�d I was thinking of buying the Sanspo that came up first in the news search results.

>695 Thanks, I'll use that as a reference. Once the request collection, DVD, and box set come out, that'll really be the end... I wonder if there'll be mail-order sales for the live merch.

They were a talented band that kept going for 13 years, so a reunion in five years or something seems possible... Will the members' average age be over 40 by then? I've never cared about their ages, and I'd be overjoyed if they reunited, but maybe their physical stamina will have limits too...

It was only possible in this form because it was Being. But you could also say it broke up in this form because it was Being. It really was a miraculous 13 years, like a dream and an illusion.

>703 Once he started, I couldn't look at anyone but Ikeda-san.

>713 I really think Yurippe is a Showa-era person at heart.

I think their formation was possible because of Being (GIZA?). And the breakup was probably what they said themselves: they'd given everything they had, or simply had nothing left to give. Since they were a band that handled everything from composition through arrangement themselves, I imagine they put very little burden on the agency. Maybe you have to be young to create new things. Einstein and Heisenberg both did their groundbreaking work in their twenties. Schrödinger was unusually late-blooming, though.

Reading the pamphlet, it sounded like they hated being in a state where music wouldn't come out unless they forced it. Speaking of which, I wonder if Yurippe was the one who told the members about the breakup... Okamocchi apparently reacted with, “Ehh?!” when he heard.

I've heard that lyrics and music are created based on everything you've experienced up to that point. Just like everyone has limits, I think they simply ran out of material. That's what you call talent drying up. Creating something from nothing must've been incredibly difficult. >725 I read the pamphlet, and I think Yurippe was the one who brought up breaking up.

At the live where they announced the breakup, the other members were pretty casual, but Mochi seemed really off. By the way, did the members cry on the final day?

>727 I was so devastated then that I didn't look at the members. Mochi was the only one acting like that?

>690 Including duplicates and instrumentals: 52 discs, 434 songs. MP3 at 320 Kbps: 3.49 GB. “Kono Te wo” / “Kaze to...” are both sides. Since iTunes was a pain, I put “Doing” on Type A and only added the instrumental version of “Nora” from B. Includes the theater version of “parallel,” disc 3 of “crest,” and disc 2 of “stay.”

Whether it was voluntary or forced, I guess it's good that they got to end things cleanly. That's what I'll tell myself. Honestly, I still can't accept it because I'd been dreaming of all the possibilities GARNET had left.

>726 Looking back, considering that the newcomer at the time was Yurippe, maybe GARNET CROW only existed because of Yurippe.

>683 But more than diaries from the past, I still want a calendar for the future.

>731 I know absolutely nothing about music production, but GARNET seems to work like Yurippe composes a song and then the other members can start on their parts, so you're not entirely wrong. At the very least, Yurippe makes the original song or concept. She said she couldn't imagine a world without music, and I don't think someone who can compose their own music can really retireｗ I'll patiently wait for her to return to the stageｗ

GARNET CROW = Yurippe compositions are the established formula. They can't exactly change their style and keep going.

Yurippe's final talk was supposed to lead into a solemn “Yume Mita Atode,” but because she accidentally said “15 years,” we got to listen with some laughter mixed in. I think that was a happy accident. Professor Ikeda even got everyone to wave their lights...

I took paid leave today and spent three hours singing GARNET songs at solo karaoke. The live 24 hours ago feels like a dream...

>727 Yurippe was the only one who shouted “Goodbye!” and things like that with real emotion. For the most part, it dragged on and ended in the usual casual way. They ended it laughing.

It was a live where you could feel that they wanted to end happily rather than on a melancholy note. I watched it thinking maybe that was part of their professionalism.

>729 Oh wow, this is a huge help. I don't even know which CDs I own, so I'll make a list and get to work. My red 4 GB Walkman is getting me a little excited.

>713 Yeah, it was definitely a Showa dance. Painful.

>740 It's a box set.

>713 She looked like a rabbit hopping around on the grass, doing that rapid little kick-kick-kick with her hind legs.

Yurippe looked so satisfied after finishing “Yume Mita Atode,” like, “I did it all!” It reminded me of the face I make after masturbating and ejaculating.

GARNET CROW breaking up hurts, but from now on I'll support B'z, Mai Kuraki, BREAKERZ, Shiori Niiyama, and so on.

I have no use for GIZA without GARNET CROW anymore.

I probably won't listen to any Being artists anymore, except maybe B'z.

Hardly any replies now.

>741 It reminded me of doing a similar dance for a school event back when I was a student...

