XXXHOLiC & Tsubasa “big project” soon to be announced, and more

The website CLAMP-PLA.NET has a section called “Columns” that consists of monthly columns written by people somehow related to CLAMP’s works. The same section CLAMP-NET.COM used to have years ago.

Currently, there are 4 columns in total, 3 of them are written by the editors of their current works (Tsubasa, XXXHOLiC and Kobato.), and a fourth one is written by Takuya Matsushita, who works at the comics sales department of Kodansha.

Takuya Matsushita updated his column today, and in it, he says that there’s a “big project” in the works regarding Tsubasa and XXXHOLiC that will soon be announced.

In his words:


さらに、「XXXHOLiC」「ツバサ」ともに、大プロジェクトが現在進行中です。まもなく発表になると思いますので、皆さんホームページや本誌、コミック告知にご注目ください!!

You might remember Takuya Matsushita from this post of mine where we learned that he was an important piece on the puzzle of turning Tsubasa’s Tokyo arc into animation. He tells us to keep an eye on the official websites, magazines and comics. Don’t worry Matsushita, we will!

Whatever it is, I’m already excited about it, more information as they come!

On other small news, the official website of XXXHOLiC◆Kei has a new layout in response to the upcoming new season. Most of its sections are still under construction, though.

The new season of XXXHOLiC premieres in April on TBS.

Lastly, -san has kindly scanned a few pages (the most interesting, according to herself) of the CLAMP in CARDLAND Official Catalog book, which can be downloaded on her LiveJournal.

Amongst the scans, there are previews of the 2nd Season special cards (Rayearth and Code Geass).

Thank you for letting me know about it! ^__^

Happy Birthday Satsuki Igarashi and more

I have a lot of short things to say today, let’s start with the birthdays.

Today (by now yesterday in Japan), is the birthday of Satsuki Igarashi of CLAMP! The lady is turning 39 years old today, congratulations Igarashi-sensei! ^__^

Like a real fan and admirer, I can only wish her happiness and great achievements in her personal and professional life. May she keep contributing with her ideas and assistance for CLAMP’s benefit and development as a successful group (this fan also hopes that one day she’ll draw her own series for CLAMP).

お誕生日おめでとうございます!

More on Satsuki’s birthday

Some CARDLAND news now, the package illustration for the 2nd Series has been announced:

I liked it a lot! Actually better than the first one. I like how Subaru and Hikaru’s arms are entangled. And Subaru is wearing a blue jacket again xD

That image will also be the illustration for one of the three special cards featuring new CLAMP art:

Left to right: New companion, Lelouch and C.C. and Tokyo Tower (this last one featuring Mahou Kishi Rayearth).

3rd Series – May, 2008.
4th Series – August, 2008.

CLAMP NEWS !!

So wow! December, huh? This past week has been c-r-a-z-y. Probably one of my worst weeks to date xD I mean, it was the last week of the semester in university, finishing all projects has driven me insane, and to make things worse, I got terribly sick on Thursday onwards (I still am a little~).

That is why I’ve been away these days. Away from my LJ (although thankfully, there hasn’t been much going on), away from my e-mail (sorry for not replying to my e-mails! I will soon!!) and away from my flist.

But it’s alright now, university is over for 2007, thank god, which means I’m on vacation, yay! I shall have more free time now.

Let’s get down to business, then. This time the updates are on the 3rd because the 1st was a Saturday and CLAMP-NET.COM no longer updates on weekends.
