MORRIS BELIEVERS GET IN HERE
>>273782172Months ago, anons refused to let the final chapters of Morris archive, keeping the thread alive until bump limit. During that time I managed to find extras and posted about them>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/267837993/#q267939061Before the manga, Kamentotsu had posted a prequel of sorts, about Guru-Guru and the little black cat. I had emailed the scanlation group on the slim hope this old comic could be translated. Today, while revisiting the manga, I found that they had posted it as chapter 0>https://mangadex.org/chapter/eb7149f3-151f-4765-84d1-7314fbc5ca8cIt was about 3 weeks after the thread hit bump limit. Maybe (you) already saw this, but I haven't.

>>273783438no [MORRIS] the hentai mangakawhen I saw the thread my initial thought was that there's no way he'd gone legit right?
>>273784436>no [MORRIS] the hentai mangakalmao what
>>273782214>>273782593Didn't know that there was a prequel translation released afterwards. My memory is hazy but this is similar to the backstory given in the manga, so there's not much to comment on. Regardless, this is still very cute, and I always enjoy discovering additional material of something I like. Thanks for emailing the scanlation team and dumping the new translations, OP.
>>273784509this guy
>>273784602>this is similar to the backstory given in the mangayeah the first 4 pages were reused in chapter 11and the thorn monster seems to be a prototype of the creature they encounter in the mangabut it is fascinating how these ideas seem to be kamentotsu's original creation as the tweets were posted before the manga began, and then to see his ideas combine with hinatique's creation, and somehow decide to turn guru-guru into the villain of the story lol

Half a year later, Kamentotsu posted more about guru-guru and the little cat>https://x.com/Computerozi/status/1287943157166903296>The Little Cat Picture Book>"Diary"An anon in the last thread offered translations >The cat liked to keep a diary. Everyday, fitting what happened into one line, he would write down a summary of the whole day.>One day, curious about what he had been doing the last year, he reread through his diary. Then...
>>273786630>The cat from last year was also rereading his diary. Somehow, this made the cat feel somewhat delighted.>The cat decided that, for next year, he would also reread his diary on this day.>The end.
>>273783348well these pages were about this guy>picrelbut I understand that his name is more difficult to rhyme
https://x.com/Computerozi/status/1288306310937604096>The Little Cat Picture Book>"Light">One day, the cat turned off the light without much thought as he would usually. Then...
>>273787984>He noticed the interior bathing in bountiful sunlight as it entered the house.>Enveloped by the warm and gentle light, the cat felt very happy.>The end.
https://x.com/Computerozi/status/1289033827587723264>The Little Cat Picture Book>"Sandwich">The cat is making sandwiches. He puts in various things between them.>Although what is put in is also of importance, strangely enough, he gets the feeling that the taste of the sandwiches also changes with their shapes.
>>273789045>A square sandwich, a triangle sandwich, a sandwich with the crusts on. >Having made all sorts of sandwiches, the cat was very happy.>The end.

>>273782172>>273782593I came into this thread not knowing what this is about but I'm about to find out, what a cute style.
>>273797139a- another one? for such a tiny update, I'd say getting two new readers makes this thread a rousing success
Not yet.
>>273789157Thank you for the translation, anon.
>>273795903adorable
>>273782214Excellent work, anon.
>>273782172We have more morris? Excellent

