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 *-*
