"OMFG ITS FULL"

[Kamijo]

I know I'm ahead of my time because there's really nothing much announced, but I'm just reaaally looking forward to it.

They're three, with Nyunyu as singer Hikaru on guitars and Full on synthesizers. He's also producing the band. I'm really interested on what Full will do with all of his concentration on synth, and especially with female vocals =).

Yeeeah, I think its too early for this thread. XD
But maybe we need a WHATEVER-FULL thread. Hmmm.
(Shilfee deserves more fans).

Anyways, for those who haven't heard, FUll remixed recently 2 songs for アム(romanized as UM not AM), which they feature on their 1st album.
This is their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/umspace

Ahaha. Furutaka Tomo, better known as FULL, is the vocalist & mastermind behind Guniw Tools, Nookicky & his latest solo project; SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES. :B

When it comes to the latter two projects, they're not everybody's cup of tea, I have to admit. But Guniw Tools enjoyed of a fairly big fanbase back in the day(they broke up like, 8 years ago) so I invite you to look up their PVs on YouTube if you haven't heard them.

The "Dearly Dark Nap" remix owns my soul- it's like musical orgasm, and from me, that's really saying something. XD

 

[PureElegance]

I heard of them but I never looked them up or anything XD I want to listen to FULL's stuff now ::kisaki::

I dunno how much Guniw Tools stuff you have but if you like that song, I recommend you other songs that run along that industrial-ish vein, like "Border of Taboo", "Case of Destruction" & "Picture of Utopia" all from the album DAZZLE. :3

Well, all his Guniw Tools PVs are in print but he's released one PV for his new project "SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES" called "Dead Leaves" which he hosted on his labyrinth of a site so someone uploaded it to YouTube and now he links to that instead. XD

Its quite operatic & bizarre so if you don't like it, don't take it as an example of his music. And if you like it...well, don't take it as an example of his music.

[Garnet in the Eden]

^ O_o. After just listening, I love that sonh. His voice is amazing! O_o; -kinda confused-

 

[sailorKa]

^^ He is amazing.

He doesn't really use much that falsetti operatic voice usually but the lower voice he uses on the start of the 2nd minute resembles more the voice he uses on some songs.

I'm glad you liked it. ^-^

Note of interest for those who may not know:
Zull & Peggy(then known as Fu~mii) were in Nookicky. Even thou Fu~mii was only an occasional live bassist for some months, Zull was an official member. ^^

Actually, I've not heard those- I tried looking up some Guniw tools ages ago, but all/most of the cds are out of print and the mp3s are insanely hard to find, so I think I found about three or so. And even then, it was a huge search just for me to find out the title of Dealy Dark Nap and that it was the remix because the track I found was unnamed originally. x.x I ended up running across the PV and really didn't like the original too much- it sounded under production. But yeah, I'd love to check out some more- I really liked what I had, especially that track. ::kisaki:: Thanks for the suggestions!

 

[colorsofromance]

I'm a HUGE Guniw Tools fan!

Full is the greatest, I'm so happy to finally here that there are some fans of his here, for I was beginning to believe that there weren't!

There isn't so much information about them online, that I can find at least. Does anybody here know of any Guniw Tools or Full fansites?

But maybe we need a WHATEVER-FULL thread. Hmmm.

That would be so great

 

[Kamijo]

I'm sure this can be a whatever-FULL thread.

Have you seen the bowls he has drawn in lately? They're really awesome, he never loses touch with art in everyday life, that's why I like him so much =).

He also taught me that in Hokkaido it can snow as much as in Canada during the winter! That's crazy XDD I know where I'll be going if I ever move to Japan.

 

[Lilly]

I don`t have much clue about Full, but I heard he disliked Mana (even though they did a photoshoot together '_')

Is this true?
Because I can`t believe this...

I guess it`s just another rumor >_>

 

[Garnet in the Eden]

^ Ooh o-o Have you got the pictures? XD -wants to see-

Where did you hear that ?D:

 

[shazzer]

I just love full. He has a Myspace where he also sells goods

http://www.myspace.com/guniw

edit found pic of Mana and Full, took me some time to find it.