>>273811976
>>273811190Nice.
Any word on the future of Morris? I'd like to see the story continue somehow.
>>273815947looks like morris the figure is still active>https://x.com/BAM_KAMAKURA/status/1863784559290220706a new special edition british morris gacha is coming out this monthand last month there was new colors for ghost morris (3 out of 5 of them glow in the dark)>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1864513123455258894hinatique just posted that she'll be going to the hong kong toy show next weekshe was also at DCON2024 in las vegas last monthso she's still active
>>273815947>>273817044https://x.com/hinatique/status/1860129216936947983>DCON2024 has concluded and we have returned home safely>It was the first time we have been to Las Vegas so we were nervous, but it was a really fun trip>This time, Teresa-san and I were honored to be in charge of designing the billboard together!>Morris and Inuharigon were displayed high in the streets of Las Vegas>I was thrilled to see it from the highway
>>273817482a better look at the design
>>273808959You could really see why lanky cat was so obsessed with sensei. It was cute
>>273782172HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKMORRISBROS WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
>>273782593Thanks OPMan, Morris was so good. It really came out of nowhere. I hope the mangaka is doing well, his ideas are too high minded for this world
>>273817044>morris gachaHow popular is Morris in Japan?
>>273817044as for kamentotsu, he seems to be working on >ano toki no kodomo-san in gekkan sundayvolume 2 recently went on sale in septemberhttps://gekkansunday.net/work/7482/
>>273820203I don't know but it's enough to keep getting new designs
when hinatique went to vegas, she and morris also visited the red rock canyon national conservation area>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1858748815811199165
>>273821544That's a good sign.
>>273817601https://x.com/hinatique/status/1851915996480835606
what is going on in the toy world?not only is she going to hong kong this month, not only was she in vegas last month,but she was in taiwan in october and in singapore in august?!
>>273825013Morris is going international. World domination soon.
>>273782214holy fucking based thank you
>>273828529kneel before the king
>>273817044>new special edition british morris gachaOnly for the Br***sh?
>>273830542it's for the japanese but it's br*tish themed
a few years ago, hinatique drew this for april fools day
>>273831405What does it say? Is it April Fool's related?
>>273831254Those lucky bastards. They get all the good stuff.
finally a chance to post morris stuff
never forget our bros
>>273796294>>273797139New convert!
>>273832955>another one grew
>>273839503
For a manga about a line of children's toys, why was it so weird? I love Morris, but it's not something I would read to a kid that I'd buy the toys for
>>273839503I wish the manga lasted longer. I wanted all the kitties to get spotlight chapters. Please god animate them
>>273842745>Please god animate themthink of the gacha sales sensei think of the gacha sales!(please this manga was so short and kino in the weirdest way lmao)
>>273842279what's weirder is that it was published in >young acethe morris manga may have taken some weird turns, but i don't know if young ace has the audience that would read about fluffball kitty-cats going on an adventure of friendship
>>273840061
>>273844438>i don't know if young ace has the audience that would read about fluffball kitty-cats going on an adventure of friendshipWell obviously not, it was axed
>>273845724
>>273782593Healing spells harm the undead.
>>273845724>>273845818 (me)bring it back in whatever young ace's version of a shojo magazine is>...monthly asuka i guess
>>273845724It was?
>>273849663
>>273845724It wasn't axed. Probably. More likely just a short run already agreed upon between Medicom and Young Ace. Partly why the world building was done as chapter extras from the beginning.
hinatique first released the morris figure back in 2016the manga came out 5 years later is there enough copium to think of an ova for the 10th anniversary?
Why did Guru-guru do it?
>>273853544because reasons
>>273784338The strongest morris
>>273855127
>>273853544Someone has to be the villain. If nobody fills that spot nobody knows what it yields.
>>273786054>and I didn't post the images in the last thread...You didn't have them saved?
>>273782172Whatever this is, I love it. I'm going to read Morris immediately. Thanks, OP.
>>273859074n- nyo....
>>273859114
>>273811190
>>273859585
>>273859114Our legions grow.
>>273845641I always liked their speech bubbles. Very dramatic.
>>273842210Have they made any dolls of the others?
>>273859114Morris army grows again
>>273868009not that I can see ; ;but the mice are hinatique's original creation, the morris figures have mice in his hoodie and there's even figures of the shroom-mice
>>273782172wait what?
>>273866089>k- kowai...
>>273871095Get with it, anon.
>>273872177
>>273875112>bottled on the floor ghostMorris-kun I know things are hard but drinking won't so--just realized that Morris looking like that is probably a reference to the ghost-Morris line of gacha
>>273878450the art for morris is so classy
>>273881894he's just a classy little guy
>>273870981>there's even figures of the shroom-miceSounds like there's a chance they might make more.
>>273885740the shroom-mice/kinora figures came out in 2019 and that predates the manga which came out in 2021but for a crumb of copium, 2 weeks ago hinatique retweeted kamentotsu's old post about chapter 1
>>273886966I'm gonna need more copium...
>>273888626see >>273852526
>>273889297My only hope.
>>273891684>My only hope.it's all we havelet us huff that hopium brother
