Garnet Crow is introduced in detail in Yuri Nakamura.

Someone asked YuriNakamura why he used the word garnet. Yuri mentioned in an interview with NACK 5 "Good Days Riverside" that the color of this gem "garnet" is not as bright red as ruby. Even so, it doesn't mean it is black, but it makes people feel that the center of the gem is dark red or dark red. I just can't say a sense of simplicity (musically)! From such a textured color, there always seems to be some subtle differences, or a subtle sense of harmony with music, which seems to show some deeper significance. I decided to use garnet.

The name "Garnet Crow" means to add the gem of garnet to the word "Garnet", while deep red points to the meaning of deep music, and the sound of seeking words is added with "crow", so the Japanese translation means "deep red crow", and the creepy words are considered together.

Members are composed of four men and women from Yuri Nakamura, Nai Nai Xiaoyue, Hitoshi Okamoto and Gu Jingyuren. The leader is Hirohito koi fish, but official website and others. They are arranged in written order, so the order has changed. The lead singer is Yuri Nakamura. 1999, the band was formed. At first, four people made their debut in Kuraki Mai as independent producers. They are engaged in joint production. In addition to the other three people in Nakamura, they are carrying out activities provided and supported by other artists in biingugurupu. At that time, Nakamura himself just wanted not to engage in superficial work like a music director, but the recommendation around him gradually became the composer and lead singer. The detailed introduction of members will continue later.

In music production, the division of labor is very clear. In most music, members complete the basic parts of lyrics, music and arrangement by themselves. Especially in Nakamura's music, the lyrics of Xiaoyue Nai Nai are endowed with the core position of music. So in their debut, they formed their own unique neoako music. But since 1999, they haven't performed live and live singing. However, at the first live meeting in 2002, due to the previous CD recording experience, the music style and musicality of neoako were greatly increased, so it was included, and the elements of Latin music and folk songs were retained in the repertoire.

Before 2007, members of the current group also had some undisclosed experiences. At the same time, by the time "Dream" was released in 2002 [after waking up], they had never appeared on TV programs at all. At that time, the basic situation was that the artists in the group (biingugurupu) had not been on TV programs, or even the same group (company).

In Japan, since 2002, the live video broadcast has taken the centers of three major cities as an important place, and basically 20 concerts will be staged every year. Therefore, the band members also have a heated discussion on whether to perform on TV. Yuri Nakamura

Lead singer, composer and chorus

When composing all the music of Garnet Crow, he acted as the lead singer and chorus of a song. He was the only newcomer when Garnet Crow debuted. After debut, as a logistics person of Garnet Crow,

1999 debuted as a composer and lead singer of Garnet Crow, and formally composed and sang as a newcomer. After that, he participated in MTV, interviews, concerts and other activities as a band representative. Since 200 1, he is not only an active member of Garnet Ravens, but also provides music for conflict albums and retro albums in U-ka saegusa, Izumi Sakai and Giza studios. In "Comprehensive Reality", he participated in the performance in Yu Nakamura's personal name, and appeared as a guest in the Yuichi Ikuzawa Concert held by the bakery in 2003.

The voice line is deeper than that of the ordinary heroine, with a wide range and strong explosive singing energy. Taking the mid-bass range as the melody center and combining various techniques, it produces a unique singing style and harmony lines. Especially compared with many female lead singers who are active at the same time and good at high notes, this uniqueness is even more remarkable. Yuri practiced classical piano when he was a child and began to compose music when he was a student. "This uniqueness in composition and singing comes from the influence of classical music (Chopin and) that I was familiar with since I was a child, as well as my favorite Shibuya and Nordic music" (Li himself)

Although there are often cold expressions in the photos attached to the CD, if she sings a relaxed song in the concert, everyone will see her smile happily. Yuli called herself "Geji" at the concert. Typhoons are quiet and rarely jump around. However, the sound is quite shocking, and fancy gestures are also one of the highlights. Her habitual action is to nod her head slightly after singing a song. As the lead singer, Yuli himself is very dedicated. He once broke his rib during the production of The Last Love Song because of gymnastics, but even so, he insisted on singing and recording. Even so, she pays great attention to her health. "She would never eat spicy food like curry before singing." In addition, before the TV performance, Yuri will bring his own throat lotion. In addition, Yuli is also a gourmet, who has widely commented on natto, matcha, Tokyo Station's extremely attached lunch, caramel macchiato and other delicacies. I like to eat oolong cooked in iron pot and fried noodles with iron plate, but I hate eels and green peppers.

