10th Anniversary Special

more GARNET CROW life Vol.6

GARNET CROW celebrated their 10th anniversary this year and have now entered their 11th year. Their new single “Over Drive” achieved their highest-ever position, debuting at No. 4 on the Oricon Singles Chart, and continues to be a long-running hit. In this installment of [more GARNET CROW life], presented to commemorate their 10th anniversary, we pick out songs from the GARNET CROW catalog linked to colors. Here, we would like to introduce four color categories that appear most frequently among songs containing specific color words in their lyrics. (We have selected songs in which one color appears at least once.)【All lyrics by AZUKI 七】

【青・碧】〜Blue〜

“Blue” was the most frequent color to appear alongside natural keywords such as the sky and sea. It is also interesting to see it written in several different ways.

● “千以上の言葉を並べても...”　4th SG, released 2000.9.27　GZCA-1044
● “blue bird” (B-side of the 4th SG “千以上の言葉を並べても...”)

“千以上の言葉を並べても...”

Planting a tree that bears no flowers,
while tangled in its overflowing branches,
struggling as I struggle,
it feels as though I am gazing up at the blue sky, yeah〜

“blue bird”

Hey, don’t forget, blue bird.
From the day you were here with me,
I have been able to start again.

● “永遠を駆け抜ける一瞬の僕ら”
(Included on the 3rd AL “Crystallize 〜君という光〜”) Released 2003.11.12　GZCA-5038

We are a fleeting moment racing through eternity,
the ground where we landed was a refreshing, deep blue.
Your kindness brought me back to life,
a future like a sweet ambition—
let me be guided rather than perish...

● “ブルーの森で”
● “雨上がりのBlue”
(Included on the 4th AL “I'm waiting 4 you”) Released 2004.12.8　GZCA-5052

“ブルーの森で”

In a blue forest that stretches endlessly,
something like tears overflowed.
la-la-la......
I wonder if this is what sadness is.

“雨上がりのBlue”

I felt I wanted to believe in the bonds of summer.
Let us each follow our own path.
The image I chased: blue after the rain.

● “君の思い描いた夢 集メル HEAVEN”
18th SG, released 2005.5.18　GZCA-4041 (regular edition)

To the door of Novalis, where the dreams you imagined gather in heaven,
where blue flowers bloom—
whether tomorrow is born depends on us,
and everything becomes a dream.

● “失われた物語”
(Included on the 22nd SG “今宵エデンの片隅で”) Released 2006.8.16　GZCA-4078

The moment I pass through the narrow alley
where the blue sky peeks through feels so good.
As I live while finding small joys,
I somehow become melancholy.

● “Over Drive”
31st SG, released 2010.4.14　GZCA-7156 (regular edition)

That feeling that makes my chest tighten,
the season I spent with you,
sky-high, blue—
receding.

Over Drive, with things flying high above.
I want to be in a world that is blue without end.
Birds dance through the air like confetti.
How beautiful.

【白】〜White〜

The next most frequent color was “white.” Even the same white creates a different impression depending on the world of the lyrics. It is strange how the seasons and even the temperature seem to come through.

● “whiteout”
(B-side of the 9th SG “Timeless Sleep”) Released 2001.11.21　GZCA-2020

When I woke, the whole world was silver-white,
the scenery looked like a movie.
It was so dazzling that my vision blurred—a different dimension.

I set out walking once again into the white world,
dazzled by the radiance: whiteout.

● “call my name”
8th SG, released 2001.8.8　GZCA-2005

A white wall and Rembrandt—
I gazed at them forever.
On Sunday morning, I simply sat beside you.
Look, the light streaming in through the open window is there,
and, as if suddenly remembering, call my name.

● “この冬の白さに” (included on the 4th AL “I'm waiting 4 you”)
Released 2004.12.8　GZCA-5052

I want to be held by the whiteness of this winter; people return, after all.
Make me freeze here now, so I cannot see a thing.
la-la—winter in this town, in all its whiteness,
I want to keep the people dear to me here.
People wishing for spring melt away into the white world.
breathed out...my blooming heart...

● “As the Dew” (included on the BEST AL “THE BEST History of GARNET CROW at the crest...”)
Released 2010.2.10　GZCA-5215〜5216 (regular edition)

It is raining, unfortunately, but let’s go out as planned.
You cannot even see the dress-up I went to all that trouble for.
On the cherry-lined street at the weekend, a brilliant white path,
I reminisced about Serusier in a museum echoing with footsteps.

【赤（紅・朱）】〜Red〜

● “廻り道”
(Included on the 24th SG “この手を伸ばせば/風とRAINBOW”)
Released 2007.2.21　GZCA-4088 (regular edition)

We watched the vermilion sunset,
surely seeing the same sky even if we were apart.
Ah, spending an endless stretch of time
that resembled sorrow,
turning over feelings we could not convey—taking the long way around.

● “Sky”
● “dreaming of love”
(Included on the 1st Indies mini AL “first kaleidscope 〜君の家に着くまでずっと走ってゆく〜”)
Released 1999.12.4　TCR-001

“Sky”　The red of dusk, swallowed by night,
　　　　　　I wander freely.

“dreaming of love”　The destination of the crimson flower—
　　　　　　　　　　it was thrown away.
　　　　　　　　　　It breathed its last in a corner of a hill where no one was.

【黄色】〜Yellow〜

● “Yellow Moon”
(Included on the 5th AL “THE TWILIGHT VALLEY”)
Released 2006.10.4　GZCA-5092 (regular edition)

Hey, surely the pain piercing my heart on this day will fade.
Yellow Moon, standing there as if to make me remember it someday again,
Yellow Moon, shining it into view,
Yellow Moon, simply there.

● “Flower”
(Included on the 17th SG “忘れ咲き”)
Released 2004.11.17　GZCA-4028

If you decorate with a single yellow flower,
you can become happy.
I feel as though I might fall...

Many other colors also appear in the lyrics, including orange, green, silver, gray, and gold.
