What surprised me the most on the latest TRC chapter wasn’t the fact that Sakura had a vision, or the fact that it concerned Fye and the others. What surprised me the most was to see this.

I was shocked at first, “CLAMP using an assistant?!?!?!?”, but then, flipping through the other chapter pages, I read the news that CLAMP would appear in the japanese show Wanna Gonna, of TBS channel.

I also noticed that the name of one of the show’s MCs and the supposed “assistant” of this chapter matched ! She is Nakagawa Shoko, a very famous japanese idol. So it was easy to conclude that, while making a participation on the show, CLAMP let her draw a few lines for the chapter ! XD

She posted over her blog that her assistance can be seen on page 417. She said she helped to ink Sakura and Fye’s clothes XDD

Nakagawa Shoko is a huge CLAMP fan, according to herself. She made a very pretty drawing of Umi, which is her favorite CLAMP character, for the section Newtype Express, that can be seen in CLAMP Newtype PASTEL.

Her connection with CLAMP doesn’t end here. In August of 2004, CLAMP attended as guests on the japanese radio show Comic Jack, and at that time Shoko was one of the MCs of the show.

That being said, let’s get down to what really matters ^^

Wanna Gonna – TBS
Broadcast date: February 25th.
Broadcast time: 1:20~1:50 AM (of the 26th).

Since they referred to it as “appearance” and not “guest appearance”, I’m assuming CLAMP won’t be going to the show’s studio (I don’t even know if the show HAS a studio XD), more like they will be interviewed in CLAMP’s own studio (that would explain Shoko’s assistance, too), but it’s just a guess ^^”

Time to give my friend Yoshiyuki-kun one more job~ XD

Ah! And in case you are wondering, yes, he did manage to capture the CLAMP Mokona no Okimono Kimono segment aired last Friday. I’m gonna share it here as soon as I get it from him ^_~