My interests are playing the piano, listening to music and appreciating works of art, which are deeply influenced by my parents and friends around me. Favorite musicians are bjork, cranberry jam and Sheryl Crow &; Alanis morissette. Among my own songs, I like "Unfinished Tone" best, and the tenth single "After Waking from a Dream" embodies the most thoughts because it is the debut of my school days.

Besides, as she and the media admit, she has a very close relationship with Xiaoyue Nai Nai, and Xiaoyue Nai Nai is also a member of Garnet Crow. It is said that there is a lot of contact between them in their private lives.

Azuki Nana

Lyrics and keyboard

The lyrics produced by abortion Nai Nai, as it says, have many unique tendencies, such as using impermanent impressions, loneliness, dead ideas, borrowing words and so on. As lyrics, scripts, myths, religions and literary works, Judaism and Christianity come from Jesus, the Old Testament comes from the city of escape, and Buddhism comes from Styx. Literary works include "New Star-Squirrel Gate" and so on. Moreover, his photo photography is also very deep, and that work can't be compared with a CD envelope.

Hitoshi Okamoto

Guitar, others

When Garnet Crow made its debut, Hitoshi Okamoto appeared as an independent producer.

Garnet Crow began her solo performance after her debut. Okamoto's solo performance will also have an impact on Garnett Crowe's future activities. In the live recording tour after 2004, Okamoto, who should be a guitarist, became the lead singer of Garnett Crowe's music, and the isometric setting of "A Thousand Words of Fallen Leaves" and "The Last Love Song". The live recording was introduced by Nakamura as "a guitarist with charisma". From 2006 to 2009, he was the only member of this group who had his own radio program.

Gu jingyuren

Play the role of arranger and keyboard

He is a leader who pays attention to practical business in music production. The members not only won the trust of other artists, but also were famous for their performance and arrangement ability. In the live recording, in sharp contrast to the characters such as Su Ping Ku, there was intense keyboard performance during the performance. This paper mainly records the important parts of its activities and actions, but mainly focuses on works, live scenes, recordings and so on.

According to different occasions, Abortion Nai Nai also plays the flute, and Yuri Nakamura sometimes plays Tanwulin.

Abortion Nai Nai and Gu Jing have different keyboard operations, but the mechanical materials used are different in sound sign (I don't know what this technical term is called) and timbre. Gu Jing used plural keyboards, while Keizo Obuchi used 1 keyboard since his second live recording trip in 2004. At the same time, Gu Jing used a variety of timbres, such as synthesizer and organ, while abortion Nai Nai mainly used piano timbre. In the first DVD recording, it was indicated that koi fish played "keyboard" and Abortion Nai Nai played "piano".

Since the types of musical instruments used by recording and on-site recording members are not different according to time, several things can be confirmed from the following description.

Hitoshi Okamoto's musical instrument.

So far, Hitoshi Okamoto has been using the guitar. Guitar has the following types (type, style, company name, etc.). ):

Electric guitar fender American fat telegibson company.

Historical Collection 57 les paul Standard reissued Gibson Company.

ES-335 acoustics? Guitar Martin

Emperor Hirohito used the following keyboards:

Synthesizers Yamaha MOTIF 7/ ES6/ ES7/ ES8

Organ Hammond XB- 1

Such a synthesizer and such an organ are not used much. In 2004, three sets of MOTIF 7, string timbre and effect timbre were prepared for the live recording tour, which were used separately from the synthesizer-led ones. Since the third live recording tour in 2005, three instruments of MOTIF series and Motives series have been used.

The musical instrument used by Xiaoyue Nai Nai.

There are several types of synthesizers used in AZUKI Nana:

Yamaha S90

S90 used by Abortion Nai Nai is better than the filling method used in the second live recording tour. It is used to fill music and has become a special method for Abortion Nai Nai. At the same time, two instruments made by Roland, one of which was confirmed to be processed in the first on-site recording of travel images in 2002.
