WOOOOW this is so COOL! Because this is the not only the first time CLAMP collaborates with superstar GACKT, but also the first time CLAMP creates a story for a live stage! I think this is going to be something extremely interesting to see! I hope there will be DVD and Blu-ray releases for this later!

Gotta love CLAMP exploring new medias!

Update: Comic Natalie has more info and the first artwork by CLAMP!


Click to enlarge it.

According to the website, prior to the beginning of the live performances, a manga series will run in a Kodansha magazine! Other media adaptations such as anime, games and movie are also planned!

Rough plot summary provided by ANN:

Gackt will play the title role of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a general who was critical to the Genpei War that inspired the literary classic Heike Monogatari (Tale of the Heike). The play’s version of Yoshitsune will possess strange powers.

NEW CLAMP MANGA!!! =DD

B2・HOLiC and CLAMP sign session

The official website of Blythe has news about their upcoming collaboration with CLAMP.

As previously announced, CLAMP is designing a Blythe doll called B2・HOLiC based on Yuuko’s character from XXXHOLiC. It will be a limited production of only 1000 units.

The release date is set to October costing 26.250 yens. The doll will be formally revealed to the public at the Blythe shop Junie Moon Daikanyama on October 15, where it will be sold in advance.

To celebrate the release, there is going to be a sign session with CLAMP on October 23. More details will be announced later this month.

In addition, an exhibition featuring XXXHOLiC illustrations will be held in Shibuya, Tokyo, from October 4th to 30th.

Excited about the sign session! I believe this is the first one since 2009 in Japan Expo.

The staff of CLAMP FESTIVAL 2011 TOKYO announced today that the event will have its own original character(s)! A preview pic has been posted but all we can see so far are the Mokonas’ ears.

Maybe it’s a musician character? Or maybe an entire band? =D

New CLAMP x Blythe Collaboration

The official Blythe website confirms that a new doll in collaboration with CLAMP will be released in the fall:

The latter half the year, in the fall, we are planning a collaboration doll with super popular manga group, “CLAMP”!

My guess is the Yuuko doll that was announced at the CLAMP@MOBiLE Fes! 2011 event.

It looks like this doll will be available for purchase? Unlike the Sakura and Watanuki ones which were only made for the charity event.

The website also has a few screenshots of the upcoming OAD. You must click on the “screenshot” button written in japanese in order to see them (4th button).

This website has a preview of the Koukan-Nikki doujinshi in which CLAMP participated as guest artists. You must click on the “Hai” button in order to see it (1st button).

Lastly, I don’t know if this information is any helpful for anyone but Animate is selling a clearfile with the crossover illustration from the CLAMP@MOBiLE Fes! 2011 poster. Not sure if they deliver overseas but this can be an easier way of having a clearfile (not a poster) with that illustration without having to attend the @MOBiLE event.

CLAMP to guest in Minoru Toyoda & Kumichi Yoshizuki’s doujinshi

CLAMP will be guest artists in Minoru Toyoda & Kumichi Yoshizuki‘s doujinshi Koukan Nikki (交換日記, Exchange Diary). Apart from CLAMP, the doujinshi will have other 4 guest artists.

There is a hotsite open for the doujinshi:

The 68 page, B5 format doujinshi will be sold for 1000 yens at the 79th edition of Comiket (Dec. 29~31).

This is the first time in a good while that CLAMP collaborates for a doujinshi.

The news came from a message posted in CLAMP-NET.COM by Nanase Ohkawa.

A little bit of background info now. One of the authors of this doujinshi, artist Kumichi Yoshizuki, is a friend of Ichirou Mihara (from the game developer company ARIKA). As you know, CLAMP and Mihara are close friends. CLAMP and Kumichi Yoshizuki were introduced through Mihara when he visited CLAMP’s studio in February 2009 (exchanged autographs, etc). This collaboration probably sprouted from that meeting =)

CLAMP’s Peter Pan has belts in his clothes and Tinker Bell looks like Primera =) Clearly a Nekoi work here 😉

Apart from the cover, CLAMP was also in charge of drawing the inside illustrations.

The book will be released on November 17.

Thanks syaoranmew for the heads up!
