GARNET CROW's new single decided!
GARNET CROW will release the 28th single 'Hyakunen no Kodoku' (One hundred years of solitude) on Oct 22, 2008.
Hyakunen no Kodoku will be the new theme of upcoming movie 'Makoto Kyuuseishu Densetsu, Hokuto no Ken ZERO, Kenshirou Den' (Legend of the true savior, True Fist of the North Star ZERO, Story of Kenshiro) scheduled for the big screen in autumn. The song embraces the heavy essence of the worldview of Hokuto no Ken which welcomes its 25th anniversary. Details on coupling songs will be reported later.

Information on the new single was first disclosed on a casual note during LOCKS live tour, but due to confidential issues Yurippe only announced the title which nonetheless stirred up enough excitement among the audience.

Hokuto no Ken 25th anniversary project
I actually grew up watching this anime and what I remember from it is lots of blood spills,violent fist fights and torn clothes (The protagonist's clothes is torn to pieces whenever he pumps up his muscles on adrenaline surge. Don't you wonder how he keeps on the same set of clothes in every episode? Never mind.) It's pretty hardcore and the series has been alive for 25 years apparently. The 25th anniversary project is probably the last theatrical release and I'm really excited GC runs away with the title. The popularity of the series will definitely help them find more listeners. And looking at the title 'A hundred years of solitude', I have my expectations brewing! Search for '北斗の拳', or 'Hokuto no Ken' on youtube and you'll get a sense of the previous title songs. Here's the famous TV OP 'You are shock'.
