Tada~! I come bearing wonderful gifts! These are scans and rip of a live-only distributed cd of girugamesh! This is a few years old, everyone has the song (or well, they should!) but I ripped it in full quality. Enjoy!
Totally random, but I googled 戦友共闘歌 to find a better scan of the cover for my iTunes and your scans were the first thing that popped up. Thank you for doing this! I only own their major releases so I'll have to wait to check a Book Off or Closet Child the next time I go to Japan to find their more indies releases.
You wouldn't happen to have any of the other live CD scans would you? Or for their harder to find stuff like 拒絶された机-単独型円盤- or 『枯咲き歌』~開場型円盤~ would you? :)
Sadly, I don't have the ones you're looking for! I have stuff from 2004 but that's just 開戦宣言 and 空虚の器 (which also had a 2005 re-release barely a month later) which are not live-only releases.
Back in the day, on their old site, they had all their live only cds on their discography with the "no image" image and this one with the cover I have scanned here (which was for this release).
So, sadly, I use their "no image" for their live cds until I get hold of them (glamorous sky was going for $90, not including shipping!) or until someone is nice enough to scan them. And that's saying those cds even HAD covers - a lot of bands put out their cds in paper envelopes with a flyer.
If you ever come across scans of them, please share them with me! I've waited years.. (ノД`)・゜・。
I figured it was a long shot anyway, it's just funny that for my favorite band I only have like...11 album covers, haha.
And yeah wow, the days that giru gave out their CDs in envelopes. With how big they continue to get, it's hard to believe they were ever like that. I still remember as recently as two years ago when like nobody I knew was into them.
And Glamorous Sky for $90?! Nooo way. Though I do wish their older stuff was more easily accessible. It took me like two weeks to get the lyrics for ミッドナイト off Mixi so I could translate them for the blog community. D:
But if I do find them, I will definitely let you know! I wish I had looked more the last time I was in Japan but I don't even know if I would have been able to find them even if I tried. That might be something you just luck into. :/
And I've already rambled too much at this point but your LJ handle makes me really 懐かしい for their old individual blogs. :)
YAY! Someone finally noticed that this name was from satoshi's old blog!!ー♪ Anyone who's been a fan of them from the get go would know the handle! You get major cookies!! ~~且_(^▽^*)
I have their old blogs archived just in case it was to ever go down when they did the switch - but oddly enough, they're all still up and running!
I've been such a fan of them since they started, (cute satoshi and his "good morning" mug!) and it's so much fun to watch them evolve and the fanbase as well! The giru comm didn't even exist until late 2005 - I think I even made the first post XDD;; - and now, it's grown so HUGE! There was like, barely 10 members at the time XD
Closet Child's cd shop had a bunch of girugamesh stuff online about a year ago I remember - that's actually where I saw Glamorous Sky going for such an insane amount of money. I mean, it's not that old and it's only one song!
Otherwise, yahoo!japan shopping is a good place to look when you're not in japan. But it's all run like you said, luck. =/
