teranoid and friends

[nilmind]

Well, to be fair, I think she missed out on the BeForU punathon a couple of us had a ways back.

Anyway, I'm sure most of you already saw this, but Loserbait made a huge update on the Rush Hour event that's coming in just a couple of days. Seems like kors k will be there with Ryu* and...Reiji Sakurai's going to be there too? That's almost like saying Kanako Hoshino will be there. Wonder if this is a likely sign that there will be possible collabs between those performers in the future.

[kannazuki]

Yup. Reiji Sakurai's going to be there with QUADROID YUJI (Implying that they'll be playing a set together) and Reiji Sakurai's band Gylay are going to be be performing too. Not sure what it means for the future though.

Oh, and I was looking at good-cool's profile on the upsurge sit and I have to say that he looks like a woman in this picture:


Naoki has more competition?

Oh definitely. I looked at a couple of old photos of him a couple of weeks ago and didn't know when to bring this up. His voice is as good as Naoki's too. Speaking of which, I just started to listen to good-cool ultra expander the other day. I think kors k's Blame remix on there is perhaps the only one of his remixes that I liked much more than the original.

Wait wait... when does he sing? Like, on what songs on which albums? o_o I've never heard him sing before! I've only heard him play mad super awesome guitar.

Honey and 罠 (Wana). The funny thing is that when I first heard Wana, I really thought that it sounded like what I imagined good-cool to sound like. Also, Honey is pretty funky.

good-cool also does backup vocals for most of the School songs.

[nilmind]

Does anybody have the release dates for all 5 albums? Given the pattern, does anyone think that a new one will be looming about soon?

[shungokusatsu]

good-cool (Furukawa Tatsuya (古川竜也)) also sings in Namidaame Monogatari (涙雨物語), which debuted in Pop'n Music 12 Iroha, along with Suwa Hideo (すわひでお).

Personally I didn't notice a pattern. I know that most of them all hit in 2006, but I'm not sure why 2007 has been so teranoid deprived.

=O

[kannazuki]

teranoid underground edition （3/23/2006）
teranoid overground edition （3/23/2006）
teranoid overground edition 1.04 （8/30/2006）
teranoid overground edition KOJA YUKINO （12/27/2006）
teranoid anthems live@underground （2/23/2007, but it was already selling at Comiket at the end of 2006.）

So no real pattern in those dates, but maybe we can expect to see something in the second half of the year?

I didn't realize all these albums came out last year.. teranoid is fairly new to the Bemani scene then. Thanks for the info! more teranoid plz!

Btw, anyone notice how the girl from the booklet in the underground edition looks pretty different from the one in the two overground editions? Its hard to tell, but to me they dont look the same. Was Koja Yukino mentioned in the credits of underground edition, anyway? Because I think everyone assumes that pic is her... Maybe teranoid really IS a man... dun dun duuuunnnnn!

[kannazuki]

... Wait, I'm slightly confused. There are three overground editions, unless you're referring to just 'overground edition' and 'overground edition 1.04' and not 'overground edition - KOJA YUKINO'. And Koja Yukino was in underground edition, singing one song - HYPNOTIZE.

Oh, and I think Natsack's quote from the Japanese wiki is important here when it comes to who teranoid is.
"Though teranoid is a woman who appears on stage with me, you can't say that it is her to be precise. To be correct, she is the nearest to teranoid." So it's something like teranoid is some enigmatic thing and the woman is a vessel on who represents teranoid best. Or something like that. Not to mention that on the teranoid & MC Natsack site, the profile for teranoid says "Everything is an enigma."

So this is leading me to think that someone is really shy and reclusive (Let's face it, a lot of Japanese are like that - for all we know teranoid could be some hikikomori composing in his room and getting a chick to perform his work in clubs.) and wants the focus to be on the music, rather than the artist who's performing them. And let's just say that he/she is very good at being an enigma. That's kinda fun, actually.

[nilmind]

Warning! metaphysical bull$#!+ here:

Some people say that teranoid is just who you want him/her/they to be. This works with the theories that time and space is relative, so one's perception of reality is relative as well.

Anyone ever heard of Carl Jung's principle of the anima? It supposedly has something to do with a womanly part in the male's psyche, but more importantly, it leads to the collective unconscious that's shared by everyone. So I'd say that teranoid is the primal image of the symbol of woman . I think that the woman in the pictures of underground look kind of like Goli's Sakura afterall, so I may as well believe that.

Back to reality:

Personally, I don't think that the woman in the underground picture is Koja Yukino. I think they have different cheekbone structure, but then again, the shot is taken from a different angle.

Crap, I was completely confused in my last post, my bad. I meant the photos of Koja from teranoid overground edition: Koja Yukino looked completely different from those in teranoid underground edition. I think her eyes look really different, and I agree with what nilmind said about the cheekbones.

Lia's new album.. I was looking at purchasing some of her stuff and came across this too, but I was very confused. Isn't it 3 albums in one collection? Diamonds Days, Crystal Voice, and Spectrum Rays? I couldn't find a tracklist anywhere, so thanks for that. Where did you find it?

Eh, and does anyone know a site that sells enigmatic LIA 2? That's my favorite album, and I can't find anywhere to order it. T_T

Edit: Ok duh. Lia/LIA COLLECTION ALBUM �|Special Limited BOX�|“Á�݃TƒCƒgOPEN�ô2007”N6ŒŽ20“ú”*”„�™‚²—\–ñ‚Ì�ã ‚¨”ƒ‚¢‹�‚ß‚*‚¾‚³‚¢�I
Its like 3 different albums with new songs, various songs from all her albums, and new remixes to some of the old songs... but all in one collection. I think. Spectrum Rays looks the most interesting...
