I was able to find a more detailed report of what happened at CLAMP New Year’s event !
Info about Tsubasa, XXXHOLiC and CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 2 are after the cut.
CLAMP’s New Year event happened yesterday in Japan at Tokyo, and hearing from the people who attended to it I was able to make this small report ^^
Follow the cut (beware for the report contains spoilers for Tsubasa):
First I have to apologize for the people who commented on my previous post. Yes, I double posted @_@ and when I went to delete one of them, the stupid here ended up deleting the wrong one @____@ I’m so sorry about that, but I read all of your comments (Yes, I’m very happy for Shin Shunkaden as well ! ^^) and thank you for commenting *bows*
Now, on to today’s post…
As you can see, all that “ABSOLUTELY NO pictures allowed” thing was a big fat lie, at least for the press members, just to discourage those who were thinking on bringing their own cameras. I say that because members of the press were allowed to record the conference (of course) and take pictures at specific times.
First we had a transcription of the Press Conference, and now we have a deeper look of the fan’s panel where around 5000 people attended.
Thanks to everybody of my flist for letting me know about it *-*
Gouhou Drug coming back, the total number of volumes for X, their eye-fetish, it’s all there…
For those who forgot about it, today was the day that CLAMP held a sign section at Seoul, Korea. The Korean press took some pictures and we’ve got some really nice ones !
Anime News Network did an amazing report on Ohkawa-sensei’s visit to Taiwan and a transcript for her interview, here. You’ll also find bigger old pics and a new one too ! *-*
Highlights:
– P IG and Ohkawa-sensei officially considers XXXHOLiC as a shoujo XD
– CLAMP is officially looking for another magazine to serialize X, then. Good. And she was asked “oh-so-many-times” about it, nice.
– CLAMP wanted to create a legendary aura by not appearing on the media XDD They certainly did ! But I never heard of the 8 Nanase Ohkawa rumor xD (I did hear one about a man among them xDDD).
Thanks to for posting this news !
More info about Ohkawa-sensei’s participation on Tapei’s Book Festival.
She said she was surprised with so many fans that came to see her, they asked a couple of questions during the lecture:
The first one was, of course, about X’s serialization. It’s good for her to see that this is the top question. Anyway, she answered the same thing of Puff’s interview, that the continuation of the serialization is difficult because of the serious content (earthquakes and underage being injured) that may seem inappropriate to Asuka magazine, but that they will finish it anyway. Yeah, great, just when? u.u
The other question was regarding the name changes, which was a bit clearer than the other explanations I saw before. Apparently “Mokona Apapa” seemed too “mature” so Mokona opted for just “Mokona”. Nekoi was so often reminded that she shared a name with Rolling Stone’s singer, “Mick” Jagger xD that she changed to “Tsubaki”. As for the other 2, they just went with the flow of changing names, I think they didn’t have any specific reason. She said their 15th anniversary seemed very appropriate to make it happen.
Anyway the thing that caught my attention the most wasn’t any of those questions. The article I read talked about the fact that this was CLAMP’s first appearance outside Japan, and later on, it mentions that Ohkawa-sensei is due to visit South Korea on May and omg the United Stated on July !!! I don’t know if it’ll be just her or all the CLAMP members, but that’s great news !!! CLAMP is finally traveling overseas !
Who knows, maybe many of you can get a chance to see her *-*
