First post of 2009! What an honor! xD 2009 is already among us, let’s hope for the best!
And on this first day of the new year, I bring CLAMP new year’s messages taken from their private boards.
New Year…
Happy New Year.
This year CLAMP’s life as creators reaches its 20th anniversary at last.
My best regards this year too.
This year we welcomed the new year at Ohkawa’s place. I had taken a short nap, but I woke up just in time to see the new year’s arrival (laughs).
Thank you everybody for sending e-mails with new year’s greetings. We will answer later.
PS: She had written that this year she would become 40 years old, but she edited the entry later xD
あけまして…
あけましておめでとうございます。
今年はとうとうＣＬＡＭＰとしての作家生活も20周年。
今年もどうぞよろしくお願い致します。
今年は大川のお家で年越しでした。が、さっきまで寝てました。年が明けた瞬間は、むりくり起こされたんですが（笑）。
お年賀mail下さった皆様、有り難うございます。あとで、お返事しますー。
Congratulations
2009 arrived.
This year marks our 20th debut anniversary, working as creators.
To those who are close to us,
And those who we have not seen in a while,
All of our meetings have been treasures.
We will try our hardest this year as well,
so everyone, please take care of us.
To everyone, I hope that 2009 will be the utterly most happiest year ever.
おめでとうございます
２００９年になりました。
今年でわたし達はデビュー作から２０年、作家としてお仕事させていただけている事になります。
今も仲良くしてくださる方々も、
会わなくて久しい人達も、
全ての出逢いがわたし達の宝物です。
今年も頑張りますので、
皆様、どうぞよろしくお願い致します。
皆様にとっても、２００９年が、
今までより更に更に、幸せな１年でありますように。
2009 begins
Happy New Year!
Sorry for saying something so ordinary.
A new year is starting.
I think we all have our own kind of year, but I hope this one will be good for everyone.
Let’s treat each other well.
２００９年始まります
明けましておめでとうございます！
月並みな出だしですみません。
新しい年が始まります。
色々ひとそれぞれの一年があると思いますが、
今年が皆様にとって、良い年でありますように。
よろしくおつきあいくださいませ。
New Year
Happy New Year!!
And so I spent the last day of the month, and the year, with food at *Nanako-boss’ house.
It looks like it’ll be a good year.
I hope everyone has a good year!
* That’s how she refers to Ohkawa, sometimes xD
新年
あけましておめでとうございました！！
というわけで、晦日、と元旦、ななこボスんちで持ち寄りおかずで新年会でした。
良い年になりそうです。
みなさまも良いお年を！
Big thanks to usomitai‘s kind help with the translations!
Too bad they broke the tradition this year by not doing any drawings with the chinese year animal (this is the ox year in the chinese horoscope).
romanchan let me know about a couple of things I would like to share.
The first is a review of MUTUALITY: CLAMP works in CODE GEASS artbook. I haven’t seen anywhere where you can download the full artbook (if you have, please let me know!_ but in this review there are a few pages in huge resolution (just download the 320 MB zip file).
The other thing is a trailer of Card Captor Sakura Blu-ray box that was shown in Comiket last year, the quality is not the best since it was cam-recorded.
The Clow arc will be released in March and Sakura arc in June.

This time they didn’t mention GD, unfortunately.
But a couple of days ago Nekoi wrote that she was re-reading GD, hummm could this mean anything? (here we go again xD)

That would be really nice, to get those Blu-ray outside Japan.