wait so what is this? is the manga an ad for the toys?
>>273893395>is the manga an ad for the toys?yeah pretty much, but the story takes some wild turns for being an adorably drawn toy ad
>>273893395Basically, except it feels a bit limited to it an ad.
>>273876109cute
Is the Gacha doing well? Does it have more of Morris' story? I imagine it must have some lore at least.
>>273782593Thanks for the dump
>>273782245literally me
Morris mafia will live forever
>>273789045>>273789157He's right about the shape changing the flavor. Triangles and rectangles taste different.
>>273903927and then what happened?did you go insane?
>>273899384>Is the Gacha doing well? well they keep making new ones don't they?last month more colors for ghost morris came out, and this month there's a new collaboration with the britsh antique museum>Does it have more of Morris' story?I found this >>273811976
>>273908194how do you tell?
>>273909492>well they keep making new ones don't they?I don't know enough about gachas to know how much that means. What do you actually do in Morris' gacha?
>>273911450>What do you actually do in Morris' gacha?you look at them with love :-)but the gacha is just an extension of morris, there's actual figures with clothes and fur hinatique herself has one with movable arms that she likes to pose for photos
>>273910881do you look like this?
>>273899384I looked up some "unboxing" videos of the gachathey don't really come with anything extra>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc8TBEoYf0gthey only include tiny booklet that advertises the other gachait's the same case when buying the box that includes the whole set>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYQ2D_2F_w8I heard this man say kawaii fifty times just for you anon
>>273811976 (me)>don't know if the original storybook had words or not thoughfound a video of a fr*ench woman going to a hinatique expo>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJNLxrVXc1wbut she speaks american, we just have to bear her accentshe bought the little storybook and it does have words in it >picrelnear the end of the video she said she would make another video for only the book but it looks like she didn't...she's made other videos about buying morris stuff, and even went to a show for retro toy shop (hinatique + her friend) just a few months ago, so it's not that she's lost interest in our boyshe just forgor i guess
>>273913573Not yet but I aspire to it.
I slowed the video down and figured out the first page>picrel>ふしぎなことはある日とつぜんおこるものです。>モリスは鏡にうつるじぶんの姿におどろきました。>「つのがはえた猫なんてきいたことないよ！」
>>273917157I couldn't figure out the kanji, gomen >？べても？べても、なぜ>こんなことがおこったのか>こたえは出ません。page 4>きっとみんな？がるだろうね。
>>273917157>I slowed the video downIf you use the period and comma keys, you can go frame by frame through a YT video
>>273917520pic is already posted here >>273915307>いつの？にか？っていたモリスは>小鳥のさえずりに目を覚ましました。next page>「あれ？」and then she closes the bookbut we know there's more pages than that>>273811976>>273812004it seems like she skipped the page of morris crying about the evil shadow in the mirror
>>273917520I believe the Kanji is 調べて(しらべる)I don't know this manga, but I like the art and cats so I'm going to read this now. Thanks everyone good thread
>>273918928>I believe the Kanji is 調べて(しらべる)that sounds like it fits in context, thank you anon!there's 2 more here >>273915307>いつの？にか？っていたモリスはif you're able to decipher them kudasai
I want to hug guru-guru
>>273920043いつの間にか眠っていたモリスは小鳥のさえずりに目を覚ましました。いつの間にか = いつのまにか眠っていた = 眠る (ねむる)目を覚ましました = 目を覚ます (めをさます)I believe this is it. For me, the first one is almost impossible to read without the context or anything before it
>>273920867
little interview with hinatique regarding the picture book>https://tehon.tv/interview_kaorihinata_tsunogahaetaneko/>Q: What kind of person would you like to pick up and read this book, and what kind of mood would they be in?A: I hope that those who are anxious or worried about being different from others will feel warm and fuzzy after reading "The Cat with Horns.">Q: What is your favorite page and why?A: There is a page where Morris is turning the pages of a book while worrying about his horns. I like the motif of books, so it's a scene I wanted to draw. Although it's not a page, I also like that there are little mice everywhere.>Q: Please tell us your impressions of TEHON, "A Reading Supplement for the Heart," and your thoughts on the finished product.A: It's a very cute palm-sized book, so I thought it would be something I could carry around in my pocket and take out and reread from time to time.I've always wanted to write a picture book, so I am very happy that my dream has come true in the form of TEHON.>Q: He's a very impressive character, but is there a model for Morris?A: I've always liked jackalopes (a cryptid) which look like rabbits with horns, and had included them in my work, but when I was creating a new character, I thought it would be cute if a cat had horns and so Morris was born.
>>273924062>Q: Do the horns have any special meaning? If so, please tell us.A: Horns are associated with images of strength and conflict, I was fascinated by the imbalance of having horns on such a cute, seemingly conflict-free creature. The significance of the horns growing isn't made clear in the picture book, but I hope to be able to depict it in future works.>Q: The story begins with Morris the cat suddenly growing horns, but what would you do if you yourself grew horns?A: I think at first I'd be surprised like Morris and research this and that. But it also seems strange and exciting. I'd want to enjoy life with my horns, while being careful not to break anything around me or injure anyone.
