Moyashimon live stream - 10 May 2010
I am currently addicted to watching Ishikawa Masayuki, the Moyashimon mangaka, draw. Live.
Seriously, he puts me to shame... the difference between a pro and an amateur really is like heaven and earth.
Anyway, onto the meat of it. He showed us some of the Moyashimon merchandise on the livestream, throwing in his own commentary. So I put up some of the screenshots I took (towards the end) as well as translations of what he said.
Notes:
italics
comments = from the people watching the live-stream
post-its = all from the mangaka
Post-it: I'm on the phone with the guy in charge
Post-it: I'm waiting for a delivery, so I'll start again at 9
[Ishikawa comes back immediately and starts drawing again]
Post-it: The Moyashimon goods are here!
Post-it: I'll show it to you guys when I'm done with Maria
Post-it: It should be okay to show it to you guys before they go for sale, right?
Post-it: Cuz they delivered them to me
Random comment on live stream: "I want to go to the toilet but I can't"
[a pink wallet/pencil case thing]
Post-it: Happy Assort 3
Post-it: Moyashimon goods from the Chief
[showing a crystal strap with 3D pictures floating inside]
Post-it: Crystal?
[plastic bag of figures]
Post-it: Movable figures
[lots of towels]
Flood of comments: Towels! Cute! I want!
[oryzae-shaped things]
Post-it: Puffy stickers
[he takes a stamp out of those plastic balls and makes some stamps]
Post-it: Bread? 4 types
[he squishes the bread]
One of the commentators was kind enough to provide a link showing all 4 types of bread straps you can get: see here.
[owl badge]
Post-it: Not for sale owl
>> the owl is Artemis from Junketsu no Maria
Post-it: A lot of people have probably gotten it before I did
Post-it: The owl was included by the salespeople when Maria was released"
[Kaleidoscope]
Post-it: Sales promo item
Post-it: The slightly moveable figures figures from just now
Post-it: They're super slightly moveable. I'll demonstrate.
[the small fungus rolls a little]
[the top-knot moves a little]
Post-it: Amazing, right?
Post-it: That's all the goods.
Post-it: After this, there's the 'fungus rucksack' at the editing department
Post-it: Picture of it
Post-it: Want it?!
Flood of comments: Yes!
[Long pause from mangaka]
Post-it: Sorry, I was at a total loss of what to say
[Ishikawa goes back to drawing]
END
His Q&A session will be posted starting tomorrow... I'm splitting it because it's very long, and the latter parts are also probably pretty hard to translate.
