Don't PANIC! It's the ORANGE RANGE OFFICIAL THREAD!

[rookies]

It seems like forever since they've released their last single.

What have they been up to since then?

Gah... I've lost interest in them because of slow releases. I just hope this new single

will be new and refreshing, and get their fans back into their music.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Woot woot for a new single!

[Beauty4123]

i've lost interest in them, too. but i liked ikenai taiyou and O2. nothing will EVER beat ~*Asterisk~, though. best song ever

[rookies]

^ I love Asterisk, that was the song that got me into them.

And I also like their cd covers, cus it always had an orange in them. well, that
was their cd covers back a few years ago, I am not sure about their newer cd covers, whether they still have oranges in them or not. but it was really cool.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

One thing that separated them from other artists were their crazy orange covers and now just plain crazy covers. Having a chubby guy in a purple suit riding on a panda car was so awesome!

[rookies]

^ So, they stopped with the orange covers in their recent cd covers?

I'm going to go to their official site or something, and check the covers out, hehe. xD

[taskinillusion]

I wonder what the new single will sound like!

[rookies]

^ Me too!

For me, it's been so long since I've heard any music from them.

I can't even remember what their current songs sound like.

Guess I have a bit of catching up to do. ^^;

[Beauty4123]

i never even heard PANIC FANCY yet, lol, so i'm gonna DL that album on the weekend, along with some other albums. i'm just a really casual fan so i never heard a full album of theirs. only the singles

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^ Aww, how could forget HIROKI singing Banana is Oshare Bancho?
here's a reminder (skip to 6:59):

[rookies]

Me too, I'm just a casual fan. Lol.

Thanks for the video, I'm going to watch it!

[taskinillusion]

Wait, what song is that they're singing? Are they just singing some song or is that a song of theirs?

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^ It's a song of theirs, Oshare Banchou. Believe me, the actual PV is funnier.

[rookies]

^ I've never seen the Oshare Banchou PV before, but since you mentioned it is funny, I will check it out!

[Foxxy_Fuyumi]

I miss their 2005-ish music =(
