This is something that Ageha Ohkawa wrote in her Private Board of CLAMP-PLA.NET that I found interesting. It’s a little foreshadowing of what’s to come in Tsubasa. She posted it on June 2nd.
Humm
Indeed when I’m listening to bright songs (female idol, all happy) while writing a heavy story, I feel like something is missing.
No, my iPod is broken and it only plays the same songs.
It looks like, “Love is, the best ever!”
But in the story I’m writing right now, it looks like “the worst thing ever”, instead of “the best”.
No, I gotta take these headphones off. Done.

うむ
やっぱり明るい曲（女性アイドル。幸せいっぱい系）を聴きながら、重い話を書くのは何かが削られていく。
いや、ipodが壊れて同じ曲ばっかり流すの。
恋、最高！ みたいな感じの。
でも書いてる話は、最高どころか、ちょっと今最低状態なんですけど、みたいな。
いや、ヘッドフォン外します。はい。
Prepare the tissues xDDDDDDDD

Not bad… for a 7-minutes long DVD and a re-release xDDDDDDDD Keep in mind that E-hon’s ranking is general, which means it included ALL kinds of DVDs, not only anime. Also, yay for Code Geass, but since it’s not a CLAMP creation, and not the subject of study of this post, I didn’t highlight it ^^””
For those who don’t know yet, -chan has scanned the Box, the cases and the special pamphlet that came with Card Captor Sakura THE MOVIE COLLECTION (including the cover illustration, of course!). You can find those in here ^__^
I found some pictures from the (very cool) menu:
Movie 1 menu. Clow cards, Clow staff.
Movie 1 extras menu (Official trailers and TV spots). Hong Kong buildings in the background!
Movie 2 menu. Sakura cards, Sakura staff.
Movie 2 extras menu. Imperial Penguin in the background! XD

i guess so… it’s older than what i remember in my 10 years or so in hong kong, because you see those random rectangular things sticking out? you normally see those in buildings that are 20~30 years old… modern buildings tend to not have them .___.

they are clothing lines 😛 it’s not clear in the images, but if it was in real life, you’ll see a few lines/pieces of string inside the rectangle and that’s where people used to hang their clothes to dry 😛
no one really uses them now, and it’s quite dangerous anyways… so it’s not on the modern buildings 😛

No, we’re not sure. I should have said that, actually. I’m just assuming that she’s talking about Tsubasa since we’re about to see Fye’s story and all, but it could be XXXHOLiC, too.

Ohisashiburi da ne.
I would translate “最高どころか” as “not at all the extreme,” leaving that second-to last sentence as “But the story I’m writing, it’s not at all the extreme, but right now it looks a bit like the worst situation ever.” So things could get still worse before they get better.
Thanks for the bits off the boards, I always enjoy them, they make the best fodder for speculation.

don’t, it’s not the best english ever. ^_^ “saikou” isn’t “the worst” (that’s “saitei,” which she uses later on), it’s just “the most” or “the extreme,” and “dokoroka” is “not at all,” or at least that’s the best way i could think to translate it. i’m being picky.
LikeLike
My friend did mention “the extreme” (he translated it for me). I showed the english version and he approved it.