I get the feeling Okamoto might leave the company like Yuichiro Iwai, while the leader and AZUKI already have established positions in-house.

I wish they'd performed Ken Hirai's “POP STAR” with choreography at least once.

>750 I want Okamocchi to cover some GARNET songs too. Could he form a duo with Saki Fujita?

>744 Wasn't it sex?

So there were quite a few B'z listeners in this thread too. They seem like totally opposite kinds of music, but I wonder if there's some common thread.

I don't know if it's true yet, but apparently there's a Twitter rumor that Yurippe will continue producing music. I'd be happy if it were true, but I'd have mixed feelings too...

Don't make me laugh with “the source is Bakatter”ｗ

I'm listening to “Transtrap” right now. Have they ever performed this live?

I'm 35 and I've never had sex...

>755 The question is where that tweet originated.

I checked just now, and not a single morning entertainment show covered it. I wasn't expecting much since they didn't even cover the breakup announcement, but I guess the last terrestrial-TV footage is Okamoto and Nakamura on MUSIC FOCUS around the release of “Memories”；； I'm keeping that footage until my Blu-ray player dies. Apparently around five newspapers in the Kanto edition ran photos. The regional editions had either just text or black-and-white photos. What lousy treatment；；

Would it be a copyright violation if I played “Butterfly Knot” on piano and uploaded it?(´・ω・｀)

>759 I asked for details because it was posted in >680, but nobody replied. It seems weird to start making music immediately after saying they'd given everything they had. There are two hypotheses that could explain it. One is that 680's info was fake, or the original tweet was fake...

Music production isn't only work that appears in public. Anyway, there won't be any band or group activities for the time being. Whether “for the time being” means for now or forever...

Is this the “same hair salon” story?

More importantly, I'm curious about the claim that AZUKI cried during “Call My Name.”

>757 She sang it at a fan-club event.

>762 If you're just playing it by ear, it should be fine, right?

>767 Thanks. I wish I could've heard it...

I think Ms. Yuri was an angel who descended to Earth. Good work.

In the end, I never got to hear “Hare Dokei”... It's way too rare for an A-side single(´；ω；｀)

When a breakup live spans multiple days, bands usually change a few songs or play some rare ones.

>761 Did you check morning shows like Mezamashi TV and Zoom In too?

>724... Schrödinger's wave equation? I used to stare at that formula for ages. The cat in the box is alive or dead? Was that probability theory? Just an anecdote? I flunked out of physics at Kyoto Sangyo University's science faculty back in the day, but while cleaning the house I found a linear algebra textbook on cofactor expansion... I'm interested in too many things. When I was 20, I bought an electric guitar, held a tuning fork in my mouth because I had no amp, and gave up when it didn't resonate. Looking back, I could've taken lessons at the Yamaha near where I bought it... but I hate learning from other people... I bought a keyboard around 27 too, but... In fourth grade, I begged my mother to let me quit swim school. After backstroke came breaststroke, which looked like a sumo split, and everyone was screaming and crying. I thought passing the next-level test would be bad, so I slacked off, and then they dunked me brutally even during backstroke and I swallowed tons of water. I guess that's when it was decided that no matter what field I got a job in, I'd never amount to anything and would just become a slave. That getting promoted only means more responsibility, and all that. I used to think running away whenever things got serious wasn't bad... Is my own curtain call approaching too?

>773 Just AKB everywhere... And yesterday was the last one... I've been listening to GARNET all day today. Only now am I realizing what an amazing group they were. It hurts too much knowing I'll never see them again. I'm so depressed I could die.

>763 Sorry for the late reply, but it's not fake. As >765 said, the person who tweeted goes to the same hair salon as Yurippe (though apparently they haven't actually seen her there), and the salon manager said it. It's been retweeted a lot, and if it were fake, I think Yurippe herself would have reacted somehow.

Nana Nana Nana♥♥♥ About the Over Drive event: Mochi said, “Even when we were traveling by taxi, Conan-kun was still Conan-kun. We never did this,” and gestured like he was taking off the costume. I cracked up. I wish Conan-kun had made a surprise appearanceｗ

>776 I see... Thanks for the info. But now the “Yurippe hasn't given everything she has” theory is coming back again. What do we make of a tweet at this particular timing? It feels like trampling on the kind lie Yurippe told for the fans...

Are there any metalheads who like GARNET CROW?

>775 I see, thanks. I recorded almost every news and information show this morning and evening... Do I have to delete them all? I was so happy that the three-program simultaneous recording feature finally came in handy...

>778 Maybe she'll stop singing herself and focus on composing. That'd be lonely in its own way, though...

