We’re back with another doujinshi from G.GRAPHITY, featuring a number of familiar names, including Makoto Tateno (盾乃誠) herself, Ai Ushio (潮藍), Shio Chiba (千葉志生), Ai Naniwa (浪花愛), Shio Sato (佐藤志生), and many more. Imagine an AMV, but in art or comic form, set to popular songs of the late 70s and early 80s. That’s essentially the premise behind this “Image Song Collection”.
Title: IMAGE! Garma Zabi Image Song Collection
Year: 1984
Subject: Mobile Suit Gundam
Circle: G.GRAPHITY
As this is a music-themed doujinshi, I’ve done my best to find every song mentioned on YouTube, compiled in playlist format for easy viewing (and so this page doesn’t take forever to load.) Below each image gallery will be a track list, matching up the page number and title with the number of the song in the playlist, if you want to listen along.
This is Part 1, covering pages 1 – 56.

Collaboration Song
The following is a collaboration between the artists Sheena Tachibana & Makoto Tateno (橘しいな&盾乃誠) for the song CAT’S & DOG’S by the group Shibugakitai (シブガキ隊). Tateno drew Garma while Tachibana drew Char.
Translated lyrics below the gallery. This is song 8 on the playlist.
Anybody, everybody is no good!
No love, no romance, no dreams, no lies!
It’s a strange thing, the cliché line
Everyone is blue (naive)
I can’t accept that the two of us are just friends
Still soaking wet from the evening shower
After a sudden hug
I’ll lock you in my gentle eyes
With a one two three
I’ll finish it at this pace
Cats and Dogs
I don’t want this guy, that guy, or whoever!
I don’t want this, that or whatever!
I don’t care if it’s done well.
People do it all the time
I want you to know how I really feel, don’t believe me.
The drops in your hair gleaming
A drop sparkled and fell
The secret of two people
who swore by a pinky promise
With a one, two, three,
don’t say anything, just make sure
Cats and Dogs
I’ll lock you in my gentle eyes
With a one two three
Now is the most wonderful time
Cats and Dogs

So this comic is interesting. It’s not drawn based on a single song, but a whole bunch of songs together, often multiple on a single page. This makes things a bit difficult to keep track of, but I’ve done my best to separate the track listing with footnotes.