>>273920961that also makes sense! well done anon-san :-)the youtube video lends weight to this site>https://clutter.co/t/kaori-hinata/labeling the pages in orderI posted them earlier in thread>part1of2.png>part2of2.pngthe page the french woman skipped is of morris scared about his reflectionhe probably cried himself to sleep and then the bird's chirping woke him up
>>273924083Arigato, translator anon.
>>273926254it was google to be honest, it does better when you only make it translate one sentence at a timebut i touched up some grammar and a word here and there
>>273926642That still counts.
>>273924522Interesting.
>>273924062>when I was creating a new character, I thought it would be cute if a cat had horns and so Morris was bornBorn to be cute.
>>273782593Thanks OP
>>273928908Save Morris!
>>273920043That makes me wonder, does the Morris gacha have an OST?
>>273937864a soundtrack? do gacha in japan have that?
>>273931180in another timeline he might've been a jackalope
>>273938972Is it not a digital thing?
>>273942052do you mean the machine? do gacha machines in japan play music?
>>273935817nyo, stop!
>>273942699I misunderstood what gacha meant. I thought it was a videogame.
>>273946184i think gacha was first used for the machines that give you toys>example:>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aP9HRA4V1joand then the word was applied to loot boxes due to being the same idea of "spend small increments of money in an attempt to collect them all but it leads to you spending a lot lmao"but i think the odds are worse when it's virtual, while the toy machines seem to have only a handful of options
>>273948629The bow tie undone is a nice detail.
>>273949994it comes with becoming godeverything else becomes trivial
>>273950873It's like how when people become rich enough they start dressing like they don't care.
>>273915307debating with myself if it's too late+embarrassing to ask frenchie if she ever uploaded a video about the little storybook...
>>273952870Why not, the worst that could happen is she ignores you.
>>273952870Do ask. The community depends on you.
>The worst she can say is no
>>273957606>she says no
>>273920867That's dangerous.
>>273783348
morrissey
>>273960920but he's a kitty cat
>>273965630a special one
>>273918928Have fun, anon.
Let's make 200
>>273970298almost...
:-)
>>273973021Did you get these?
>>273974978nah, it's just a pic i found online
>>273975001I wonder if any anon has gotten a Morris.
>>273975079an anon has the manga>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/267837993/#268150512but i don't know if they ever obtained a morris figure or other product
>>273975079>>273975918I have one of them, yes
>>273976437>HEwhy did you never show us that you have HIM
>>273976656But I did >>267983063
>>273977796you did not specify that it was (your) morris and not just some nip's pic you nabbed from online
>>273976437Oh right, the one that comes with the book. The rest are all gacha, right?
>>273982611>the one that comes with the bookyeah, one for each volume >>273973021they're bigger than the gacha>picrel
>>273982920I kinda like the silver+gold version. One of them has the canon color scheme I assume.
>>273983819>I kinda like the silver+gold version. naruhodo, an enjoyer of morris blanco>canon color schemethe red coat
>>273976437based, I should get around buying them too
>>273976437cute little fella in green
>>273976437Can you still get this?
We are falling...
>>273988891When I got it, the site I bought from said 2 left
>>273990970How long ago was that? I suppose they didn't make a new run yet.
>>273992645Like at the start of this year. I don't think there's a rerun for limited editions, my guy
>>273992721>don't think there's a rerun for limited editionsYeah, if it runs out I'll have to wait for a new run with a new edition.
>>273990970for how much?
Will we get more Morris?
>>273998954in what form?>the figure?it seems hinatique has a new metallic x monochrome morris that will be available at the hong kong toy show this weekend >the gacha?there's a new set this month that is a collaboration with the british antique museum >the manga?unknown >an anime?unknown but huffing hopium
>>273999070>metallic x monochromemetallic x *monotone
>>273996702The most dapper lad alive.
>>274001835
>>273831405This is an improvement, not even a joke.
>>273845724I doubt it was axed, more likely they just agreed for a short advertising serialization. >>273842279That is what made it interesting. I really don't care about toy collecting at all, but the manga was weirdly creative and dark in a way that I didn't expect. Even from a 'goth' coded toyline.
>>274002832>more likely they just agreed for a short advertising serializationstill odd that it was serialized in young ace kadokawa should've ran it in their shoujo magazine asukaasuka has serialized manga from clamp which i think is the right type of weird girl that would buy the figures (and would've made more fanart)
>>274002780she uploaded it as a joke but deep down she knows morris would be too powerful with three horns
>>274005388It had to be as a joke otherwise it would be too serious.
>>273999901>another recolormust be a really profitable business model
>>274008648her comment is literally>Metallic × Monotonewhich seems to imply there are two different things happening heremaybe it's made of a metallic material?>cyborg morris>must be a really profitable business modelconsidering that people do try to collect all recolors with irl gacha, digital gacha, even shiny pokemon... yeah? yeah
>>273997962Around ￥2300 iirc
>>274008830yeah
>>274009275That's very affordable.
>>274009275>>274012916give us the site anonymous
>>274012978Bezos's site
>>274013101That makes me wonder if there's any Chinese bootleg Morris' being sold.