>781 I didn't record the evening shows, so I don't know. The only morning show I didn't watch was Mino Monta's (because I couldn't record four shows at once). It was almost all AKB, and there was no sign they'd appear at all. Check the evening ones yourself.

Being completely behind the scenes versus standing at the front must change how you approach production too, right? Something you might think you can't do with your own voice could become an adventure with someone else's voice... I'd be happier if she kept going quietly for a long time like that rather than giving everything up and retiring. Though honestly, I want to hear it in Yurippe's voice.

Maybe she'd have lots of ideas if she stopped restricting herself to GARNET CROW.

Which hair salon? What did the tweet say?

If it's just the song, whether I buy the CD depends on the singer... Watching the way they said goodbye near the end of the live, Yurippe alone seemed like she was going somewhere far away and we'd never see her again. We may get to see the male members again, but Nana will probably just provide lyrics like she did before debut...

We'll probably keep seeing credits like “Lyrics: AZUKI Nana” and “Arrangement: Hiroto Furui.” But it's sad not to see “Composition: Yuri Nakamura.”

>786 Apparently someone who works at a hair salon in Aoyama, Tokyo, is Yurippe's younger sister, and she's helping with music production.

If she's given everything she had as GARNET CROW, she should still be able to write songs for other people behind the scenes. I think that'd be fine too. It'd be even better if she became someone like Aika Ohno.

I didn't know Yurippe had a younger sister... Can people really just blab about something like that?

I've had this vague feeling of unease for ages, and I finally figured it out. If you tack “a light called you” onto the end of any sentence, it sounds cool. Though the theory that it's simply because I especially like the third album is probably more convincing...

If I run into a member in private, is it okay to talk to them?

What >776 and >789 are saying is completely differentｗ

I started Twitter because I wanted some friends, but the vibe is starting to annoy me. If I quit, I won't have anyone to talk to about GARNET, though.

Wasn't it this place? http://www.mapion.co.jp/phonebook/M09001/43210/24330249920/

Yurippe was a former delinquent girl. Source: Bulldog sauce. If it were fake, I think Yurippe herself would've reacted somehow.

Unlike when GIZA had a thriving roster, these days she'd have trouble unless she developed places to provide songs to. Honestly, doing idols could be interesting. Creators in all sorts of styles—metal, electronica, Shibuya-kei, and so on—are being pulled into the idol industry to differentiate themselves. It might be nice to see an idol sold on a GARNET-style sound.

>796 Mochi likes Kumamon... no way!

The 15 years probably means the period since she started working in music, right? I think the “Thank you for 15 years” came out because she's consciously planning to step away from music for a while. Twitter is Rumor-Twitter.

>779 I like somewhat progressive stuff like Angra and Dream Theater. I don't know much about hardcore or obscure bands. I vaguely remember there being talk years ago that a lot of metalheads liked GARNET CROW. Nostalgic...

>802 GARNET CROW does have something in common with prog, right? I bet a lot of GARNET fans like Pink Floyd and Genesis.

I was lucky enough to attend both their first live in 2002 and yesterday's final, the beginning and the end. I was so out of practice that I couldn't quite keep up, though.

>798 What would you say if someone asked, “What exactly is the GARNET sound?”

I'd like to recommend MUSE.

>733 Super late reply, but I remember a comment like that in MFM around the release of Mel HEAVEN. “AZUKI is like, ‘Yeah, sounds good,’ and Okamocchi is like, ‘Yeah, sure, that's fine.’ I'm the one going, ‘What about this? What about that?’ and making a big fussｗ” So Yurippe was probably the one coming up with most of the initial ideas. Back then I was a GARNET newbie, so I just couldn't picture Yurippe making a fussｗ

I like gothic metal and symphonic metal.

>805 A unique vocalist who can sing funeral songs, twin keyboards, and Mochi.

When I was a student, I used to go to Yngwie's lives.

Yesterday's live already feels like it happened ages ago. What an empty feeling. I guess I'll have to become a Saki Fujita fan.

Go with Sumire Sato. I'm going to follow Negoto instead.

Go with Ayaka Yamamoto. Look at her pictures, even if you think I'm trying to fool you.

>801 I think it was Yurippe being kind. After saying “13 years” over and over, making a mistake only at the very end... Maybe she didn't want to leave us in a melancholy mood.

>814 I thought so too. Even the STAFF T-shirt on the first day in Osaka — it's hard to imagine Yurippe, who's always so precise, genuinely making that mistake. She didn't want to end on a gloomy note, so it was nice to feel Yurippe's kindness.

