The Breastroke II release date POSTPONED

There has been another update on COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' website.

2009/12/17
* 「The Breastroke II」の発売延期のお知らせ
　当初12/23に発売を予定致しておりましたが、印刷の関係で来年1/13に延期となりました。

※各CD販売店にての初回盤予約の受付は再度オーダーいただければ受付可能です。
お手数をおかけして申し訳ありません。

According to our COTD FAN translator, Nana, she said:

"Well, it seems... The Breastroke II release date will be canceled. It won't be this 23rd December, but 13rd January... Next year"

LUCKY FOR ME... because I had to cancel my pre-order since I am running out of money to spend... >_>;

COTD FANS, look out for JANUARY 13TH!

Happy holidays!

No DVDs?!

Hey COTD FANs,

There seems to be a bit of a problem with pre-ordering The Breastroke II including the DVD.
HMV and CDJapan only provide the standard edition.
Why? I don't know... SO I e-mailed COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' manager, Kozo Kurata.

My e-mail:

Dear COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS,

How can overseas fans purchase your The Breastroke II album WITH the DVD?
HMV and CDJapan have The Breastroke II on pre-order, but they do not include the DVD.
How can we get the edition with the DVD?

Thank you!

- HT



His reply:

Because DVD is enclosed to for first time production entirely, I think that I
do not have any problem if even HMV and CDJapan purchase a first time
share and follow it.

Honestly, I don't understand what he meant by that...
I'm going to ask one of the COTD FAN staff members to e-mail him in Japanese.

new new NEW!!!! <3

NARASAKI photo [2006]

Special thanks to Lostman, COTD FAN staff researcher, for finding a rare photo of NARASAKI!

I think the blog owner is an actor from the movie, Masters of Thunder. NARASAKI helped work on the music for Masters of Thunder.



I also found an interesting image of TOKUSATSU as South Park characters!

(left to right TOP: Ostuki Kenji, Mishiba Satoshi)
(left to right BOTTOM: NARASAKI, ARIMATSU)

I don't know who made it but I found it through Google images on Last.fm.
If anyone knows who made, please let me know! I'd like to credit this person.
Unfortunately, the image is small...

RARE OLD LIVE PHOTOS [2003]

While doing more COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS research, and special thanks to Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, I found some photos of one of their live gigs at LOFT!
Unfortunately, all the photos were not obtainable and most of the photos are small...

haha Isn't the internet amazing? It can make a dedicated fan seem like a stalker... -__-;

COTD1/29 LOFT楽屋 ここで問題です。この中に１人だけメンバーと関係のない人が居ます。その人は誰でしょう？
何段目の右から○番目でライブでの担当は○○○と答えてメールで送って下さい。
正解の方抽選で２名様に何かあげます！

According to Google Translate, there was a problem backstage... but I'll ask Nana, the COTD FAN translator, to translate and make sure though. :)