>>273852526>the manga came out 5 years later I thought they released at the same time. There's no way she doesn't do something big for the 10th anniversary.
Is there only 21 chapters of this or am I looking wrong?

>>274029320cute
>>274042180Making money is a heavy burden.
We can't go on forever...
>>273852526>the manga came out 5 years later does that mean there was no story for Morris before then?

>>274098190Wait... you didn't write and draw the manga? That's what I meant.
>>274093484That's a lot more than I thought. The numerous collabs have got me hopeful.

>>273782172aaaaaaaa
>>274114596
>>274110343I've seen pictures that there was a Morris like that once don't know what the occasion was for though
>>274118360Really? Maybe I'll try to look for it. I didn't expect that.
>>274108350maybe he has...I was getting these links from searching google images could've easily missed something like that
>>274122573I see. I thought you had them ready for a moment like this.
>>274125250when I say >I just found thisI do mean it, maybe found it an hour ago at most lol
>>274126686damn, well it's good that you looked
>>274120099I was wondering how in the world I saw that, it must've somehow been related to previous searches...I figured it out lolif you don't have a twitter, it'll only show a profile's most popular posts, and one day I decided to look through those instead of messing with a proxy>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1152207029315837954from 2019
>>274129173another one!>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1580946224777408513from 2022she mentions suga in the post and you can see the 25th anniversary logo maybe this is what suga meant when he said big morris would be there lmao
>>274129503same event
>>274130297cute
>>274129503That probably what he meant yeah. I'm glad you confirmed the existence of big Morris.
>>274133126I need more context when she said>We apologize for the cancellation of the farewell party after the performance due to concerns that it would cause chaos in the lobby.farewell party? with suga and big morris?!? chaos?!
>>274108350>pic!rel!>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1621530403554336768from february 2023>I was listening to a song from Suga Shikao's new album, and the lyrics included the word "horned cat" (tsuno neko) and I was so surprised I nearly spilled my coffee!I tried looking at the comments but nobody named the song but I've determined that suga dropped the album >イノセント>Innocent on february 1st
>>274135331Impressive work
>>274135008We can only hope it was nothing big that was missed out on.
>>273782172I love it.

>>274103295Is there international shipping or do I have to hope for scalpers?
>>274149931scalpers because these were goods exclusive to suga's 25th anniversary tour back in 2022
>>274150094So it goes...
>>274020790The hugs were the best part.
>>274151607I've read and watched a lot of stuff where you'd expect hugs but somehow get barely any. This manga delivered.

>>274108350>>274135331 (me)one of the comments seemed to quote the lyric>ぼくが～ 君に～ あげた あの～ツノネコのアクセサリ～and after some listening I think it's this one>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqj3Iwu2sQI>Mercari Funklisten for >boku ga kimi ni ageta ano tsuno neko no accessoryI need a real nip anon to tell me what the song is about lmao are they shopping at mercari
>>274162548cool
>>274162548Hopefully this becomes actual music one day.
>>274167723what do you mean "this"?
>>274167795Hinatique's interpretation of Suga's music. Maybe I misunderstood.
>>274169853look at the link, that's from yoppy.world not hinatiqueas she said in her actual message >>274162206 she participated in providing an illustration, not designing the whole book
>>274170059My bad, sorry.
>>274170128Don't trust him, Morris!
>>274104243hehe good