>815 If she didn't want a gloomy ending, she should've played “Spiral.”

>814 No way. She probably just made a normal mistake, or something happened that confused her. I think she was seriously upset about it. The reason I say that is, right after finishing “Yume Mita Atode,” just before the final farewell, she turned toward Okamocchi and said something like, “What do I do?” She was still hung up on it. Okamocchi said something to her too, but... Between that and the day before, it felt like we got to see Yurippe being herself at the very end. I was the one who first posted “15 years” here, and now I regret it because I didn't think about how Yurippe felt. I feel bad. The staff's Twitter also wrote “15 years... 13 years” like it was a joke, so I hope she won't take it too seriously and can laugh it off.

I'll listen to miwa for a while; I happened to like her from the radio. I'll look into Saki Fujita a little too. The second Miho Komatsu album I ordered arrived, and when I checked the arrangements, Furui had done all of them. I'll listen to it properly sometime. It only just hit me that I'll probably listen to GARNET CROW's songs forever without getting tired of them.

I was lucky enough to see the 10th-anniversary live from the center of the very front row at Tokyo International Forum Hall A. I'll definitely remember it for the rest of my life.

There was a man in his sixties who looked exactly like a company executive, but came to the live alone and got totally into it. It warmed my heart. I saw a few people like that, and it made me want to keep listening to GARNET until I'm that age too.

>819 Wait, was that the guy doing otaku dance moves?

>821 I was looking for articles just now, so this roundup is a huge help. Billboard JAPAN had a detailed one too. http://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/12992

Next week I'll forget — sweet snacks, night-market toys, and so on. I wonder if the merch will turn into night-market toys someday too(´;ω;｀)

Watching everyone disappear at the end of the “Gather MelHaven” PV made me start crying...

>826 Just looking at the setlist in that article makes me want to cry too.

It's old news, but AZUKI's lyrics are deep. A lot of them fit my current state of mind perfectly.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21083104

Die, spammer.

>829 Get lost, Nico addict.

Is this another ripple effect of GARNET breaking up? “Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea” sets a new record for the highest box office in the series' history. http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20130610-00000321-oric-ent

If they're releasing a DVD of the last live, I wish they'd release a DVD of the “terminus” where they announced the breakup too.

>774 >I didn't notice because there wasn't one. My ID has probably changed by now, though. I never expected to find someone here who also studied physics. Not at Kyoto Sangyo, though. I'm still doing it. I kept muddling along and somehow became a researcher. I learned Schrödinger's wave equation in my third year of undergrad, but I haven't even looked at it for years. I use wave functions all the time, though, since I work in relativistic physics. I need to do something big soon or I don't think I'll be able to survive in this field. I'm almost 30. People often say you can't do new things as you get older. I used to think I was different, but if that's what happened to Yurippe too, maybe they were right after all.

I'm an electrical engineer, but I took quantum mechanics as a second-year electiveｗ I had some mathematical background, like differential equations, but I couldn't understand the lectures at allｗ I barely got the credits using old exams and the handoutsｗ Apparently some medical schools even offer quantum mechanics for students aiming for the basic sciences.

>834 Good work staying up so late. I guess there are a lot of people in related fields among GARNET fans. You're still young at 30. Let's both keep at it!

Tell me the song title where they do the “Fascination” call.

I'll do my best again today for Ms. Yuri.

I never managed to go to a live, unfortunately, but GARNET CROW's songs saved me countless times. Thank you, truly, for everything.

This thread is only going to keep losing people. Nobody new is going to join, huh.

The sense of loss is awful. Thinking there's basically zero chance I'll ever see Yurippe again is really depressing...

I know... Thinking I'll never see GARNET again makes my chest tighten and hurts. The final live was so good, which makes it even harder knowing I'll never feel that again... I can listen to the CDs, but I'll never again feel the physical force of the members singing and playing live through my whole body... Aaaaaaaaah...

>833 The “terminus” one is in the complete box set.

When did the light choreography for “Lonely Night” change? The moves during the “turn around, keep turning” part were different.

Some people are posting on their blogs about “getting them to reunite!” But right now I think we should be celebrating their graduation more. The members agonized over the decision to break up, and fans shouting “Reunion!” at them in response feels disrespectful to me.

>846 They said themselves that they'd done everything they could. Fans going “reunion, reunion” after that is disrespectful, right?

The last time I saw them live was at the GIZA Valentine concert at Budokan about ten years ago. They were never flashy, but they had this strange quality of being as necessary as air.

Yurippe's last words weren't “Goodbye,” but “Take care.”