OMG, you're right! O_O;;;
I just looked DAZZLE up in Amazon Japan & CDJapan and in both sites its out of print! O_O;;;
........ I'm totally going to upload it to the downloads forum now!!!
>8D More people need to know the awesomeness of Guniw Tools(and Full, in general)! >_</

Hahaha. Um, I don't think he hates Mana at all. *lol*
Full tends to be really weird in interviews and makes all sort of stuff up so it seems that on an interview close to the time he did that photoshoot with mana(or the interview of that photoshoot, if there ever was one), it seems FULL said "Oh, I hate O-type people." and people were liek "OMFG, HE HATES MANA! TEH HORROR!" because Mana is O+
But he also tried to say once that he was friends with Ryutarou because they'd both been snakes in their past lives but Ryutarou was like "CUT THE CRAP! I WAS A FIREFLY IN MY PAST LIFE! D:" and FULL was like "Oh....". XDDDDDDD

And this is the only copy I have of the photo. >_< Its small but...
(no, its not THAT small. Click for a bigger pic XDDDD).
I don't remember from what magazine it is but I can tell from FULL's clothes that it was in the start of the year 1998 because he's wearing the DADA PV outfit.
EDIT: OMGAWD, Shazzer beat me to it. OTZ XD

I'm sure this can be a whatever-FULL thread.

Oh! Then maybe we should change the thread's title to something more inclusive like "OMFG ITS FULL" (not really XD).

EDIT:

I'm a HUGE Guniw Tools fan!

I think I knew you were a Full fan. ^^
There used to be at least 3 other forum members who were hardcore FULL fans but they aren't around much anymore, sadly(Mouse Pirate, Kame &....the girl with the Guruguru Eigakan icon...her name started with an A... >_< *forgot* D: ).
There have been fansites but they have all died T-T
Even the most recent, Flower Pistol, seems to have disappeared.
NYOiiN was a good one too but its dead since some years ago and the URL is broken. >_<

Your best bet would be Full's own site, niwlun.net but he changes it around ALL THE TIME and he just recently started messing it all up with Flash and its still pretty raw XD

.......Maybe I should make a fansite because all the good ones died.

--k

PS: I just read in the Yuki Kaori(she's a famous mangaka) japanese wiki article that she admitted having based her character Belial(from Angel Sanctuary) off Full!!!!! :O 8D
According to the Angel Sanctuary wiki, Belial doesn't really have a determined gender and is very androgynous in actions.
He/She's called by fans "The Mad Hatter" and looks very much like Full in pictures like these:

How interesting, right? ^^

EDIT: Gah! this post is so long! T-T Maybe I SHOULD do a fanpage, I know too much stupid stuff. XD

 

[Kyuketsuki]

^ YES! Make a fan page- there's so little info out on them.

And if you put stuff in the d/l forum, I'd love you forever (not like I didn't love you before or anything. )

 

[PureElegance]

Too bad there aren't many pictures of FULL on Google! XD I like his hat, hair, and umbrella

I'll download the songs once ka puts them in the downloads forum ::kisaki::

(and I love Yuki Kaori XD)

 

[sailorKa]

@Kyu: LOL, maybe I will.
and I'm already uploading the songs so just wait a bit! ^_^

@PureElegance:
The NIWLUN page Full made before this one had a slightly hidden section called "Scraps" where he had a bunch of framed pictures as if it were some sort of FULL museum. XD
And since I know he goes through webpages like he does toilet paper, I saved them all.
Here are some of them(click for bigger pictures, as always):



The last pic is the most recent one. Its his outfit from SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES' CHICHIRO album:

EDIT@Kyu: Oh, and the second picture is from the time they did the Border of Taboo PV for DAZZLE.
Full makes PVs for each and every song he makes, usually. Not just singles. Now THAT'S creativity.
Specially since he directs them all, does the choreography, outfits, props, producing, etc, etc, etc mostly by himself.

EDIT:
I found 2 piccus from a photoshoot/interview Asaki did with Imai Hisashi from BUCK-TICK. ^-^
If you're going to ask about the B-T/Guniw connection, they're friends.
Full directed BUCK-TICK's CANDY PV & Imai Hisashi wrote GRAZING for Guniw Tools' album "DAZZLE"(which I just uploaded to the downloads section of the forum). ^_^

[desqui]

Wow, I'm glad there's talk about Full on here! >< I had heard only few Guniw Tools & Nookicky songs but have listened to the entire Chichiro album.
A long time ago I got really into him but since information is indeed limited, I stopped researching and went into waiting for updates. Then I'd jump on the boat and stay on forever more~~!! And here it is =D

Thank you for the pictures! Seriously, anything I find related to him or Of him are really inspiring in some.. . awkward but , but perfect way. Makes me feel like I can do anything I want all by myself whenever I feel like it. haha
