March 10th Members' Diary

2008 March 10 | Yuri Nakamura

Hi everyone, this's Yurippe who just joined the radio crew. Radio promotion for LOCKS is about to start. Everything's recorded live and a lot of programmes feature our commentaries. So please tune in if you can.

KissFM and e-radio are open to public (Translator note: probably means audience can watch the broadcasting process on the set behind glass panels). Come visit us if you have the time.

Last month, the reliable yet daunting (laughs) Mr. Wright visited us. We haven't seen him for a long time. He said 'Impressive!' after listening to our album and we were relieved hearing that. Recently, some of my friends who listened to our album in advance sent in emails and said it's great. I'm very glad. We feel assured that listeners are able to take in the things we want to express and convey, and we strongly wish everybody could listen to it asap.

Then, your heart will be Lock On (on on) ← echo

Everyone, it's coming~
Closer and closer!

(*'-'*) Yes Yes, the new album.

In a recent interview, we found that in '3/12 6th Album LOCKS'the numbers are all factors of 3. Our members suggested I tell this story to kill time in case cassettes get stuck and ruin the show.

About the new album, I think it's easy-listening and has great stuff.
It also goes well with the coming season so please make it your daily companion!

It's gonna be here soon~ Guys, it's approaching!

The European Champion League, Celtic vs. Barcelona 2nd round
ヾ(-д-;) Oioi...turned out you're talking about this...
Nobody knows what's gonna happen during a match.
Wish miracles happen! Barce used to beat their opponent 2:0 at home match.
It's gonna be a tough game unless the whole team toughen up and create some miracle.

This week's NSP. Since today is 'Ear day', our theme would be 'please be kind to your ear.'

Sarah Brightman / Scarborough Fair
IVY / Worry about you
Amos Lee / Arms of a Woman

By the way I saw a TV commercial about a drug that treats tinnitus. It's incredible we have such drugs.

Hello everyone,
LOCK your heart!
This's Yurippe, leader from LOCKS cheerleading squad.

Here's some info on the crafts design of LOCKS. The cover and booklet of LOCKS limited edition features a variety of plants and animals, such as bird, parrot, rabbit, bat, chameleon, lizard etc. It broadens the scope of an evergreen GARNET vision by depicting the fragile world of animals. There're also imaginary animals (dinosaurs?) and centaurs. Please find out for yourself!

The illustrations of limited edition A and B are connected but feature different styles and animals. Please look forward to it. The lizard on the cover of Limited B is designed by my request. The tiny lizard nestled against my shoulder, isn't it cute? I encourage you to check it out. Regular edition is also cool. It pictures a pure and evergreen world everybody would dream of. The booklet has the look of a real book, with our photos inside. Track listing is the same for every edition and each design is unconventional. Choose the one to your liking!

By the way, as much as I like all the designs, if you insist on asking which is our favourite as of now, the result goes: Auzki likes Limited B. Furui likes the regular edition. Okamoto likes Limited A and I like Limited A as well. Hopefully this could help you make a decision.

There're also a lot of highlights to watch out for in the DVD. I watched it today and Ninnaji Temple Live is impressive. In the video clip we have all sorts of expressions, which is fun. The kitty named GARNET-chan who appears in the PV of 'Mou ichido waratte' (laugh again) is also worth watching.

I hope our music reaches out to everyone's heart and connects to it. This's the thought we have while making LOCKS and I hope more people would listen to it.