>839 Same here. I kept thinking I'd go someday, and before I knew it there was a breakup live. The final live ended before I could get a ticket. I've loved them ever since I heard “Natsu no Maboroshi” in elementary school. I never got to hear “Mikansei na Neiro” live, so it'll remain unfinished forever in my heart.

I first saw Yurippe and Mochi live at Otodama, then made my first visit at Terminus and thought, “Okay, I'm going to attend everything from now on!” Then the breakup came. I guess I was still lucky. You can enjoy the live DVDs quite a bit too, anyway.

I've been a fan for six years, but I wonder how many people here have been fans since their debut.

When they said on the 8th that they were thinking about making STAFF T-shirts, how are they planning to sell them? Is there an event planned? Mail order? A box-set bonus?

>853 I'm curious about turning Okamon into a hoodie too.

Deciding to part, realizing we loved each other, and growing nostalgic. That's all.

Only after losing it do we realize, then miss it again with our selfish hearts.

>845 Really. I started waving side to side, and everyone else was turning theirs... I had no idea.

>857 It changed starting with the Tokyo final. Usually Yurippe leads everyone into the side-to-side wave, but this time she was dancing by herself on the little riser. She was super cute, though. For the vertical wave, Furui didn't lead it at Tokyo either, so at first I didn't know what to do and kept looking behind me, all awkwardｗ I have no idea why they suddenly changed it, but this version fit the song better and was more fun. I wish they'd used it from the start. Even during the opening countdown, it was just a windshield-wiper motion, and I was like, “That's it?” Total letdown.

She's amazing for being cute even at 35. Seriously cute. I really want Yurippe to wear a high-school uniform too.

I thought it would be enough just to listen to the songs, but before I knew it, I came to love all of GARNET CROW.

Are GARNET WORLD and the Forest of GARNET CROW going to close down?

Looking back, maybe GARNET CROW broke up because fans kept shouting “breakup, breakup” everywhere. Apparently 2013 is the year when wishes are most likely to come true, so everyone's wishes became a collective consciousness and, as a result, they broke up. The universe can't hear the word “no.” If you really don't want something, you mustn't let those words form in your mind, but people who like worrying find it easy to imagine them.

Hmm, zero points.

>864 You seem to be trying to dodge it, but you can't dodge the truth.

>860 The person in front of me was waving theirs, so I waved mine too.

Yurippe's “Bye, everyone! Take care!” is still ringing in my ears. It really got me. That definitely wasn't in the script.

Why does it feel this lonely?

I don't need new songs or a reunion, but I do want them to do another live.

Yurippe was circling her hand between dance moves, though.

Time will one day take away everything precious from everyone.

Come on, let's spam radio and cable stations with requests. I can't keep up by myself. Even if we can't support GARNET's activities anymore, we can still support the songs themselves by requesting them!

“Namida no Yesterday” has been playing constantly on cable lately, but it doesn't sound like Yurippe singing. Is it someone's cover?

I'm praying we'll meet again somewhere, someday. Take care.

Do one in Nagoya too.

After Niwaji, I wish they'd done one more outdoor live at a World Heritage site. I can't forget Niwaji... I went in a short-sleeved T-shirt and nearly froze to death, though.

Enough already, I can barely breathe. Do something.

After reading this blog, I can't exactly sit around being sad. http://sundaypicnic.blog68.fc2.com/blog-entry-438.html

>834... Are you actually in the field? Amazing. Back then, in Kansai, other than Kyoto Sangyo, the science faculty options were all national or public universities... It was way beyond my level, so I quit the night-school engineering department (applied chemistry) after one or two years. I just found an old linear algebra textbook from that time and have been solving problems from it for nostalgia and something to do. Partial derivatives, multiple integrals, Taylor expansions, the epsilon-delta method (how is that different from ordinary differentiation?) — I've forgotten all of it. ... ... My job has required no brainpower for 20 years. It's field work where I don't use a PC or even write words, so my brain is empty and conversation doesn't really work. You don't have to reply. I'm basically a humanities guy who reads Newton-level popular science as a hobby.

>876 At the 10th-anniversary Hiroshima MC, I think they said they wanted to do a live at Itsukushima Shrine after Niwaji. I remember the audience reaction being kind of lukewarm.

http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e140216873 This is kind of sad. I can't understand how someone could fail to win it in the lottery and then feel like putting it on Yahoo Auctions.

>872 I'll support that tooー

>880 Was it?... I remember fans waving their lights during “P.S GIRL” afterward, but all I remember is doing the windshield-wiper motion during “Lonely Night.” The DVD isn't out yet, so sorry if I'm remembering wrong.