>>274186356It's a spirit trying to tell us something.
>>274188303
>>273860458That looks similar to a woodwork.
>>274192418I threw on that filter when I rotated the image, and I liked it because it made it look more like woodworkI posted this last thread but here's a video of him working on a manga page >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNfs_NV_en4
>>274193389Naruhodo.
>>274146958We must find him!
>>274196858
>>274197464I'd love for one of these to become a figure.
Has Hinatique talked about being a fan of something that inspired Morris?
let's make 400
>>274197464look at them go!
>>274208454lots of shrooms
>>274210767foreshadowing
>>274212399
>>274202284thread was idle for 3 and a half hours and you swooped in >Has Hinatique talked about being a fan of something that inspired Morris?she talks a bit about it here >>273924062>>273924083>Q: He's a very impressive character, but is there a model for Morris?>A: I've always liked jackalopes (a cryptid) which look like rabbits with horns, and had included them in my work, but when I was creating a new character, I thought it would be cute if a cat had horns and so Morris was born.and>Horns are associated with images of strength and conflict, I was fascinated by the imbalance of having horns on such a cute, seemingly conflict-free creature. there's a longer interview that I've been looking at on off and on but she says similar things>In 2015, I had the opportunity to attend an overseas event where I felt there was a lot of excitement surrounding art toys, and I wanted to create a figurine that could be exhibited at events in various countries. That's how Morris was born.>Morris is a figure that is stuffed with everything I love. A cat with a mouse, smiling but with a somewhat gloomy expression, a deep green coat with a big hood, six gold buttons, chubby-toed boots, and so on.>Since I love fantasy, I wanted to add a little something out of the ordinary, so I gave him horns. I like the sense of imbalance that comes with having such a sweet-looking creature growing such manly horns.
>>274216152Thanks man
>>274218931:)
It's time to go.
>>274222636it's been 2 weeks nowbesides finding out about chapter 0's translation, we've learned that big morris exists, and that if there's ever an anime that suga shikao is basically guaranteed for opa lot of reaction images were cropped along the way too
>>274223488If Hinatique stopped tweeting about the event we'll have to wait for the next significant piece of news. Most likely it'll be the anniversary in 2026.
>>274224531>about the eventdo you mean about the hong kong toy show?the award she won was the last dayshe and morris are back in japanotherwise she's retweeted pics/videos of people collecting the british morris gachathere's a little exhibit right now of the retro toy shop where other artists painted custom versions of the characters>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1869040633585053720the retro toy shop is the collaborative label between hinatique and her friend teresa (who she went to vegas with) but this event began while hinatique was in hong kongI remember seeing her post a pic about glow-in-the-dark glitter paint, and now we see why!>https://x.com/hinatique/status/1869331285547872678the gacha company is celebrating its 10th anniversaryshe'll be exhibiting a custom dark glitter ghost morris at their pop-up event (dec.19-jan.2)>picrel
>>274225458>the gacha company is celebrating its 10th anniversaryThat's good to know.
>>274225458that's a very spooky but cute morris
>>274225458I assume not but are there any other crossover Morris' besides Suga?
>>274230387there's been other collabssee here >>274093484but suga is the only musician I think, and his collab is amazingly thorough for something that barely had a manga at the time>drawing in the book that came with the special edition of his 25th anniversary album>gacha and figure>big morris at his concert>reference in a song lyricthe man's a morris fan
>>274230387>>274231264I forgot the 25th anniversary tour exclusive mug and tote bag with suga morris
>>274231264Do we know who approached who first?
>>274234057not that I know of, but there should be info out there somewhere>...semi-related but I found hinatique's instagram post about big morris, she elaborates more on what he was doing there>To celebrate Suga Shikao's 25th anniversary tour, Morris also went to the Kokusai Forum>We were in charge of welcoming the audience who came to see the live showimagine, you go to a concert and you see morris welcoming you
>>273782172I missed this daily when you dumped it but you managed to catch my interest now.
>>274234057this piece about the gacha collab>https://sofvi.tokyo/220824-towerrecords-morris/says that they>have had a long-standing relationshipbut then again an alternate tl is >have been in contact for some timethe other day I found an instagram post from suga saying that planning for the gacha/figure collab began 2 years before, so that line could be a reference to that and not about them hanging out before the collab lolbut there doesn't seem to be questionnaires/interviews about them...
>>274234847>when you dumped itI'm not the original daily-anon lolI'm the retard that commented a lot during that dump and then when anons wouldn't let the last thread end I went on research tangents lmao and now it's happening all over again
