TWITTER

This is old news but NARASAKI and WATCHMAN have Twitter accounts.
I was hesitant to post this information on this blog because I wasn't sure if NARASAKI would have liked to keep his Twitter private... However, I'm sure a lot of his fans follow his Twitter, including me. hahaha...
Special thanks to a Japanese COTD FAN, for telling me about the twitter account!

If you find anymore related members who have Twitters, please let me know. :)

If you look at NARASAKI's current tweet, he posted guitar chords for a song...
It's PART of the opening theme song of Hanamaru Youchien, Aozora Triangle!

Hanamaru Kindergarten photos

Last year, I knew that the Hanamaru Kindergarten website had a blog but I didn't find any blog entries about WATCHMAN or NARASAKI until today!
I finally decided to go through all their posts and found CUTE pictures of WATCHMAN and NARASAKI with Hanamaru Kindergarten's spokesperson mascot, PandaNeko (panda cat).

PandaNeko visits King Records and meets WATCHMAN.

PandaNeko visits the studio again and meets NARASAKI.
He mentions that NARASAKI was the director for the sound mixing (I think...).






NOTE: This image had animated sparkles but I couldn't save the image since it was a flash file.
This is also my favorite photo of NARASAKI. <3

Sadesper Record really like their hats~ ;]

Sadesper Record & Goro Watari

I just received my copy of Sadesper Record's A sort of Sound Track for U.F.O.!

I'm sorry for not updating COTD FAN lately, but I have been busy with college.
I plan on including scans from this CD!

Unfortunately, the CD does not contain any lyrics...
However, here's some interesting information:

The music was for an independent movie called, U.F.O. which was directed by YU-ICHI SUKIGARA of GOD X DOG Production. Sadly, his website is not available anymore... All I know is that the movie was released in 2004 and it was a 90-minute film. The SIESTA music video is supposedly their trailer.

In this release, NARASAKI goes by the alias, GORO WATARI.

A while back, I purchased another rare CD: Goro Watari - Hinode Tracks [2008].

I will provide scans in a future COTD FAN update...

The CD came in a thick paper cover and paper slip. The package also included a piece of paper with the album artwork. Not that much information is known on Hinode Tracks other than it was a collaboration project and there were a few yearly releases. I THINK this CD was just a collection of all of NARASAKI's tracks in all the Hinode Tracks that someone decided to put together.
If you like ambience electronic music, I think you'd like this CD.

Goro Watari - Hinode Tracks [2008]

02. Era

I just saw the first episode of Hanamaru Kindergarten today.
I'm not into anime that much anymore but I had to watch this show because Sadesper Record did the background music! hahaha Anything that's COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS-related or NARASAKI-related I must be a part of!
If you're into ridiculously cute anime and a little bit of mature humor, I think you'd like this anime.
It's pretty much about cute little kindergarten kids and teachers... so far.

You can watch the first episode here: (special thanks to watchanimeon)

[Episode 1]


The first episode didn't have an opening theme... unless I missed it... If I missed it then it's ridiculously short.
However, the background music in the anime was amazing. I loved the main background music theme!
It also turns out that NARASAKI composed the ending theme song!

I'm really happy that NARASAKI and WATCHMAN are active!

Here's a PV of his song ALIXY from musicmine's official YouTube channel.