>874 The melody immediately started playing in my head, and I'm surprised I knew what song it was.

Are we really not getting any comments from the members after the live?

>886 There might be a message for fan-club members in October when the FC closes, but I don't think there'll be anything else.

>882 They might've kept the real one and made a handwritten copy.

Surely they'll at least do a final Gane Radio episode.

I wonder which live DVD is the most popular. I love them all, but is Niwaji the favorite in particular?

That came out as a meaningless sentence because of the typo.

>882 I own one, and I'm going to make it a family heirloom.

Can I send song requests to any radio station?

>882 I feel like they made more signed boards available on the final day than on the other days, but I wonder. I won one too. I'm going to frame it and treasure it.

I wanted to hear “float world” live at least once.

>888 It's nice when you get a signature in person, but when it comes through an auction, even if it's real, it just looks fake.

I rewatched the first live scope DVD. The bonus section is greatｗ I wonder if they'll include footage of preparing for the live on the final-live DVD too...

Hey, surely it'll fade someday, this pain stabbing my chest today. People are creatures who forget; even the sad times will end someday.

Jumping from the second floor Escape from this hell I'm at my limit.

I don't think running away will solve anything. But I can't endure the nightmare that will continue from here.

The lyrics to “Yellow Moon” stab me right in the heart... I found myself feeling deeply that maybe they sang it as a message aimed at the breakup...

So please let me escape. I'll run away and find a place of peace. A place without conflict.

I'm leaving. My resolve will not waver.

I can't cry. Why did I bind myself? I bound myself.

I'm insanely jealous of everyone who went to the first live scope. I became a fan starting with “Suji-gaki Dōri,” so I was a little late...

Why did I keep looking only at the distant future? Why can't I cry? Is it because I'm putting on a brave face?

>906 Wasn't the first live after “Suji-gaki Dōri”??

I wished for other people's happiness while pretending not to see the present.

>902 I thought so too. It made me admire them all over again for staying professional until the very end.

Always, in the present progressive, my thoughts billow in my head like smoke filling the room, without even thinking.

I've been a fan since their debut, but I was a broke student back then and couldn't go to the first live scope. I really regret it. I wish I could send the money I have now back to my past self.

A silent, bitter laugh. There were times I became afraid of myself. So I can't cry.

No, the first CD I bought was “Suji-gaki Dōri.” It was secondhand too, so I don't think I bought it in real time. That one is still my favorite.

The lyrics to “Yellow Moon” stab me right in the heart... I found myself feeling deeply that maybe they sang it as a message aimed at the breakup...

>912 I also moved from Tokyo to Kyoto in 2008, but I was so broke before graduation that I couldn't go to Niwaji in 2007, just before that. It may become one of the biggest regrets of my life.

There are fairies in this forest. Very, very tiny fairies. They have wings on their backs and flap them like butterflies.

This group apparently didn't appear on TV or radio much. Why not? They sold reasonably well, so I don't think it was that they couldn't get on. The fact that terrestrial news didn't even report the breakup — wasn't their promotion just lacking?

>910 I was happy to hear it at the final live because I never expected to...! But then I remembered the lyrics the next second, and got all melancholy... For some reason I posted the same comment twice in >915. Sorry.

>914 I see. The first one I bought was “Suji-gaki Dōri” too. I tried to apply for the first live even though I had no money, but it sold out. Looking back, maybe that was for the best.

Apparently fairies have been rapidly disappearing in recent years. It's because the forest is polluted.

>918 Wikipedia says it was the agency's media control... A strategy of drawing people in through the artists' mystique. But I personally think it's also because the members really didn't want to appear on TV and stuff. When you see them in footage or at lives, they're entertainers technically, but they don't really have that celebrity aura, at least to me. (I like that about them.) They really are craftsmen.

Because humans throw away trash and cut down trees for no reason, and keep destroying nature piece by piece.

>923 That makes sense. I guess that's why I hadn't seen them in nearly ten yearsｗ It sounds like the vocalist is taking a “marriage retirement,” so maybe they'll come back.

The fairy is crying. This forest, once so lively, is now a lonely forest.

The fairy is wishing for the age when the fairies multiply again.

How many of the four will stay with GIZA?

Unable to fly into the sky, still a weak creature, I stayed shut away in a dark room.

Listening to “Aozora Katana” now that they're breaking up hits me all over again... I went to everything from the extra date of their first live to the Tokyo show, the Best Premium Live, and Niwaji. The one live I missed was because it was my wedding day, and that's where they announced the breakup... Still, those 13 years I spent with GARNET are what made me who I am now. Sorry for making it all about me...

