GARNET CROW's “word scope in M.F.M.” (Vol.92)

In between recording sessions, vocalist YURI NAKAMURA has delivered a column!

Hello, everyone. This is Yurippe, working hard at recording every day.
On May 20, the new single “Doing all right” and the live DVD “Are You Ready To Lock On?!” were released.
I am very happy to think that you can finally listen to them!
Please send us your impressions too.
I always look forward to reading the messages from everyone.
There is also a project on the website where you can receive a special wallpaper when you send us your thoughts about the song,
so please take part.
Also, Internet radio has finally launched on the members-only fan club website.
There are plenty of behind-the-scenes stories that cannot be shared publicly, so all members, please go and listen.
If you are not a member, Let's join us! VIVA! G-NET! (laughs)

I received some chocolate as a gift—a planet!? It is wonderfully glossy.
It looks like a bowling ball… (laughs)
It is a fun chocolate even just to look at, and of course it was delicious!

Planet chocolate!?　　Mars　　Venus　　Saturn　　Earth

GARNET CROW's “word scope in M.F.M.” (Vol.93)

In between recording sessions, the “God Hand” himself, Hirohito Furui, has delivered a column!

How is everyone doing? This is Furui from GARNET CROW!!

It feels like it has been a while…
Shall I tell you a little about what I have been up to (laughs)?
I am currently making the final adjustments to the album.
Since the single and album are being released one after another this time,
there has been a lot of work to handle simultaneously,
but I feel that both the single and the album have come together with very satisfying results.

As for the contents, the single centers on the single version of “Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete,”
a grand ballad with the GARNET sound that we have carefully nurtured,
paired with “Ai ni Niteru,” a song that was once being considered as a single.
I think it is a selection that will not disappoint listeners!!

The album conveys GARNET CROW's history while sprinkling in a sense of playfulness and new challenges,
and I think it has become the kind of one-of-a-kind work we aim to create.
Please listen to it carefully, and come join us at a live show too!!

This will also be our first nationwide tour, so I am already looking forward to it.
We have also asked a special engineer to work with us,
so I hope you will enjoy the entire experience.
This summer will be over before we know it, but let us make it a year to remember!!

Now, the topic for Okamocchi next time is something along the lines of “How will you spend your summer vacation…?”
I am looking forward to seeing what kind of answer comes back (laughs).
Everyone, I will see you at events and live shows!!
