Profile
The four first met while doing some studio work in 1999 for Osaka-based record label, GIZA Records, and immediately hit it off. Not long after, they decided to form their own band, eventually signing with the independent label Tent House and releasing their debut CD, first kaleidscope ~kimi no uchi ni tsuku made zutto hashitte yuku~. The six-track mini-album earned the group critical acclaim in its limited distribution, and they were quickly signed with GIZA and signed to a major recording contract. They also did the opening song, Mysterious Eyes, for the anime series Meitantei Konan!The three singles they released in 2001 all failed to crack the Oricon Top 10 in their first week of release. With Garnet Crow about to start on their third year in the majors, their tenth single, Yume mita ato de, was once again selected to be the ending theme to Konan, and the group also scheduled a rare appearance on TV Asahi’s Music Station to promote the song. The combination worked well, and Yume mita ato de debuted the next week at #6 on the Oricon weekly sales charts. Just over a month later, Garnet Crow released their second LP, Sparkle ~Sujigakidoori no Sky Blue~. The album flew in at #4 in its first week in release.

Thoughts
I am not impressed with Garnet Crow. Although they have a very beautiful and talented vocalist, I do not believe they’re much different than any of the other j-pop artists out there. Truthfully, they pale in comparison to Do As Infinity. However, that is not to say they’re no good, but they do need to develop more unique songs. I suppose the one thing this band has is an extraordinarily good song writer, which also means very beautiful lyrics.Nickblaze