One last dance with Yurippe.

A heart that bruises easily. A heart that gets swept along easily. I didn't want to expose it to the sunlight, so I couldn't move. Even so, even so, I still can't abandon it.

I've always wanted to hear “Yellow Moon” live, so getting to hear it at the end fulfilled a long-held wish. But if I'm being greedy, I wanted the full version.

Even this short life, even the bangs falling into my eyes, I want the wind blowing straight at me to blow them all away.

>933 It wasn't the full version? Did they arrange it shorter?

I want to make someone happy. That's all I wish for. May this gentle feeling continue forever, and may I stay forever with someone I hold dear.

The members were moved by the banner prepared by 3,000 fans and kept saying thank you. Is that right? When was the banner put up?

There were days when someone else's laughter hurt me. There were days when people's stares pierced me. That's why I was afraid. That's why I hurt someone else. Even so, even so, somewhere inside, I was still lonely.

>937 The staff prepared it.

I want to make someone happy. I want to make someone laugh. That's all I wish for. For the people who would accept even someone like me, for the people who would reach out and touch even someone like me, I want to become capable of doing more.

The desire to feel at ease, the wish to stop breathing, within the love I finally got to touch, are slowly, little by little, disappearing.

Whenever someone laughs, whenever someone cries, I become happy too. I become sad too. Even someone as useless as me, ah, may I be of more and more use to someone, may I become someone's happiness, may I live gently and strongly.

>937 The report says that, but maybe the company had the media write it that way. Grand Cube might not even hold 3,000 people. Personally, I couldn't really tell whether the members were moved by the banner. During the banner bit, though, Yurippe seemed to wave only toward the people close to the front. I don't know which encore it was, but apparently the STAFF busily prepared it during the encore. (I only noticed around when the banner bit ended, so I don't know when it first became visible.)

May joy and love grow even greater, may they reach everywhere, I truly feel that way. I want to live that way, with a gentle heart, forever, wherever, I want to live that way.

You can't live without playing a role. Why is the world like this? Whether you're a celebrity or a salaryman, everyone is just another person. The despair is huge when the truth behind the role you play gets exposed. And yet everyone has to keep searching for the truth in other people.

I was in seat C under the second-floor seats, so I didn't even know about the banner until I saw the news~ So the members were waving at it?

What is wrong with the people uploading phone pictures of the venue and banner to Bakatter? Photography was prohibited at the venue.

(・ω・`) But seriously, why does breaking up always turn into “future activities undecided” or “retirement”?ｗｗ Would switching to another label really get you punished that badly?ｗ Leaving TV aside, they could've made radio pretty interesting.

I really hope Yurippe becomes the exclusive composer for Ameyoko Jogakuen.

When's the Yurippe handshake event?

>935 After the instrumental break, it jumped straight to the second chorus. The cut line, “If you come to love someone, will the day you have to endure losing them surely come someday?”, felt exactly like my current state of mind and made me cry(T_T)

>948 Bakatter users are self-centered by nature. They'll casually upload copies of remix CDs too, without a care.

At the Osaka venue, during the section with fan-submitted messages, a staff member was saying, “Please refrain from taking pictures~,” but some girl still went *click!* and took one. Couldn't she hearｗ

The value of a genuine remix is probably going to go up.

Huh? I thought it was going in the Complete Box. The arrangements aren't included? Or are you not buying it?

>955 You can download it on Musing, so I don't think the value will rise that much...

Congrats, Okamocchi.

>952 Thanks. I'll try listening to it in bed.

Happy birthday, Mochi. Is the solo work going to continue?

When is Light-san in the bottom-left of the official site going to start doing something~? And happy birthday, Hitoshi Okamoto!

http://yaplog.jp/saki-ohana/archive/5257

It's been three days since GARNET CROW broke up... Time can't be resisted; some feelings fade with it. Even so, tears flowing freely aren't such a bad thing.

>836 Huh, really? By “people in the same field,” do you mean researchers or physicists? At my workplace (about 70 people, maybe?), I've never met anyone who says they're a GARNET fan... though I've never specifically asked either. I gave up announcing that I was a GARNET fan or trying to convert people around my second year of high school. Before that, during class introductions or music conversations, I think I'd say things like, “The music I like is GARNET...” and get, “Oh, the Conan one,” followed by a weird little laugh. I used to say, “You should listen to the albums,” and try to convert people, but only at first. I've never met another GARNET fan face-to-face. About two years ago, I went home and was shocked to find my much younger sister listening to GARNET. She'd rented the first best album from Tsutaya. Apparently she didn't know I owned it... To be fair, when I was listening to GARNET she was probably in the early years of elementary school, and because of the layout of our house I always listened through headphones... So it wouldn't be strange if she didn't know or remember. Maybe siblings really do have similar sensibilities. People in the same field... We don't really talk about music, so it'd be hard to find out. Even if I found out now, it wouldn't change anything... Do those guys even listen to music in the first place?

Congrats, Okamocchi. I'd love to see GC do a one-night surprise reunion at something like a SUPER LIGHT concert. I want to hear that gentle voice one more time — just quietly wishing for something impossible.

>963 (´；ω；｀) I might become a Saki-chan fan.

I couldn't see GARNET off in happiness. Even as they wither away, time flows on with the dream seen in the mirror(´；ω；｀)

Hey, I came back for the first time in ages and they're really breaking up...? And the final live is already over?orz

>967 I became a Saki-chan fan through Nico Live.

>970 Found a fellow fan. Saki-chan was so hardcore that the other person looked like a casual by comparison, which was kind of sad for them, but that livestream was great.

Happy birthday, Okamocchi. I hope you keep doing great things even without GARNET.

It was a shame they didn't play “Spiral” on the final day. Though it was probably better that they didn't do “Seichi.”

Happy birthday, Mochi~ Keep getting along with Yurippe from now on tooｗ I'm counting on youー

If “Wasurezaki,” “Maboroshi,” “Kimi wo Kazaru Hana wo Sakasou,” and “Hare Dokei” had all been on the setlist, I would've cried my eyes out.

Unlike the younger fans, I've accepted the breakup. But for me, getting obsessed with music, entertainment, and art like GARNET — something that's not just a one-off interest — is basically ego and self-indulgence, a negative karmic connection I've locked myself into. (I realized it way too late.) The last time was like losing a living god. I've finally learned the difference between social classes in this world and this life, so I wouldn't say “next life” even if you tore my mouth open... Am I ending up as a romantic stalker ghost? If Yurippe were ugly enough to barely keep the balance of the songs intact (though isn't that something idols have to carry?), I wouldn't suffer like this... ... Anyway, like Miho Komatsu or Lindberg, even if there isn't an official announcement this year, I wonder if news will start leaking out gradually. Marriage? Pregnancy? Is it this agency? This company? I've had enough of being tormented for years by a living ghost with no visible future, so I have to perform some kind of farewell ritual before the end of this year. It's not Yurinnie. I'm not causing anyone any trouble. It's just that some people might see me as making a fool of myself... That's all. Should I do it three times? I feel like the Forty-Seven Ronin. If an announcement comes out before then, I'll cancel it. I might use this thread too. ...I feel like writing this at all is bothering people, but this is how I sort things out and put them to rest.

What about the next thread?

I made the next thread~ GARNET CROW part288 http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/legend/1371006468/

>978 Thanksー

Looks like Gane Radio won't be updated anymore either. The blog and staff blog probably won't be updated from here on out too. Happy birthday, Mochi�d Please release a GARNET cover album, we beg you!

And so it passes into legend.

Posting for the record. Happy birthday, Mochi. And thank you, GARNET CROW. Sunday's Grand Cube show was my first and last live, but I had a great time. I wish I'd been able to attend more lives. I want to marry Yurippe.

They did have a breakup live, at least, but I get the feeling Yurippe is going to quietly disappear just like GIZA did(>_<)

Posting for the record, Nanaaa.

>978 Good work.

>978 I only just noticed: is the “Legendary Musicians” board really the right place? They're still going to release new songs. Also, ever since the Ninpōchō system was introduced, I can't start threads myself.

>978 A future full of “good work.” Wait, there was a board like that...?

Good work starting the thread! Posting for the record since this thread is about to end. Happy birthday, Mochi.

Posting for the record. Happy birthday, Mochi.

>983 You toss around “I want to marry her” so casually. What exactly are you planning? I'm not giving my Yuri to some irresponsible guy!!

>991 I was thinking of making a living with just one guitar...

I want to lick Ms. Yuri's clitoris...

Since it's Mochi's birthday, maybe he's going to register the marriage today.

Since the breakup announcement, “Namida no Yesterday” has been hovering between 11th and 20th on the cable anime rankings.

Happy birthday, Mochi. >994 Wouldn't that be nice. Seriously.

Mochi's girlfriend must be a good person.

Happy birthday, Mochi, and Ume.
